Robert Heatley Stand / Re: Chris Yarran has gone backwards.
I don't think there's anything sinister going on with the three amigos. Like other players they are struggling a bit with the transition to the MM way of playing. In fact I thought Jeffy started to show a bit v. the Saints.

I remember a doco on TV a year or two ago about 3-4 young footballers and their lives. CY was one of them and he showed the guts and will to be eventually drafted into the AFL. All others fell by the wayside.

That showed me that he has got inner strength and yes EB1, maybe a mentor such as Mickey O would be a good idea for him to help him reach inside to that inner reserve?

The show was called 'Three Boys Dreaming' and got replayed just last week on ABC1.

That's it! Thanks Sheik - it is a great program.

I was hoping that his getting down and dirty with Geary last Fri might fire him up a bit - get the adrenalin flowing! I'm pretty sure though he's struggling with how/what role MM wants him to play - mind you I've always thought that he's a bit of a cruiser.

Robert Heatley Stand / Re: 2013 - the year our best players went AWOL
What FB is saying has a lot of merit IMO - we have plenty of talent on the list that is not performing to its potential and if it did we could be sitting a lot prettier.

However, to go on to win the flag I'm convinced that we need about three very good experienced  players; a KPF (maybe Hendo?), a KPD, and another class, hard-bodied mid. And I agree these should be of the extrovert type - even captain material.

These are the types we need to chase as priorities for next year, not so much the younger untried variety, however talented.

@Thry

Agree re. Lucas, I'm also more optimistic about him. He is showing more and more and will turn out OK for us I think. He is also less panicky now and I think is toughening up a bit.

Cachia is a great prospect also - posted earlier about him and he looks like someone we will get a few good years from.

N e 1 hear MM's presser after the game?
Was listening on radio on way home and they were asking why Watto hasnt been getting a game.......I nearly drove off the road when MM said that Watto's form ALL YEAR has been very encouraging but Jamo and hendo were doing the job for him.  His form encouraging ??? :o

I cant take MM seriously any more after that. Cudo's to Watto for last nights effort. It wasnt awe inspiring but he did " a " job and passed. Hopefully he can keep it up and prove to everybody that he really does want to be a Blue. ;)

MM just feeds the media whatever he likes... protects his boys from scrutiny (individuals that is) and sends the media off on wild goose chases and seldom gives anything away. I love it. He must laugh down his sleeve when he gets back to the rooms...

What's that Joh BP used to say - "Feeding the chooks"?  ;D
