Is Jess Trengove available? Or possibly Ellie McKenzie

I've thought that Clarkson would be good for 2015 and to retain Craig for next year, however, I doubt Craig would commit as a caretaker Senior Coach for a full year. I think he'd either want a decent run as Senior Coach for at least a few years or to remain in a Sports Science role. I like the idea of Craig with assistants the ilk of Adam Simpson, Cameron Ling, James MacDonald and Lenny Hayes.

Unless Jack wants to put himself at the mercy of the draft the MFC can choose whether we agree to a trade. This is good advertising to get the best trade and a renewed board and FD could entice him to stay. He's had a pretty tough run since we drafted him and looks like he needs a fresh start.

I care that our players are backed and encouraged to challenge a poor decision. This may have been the case with Clisby, where it was his decision, but it seems that we are much more passive than other clubs in standing up for our players.

To me this strikes at why we dont stand for anything - we are pragmatic when we need to be uncomprimising when it comes to values and principles. How many champion teams make it through being pragmatic? They make it by setting elite standards and being uncompromising. When challenged they stand up and fight. We sit wearing velvet jackets drinking pims contemplating what a pragmatic person would do while the competition passes by.

Imagine if Neeld ends up at Brisbane as an assistant.

Im disappointed that we didnt appeal. There is alot to be said for principle and values and if we want to build a strong culture then we cannot accept having players suspended on rubbish charges.

Todd blessed Jack with biologically advanced genetics. It is blasphemous to attribute Jacks will for the contest on learned behavior.Todd needs to put up and spreas his seed for future F/S picks

I agree that we will keep him next year, and also think that the reason he has been played at casey is to develop the weaker aspects of his game, e.g. defensive attributes. He doesnt have the talent to be an offensive weapon but by developing him as a tagger and utilising his ability to win ball he could be quite a good player. Upgrading him could be a reward for his progress, indicating if he keeps working he wipl have a contract next year, while also acknowledging he still has improvement in the magoos. This can only be a good thing for seveloping our list.

Riht now we need a Watts playing with confidence to impose himself on games. I would be reluctant to trade him for a talented 18 y/old. Id target hardened midfielders with 1-2 seasons left to support our developing midfield. A Sewell or Black.

While it was crucial the debt was cleared it was done by selling good will without the expected onfield improvements. Had the club been ran competently over the past 5 years we would not been in the situation we find ourselves.

Perhaps this is what the Mayans predicted with their calendar finished? Lordweaver - does the good book offer any guidance on our predicament?

I reckon Golden Wok Dim Sims could be a winnet

We can develop said leaders too, e.g. Trenners/Grimes, Garland, N Jones. I think for us we will acquire leadership but also develop leaders within.
