Nah, that was a great win in a high pressure game.

The old saying is that talk is cheap. One of his predecessors PJ, didn't talk a lot...just did. You're correct...on field success is where his time will be measured.

We're certainly getting a lot of words. I don't know if that translates to transparency. I will wait and see the actions...and the results of those actions.

The jury is still out for me...

I think we will have a better idea in around 5 years time. These assessments are really discussion (argument) starters and bare no resemblance to reality.

If people think anyone is going to trade out of next years draft for a pick this year they are also kidding themselves.

People who think 7 & 8 in this draft is a fair deal are kidding themselves...

It is a terrible result Dimma ...for a 29yo proven finals player (Norm Smith Medal)

Unlikely that anyone will swap... edit: and it appears that each time we've tried this we've missed the particular player we wanted. Humphrey, Watson, Holmes... So I wouldn't be banking on this strategy.

...because it's much easier getting a good media pay packet and firing shots from the sidelines without any recriminations.

Good man...it wasn't that hard after all.

One day you are going to surprise and say something positive without adding any negatives. by the way...I'm pretty sure the Port fan base aren't the greatest judges of coaching talent.

I was a little concerned as well. Looks like things are coming together nicely.

Not surprising...

Seems to be rule of the week...they were red hot last night as well. edit: that last one was so ridiculous no one knew who it was against.

It's the CEO I meant & I hope he's not going to hide away behind the glass. Interested to see.

Will the GM be mixing with the fans tonight? I'm interested 'Ghosty'...

Kingy... Neeld 2.0 or Blight 2.0 (Adelaide Version)? Time will tell.

I'm sorry to see it go. It's part of the uniqueness of our game which has been diluted further by this move. I would have changed the rule so they did not have to bring back a bad bounce. Also would have brought back the bounce around the ground. If they want fair then change to a round ball. ...and as for the sub, I would have eliminated it and not added another interchange player. 4 on the bench is enough. Cut the rotations to a small number a Q...and you won't need to be worried about disadvantage with injury.

History can be insightful. Howe was playing forward until injury (to defenders) forced him back which is where he has remained for his career apart from a few cameo's forward. Turns out he's good at it. Nothing is a given.

The same thing happened with Jeremy Howe, wanted to play forward. Buckley and Collingwood sold him on being that forward at Collingwood and guess where he's played ever since they figured he wasn't the forward they needed. He's been a back man for them and Roos was right all along. No guarantee the same thing won't happen to McVee at Freo...Cameron kicks 5 and who is Longmuir going to move onto him.. just a tip, it's not going to be Clark.

Might not have a choice...

Do they still exist? Asking for a friend....

Really miss Dennis, not so much Bruce, but as a pair they were streets ahead (states/countries really).

Sad as it is...I'm more disappointed by the deception. ...but you are right, we're better off without them.
