Roger Mellie

Wing/high half forward/midfield. Has understandably been pushed out by Sheezel, Warlord and LDU with O'Sullivan and McKercher waiting in the wings.

The Age claiming Jai Simpkin wants out of the Kangas for more midfield time.

OK, Dawson then

A fair chunk of that probably went to Kozzie

I think you'll find his name is N. Jones.

No, you forfeit your victory for being a blurter!

Do you work for the AFL by any chance?

I recall we had a crack at Martin when he left the Suns. His interest in coming to us hovered around zero. I think that was fortunate.

I think CIP inferred he did have an interview and he was well behind the others, so he bowed out with appropriate flimsy excuse.

Hinkley would be perfect for Tassie! The AFL are dumb fools.

We landed Pert without going through the process. We need to go through the process.

I thought the highlights were made for Seagull fans to start with. Bizarre!

Straight from Demonland!

As a back-up, perhaps you could rig the vote so that any vote for Collingwood returns a 0 (just in case some poor, misguided fool makes a mistake.

Dees can't have helped with keeping you sane this year HT. All the very best with the gig and the treatment. It sounds like a great line-up with your crew. Wish I was in Sydney for it.

How could you go past the 21st Century Dance Club?

May looks like he's had enough but he might stick around for the pay packet.

I would have happily given Billings a farewell game if he wanted. It's not like his form doesn't warrant it. I suppose Sharp will be the sub after his ripping performance v the Hawks [censored]

Not sure you'll find too many posters satisfied with the midfield. Not sure why you even asked. My point or question is this: Why is Jones the target for all the midfield blame? We know that Radford was appointed first and Jones later and for other reasons as well. It's therefore reasonable to assume the seemingly anonymous Radford has seniority over the less experienced Jones. In my mind the problems with the midfield are one of cattle, strategy and skill level A - The cattle 1 - three bulls as starting mids (one shell-shocked, one un-fit, one wrecking ball) 2 - At least two of them are serial bombers without adequate endurance 3 - The game has gone past using bulls exclusively B - The strategy The fact that until recently we have persisted with this set-up (apart from utilising Kozzie plus others sparingly - Langdon etc) to me suggests it was a directive from Goodwin rather than the mid coaches - but that's a guess. In my mind, there's only so much you can do with that same set-up. Now we seem to be seeing and trialling a lot more players in the midfield thank [censored]! C - The skill level Clearly, a team-wide issue and looks to have seen Choco out the door We'll see how the midfield coaches fare when the new coach takes over but I think it's safe to say one or both will go. I just don't get why Radford escapes the scrutiny in the blame game.

Maybe you should look up who the midfield coach is when taking pot shots.

It's highly unlikely the club can afford to pay out both Goodie and Richardson in one year (Richardson also has a year left on his contract). They wouldn't have enough over to pay their replacements, although I'm sure some back-ending of contracts would occur.

Who was the other player to where gigantic shorts? Was it Eddie Betts? Maybe it's a tribute.

This has struck me as bizarre too, TD. The only plausible reason I could conjure and it's a stretch, is Green, for some reason might feel or believe others see his presidential stint to be a failure if Smith took over early. The problem with that theory is, no one's really sure when Smith is supposed to take over. I've read he's back in the country and will take over at season's end (ie. after next week) which was planned and makes sense. Others say the season's end is after the draft yada yada and that Green wants to or had planned to stay on until then. Who TF knows what's going on. I also find it odd that he gets prickly about being called an interim president when that's exactly what he is. Wierd

Yep, I'm not suggesting he is but that's how it reads.

IMO she also intentionally or otherwise puts Goodwin in the frame for leaking in the article
