Ted Lasso

we have more threads about players from other teams than we do players from MFC...

He will go to freo or meth coast and dominate now, sick of this go home factor stuff haha

He can try all he likes haha, he won't be a free agent and i reckon the next wayne carey has some trade value, Give us Nat Fyfe and Michael Barlow and he's yours.

I don't think Dawes will play in 2014 unfortunately.

I heard that James hird would be attending the meeting via Skype from overseas so i'm very interested to see what happens, i reckon the sooner the Bombers bin him the better, they're damaging their brand the longer they have him in charge.

Pretty keen to see Aiden Riley

I'm not totally against their existance either OD, I hate Brisbane and since Port beat them in the 2004 GF i have had a soft spot for them

Maybe a Should we rehire Mark Neeld thread while we're going.

What about Jimmy Toumpas vs Ollie WInes?

Watts is better than Nic Nat.

We also need a new logo

Peter Siddle is doing a vegetable diet and i'd say he is a pretty handy sportsmen, i think it changes person to person

I think Demonland is getting to you abit bud.

I absolutely agree, but it just sounded as though the physical symptoms were the major issue, i could be totally wrong

I understand the difference, no need for a stupid comment, i am just saying i think the issue could be something physically wrong, rather than a mental illness like most are suggesting.

Listening to Paul Roos this morning it sounds like the issue could be more medical related than mental illness, or maybe i misheard him.

Absolutely, screams of desperation to me.

I suppose the difference is the cattle is already much better than last year, and the game plan isn't terrible, we have structure for the first time in 8 years.

Scully has been one of the more disappointing number 1 picks i have seen

there is no guarantee Martin would have been any good if he was developed by our previous football department, and on the same not Trengove could have been killing it at the tigers

Most players will recodnise the investment you're putting into them and want to repay the faith i think, also Dunstan is from SA Salem is from Vic

If we took Dunstan at pick 9 the entire footy world would have thought Pendo was back, i'm happy to say i think Salem will be a better player very quickly, but that's just my opinion

As Roosy has said this week, the scoreboard, wins and Losses don't matter so much, it's about nailing down the plan, structure and rules of the team, building confidence and re-learning what's required to be an AFL footballer for the best part of 8 years losing has been accepted and honourable losses were almost treated as wins, there is a fair bit of mental scarring that needs to be fixed before we're ever going to move forward, especially blokes like Watts and Trenners who had the weight of the world put on their shoulders far too young.

The compo is the biggest thing for me, we have the backs to cover if Chip leaves i think, but we look like a bottom 2 side just now simply because we have no scoring power, if we finish last, get a PP for another shocking year and lose chip we could potentially end up with Picks 1,2 and 3, imagine the Dom Tyson like trades Roos could work with that.

Terls wouldn't get a run with a top 8 side imo, he is in the best 22 now because he is the best we have but i can't see him playing a huge role when we start to seriously improve
