JB.....every player that seems to be getting delisted of late has been promised a rookie spot.....I think Evans turned this option down.......Melbourne still want him apparently.....I wonder if WCE or Freo might snag him?....

why would any club want someone who can't make the grade at Melbourne?

Yep they've got mine. Interesting with Marshall running for the board,he has some good ideas on the development of the new members which previous board & staff didn't agree with, but were very popular with the members, both should get in easily this time, no silly games with emailing and mailing to members one hopes!

I have concerns about the new development, the grassed area seems to have shrunken and I can't see any dollars deck / can bar - don't wanna be drinking and watching the game behind glass like at leederville. Marshall has given members his e mail address so it gives us an avenue to voice our concerns if he gets in - which he will.

From my understanding Marshall was at odds with management and the previous VP (not sure if the VP is still there) over there not being a "Dollars Deck". Marshall wanted it, that may have been one of the reasons there was a delay in demolishing the old structure. Think he was at odds with the VP/Shimmon over that. Marshall and a group he's involved with from what I've heard are pretty sound, a good get if they get on the board. Tiger of Old tell all your mates to vote for him & Reynolds.

Young Ledger did the same thing last season, the fact Evans doesn't want to be there you'd think they'd let him return.

Cl included Tiger of Old?

Tom Swift has signed up. Great news that both Seaby & Franz are playing on in 2015.

You are also chasing Anthony along with ef & Subi...

will be difficult and expensive to get Anthony, subi will be in the box seat there. swift adds to our mid field depth which is important with Blackwell and foster gone. won't be a walk in the park for him to make the league side after 2 seasons out.
