I think we might have another good one!

Let's hope so.

Emma Quayle has an article on next 2 years drafts and sevetal possible father/son options mentioned http://m.theage.com.au/afl/for-25-years-josh-claytons-father-has-drafted-teenagers-to-afl-clubs-this-year-he-hopes-its-his-turn-20140401-zqpg6.html Yes but she has James Coghlan as eligible for Carlt...

Thanks for the report tony74. Who else remembers our famous win against West Coast at Subi when both Spida and Daniel Healey kicked 6 each??

Hoping so. Who was our last rising star, feels like ages ago?

Totally, you can add Jimmy Webster into that mix as well. I wasn't a huge wrap for Saunders last season but now I'm definitely convinced. Love the way he goes about it.

With Ian McLeod on the Board, MD of Coles, I'm staggered he can't contribute a lead from within Industry as a major sponsor??

Anyone up Bendigo-way able to shed any light on whether James Coghlan (son of Frankie), who will play TAC Cup in 2014, will make it to AFL level? If so, he'd be a potential Father / Son pick.

Fantastic decision if they appoint him. Even if it's stepping stone he will add a lot of value. I worry about the ability to bring in sponsorship given his history but right now we need a strong voice in the AFL environment. Like it or not we will have to play with city hall for the next 5 years. F...

I would be looking at trading Gilbert (who by then will be 28), Armitage (26) and Ray (28). I'm not saying these guys are not good. From a list strategy perspective, we could keep them but probably only Armitage would be the only one of the 3 that could play in our next Grand Final. The question I ...

Anyone have any news on securing a 2nd major sponsor to replace Centrebet? There's been whispers but nothing come to fruitition.

We have an excellent candidate in the frame but he is unavailable for another few months due to his current position. The name has not been mentioned in this thread yet. My mail is that we are likely to appoint him close to the middle of the year - so there might be some smoke and mirrors in the in...

I read an interview with Tom Hickey the other day where he stated a number of times how much he has learnt this pre-season and how much he needs to improve/learn to hold down the #1 Ruck spot in 2014 and beyond. This got me thinking about what each & every one of us can learn/improve to help OU...

I worked with a bloke who was a board member at the Northern Bullants and they used to refer to Swan as "Sir Lunchalot".

I know what you're saying, frustrating, especially the story they left on before the break. The only positive here is January they're usually refining or learning a new game plan, I assume we're in the latter category with a new Coach. Once the tennis is over, footy will dominate the media again and...

I emailed this very point to AFL.com.au last week, suffice to say, crickets!!

Dempster had a great finish to 2008 before his injury as a tagger. Therefore he's an option as a midfield tagger. Just a thought..

No! Paul Little is effectively President & CEO, a terrible decision for any organisation. Little's been off his game since 2006.

I thought I read somewhere JBT would play either for Sandringham Dragons U18's or in the Private School system in 2014.

I'd be staggered if they don't sack Brereton over his outburst.

The silence from Seaford is deafening at the moment. When we sacked Watters, Summers said we'd have a new Senior Coach and CEO by the end of November, and the new strategic plan would be announced in coming weeks. Plus, we still haven't replaced Centrebet as a 2nd major sponsor.

What's going on??

Again a bonehead decision by the players . Forgetting the innocent or guilt, he is no longer a player of the club, how he will be remembered is up in the air, and for a club which has had more image problems than Julia Gillard and Kevin Rudd combined it is almost beyond belief that this happened. I...

I'd opt for a move to the Edmund Herring oval instead, better transport links than Junction Oval, especially if the royal domain train station gets off the ground.

I take it Trevor Hendy isn't there as ambassador this year? Watters' mate?

Apparently we were to hire a Senior Coach & CEO in the month of November. Less than 4 hours to go, highly unlikely! Nonetheless, it's been a memorable month!

We have one more year to go backwards, 2015 is onwards (slightly), then upwards.
