Critical appointment. We haven't had a really good CEO since Brian Waldron left. Some have done good things, but we need an outstanding, 5+ year appointment. Ron Gauci is in the frame and would be an amazing appointment, but Essendon have offered him the earth and then some, so it's unlikely. Brian...

So I take it Ashley Prescott is the Senior Assistant Coach that never happened? Sounds like a good trivia question.

A good Heidelberg (Viewbank) lad!

Colorado - is it still going ahead? Watters was keen to bring this experience across from Collingwood, however with his departure, does the trip continue? A new coach may have a different opinion. Personally, I'm sure there would be benefits from training at high altitude, however couldn't we simply...

Jim Magilton. Ian Macleod already appointed him once before at Victory.

What happened to us playing hard ball to get a top 15 pick for Dal Santo, or he stays? I remember reading that in the Herald Sun a few months ago. Favourite memory of a young Dal - playing out at Princess Park v. Carlton in his 2nd year (??) snapping a goal over his shoulder. I remember thinking, th...

The only player that seems to want out is A 31 year old Sam Fisher, great player but yesterday's hero. Storm in a teacup......lest bask in the Freo loss and watch the new talent walk into Seaford in 2014. Could the Fisher thing be related to the concerns that were quickly quietened last preseason? ...

Just wondering when the pelican said we were chasing 4 first rounders? He did say at the Platinum Members Night that we were talking to five Key Defenders, four of whom are uncontracted. On first rounders, he said that we will be trying to get an extra early first rounder this year or next !! To cl...

We'll be playing one game per season (ANZAC Day) for five seasons, deal to be announced soon. Instead of five games over three years as discussed previously.

IMHO, with good drafting and trading in 2013/14 we should be close to playing Finals by 2015...and with a good trade period in 2015 we should be on our way to being a serious contender by 2016....... I hope the club shows the courage to let SW coach through the rebuild and on to success. I was at t...

I scored an invite to the "Platinum Members Event" in the post today. It's at LHC on Monday 19 August. Speakers will include Michael Nettlefold & Chris Pelchen. I'll be going along with an open mind (I don't think I'll get too involved in the Q&A). Anyone else get an invitation an...

I'd like to see Watters coach without his WA boys surrounding him, just a concern. It'll be interesting if we need to appoint another Assistant Coach and they're not a WA connection.

Only if the $A holds. I wonder we'll still be off to Colorado if $A dips sub .80??

You're kidding me.. how many times did he go to ground and far too easily? Once you go to ground, you're out of the contest.

cwrcyn wrote:Just take pick 3 or 4, and pick 21 or 22 and pick the best players you can. Beyond that, trade an experienced older player and maybe a third round pick for a competent key defender. Follow the same pattern next year and it should give us what we need.

Totally agree.

Lyon looks like a one trick pony. Defence, defence and more defence. The good teams will work around Freo out by playing clean, positive football.

I'm not asking for much but I hope for the following:
* 2013 points reduced to zero and Bombers awarded the wooden spoon;
* no draft selections until Round 5;
* fine them $15 mil;
* club goes bankrupt;
* BJ rejoins the Saints on the minimum wage.

What's the protocol on opposition team giving a guard of honour? I expected Melbourne players to line up last night as our milestone players were chaired off the ground, only they were nowhere to be seen. Is it only offered for retiring players??

In reality this siutaion is NEW to everyone- there is no guide book St Kilda has thwarted a potential player rebellion by assuring its senior group that it had every intention of clearing Stephen Milne to play, potentially within the next four weeks. A deputation of senior players including Milne, ...

Yes I believe we should draft one however Taylor Adams from GWS would definately we worth a look.

Sipposs out surprises me. He could be used as another forward option to help out Roo. I would have thought we were too thin on the ground to be able to drop him ? To me, Siposs is a lazy footballer. He possesses some beautiful natural talent but lacks the required intensity and work rate that would...

Won Sandy's Best and Fairest last year. He has been playing as a midfielder/small forward and averaged about 25 touches and 2 goals a game and from what I've read is up there again in the Best and Fairest. Our current small forwards have been poor at hitting the scoreboard and creating turnovers an...

What a disgrace Melbourne have retained their draft picks after they were proven (somewhat) of tanking. If so, we'd have Pick # 2.

Anyone got any intel on Billy Hartung? He's a local kid who's been mentioned as a potentially high pick in 2013.
