Ted Lasso

is that a reflection of how well craig is coaching, or how bad Neeld really was? hard to say

I just think he will be a goal kicking wingman type, obviously abit quicker than Bruce but i am hoping he will be the same sort of consistant player, at one point Bruce was talked about as a possibility for the brownlow as was Johnstone, who toumpas reminds me quite abit of

I personally think he is going to be a very VERY good player, he needs time and is effectively a first year player given his injuries but i think in 2-3 years he will be the next cameron Bruce

Highly unlikely, we need a long term coaching project to guide us through the most important rebuild in the clubs history, the key to this working is total club stability which would be impossible with coaches chopping and changing, PJ will appoint an experienced coach who is willing to see us through at least the next three years and back into being finals contenders

Looking more and more like Woosha and Voss will be staying on, have no idea of the Hird situation but even if he is moved on i doubt they could afford bomba and Roos

Yeah pretty much, we are much better off in terms of key position players, our midfield wouldn't be as good but i am sure we will adress that through trading and free agents.

Talented young mid/half back, far too good to be rotting in the reserves up in Sydney but i suppose that's what so many first round picks does to you. Great kid, leadership potential, and would most likely get him for very little. anyone interested?

Defenders nightmare, 1 on 1 in the forward 50 with clark, dawes, hogan, howe, watts, fitz and the ball coming in fast from Toumpas, watts or Aish remember in 2011 we won 8 games, i'd like to think our side with the right coach/plan and a fit core group could do that again.

that sort of game style suits the list we are building with quality tall forwards

I think PJ just wants to know exactly what's on the table before they start making serious considerations if Roos doesn't accept in the meantime, would think during the selection process the quality of blokes like Williams and Eade as coaches and just the records over a long period of time would get them over the line ahead of Laidley, Knights and Ayres

you can kinda look at the pro's list and i think that makes the decision pretty easy Toumpas: *quick *elite skills *leader *already played senior footy *balanced out drafting viney well *considered by many to be nearly on par with whitfield *huge upside *Big game player ( just about best on in the SANFL gf the year before drafted ) Wines *tough inside mid *solid skills ( not fantastic by any measure *leader *ready to go * already had a more highly rated inside mid in Viney, plus N.jones *hard to judge the upside of these blokes, he is already good but he might not get drastically better. in summery imo we made the correct call, i think wines will be a very good player, but i think toumpas will be a better player in time, keep in mind wines is doing well in a much better midfield group, toumpas is in possibly the worst AFL team of all time so it's really unfair to say they are on level footing on that alone, but i would say the game toumpas played against Geelong was as good or better than anything Wines has produced this year. anyways just my opinion

we already have blease and barry, not really worth the effort

surely craig would be a better option

williams, eade, craig of roos, coach short list complete

Depressed as.

All good mate

Oh sorry i found what you are talking about, i actually quoted you but the person you're quoting and what they said came up on top of it, it's done it with the last few that you were quoting for me, i was just saying that i meant for this thread to include Jesse Hogan as a player on our list even though he technically isn't yet.

I wasn't aware of that either? haha Nah mate, just Demonfan26, although my name is Ben.

Yeah, it's not the end of the world, i'd be tempted to leave him in though, noone is beating down the door to get in and as long as craig sits him down and says it's okay, some very good players have done the same thing before i think he will be fine.

As they should!

I mean of the players currently associated with MFC who is the most important for now and for the future, that would include Jesse Hogan

I think as much as that his injuries would be too much of a concern for the club to offer him a longer deal

Would still be willing to bet on Roos coaching us next year, but i'd prefer choco

Voss and Worsfold look like staying on so that helps our chances, if he wants to coach

I tend to agree, it would send a huge message of faith to the entire list and be a huge boost, and if the club offers him a huge extension and he knocks it back right away we will have a better idea where we stand.
