  1. Soidee I'm with you, I'm with you as 35 year supporter of the club and love the game but I'm struggling. My son refuses to come the footy with me and won't wear his MFC jumper because everyone laughs at him. But hey the powers to be don't care about us as long as GWS prospers and keeps the 7632 supporters happy......we are irrelevant nowadays.

    Wagga Wagga Demons in 5 year time.......that's my call!!

  2. Anyone who watched the A League game tonight with the Western Sydney Wanderers must agree. First season they made the grand final and tonight they had a sellout 18000 supporters who are incredibly passionate.

    GWS will be a force in a few years time but the AFL has missed this golden opportunity to convert Sydney people to become AFL supporters. The Wanderers will be the biggest club in the A League very soon.

    The harder it is for the GWS to succeed, the more draft picks and financial support they will receive while clubs like ours, Bulldogs and Nth Melbourne will be left to pick up the scraps!

  3. Is it just me or is the GWS recruiting team with Stephen Silvagni a butch of amateur hour hacks!

    They use 2 number one draft picks on key position forwards in Patton and Boyd to slot in with an all Australian forward in Jeremy Cameron...then they select Cameron McCarthey with pick 14 who is also a KPF.

    They have 2 number one draft pick midfielders in $cully and Whitfield and they use pick 2 on Kelly who plays the same role.

    Most of the ball is in their defence....why wouldn't you look at Sharenberg and key backmen in the draft.

    It annoys me as we get crucified for needing a "chop out" from the AFL for finances this year...but no one cares how much $$$ gets sent to GWS or how many extra priority draft picks they keep getting.

  4. Purely from a marketing perspective, I'm sure Demetriou would love Howe in GWS colours taking mark of the year. Offering Howe plus pick 9 for Shiel would be an option they would look at plus they have surplus midfielders on their list.....wishful thinking I know but the Dees are on a roll at the moment!

  5. Interesting tonight on 3aw (before Roos comments) Caroline Wilson said she had not given up on the idea of Roos endeing up at MFC. She also said that Leigh Tudor was definitely moving back to Melbourne but hadn't heard where he was off to.

    My only fear is that West Coast hasn't decided on their coach for 2014 and they have a bigger cheque book than us!

  6. He reminds me of a Luke Hodge but without the hard ball appetite.

    Aisle for me but I worry about the SA go home factor.

    Is it me or does everyone feel the same...whoever we draft will underdevelop into a nothing player and players picked later will become star
