God help PRE if Selwood plays well and Cheech doesn't...

NO, we should have flicked Cam got another untried propsect and kept pick 19.

Pretty simple JK Rowling.

Cam earnt his place on the rookie list. Thats more than we can say for the majority of *smile* weak lazy bastards we have in the yellow and black.

But why have him on the rookie list? Surely after 3 years you should have made a decision one way or the other on him? The rookie list is for untried junior prospects not blokes you've already seen the best and worst of for 3 years.

I do agree to a point, The club should have delisted and traded more players (hello oldies and those with attitude and comittment problems) to make room.

But its a bigger problem than that though. I see players going backwards at this club not forwards. Players come here with skills and magically turn into unnacountable squibs who cant kick a ball to save their lives. The nature of our selection process and continual hot cold play or dont play decisions are really screwing players up. Lets not start on actuall developement, coaching or tactics either.... thats just a head do'er.

I swear we coach like we are trying to fit square pegs into round holes.

pretty fair effort for any first gamer i would have thought. geez what do people expect of first yr players

I was hoping for 30 touches and the match winning goal
 
Went to the derby yesterday, Selwood look great, took the game on, played down back a bit, looked the part, was tested out by dockers players a bit behind play, didn't seem to worry him, smart choice trading pick 19 for McMahon, Terry, Greg and circus, your resignation will be accepted first thing Monday morning!
 
Years of intensive study and genetic experimentation have resulted crossing Lounder and Nicholls to the ultimate RFC new age footballer: McMahon

We supporters should be proud that we are at the cutting edge of cloning Duds!

Put simply McMahon is another re-cycled hack from another club to whom we have provided a home.

McMahon, Polak and Kingsley are players who we have targetted to provide a short term solution. They are not long term players.

Can't understand how you can be critical of Polak? Ok he hasn't had the best start to the season yet but we have only played 2 games. His form last year was fantastic and he was one of the few shining lights in the team in what was a very bleak year. Marks everything that comes his way and can play forward or back and even be used in a pinch hitting role occasionally in the ruck. To say that he is not a long term solution is just absolute crap when you consider that he is still only 23 years of age but has almost 100 games behind him. Polak is one of the players that can lead us out of the 25 year wilderness.

that would be logic scooper dooper. something in very short supply at our club.
mindboggling that we pervert the whole reason for having a rookie list and yet people still defend what we have done.
i keep saying the club is a reflection of the majority of its supporters both are mired in all sorts of shades of grey when things are really black or white.
i have a feeling the excuses will only cease once we have gone into extinction.

it all depends on what you are looking for in your kpps. polak is as soft as they come.

what the hells a lench mob?

'da lench mob' was a early 90's rap band that used to work with Ice Cube when he has in his 'kill whitey' stage before he started to do movies about giant snakes.

I just like the image of a angry mob with burning torches turning up to punt road and demanding the head of Miller for trading pick 19

The Hurn miss is one that always gets to me - like we couldn't use an 87kg quick inside-outside player who kicks 55 metre drop punts on the run.... oh yeah, and looks like a traditional football player :-\

We have 4 players under a certain age who weren't picked up by other clubs, how is this a perversion? By that reasoning Essendon having Rama on it is a perversion.
