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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Yeah, and he also has a dance song already.

    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.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      The Dogs reigned supreme in 2018 with an inaugural AFLW premiership cup and the Demons matched this feat by winning the cup as the Season 7 2022 champions.Meggs wasn’t born when the Doggies won their first VFL premiership cup against the Demons in 1954. Covid prevented many Demons fans from legally witnessing the victorious 2021 AFL Grand Final cup performance between the Demons and the Bulldogs, but we all grin when remembering those magnificent seven third quarter goals.

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Hawthorn and Melbourne. Two teams with impressive form from last week but with seasons that are travelling on different trajectories meet in Saturday’s twilight game for what could well be the most intriguing contest of the AFL’s penultimate round. Sadly, the game has been relegated to that unappealing time slot in the weekend when Melburnians are typically preoccupied with activities other than football. It falls between the morning's shopping, afternoon sport and recreation, and Saturday night fever. A time usually reserved for relatively insignificant events but this one is not a nothingburger for either of the clubs or their fans.

    • AFLW: 2025 Season Preview

      Ten seasons. Eighteen teams. With the young talent pathway finally fully connected, Women’s Australian Rules football is building momentum and Season 2025 promises to be the best yet. In advance of Season 10, the AFL leadership has engaged in candid discussions with all clubs regarding strategies to boost attendance and expand fan bases. Concerningly, average attendances in 2024 were 2,660 fans per match, with the women’s game incurring an annual loss of approximately $50 million.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

    • PREGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?
