Pipefitter

Put in a stinker today. Looks like he was hungover or something. Was outmarked one on one constantly, poor awareness and leadership. The fire in the belly wasnt there. He didnt look too upset about his misfortunes. I guess its easy to get used to tho when we've one 5 games in the last year and a bit including pre season.

Do we even have a half forward line?

Morton - Like most of our draftees last few years is light, but that changes quickly. look at dunn now. Hes gonna be GOOD. Sylvias first quarter - work in close was top notch, but was then moved to the forward line? Puzzled. Carroll - He was on fire today.

Is Jamie Shanahan the answer to our problems?

Check the ins and outs thread for my 2 cents on this...

Guys, we gotta stop just blindly saying oh how could you drop moloney, why OH WHY, he tried so hard etc etc. I love the guy but he's direct opponent on the day was chance bateman, which most of you dont realise seeing he was NOWHERE near him at any stage of the day, and you might want to compare the stats. Bailey is sticking by playing FIT players. Rivers hasnt played for a year, let him have a few weeks to get up. Theres a difference between fitness and match fitness. He'll be back before we know it. Its not round 22, theres no need to be chucking in half fit players for no reason. One thing to remember guys is that although most have us and the media have thrown melbournes finals hopes in the bin, and rightly so, im pretty sure the dees havent consigned to this fact and will be continuing to follow "Baileys Master Plan" to be up and running in the 2nd half of the season, not out of the gates and falling in a heap. Chin up guys, lets see how the selected players respond this week!

Id give my left nut to have him in our colours.

Is beyond me. St. Kilda got scheider and dempster off them for nothing. Im sure we could have got something of value.

Dont forget troy simmonds.

Frawley, would love some improvement but i think its a few years yet. But i reckon it will be worth the wait.

Ill give it a crack. i have a certificate III in Warehouse & Transport distribution so i believe im fully qualified. I like money and i also like the dees.

Hey. If this paranoia wins us a flag i wont care ha

Have they released any details on our games?

Thanks for pointing out this site. Im ordering round 20, 1992 when we beat collingwood at victoria park by 9 points. Anyone know of any good matches where jakovich kicks ass? Love to try to find it on there...

I really dont think he will. I dont think its a fitness issue that he stops play everytime he recieves it. Doesnt know the meaning of play on, then he gets a cheap possession by kicking it safely to someone in a similar position to him. Prove me wrong col but im not basing any hopes on his shoulders.

Im not too concerned. Im pretty sure he would have a long standing establishment of recruiters underneath him to keep the process moving along fine.

that was AWESOME! need to see more of that. Threw him off like a piece of paper.

Unless we somehow draft Dean cox or something we are going to be struggling in the ruck division for years to come after Jeff white has left us. We have been blessed to have two great career ruckman in Jim stynes and Jeff white. Now we may not be so lucky. Should have tanked to get kruezer haha.

Yeah definete big call. If he does all good in the NAB cup i would expect he would line up on the bench. Use Paul Johnson as either defender or forward.

I think it will be hard for benny now. i mean wasnt aker supposed to be coming back full of fire and fully fit after 8 months or so out of the game. Hasnt worked for him. He just hasnt looked in touch at all.

Sorry, i thought geelong won everything this year. They obviously didnt.

Didnt geelong win the NAB cup last year?

James Frawley will be our best defender in a few years time. Has the confidence to take on opposition running out of defense. Smart, Tall, eventually stronger.

In my opinion we wont be seeing much more of him, and he will be delisted at the end of the year. Its a shame, and a waste of talent, but the young man has been ravaged by OP and we may have seen the last of Beamer in full flight.
