    I'll put my hand up to wanting Watts gone, 8 years of not much made that a justified thought, even Roos shopped him around. So what was so different to this year from last? As for us Demonlanders Jumbo was the most vocal for persisting with him. How about a big hello to 17 other clubs that could of got him for possibly a mid - late first rounder.
  2. Is Hogan staying? The sooner we know the better, I don't want to hear about "waiting for the CBA", it's not as if he won't be looked after.
  3. Same reason we have 2-3 threads leading up to a game, a game day thread, then 5-6 threads after each game discussing the same points over and over. Whats done my head in recently is the "long time listener, first time caller threads".
  4. Will be buying I will be getting a shirt and getting it personalised. I should be pretty safe north of the border....
  5. One Travis Cloke is out of contract freeing up a lazy 800.
  6. We can start with no more gifting of games to anyone.
  7. I think the club off field has done just that, it's time for some of the so called senior players to follow suit.
  8. Cloke held out and scored a massive 4-5 year deal which ends this season. Other than that 0.
  9. 200k a year is massive unders.
  10. Wonder which/how many current players still think that not turning up to play against Essendon and Carlton was a good idea?
  11. 1.4 million for the first 5 years 1 million for the following 3 = 10 million over 8 years. He's 22 next year, that will take him up until he's 30.
  12. Where did the 700k figure come from? Still trying to work out which word for censored.
  13. The coaches have to be really strong with regards to the gifting of games. Grimes copped it last year, Watts was introduced to the concept, as long as it's consistent.
  14. Who is Jimmy Toumpas. Toumpas for 500.
  15. Just signed two year extension....
  16. And it coincides with a year that three overpaid footballers collectively worth about 1.2 million coming out of contract. We we simply can not [censored] this up. That fact we were proactive last year was a good sign but as many have alluded to already we must win more games. 10 isn't a pass this year as we should have beaten Saints/Bombers/Blues last year. To win more games we must eliminate all passengers as the players are flat out of excuses.
  17. Was a massive fan of Cross but it's time to move on.
  18. I understand the players wanting to sue (I think they knew what they were doing but suing equates to money) but surely that makes the relationship with the club untenable. Very hard for players to return, well it would be in any other workplace.
  19. Tom McDonald was also getting big wraps in the first half of last year and his name was being thrown up as an early contender for AA, as his form dropped away so did the discussion surrounding him. Kidding myself about Jones at Hawthorn?
  20. Hogan got plenty of wraps last year for kicking 44 goals and being third for contested marks in his first season. If Jones was at Hawthorn he would be regarded as solid contributor in a team full of guns.
  21. I'd take Jones. Jones game has improved where as Cotchins has stalled. Plus I believe Cotchin has had better support around him. Jones for me. Delidio is another story.
  22. One thing that has gone against Cotchin is his failure (and his teams) to turn up in finals. Would love to see Jones play in one either this year or next, that could well change the way he is viewed by the football public.
  23. Jones game went to a new level two years ago under Roos/Stone. His disposal and awareness improved, he started to think his way through situations and take the better option rather than barge his way 2-3 tacklers. As good as he is and as much as we love him he's not in the same class as Hodge/Bartell/Pendles etc.
  24. Have you seen the one of Uma Thurman doing the rounds on FB. "Uma killed Bill..."
  25. Yes. Leigh Mathews said before the 2004 GF an injured Johno Brown is still better than the next best available.
