Tell them to [censored] off

Looks like sales are down marginally and they want to boost profitability. This doesn't tell us what the impact is to their Australian operations and whether it will impact on marketing budgets locally.

I reckon we will have Jaguar for another year and beyond this will depend on our membership, on-field performance and to a lesser extent how many of our members buy a new Jag. When we consider AHG it was always about them building some brand awareness. Infiniti was the result of them exiting the Australian market. Jaguar and Melbourne Football Club are a good marriage, we just need to make sure 2019 is an aberration and that they see us as a side that will regularly feature in September while building into a powerhouse club.

I'm tired of reading these articles which are full of nothing but words.

Words

We did but when Zac met Goody, Zac thought this guy is stubborn. He also thought Melbourne's captains were a joke.

No such thing anymore OD, minimum is like $4.50 these days.

I reckon an important part of his lack of strength was a drop in confidence but does need to build his strength.

Words.... In seriousness, Oscar Mac comes across as a ripping bloke. Hope he has a massive season and slots in as a regular in our backline.

I reckon it would be awesome for us to trade pick 3 for a second round pick and proclaim it is a sign that we will take risks and resort to unconventional means to improve.

It's Jack Watts fault. Everything was fine before he joined them.

Did he mention anything about Goody being stubborn?

Couldn't agree more, I reckon we; 1. Only recruit d!ckheads with a history of recurring injury. 2. Initiate a covert off site 'supplements' program. 3. Find ways to pay players outside of the salary cap without the knowledge or approval from the AFL. 4. Adopt list management, game style and match day tactics based on advise of Demonland.

I reckon we habdle the trade period exceptionally well. We are clear about what we want and then work with the other 17 clubs to achieve it. While not as exciting as the Geelong and Essendon posturing we get things done and are fair to deal with.

This is a bit simplistic to assume that Campo isn't good enough for us just because he was let go by Adelaide. As Lord Nev pointed out, a new coach usually picks their Senior Assistant. Also, as far as we know Campo may have wanted a fresh start or might already have a role lined up or it might simply be the club seeing the need for change to help rejuvenate the club and it's culture.

It's all just words, counts for nothing on the field 'flossy flossy' Buckanan.

I think you need to get with the program

I don't think pick 3 is enough for Tim Kelly. If you could be guaranteed to get a player as good as Kelly in the draft you would take him at pick 3 in a heartbeat, even knowing that you would need to invest in his development for 3-4 years before he comes into his prime.

A one trick pony is better than a zero trick pony

The most disturbing part of this is that you follow Ricky Nixon on twitter.

The teacher role doesn't need to be a single player, it can simply be having understanding of game style, awareness of what is happening on the field and good communication across all lines. This will probably come through our core group of under 25 y/old players.

The club have taken on board feedback from Demonland and decided that our remaining two coaching positions will be virtual roles filled by posts from demonland these will encompass list management, strategy and match day tactics. Strap in for the ride...

This is a good pickup by GCS and a great move by Ellis. GCS are better off targeting 4-5 mature players who can win their position on field, provide leadership on their line and help develop culture, rather than go for superstar players. If we consider the cost of a mature player who can break even in their position it would be around $300k. If a superstar costs $1.2 - 1.5 million a season and a player like Ellis costs $600k, then you can afford 3-4 Ellis's for the same TPP as a single superstar. Taking this approach the GCS can use the draft to develop their own superstars or trade in once they have their culture, game style and on field performances in order.

Charlie Spargo will be 10 x the player Jamie Elliot is, that is unless Elliot accepts our offer.

We didn't want him anyway, a poor mans Charlie Spargo.
