Didn't see the game Redleg but I did see Blasé kick 5 one day and get labelled a champ.

Let's just wait and see before we hand out the accolades.

He played well in a side that thumped the opposition, that's easier to do than play well in a team that's struggling. I've seen him play plenty of ordinary games.

Offer him up to the Hawks with pick 3 for Roughy and offer Roughy $1m per year for 6 years.

Why were the white westerners beheaded in the first place?

It wasn't because the West stated that they were going to act was it? Let's get the story right, this is s chicken egg scenario.

Would you be happy if they went on their merry way, slaughtering all those that had a different religion or disagreed with their barbaric ideals?

Perhaps you would recommend diplomacy and maybe you'd like to take part in a delegation with the greens to visit and thrash out the problems. Or should we just wait until they've killed every single person that disagrees with them.

You seem to think this is just a ploy by politicians when it is a real and genuine threat. This servers two purposes, it stops their planned murder of some innocent bystander and takes these idiots off the street.

There was a teenager who left here, went overseas and blew himself up in a Bagdad market, do you think that was planned by the half wits in Canberra?

Don't bother replying I think I already know your answer.

you victim.

You volunteering?

:Lucky they raided 800 homes to stop the 17 year old cutting alll our heads off.

We're safe.

Thanks Tone

The life they saved may have been yours.

So the theory is that Ricciuto was instrumental in Sanderson getting the chop and his best friend Goodwin was over in Adelaide talking to the club.

Ricciuto owns a pub in Adelaide with Walker, Dangerfield and Sloane and several players including Walker were critical of the coach in their exit interviews.

What does this tell you; well I'd say that Goodwin will be coach and we haven't got a chance with any of the players.

Back to the drawing board.

So far we have Goodwn, Dew and Thompson as options, or certainties, for the Crows with maybe Lyon or McKenna thrown in to the mix and it hasn't even been 24 hours since Sando got dumped.

"Brenton is a quality person and accomplished coach, but recent weeks have unearthed a need for change," Chapman said.

"Both parties have realised they have different perspectives on where we are at as a footy team.

Sounds like the players have decided, once again, they don't like the coach.

Blight had the best idea, he got rid of the troublemakers before they could get rid of him.

Maybe a new name in the succession plan?

I will be happy if either Toumpas or Trengove make the jump back to AFL.

VFL can be a lonely place. Plenty of work to do for both lads.

But.. Roos is the right man for the job.

If Roos can't get them back in the seniors then no one can.

Yes but will they make the jump back at Melbourne; there has been talk in the papers that one or both may be traded.

Yeah but mostly as the away side.

Our home games included West Coast, Gold Coast, Sydney, Bulldogs, North, GWS, Brisbane (Docklands) with NT games against Freo & Port. Our only real "money" games were Collingwood and Geelong.

I think we make a fair amount out of the NT games and we had reasonable crowds early on for home games.

I think if you look back at it our game attendances were quite good early in the year.

Might be a better player in a better side but I think he's gone as far as he can at Melbourne.

What can you say, we were bad they were good, we've got a long, long way to go, they are almost there.

Their attack on the ball was sensational tonight, I had hoped that Howe might turn out to be our version of Fyfe but that's not going to happen.

We are still a bottom 4 side, simple as that.

One of the problems we have is that the players who have the worst disposal, are the ones who win the most possessions, hence the goal/turnover stat.

Christian Salem 5 0 5 3 0 0 0 2 0 0 32 3Lynden Dunn 4 3 7 1 0 0 1 1 0 0 22 3Max Gawn 2 5 7 3 12 0 3 1 0 0 32 3Dean Kent 5 2 7 0 0 0 0 2 1 0 33 6Colin Garland 6 2 8 2 0 0 1 6 0 0 49 Moribito has 5 for less than a qytr

Look at the quality that he has around him and then look at us.

We look very ordinary tonight.

I'm afraid that there are to many below the standard required and too many that just don't realise how desperate you have to be to win games. There are some who are too easily pushed off the ball and seem to be happy to be out of the contest.

Dom Tyson must work on his disposal or he will just be an average footballer. Dawes must hold on to his marks. There are so many problems that it will take 3 to 4 draft periods before we are competitive.

AA CHF the year we drafted him.

Toump could have used the same belief in him as Salem is getting. He got dropped after Weagles game with 17 touches??? Comes in as emergency v Richmond and gets 15 touches while Salem has 8?? Maybe a couple more games in the firsts and he wouldn't be struggling with his confidence in the 2's like he is now. Wondering how he gets dropped and others have faith shown in them. One rule for him and another for Salem by the looks of it.

I don't think it comes down to touches with Roos, it's more about doing the things they are supposed to do, like defensive efforts and two way running etc.

Gisberts managed to get two rising stars and a couple of 26 possession games, but he just didn't seem to be able to do the team oriented work.

Yes, clearly, otherwise he'd have been omitted on those numbers weeks ago.

"Which intangibles?" is the million dollar question...

I get the feeling that it will click for Salem and he will start to get the numbers we expect of him. Sometimes it's just a matter of getting used to the pace and learning where to be.

Roos doesn't tinker much with the team. You would think an in form Tapscott could push ahead of McKenzie. even a fit Blease can't get an emergency spot.

Looks like an honest but slow team.

i thought that JKH would be a chance this week after his good form last week in the VFL.

And there are also posters who will happily slam a player if they postpone contract talks and tell all and sundry that we don't need them on our list to make themselves feel better when they inevitably leave.

I'm not saying I'm saying we keep him as I'm still on the fence, but it goes both ways on here. While he has his deficiencies we need to remember that, yes, he can play at an AA level and that decent tall backmen don't grow on trees. Just ask the Dogs, Saints and Blues for example.

To me it's the uncertainty that he has created that's the problem. The club needs unity at the moment, perhaps more than ever and having one of the leaders showing publicly that he's not certain of the direction of the club is undermining the recovery process we are going through.

We need all at the club pulling in the same direction and we certainly don't need this uncertainty, stay, go, whatever just do it.

Jesse, in his presser flagged the idea of coming back via vfl in an orderly manner and hopefully on the paddock before the eos.

Not sure why you wouldnt play one of your greatest assets if fit

The last thing you would want to do is subject him to Casey, get him fit and play him as a sub in a few games.

Didn't this guy say JKH's contract extension was also signed off and awaiting imminent announcement... 3 months back?

Probably the previous school holidays.
