If Voss wasn't a legend of their club and was coaching a Victorian team he would be out the door, after winning the NAB cup they would be expecting to play finals, right now they look bottom four.

North Melbourne next week will be a very good match for them, really like some of the football north are playing this year so will be interesting to see how they stack up against each other

Struggle city down at the crows, wonder how big an impact bailey being suspended is having on them

And they lose their first 3 draft picks again this year correct?

To be honest i thought they were a toss of the coin with GWS for the wooden spoon, it's always a nice surprise to see a team that has struggled go well, I suppose the biggest positive for us is that it shows how quickly things can come good, fingers crossed it's our turn next

Would love Fyfe but what would it take/we be willing to give up to make it happen?

Will they play finals this year or not quite there yet? would be interested to see them play Geelong or Hawthorn

Any of the three would be a great pickup, with the forward line we have if we improve our midfield we then take the pressure off the backs and give dawes clark and hogan great supply and we are suddently a very different team

we have done really well with this draft in my opinion, Toumpas shows class but needs time, viney is going to be a star, Hogan looks a ready made star, kent looks fantastic, jones and terlich both look like very solid AFL players also critics of Toumpas need to be more paitent, wouldn't be at all surprised if he ends up being the best of all those draftee's

Was just a brainstorm, prestia is a dees supporter so would love if we could get him somehow, and dixon has been pretty impressive is all.. on top of that we are useless at developing draft picks anyways

The thing i find the most pleasing about casey is when the senior players come back to casey they seem to play really well get their confidence right up and play well when they are recalled, it's exactly what you want from your reserves

How's Toumpas going?

Maybe i jumped the gun a little with the whole jumping off a bridge thing, glad to hear he is okay, anyone got the scores?

So this, plus the fact it was pre season and not during the season plus the possibility jack didn't know, would that be enough to avoid the worst of the possible charges?

Proceeds to nearest bridge and jumps off

It will be very interesting to see where this all ends, It seems the AFL is out to get us

I mean really if a doctor says to you, you need to take these pills to get over your flu, you would take them without needing to do 6 hours of research on the medication, i'm sure that was 100% the case with these players before this whole situation became a big issue, doc says to trengove, here is some cream that might help your foot abit, cheers mate. You're right they are technically adults but i really hope some consideration is made to the fact that alot of these players are young, probably not even considering these drugs might not be wrong and just trusting an employee of the club they were drafted to, to do the right thing by them.

Good look at part of the future forward combo with dawes and hogan together

On another note, how impressive has Charlie Dixon been this year! if we get pick 1 this year i think we should offer it to gold coast for him and dion prestia personally

The only thing that's funnier than the way he is playing is the fact that GWS actually thought he was worth the money haha

That's a good theory on their part, but it's really not fair i mean if an AFL clubs doctor asks a kid to take something because it will help them it's hard to see them saying no, as much as it may not make a difference in this case as far as i am concerned this ultimately rests on the doctor and dank if infact something illegal has taken place at all at Melbourne.

I thought Neeld had totally lost the players during the Essendon game, but since the players seem to have really backed him in all of the interviews i have seen, maybe the hole we are in is just deeper than the other teams have been so it's unfair to compare them?

I agree, at his best, absolutely but the question is, how do we help him recapture that form

Thanks mate, i am feeling much better about things, it's abit hard not to be concerned with the AFL looking like it will take any excuse it can get to destroy the club.

Most of what used to be the next AFL superpower is still there only add clark, dawes, viney and toumpas to it, all of this years draft picks look really good which is a very welcome change and then HOGAN! personally i think we have as much upside as gold coast, just not sure how we will go developing it.
