If we want to take the sort of strides we are aiming for in 2013 we simply can't drop these sorts of games, and i don't think we will Dees by 60+

I would hate to see the Bombers banned for two years, we need them for easy wins haha, but seriously it's all happening in the AFL at the moment, hopefully this saga will dominate the media enough to slip in a dees have no case to answer for headline and not kick up too much fuss! Hopefully both of these saga's blow over without too much damage.

Jack viney vs Oliver wines! pretty keen to see that match up to be honest, then a ten goal win to us would also be pretty nice can't see us losing to port at the G unless something goes horribly wrong.

Le Cras would be an awesome get for us, could see him playing quite alot through the middle of the ground for us!

I can't imagine any more than 5 of those players going anywhere, most will be resigned by the end of the year.

This point is exactly why they can't charge us, they failed to define the line between list management, experimentation and tanking or even define tanking in the first place, poor rule, poor definitions and the AFL is paying the price of looking like a joke for it,

I understand this could be seen as a silly question by some, but specifically what does the AFL mean by " bringing the game into disrepute"? because the other two charges live and die with dean bailey, can't see how they could even hope for those to hold up.

Totally agree, IF he can put it all together he can play at an All Australian level and be the difference in alot of close games which in recent years has been the difference between 14th and 8th for alot of teams.

What a disgrace! She clearly doesn't like the MFC, has really dodgey sources and doesn't take her career very seriously to post such garbage, when we are found to have no case to answer for i can't imagine her being stupid enough to publish anything negative again.

Out of curiosity, if and i believe when we are found to have no case to answer for what result would you deem acceptable? In terms of other teams being investigated, AFL possible compensating, wilson getting what she deserves?

No reason this shouldn't be used if this ends up in court, just makes the grey area with this more and more obvious.

May have been as simple as he didn't buy in fully to neelds plans or neeld and co didn't see him in their vision of the future, nothing against him or his habbits. I really hope he does show everyone what sorta talent he has at North, but i also hope pederson shows he was a good target for us as well.

The AFL will have no one to blame but themselves for whatever mess becomes of this, at the end of the day it comes back to a terrible priority pick rule.

The whole thing is an absolute joke, not sure how they plan to explain how so many teams didnt cop what we have. Terry Wallace admitted not doing anything in the box, by the standards they have set for us he should be in more trouble than Dean Bailey.

Grimes, trengove, N.jones, toumpas, viney, blease, howe, M.jones, byrnes, rodan, davey, bail, mckenzie, midfield already looks alot better than last year to me would really like to see grimes and nathan jones push for All Australian this year

Jack viney 107,000 that's a bargain if ever i saw one.

We have put up with enough off field troubles, i'm sure we will be better for having been through that and we can take a big stride towards becoming a contender next season! Up the Dees!

Everyone is entitled to their own opinion but some of these articles are very slanderous, particularly when we may well be found to have no case to answer for. It's really quite simple, they shouldn't open their mouths unless they know exactly what they're talking about. If we are found guilty we deserve whatever anyone gives us, until then they should on the most part be more respectful and at least be open minded to the idea that we may not be found guilty.

Full back line Dunn- Kicking and ability to play tall are huge assets! Frawley- Number one defender, at his best All Australian standard Nicholson- Huge endurance base, quick and showed great signs last year Half Back line Terlich- it's probably just me but this guy seems to have abit of heath shaw about him, good skills and rebounding McDonald - Probably the most exciting prospect on our list in my opinion! potential to be one of the comps best defenders for the next decade Watts- Expecting big strides from him this year, good skills and may have finally found his position

I really like the look of Dom Barry, skinny lad but looks to have some real class and poise about him,

HF. Byrnes Clark Howe FF. pederson dawes blease

Not much love for nicholson on here. B. Dunn Frawley Garland HB. watts mcdonald nicholson very dependant on opponent but i imagine players like toumpas and grimes might rotate through half back quite abit.

Could his injury be a blessing in disguise? Maybe less expectation being placed on him because of an injury in the pre season will help him to get some real confidence in his own game with a little bit less pressure?

Would we have the cap room to afford someone like that and still be safe if a couple of players really improve in the next 2 years and look for bigger contracts? paying dawes and co decent money would leave a dent

I think if he is open to a move the MFC would be insane not to inquire about him.
