Watching the 94 prelim on Foxtel - our boys went ballistic at the umpires and rightly so but funny to watch.

You watch the tapes and are reminded that we completely lack players with his combination of decision making and kicking skills. He doesn't panic as he sifts through the options, is very comfortable choosing a different target at the very last second and can see the weaknesses in zones. Then...

Most people seem to have written him off entirely but while he's on the books, may as well try him forward.

Did he ever even play in the backline at Carlton? Should definitely play forward whether that's in the AFL or VFL.

Bringing in those three pros with great training standards is exactly what we need to become more competitive and set the right example to the kids coming through.

Now it's become the Shining with dramatic shots of hotel-like corridors.

Snoz does have star quality though ...

Yep we still use a Hypertec fax machine - one of only five ISDN fax-business phone prototypes made as they looked at expanding from PCs before they went broke.

Agree, it really only matters if players are ready for round 1 (season proper) and can sustain that effort throughout the season. What we do know is that in the last few years, a handful of players have been properly ready, but quite a few more haven't been.

Very true and neither do you. The proof will be in the pudding come round one though. And it was clear in the season just gone that a lot of players weren't fit enough at round 1 as we got blown off the park week after week. Not Xerri and Sheezel though - they were ready at the start of the...

It sounds good in theory but the intensity of a Tristan Xerri or Harry Sheezel pro-athlete style weights and running session in the off season would look a lot different to a number of our other players'. The other issue is the low base most have come from - when guys came back last year and...

Absolutely but according to his photos, he's there in Bali doing gym sessions with his wife. It's no surprise because he's our strongest and fittest player, or in the top 3. One of our very few players who worked over his opponent week in week out in a grueling position. It's the others who...

Sure - that was very poorly handled. The side was flying for the first half of 2016 before those players got an inkling. I was more referring to the culls since the big one in 2020 and which senior players we let go who might've made a difference in the dark years since.

As I said, he missed a lot of footy so he wouldn't have been much use to us. His form was patchy at GoDeez but he played particularly well in the grand final that won Melbourne its premiership. Given premierships are what it's all about, he did well enough. Certainly better than the others.

Fair call but Atley is 32 now and was never a needle mover. Getting rid of senior players probably didn't do much for morale, but guys who were 28 or so, like Atley, Macmillan, even Polec and Pittard attracted no interest from other clubs (sorry to bring up Polec). And Dumont, Tarrant and...

Not saying I disagree but which senior players should've we retained?

Have to ask why he played so much VFL last year. Supposedly opposition coaches put a lot more time into him in the last couple of years and forced him to defend. I mean I like the guy but he is a midget. He might be shrinking too.

Genuinely considering moving into one of those apartments on Macaulay St (with a view of the ground) so I can watch training now Parker is moving to us.

Curtis is 185cm or 6'1 - he's 1 cm shorter than Dermott Brereton - just looks like a small forward because everyone else down there is 189cm plus. We have no AFL standard small forwards on our list. Hansen might become one, but he's not there yet. If we played Wardlaw and McKercher as small...

We've never actually had a bad ruckman on our list - Mark Lisle and John Mossop included.

Sonja at the breakfast... "The leader of the opposition and I have both gone for a different approach, binding our respective futures to a powerful yet volatile energy source. For Mr Dutton, it's nuclear fission; for me, it's Alastair Clarkson. Let's hope yours is less explosive than mine has...

A-ha always had a Norm Smith in them -

Emphatic goal

The Swans - not actually that good. Overhyped players.

Heeney is just overrated - always has been.
