Why is carl peterson playing amateurs? he played nearly every game for the Hawks last year, and is still young? Did any of the league clubs have a chat to him, or couldn't they match Carey's offer?

Boring

Apparently his attitude wasn't unto AFL standards.

GWS may be interested next year if he goes well.

He was let go due to disciplinary reasons. So i cant imagine why another club would take the risk.
Careys offer was to find him a job. The network strikes again.
Re Carey squad yesterday, they did seem to have most stars running water. Probably because the ground looked crap and dry as a bone. Impossible to know what kind of real talent was running around at clubs like Marby and Barwon, but Carey looked pretty handy. Maybe there depth is better than recent years.

I for one hope this gethers momentum and brings out the best of the best. Bigger money, better players etc. Would be nice to see Xavs play Balwyn next year.

Rubbish. It would be horrible to see that. You are pencilling in Xavs for the flag again.
Nobody wants to see that. They are that far up each other I hear they are talking that way themselves. The view at Mass yesterday was "lets see how this Boags thing goes in its first year and if it looks OK we'll go and win it next year". I'd be happy to see them represent the VAFA when they win the C Grade flag in 2012, having been dropped 2 grades this year because someone came forward under the Amnesty and dropped them in it.

Hee Hee...."RahRah" you make me laugh. A newbie signs up within the last 5 weeks and posts like an old pro.

I wonder where Carl is?

Rah rah rah... no one is going to come forward under the amnesty.

Have you forgotten who runs the VAFA???

You are a boring fool.

I reckon DShlapp is right about this - VAFA - paper tigers - all talk - no action.

I am not sure Rah Rah can be labelled boring. Whilst I wouldn't agree with a lot of what he/she says, he/she has been a breath of fresh air to the A Grade forum. Maybe just a little grumpy on a Monday morning RR?

Rah Rah has my vote, the forum was like this in the old days, circa 2006, keep it up sunshine! Just need my old mate JGHornet to come out of retirement.....

Dear Kaos (is that you Siegfried?)
Usually when we refer to "Tall Poppies" it is someone that was once loved before being cut down. Therefore not sure we should use the term when referring to the Xavs.
To the rest of you, thanks for the vote of confidence. Mal, you are spot on. Ordinary day Monday. Will do my best to be more positive from now on. And if you guys are all OK with this, I am going to avoid replying to "DShlapp" - I dare not correspond with, let alone picture how he got that nickname (or which club's changerooms it was in).
