The AFL simply makes the clash jumper rules up on the run. For some reason, we have to wear our white jumper against Brisbane, yet when they come to Melbourne to play us, they're free to wear their predominately red 'Fitzroy' jumper with red socks. It's bizarre. Add to that, the ridiculous situation when we play St.Kilda, when we adopt a jumper than worsens the clash, and the whole thing is a farce.

Good on you James. A great story. Go get 'em.

Get well soon Dean. We're barracking for you mate.

Had we had the right development program in place when he was drafted, who knows what Cale could have become?

Cross and Vince will ease some of the burden on Jonesy and allow Viney and Toumpas to develop properly without placing undue pressure on them to be overnight superstars. Fantastic stuff.

That was done very quietly...late on grand final eve. These troubles might also explain why Riewoldt is supposedly disolusioned with the club.

Be interesting to see who picks this up... http://www.afl.com.au/news/2013-07-06/buddy-will-stay-manager Player managers are about as trustworthy as politicians and used car salesmen.

Pickering strikes me as an uneducated bogan. It surprises me that he's been capable of negotiating such enormous deals for his clients.

Would have Chappy at Melbourne in a heartbeat, even at 31 years of age. A gun.

And thanks to Peter Jackson for giving us hope for 2014.

I'm really glad he's staying. I reckon he'll thrive under Roos. I can even see parallels between the two of them at a young age. Tall, athletic yet laconic, former basketballers. Roos could be just the man to help unleash Jack's potential.

Go get 'em Josh.

We gave them Kevin Dyson, Darren Jolly and Paul Bryce (who played one brilliant game for them - that awful day when the Swans broke their losing streak against us at the SCG in 93.)

Good footballer but he comes across as a towel short of a bathroom. A no from me.

I'd gladly take him as a FA on a one year deal. I think he could help teach our young mids the work ethic needed to succeed as a quality player over many years.

I hope he hasn't been brought in to teach our players how to use both sides of their bodies. He was the most left-sided player I've seen. Absolutely no right foot. That aside, I wish him nothing but success at the MFC.

Get well soon Rev. We're barracking for you, mate.

Fact is we could have and should have. Even wanted to play for the MFC...

Ollie Wines was excellent tonight. I know there's been lots said about last year's draft and sure The Toump may turn out to be a fine player, but it sure makes me sad seeing just what we missed out on.

Might be a trivial thing, but I'd like to see our blokes all in black boots again - a tough, no nonsense look.

The AFL make the clash jumper policy up as they go. That we were forced to wear it against St.Kilda which actually made the clash far worse defied logic. If we had to wear an alternate strip, I'd opt for a largely red jumper with a navy blue yoke and white shorts. If Gold Coast can wear its all red uniform against Essendon, then surely we could too?

A brilliant operator. Magnificent effort Peter. Brilliant stuff.

His appointment is the best news we've had for a long, long time. Can't think of too many better stories to have emerged from our club in recent history. A great day. Well done Mr Jackson.

It still runs! Although some day it will pack it in, making hours upon hours of taped matches completely useless. Have converted many of those oldies to DVD.

We had the Sony. Front, not a top loader. Was a great machine - just somewhat limited when it came to renting movies. Usually about four to choose from at the video library! Taped plenty of Demon victories on it!
