    If Dannyz thinks he's out the door then our club will be planning accordingly for his exit. 

    He said, in his opinion, he was out the door as opposed to being intel in this instance*

    I’ve owned Pit Bulls, Bull Terriers, French Bulldogs, and Tibetan Terriers. All loving, all very well behaved - because I trained them.

    The most lethal? The Frenchies. The farts. Unbelievable.

    I beg to differ. My Great Dane can clear a room.

    A little weird???... it's so odd it's funny! I couldn't help asking the question.

    There is a solution and I’m not sure that it’s going to be palatable for everyone but it’s something I suggested a while ago. That is to give him more of an opportunity to develop KFW’s ruck craft by loaning him to a suitable club in the VAFA where he can get plenty of game time actually playing in the ruck. There are some seasoned ruckmen at that level and 80 minutes of time in the ruck is better than 40 minutes stranded in a forward pocket when the ball is spending 75% of time in defence.

    The idea is not original. A couple of years ago, Collingwood arranged for one of its rookies to play with Beaumaris Reserves in VAFA B Section. I don’t think it succeeded in the end, but the player in question was given every opportunity to develop his craft.

    I could be wrong but recall last year KFW playing at a lower level, particularly early in the season. I suspect they'll do the same this year.

    Crowd numbers - my perspective

    as a carlton supporter, maclure has a vested interest. he is trying to get blues out of playing at docklands so they can play more games at the g. docklands deal means someone has to play there so need another team to swap with. so media pressure on demons poor attendance is his agenda with the aim of carlton playing more mcg games at the expense of melbourne.  

    ^ This

    Maclure is framing if that's what it's called - when the journo builds a (in this case completely biased) picture to create a story, agenda or shape an outcome. Keep slinging mud at Melbourne home crowds and ignore the facts such as the Bulldog fans chain doesn't stretch that far from the kennel and the number of games we play there v interstate sides. He'll then point to average attendances and also ignore the impact of playing in Alice, Tassie or under-construction Geelong. He'll then go on to say Melbourne doesn't deserve to play at the G when other teams are pulling bigger crowds. Carlton, for example, deserves to be playing more games there instead...yada yada yada vomit

    i recall Hore being a nice kick but could be wrong

    I recall him being a beautiful kick when under no pressure. Under a little pressure, he would start to dump kick. Hopefully, Hore Mark 2 will show more composure with the heat.

    What exactly are you disagreeing with Roger?

    That it wouldn’t be cool if you were a player hearing that?

    Apologies Zeph - I agree with your belief that 'the rest of the comp probably hates it'. So that's me covered! I do, however, enjoy it when they jump the gun on the chant and then lose the game. Egg on face x 50,00 ferals

    The rest of the comp probably hate it but I must admit I get a bit jealous when 70,000 Pie fans do that Coooolllllliiiiinnngggggwwwwwoooooodddd chant.  As a player I reckon that would be pretty cool and it helps they have a longish name. Same when the Tiger fans do the Yellow & Black from their song. 

    Disagree. I think they're arrogant knobs. They now go completely overboard. Eg. They did it during the last practice match (ridiculous) and in the first quarter against GWS - that ended well for them.
