Thanks for the last few years, Rod. Pity about the G.T. spat, there were a lot of good things to come out of your reign.

Demetriou ready to quit top job Tuesday, October 2, 2007 The AFL season is over - and league boss Andrew Demetriou is ready to call it quits. By Adam Shand.

Whatever your job is, I'd like the same, please.

I think we'd better get used to it. IMO free trade is only a couple of years away. Judd is doing whats best for Judd, I dont have a problem with it.

Thank G_d they arent doing the Port vs North game on Sat arvo, I am sure they'd find a way to Faaark it up.

Couldnt agree more, Joffaboy.

Was up at Port Douglas a couple of weeks ago. Was reading the local footy section in the paper, and the name, Cayden Beetham was mentioned as one of the gun players for a Cairns team (cant remember which one) I presumed it was the same Cayden Beetham.

After having access to live Friday night games up her in QLD all season (on Fox) we come to the business end of the season with good old Channel seven broadcasting Finals on Friday nights, and guess what ! It doesnt suit them to show potentially the best game of the finals live. Oh No, Better Homes ...

After watching him last week, I wouldnt be surprised if he was given a tap on the shoulder

What a load of over inflated crap. Seems to me that some people will state anything to start a thread

When a ruckman the calibre of Mark Blake is keeping you out of a side then I think it may be time to give it away.

I agree

Surely the club would look at Goose as a matter of urgency. Will be a very fragile looking backline without him, especially with Maxys injuries. Wonder if its just money or is Goose looking for a change of scenery.

With talk of extended interchange benches, who knows, 10 minutes on, 20 minutes off. I reckon we could get a couple of years out of him, THEN recruit King

After our less than succesful experiments with ancient ruckmen over the last ? years, you would hope that the club has finally learnt a lesson. NO MORE ANCIENT INJURY PRONE RUCKMAN

Expensive development coach

Great news. Banga's dream lives on, so does ours.

Big Beaumont is not worth chasing IMO. Have watched a fair bit of Brisso over the years, and from what I've seen this season, he plays like a footballer that is very restricted. Would cringe at the thought of him on Cox. Was very good before all his knee injuries, but not now, is 27-28 years old.

Obviously I missed reading the other thread. Thanks for the info.

What percentage of the member vote do they need to cause the change, is it just the 50% or a higher figure, 70% maybe.

A Players player, Good on you Vossy, a very underated footballer.
