Yeah, that's what I don't get when people say that he did nothing wrong. He cannoned into Riewoldts back when Roo wasn't in the immediate contest, it's pretty clear what Bugg was trying to do.

Would laugh if Essendon got him and then got popped for salary cap infringements.

Solid rainy afternoon watching some footy documentaries on youtube, The Year of the Dogs (more shots of wangs than I was expecting) and The Lost Years about the tigers. The tigers one was especially interesting as it explained why the club went broke in the late 80's early 90's, I just remember everyone rattling tins for them when I was a kid.

Melbourne has legitimate selection problems this week  Dawes comes off suspension, and Vince should be fit, but who do you take out? Vince could probably come in for Toumpas on pure form, but Roos may want to show faith and give Toumpas a proper run at it rather than dropping him after one game. Dawes is even harder, the obvious choice is Frost, but I reckon he would want to keep developing Frost as much as possible. If he can actually play second ruck then that's massive as he is capable down forward and in defence, as well as providing good run across the field. Maybe Dawes and Vince have to run around at Casey for a few weeks and tear things up if they want back in the team. Also Steele sidebottom  Don't think it's worth cutting him so down a bench player for 8 weeks And Shiels Gough Suppressant fucked around with this message at 12:45 on Apr 7, 2015 |

Grimes was playing off halfback, Salem is both better right now and someone we want to get as much games into as possible. Lumumba is one of the best players in the team and also more than capable of going through the midfield. He's going to have to find a new position, have really good form for a few weeks in a row at Casey, or have us manage Salems workload in his second year to get back in the side.

Pretty quick turnaround by Melbourne once the AFL pulled their finger out and gave them money for a decent coach. It'd be interesting to read an honest accounting of what changes took place behind the scenes to bring about all this.

It'd be interesting to read an honest accounting of what changes took place behind the scenes to bring about all this. The literal firing of almost everyone from the football department and back office into the sun. I think we have 2 coaching staff left from before the bailout and less than that in the executive.

Having gotten a job at Richmond, done a decent job with the financials but failed dramatically when trying to impose himself on the football department, and then gotten a job at Fremantle, where he did a decent job with the money, but failed dramatically when he granted himself significant influence over the football department and list management decisions, and then gotten a job at Melbourne, where he did a decent job with the financials but failed dramatically when he granted himself significant influence over the football department and list management decisions, it seems pretty clear Schwab is another one of those CEOs who is loving terrible, but is a talker, and keeps holding onto jobs and getting more jobs because the CEO level is a loving merry go round no matter how bad you are.

Ah that takes me back… Rougey posted:Born and raised a South Melbourne support by my nutter of a father who uprooted his himself to move to Sydney, hell, my little sister was registered as a member before she was born. Was too young for 1996 and was devastated when they lost. I stormed the field on the 6 of June 1999 on that fateful day - hell, I still wear my Locket4 Red and White Scarf from this bloody freezing cold Saturday night in '97 when they ran out of Swans Scarfs - hell, I don't even remember the wooden spoon years before Plugger, and even cried when I saw them lose their fist home match, because in my young memory they never lost. I have my ticket from 2005 in a secure safe deposit box, that mark before the siren is etched into my memory. In 2006 I was doing my HSC and it couldn't be helped and it took me four years before I tried tequila again. In '09, when Mickey O retired, it dawned on me I couldn't recall a season where he didn't play. I was there for that unexpected showing of 2012 (still have that ticket in my wallet), and after attending two wins and missing both losses my old man is convinced that I'm the key to victory like some sort of voodoo magic; so long as I'm willing to shell out some dosh for fuel and accommodation I always have a ticket to any grand final Sydney gets. I also prepared a similar conciliatory post for the Dons during the third quarter on Saturday night, speaking about how it was good for the club, and it was great to see them come back so strong after such a dark time (also taking a moment to snidely comment that Ray Chamberlain is cheaper than pills), but overall congratulating them on the victory well fought. But then  happened and I deleted it.

also the dees managed to put in a 3 1/2 quarter performance at home against a gold coast side with no forward line and ablett clearly hampered all game. a solid win against gws on the road would be great, but we wont really be able to see where the dees are properly at for 2015 until a couple of months at least.
