The one thing that bothered me in the Kangaroos game, was the bombing long to no-one in particular or more importantly to the North spare man in our forward line on more than one occassion. Lets just say I was hoping that would not be as evident.

Just on that BV if we continue to have the extra around the ball, that means it is vital we give the ball to a precise kick (and probably a long one) or else our back line is in for a torrid year.

co-sgn.

Also, he mentioned during an interview on the weekend that he is already thinking beyond the current contract and would coach on if the club wanted him to. Which of course it will, unless it goes completely tits up.

His comment re; coaching was intriguing, actually. He basically acknowledged that the window had more or less closed, and the recruitment of was very much geared around providing support to Murph, Gibbs etc to bring through a new batch of kids and maintaining a high level of competitiveness in the medium term once the likes of Judd, Carrots, Waite etc retire. he certainly didn't say that they weren't planning/striving for success now, but it was a very honest appraisal of the list and what the planning was during the trade/draft periods.

Only for the fact that the likes of "Docherty, Everitt, Thomas etc" may have the potential to hinder or even prevent the "new batch of kids" required from actually getting to Carlton. It's a fine line and I've actually heard that arguement used to condone more demonstrably short term recruiting. Having said that, I'm not saying I'm against those trades on paper but there's always the potential to say one thing and actually do another.

The Kangaroos game? I still have nightmares about the game against the Saints. Geez, how many marks did McEvoy take in defence that night?

..he took ten over the match, but easy marks we bombed long to him..

Essendon* cheated, simple as that

Would you rather Mick in the coaches box or
Travis Cloke in a navy blue jumper?

We all but had Cloke signed sealed delivered until Mick was appointed senior coach
