Then it would be of no interest to me as I find berry smoothies too rich for my taste.

I doubt there would be berries...

I think it would be fruitless...

On a lighter note, wonderful news at McDonalds, the arrival of the BANANABERRY smoothie at $2.95. Is there a Maccas on my way home?

The only arrival I would like to see at McD's would be that of Whelan the wrecker :-)

How's the diet going Redleg?

Struggling. I have worked out that food is not my problem, eating it, is.

Well it's the 8th and that means 5 days to go. I have ordered some valium, to keep me under control as the draft goes on and I wait for the results to come up.

We are certainly getting a lot of publicity lately in papers and on TV.

hahaha, getting those early picks correct will be critical

There is no more tantalising combination in the world of Australian football than that of Kevin Sheedy and Kim Hagdorn of Sports News First - Sheedy reveals rookie draft plan

This meaningless piece of blabber starts with the suggestion that Sheeds is "unlikely to use all of his privileged picks in the AFL rookie draft this month" (actually he can make up to five rookie picks which is about par for all 18 AFL clubs).

The great man is so underwhelmed by the rookies on offer that he says he might only take one or two which suggests to me that his recruiting wunderkind Phil Sc ... er, you know who ... is already earning that 2 grand a week salary at the club. So, what does he do for the other 51 weeks?

The rest of the article tries to make a silk purse out of the sow's ear that has been the GWS recruiting juggernaut of 2011 and promises more of the same in 2012 as it turns it's attention on the next player it can offer $1m a year plus 10% for the old man if a new position in the club hierarchy can be fabricated for him.

Sheedy has also said that he won't spend big at the pre season draft citing :lol: " salary cap restrictions" :lol: . He says the club will target big-bodied players at the pre-season draft but the article does not divulge whether Phil Sc ... er, you know who ... has nominated (the Giants motto is, if you're going for a big body then go for the biggest).

I love this time of year.

As friday dawns we move to 4 days left to wait for this year's major footy event.

This shows the sheer genius of Kevin Sheedy and why he is one of the game's great thinkers.

He has salary cap issues but needs big bodied players so he drafts one who's already included in his club's total player payments anyway.

Sheer brilliance!

With a new player training with us for 1 session before the Rookie draft will that throw predictions out? Then again who has made a prediction anyway?

3 and 3/4 days to go.

Here we go!

Williams, Couch & Clutterbuck. we just have to have a name to laugh about.

If we have a fourth I don't care. Life stops at a clutterbuck.

H_T feel free to edit spelling mistakes. I can take it.

Edited by Chippy

Clutterbuck's a given and the obvious candidate for the number 31 guernsey.

Couch already looks to be a part of the furniture.

The other two?

I'd take a KPP and a medium/small outside midfielder who can go forward or back.

I like the cut of Marley Williams' jib.

He fits one of the areas I think we're lacking in and I like the fact that he's a booming kick.

I think the rest will probably come from the list of those who are training with us although Tom Sundberg, who was a teammate of Tom Couch at Collingwood, would be a handy addition in the midfield.

The big lad Williams from Norwood EFL appeals as well but I haven't seen the rookie candidates at training so I'm relying entirely on hearsay.

I suppose we'll know in a little over 3½ days.

Clutterbuck will be a commentators nightmare!! Heat of the battle quick play you wait.

As long as he goes to a club i will smile...

3 days. Not sure if we will go a smokie with the number of boys training with us. I am pretty certain that Couch will be 1 and that leaves 3.

Clutterbuck will be a commentators nightmare!! Heat of the battle quick play you wait.

Yeah, and he also has a dance song already.

Do the Clutterbuck,

Do the Clutterbuck,

if you cannot get a kick

Put your body in, 

do a little spin,

Grab the pill and give it off, then do it all again.

Run and run all day,

That is how we play,

See the Dees and watch them go,

We're heading for a win. 

 

Why not? You can at least understand the words, even if they are a trifle simplistic.

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
