Everyone is in the same boat with these rule changes, Russian needs to adapt to the new setup. It might actually benefit him....but don't ask me how...

Let's hope it is JV in 2013, he has a sidestep that moloney will never have.

10 million can buy a lot you know!

Now you're just being silly !!

Pretty sure WYL is listening chief. Bailey's game was run and carry, most of the time backwards, sideways or the wrong way. I think WYL was saying that considering the MCG is our home ground, how is it our players haven't figured out how to use its open spaces to their advantage. But firstly they need to be fit enough...that's the starting point.

At least his contributions are on the topic.

It was a fair opening post McQueen, and good topic.

Then why are you still on here reading it Stuie? Even better, start a topic of your own... It's all been said before, but what about people who are new on here, they may want to discuss it.

It's a really exciting group of talent 1-6 and massively important in our future.

March 31st against PA might give us all the answers...much like it did last year against Brisbane. 3 months for Neeldy to get the team primed.

I know relatives of bennell from WA...pretty wild on the [censored] those boys and can seriously fight. Hope he learns from his mistake because he's a joy to watch play AFL.

Didak.....cousins.... The list goes on. Non indig boys

I think as long as neeld gets us somewhere around the 8 most of us will be happy, it will be crazy if we don't get results this year considering the list clear out and the improvement with training. Even if we only win 4 or 5 games again this year can we really blame Neeld? If the players put in the effort he does we should see results in no time.

Waste of talent, but there have been so many.....

Thoroughly enjoyable.

Thanks HG. Much appreciated the info.

Yes, but Hobart was an option...

Plenty of 18year old men have drank UDL's before... when he displays photo's of the crack pipe(if he has one) we should be concerned.

You say we will improve a lot...but how is 14th a big improvement?

12-14TH what's good about finishing there? 7 or 8 wins for the year. I think we need better than that. We (the supporters) deserve better. Finishing 7-10th is satisfactory.

Of course we can go backwards...but are we going to.....NO!

Let's just all pray that we make the top 8, because I don't want to loose any more hair.

Mitch Clark was basically our only main target last year , with Dawes beside him we should be much better . We lost many games in the last quarter in 2012. I think having Toumpas , Viney and Dawes in our team will make a huge difference. These 3 know how to play football. I think there are a handfull of players who really need to stand up for us to finish in the 8, Sylvia , Trengove , blease , watts, Howe , McKenzie, jamar, Tapscott. Players like grimes, Clark, Jones, McDonald, Dawes I think we know what we will get. . Mostly we need goals from our midfield, Viney, Jones, Toumpas, Trengove are key to us. Be the next no1 midfield in the AFL ! All highly skilled high draft picks, get it down to our forwards Clark, Dawes Hogan. Finish 7th,beat Collingwood on QB . Another year without finals will suck!

If we finish outside the 8 I would consider it a disappointing year

Nah, we need wins early in the season, I think there are better players to choose.
