I heard a rumour yesterday that montagna is linked with Dees.

To be honest not sure how I'd feel about this. I suppose if it was for a 2nd round pick it'd be ok.

Go get em Roosy.

I hope he sticks right up the swans!

I don't think you just give away coaching appointments to heal rifts of the past.........He has been appointed by the club for football reasons I would say....

Your prob right, and maybe I've turned sinister.

I do though think it's quite coincidental - they offer a position to Junior which is knocked back, then soon after Miller is appointed. It's like they either want to fix wrongs of the past, or to at least have someone with Dees history on the coaching staff (which could be made up of predominately ex Swans).

Whoever we pick a number will be solidly built 6 footers who run hard and crash in.

Like Wines?

I don't mind this appointment of Miller as I always rated his endevour at the contest when he played - hopefully he'll rub some of that onto the boys.

I don't know if anyone else thought this (it may be just me) but is his appointment as a coach the clubs way of trying to mend the wrongs of the past - Unfortunately Junior turned them down, so next up Miller?

I read somewhere that Brisbane is interested in Martin, which (if true) I'm shocked about given the way Fev burnt their club and culture.

C'mon peeps, the sky's not falling in. Relax, Roos has got this.

Seven news just said Cross met with Blues today.

Anyone know what the status is on Watts signing?

With all the other Clubs and media attention focused on Adams and Martin, maybe we should quietly arranging a trade for Swallow? I would be happy to see him as part of our midfield (longtime- term) and Cross (short- term).

Stealth, I like your thinking....

Are you guys talking about Pokemon..?

Haha, nah it's a book by Raymond Feist called The Magician. Good read if your into science fiction.

Sensible move to me.

There are evil people out there that may try to convert her to Collingwood.

As a good Dad you need to get in first and protect her future.

You should also get a few spare membership application for the MFC for when she gets older and starts to bring boys home.

Haha, I'll kindly pass them the membership forms before I chase them out of the house with my shotgun

Much to the disappointment of my wife, I signed up my 2.5 yr old daughter straight after Roos was appointed.

I figure, if Roos can put his neck on the line then so can I....

Go Dees!!!

Too much risk IMO, especially given our clubs fragile culture.

Poor ol' Riv. His legs look very proppy as he jogs off the ground.

Rivs won't be happy now, just been subbed off.

Geez, Geelong are impressive when they turn it on - what a quarter!

Its a bit of a worry that we are looking at older players that have been delisted by their current clubs as this is what happened last trade season.

Some of us keep saying in Roos we trust, I think we said this about Neeld and possibly Bailey too.

The difference this time is that Roos knows what he is doing and this does give me confidence.

I agree, but as others have mentioned above - if we can get him for nothing then it's a win win for all parties.

I have heard of it but never read it. Will definitely check it out as need a new series to delve into.

My favourite character in the Riftwar series is Nakor.

Definitely worth getting into.

Been a year or so since I read the series, I can't remember Nakor - the name sounds Tsurani though??

My favorites were Tomas (pure power) and Meecham (for stealth)!

I think I have worn out a couple of copies of Magician over the years as I like to go through the series every so often. It easy to do because the books at last count were up to 30 different novel centred around a young boy from Crydee.

Haha, yeah I loved them too.

Have you read the Terry Goodkind series The Sword of Truth? IMO it is the best I've read - big call I know, but I reckon better than The Magician

Yes there is that. But its just those that talk like it wasn't a conspiracy or a theory that puzzle me.

Good book The Magician, read it a number of times.

Thank the cosmos that Royal is gone!!! Best news all year.

Oh c'mon, surely Schwab and Neeld going were pretty good news

Omg, I have such a man crush.

Excuse my ignorance if wrong...but doesn't that mean Magner has to be upgraded off the rookie list as he's been on it for 2 yrs already?

Connors this morning on SEN stated he would think Watts would be staying at Melbourne.

Yeah I heard that.

He kept saying how "loyal he is to Melbourne" and he believes he'll be in our colours next year.

I really rate kent, I believe he is going to be an awesome long term player for us.
