Whatever the case it's great to see we have drafted some quality, I was getting sick of seeing most other clubs getting good players at both ends of the draft whilst we struggled to get anything good with high picks. The choice of JKH was inspired and this kid will be a star, although I'm not sure where he will finish up playing, he can just about play anywhere, forward or back or midfield. Tyson, Salem and JKH, then throw in Vince, Cross, Michie and Riley and you have 5 long term and 2 teachers all in the one draft. Of course you have a few young kids as well, Hunt, King and Harmes; you have to wonder where we'd be if Roos, Taylor and Viney had had the opportunity to do this last year and the year before.

In all the excitement Jack Viney is slipping under the Radar, along with Nathan Jones.

I guess the best thing to come out of all this is that we now know we don't have to finish last to build a side, we now have people in place to pick good talent all the way through the draft and others in place to develop them. Dom would have been a good player even in our old system but now he will be an A grade player because of our excellent coaching panel.

Once his short game improves a bit he will be a complete player, that will come and it will improve those around him. Wow, we've got a player in Dom Tyson.

Quality young man who will be a very good player for us, some of his ball handling is exceptional and if he's got a bit of confidence in his ability then all the better. Just on Bob Murphy, it surprised me to see him run away from JKH I didn't realise that Murph was that quick.

Dom has a great left foot but it let's him down a bit when he has to kick under 30mtrs; when he has a ping at goal from outside 50 you can almost back it in.

I've tried to respond to this thread many times but it's been too hard, so I haven't but I join in all those that express their sorrow at two shed's passing. It's a horrible disease and as you get older you find it affects your family, your friends and those that you know on a casual basis, every time you have to take your loved one to the doctor you fear the worst and hope for the best. Enjoy your life it's only temporary and somewhat fleeting.

Welcome aboard tbf, not the same level of personal insult here that there was there. Surprised it took you so long.

I rarely venture over here and only did by mistake today when a thread I wanted to read redirected me to the general board; now I can see why. I thought I'd been transported to Demonology and nearly had my own meltdown. Before you throw a tizz Hardtack that was a joke but not meant trivialise Japan, the people of Japan or any visitors to Japan. Furthermore it was in no way intended to be racist and nothing you can conjure up in your mind will alter that. I think I will go back to the non confrontational Footy board now.

I got an email from the club today part of which follows. As our entire playing and coaching list will be there, it is an important night for the club and we are seeking to get 46 Blazer Sponsors at $750 to assist us in staging the evening. Each Blazer sponsor will receive a unique signed photo of our young captains Jack Grimes & Jack Trengove being presented with their Blazer by Ron Barassi in recognition of your support. You will also be recognised throughout the night on our in room screens. Another good idea as I have no doubt the entire 46 will be snapped up. This is for the Commencement Dinner 14th March

I would imagine that the club has told him to get on the front foot and promote the new and much harder line being taken at Melbourne. We have had a dreadful year and there are plenty of reasons why members won't re sign for 2012 and I would imagine that the rhetoric is as much to encourage them to as it is to show the Footy World we mean business.

There's nothing to say that all those players wouldn't get a game every week under Neeld, it's just that they would have to earn it and be fit enoough to warrant it. I have no doubt that we have been underdeveloped for years and whilst we've had some very skilled players over time they've never been pushed to the required limit hence our lack of success.

He's a beauty, I always love the players that are determined to succeed and he will leave nothing back in the changeroom; always give 100%.

Bananas 2 Euro 99 per kilo in Paris. Rasberries, the same ones we get in Melbourne 3 Euro 95 compared to $15.99 in Melbourne. 1 Litre San Pellegrino .97 Euro compared to $4 in Melbourne.

What do you base that on? Cook is playing Casey Seconds and in fact over the last two weeks hasn't played and isn't on the injury list, not sure what's going on there. Someone said he's injured as he didn't play at Casey last week; well if he is then why isn't he on our injured list? Butcher is playing AFL and has a bag of 6 to his name so where's the comparison?

He'd stand more of a chance of leading the Labor Party; someone has to and the job's free at the moment.

Hi I'm Robbie I don't believe you, no one could love (or even like) Julia. As for Carbon Dioxide Bob, you and Julia expel more than any factory or power plant, so can we tax you both out of existence?

Just got back from watching the finish of the race great effort Cadel and a great reception. I got a good photo but I'm not sure how to post it. Plenty of Aussies here; no flags available but plenty of green and gold around.

I will watch him ride in to Paris tomorrow and wave a flag on behalf of all those that care. Well done Cadel it's about bloody time.

What is the opposite to the MFCSS? Is it those that blindly believe what the club tells even when their own eyes tell them it's not true? How long does it take for the non MFCSS to wake up to the fact that all is not well and how long does it take before these same supporters start to realise that the same problems recur year after years FD after FD? How long will it take before they realise that there is an imbedded culture in the club that will never change and that the MFCSS are not really delusional after all?
