Whispering_Jack 31,367 Posted December 7, 2011 Posted December 7, 2011 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? How's the diet going Redleg? Quote
rpfc 29,024 Posted December 7, 2011 Posted December 7, 2011 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... Quote

Redleg 42,151 Posted December 7, 2011 Author Posted December 7, 2011 How's the diet going Redleg? Struggling. I have worked out that food is not my problem, eating it, is. Quote

Redleg 42,151 Posted December 7, 2011 Author Posted December 7, 2011 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. Quote
Redleg 42,151 Posted December 8, 2011 Author Posted December 8, 2011 We are certainly getting a lot of publicity lately in papers and on TV. Quote

Whispering_Jack 31,367 Posted December 8, 2011 Posted December 8, 2011 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 " salary cap restrictions" . 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. Quote
Redleg 42,151 Posted December 8, 2011 Author Posted December 8, 2011 As friday dawns we move to 4 days left to wait for this year's major footy event. Quote

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! Quote

Redleg 42,151 Posted December 9, 2011 Author Posted December 9, 2011 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. Quote
Barney Rubble 1,576 Posted December 9, 2011 Posted December 9, 2011 (edited) 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 December 9, 2011 by Chippy Quote
Hulett Packard III 166 Posted December 9, 2011 Posted December 9, 2011 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. Quote

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. Quote
Sir Why You Little 37,454 Posted December 9, 2011 Posted December 9, 2011 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... Quote
Redleg 42,151 Posted December 9, 2011 Author Posted December 9, 2011 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. Quote

As long as he goes to a club i will smile... Yeah, and he also has a dance song already. Do the Clutterbuck, Do the Clutterbuck, if you cannot get a kick then you're outa luck. Ok that's the start get it going Quote

Ok that's the start get it going Do the Clutterbuck, Do the Clutterbuck, if you cannot get a kick then you're outa luck. 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. Quote
Whispering_Jack 31,367 Posted December 10, 2011 Posted December 10, 2011 Just guessing here guys but it's more than 50 years ago that the great Chubby Checker (who is apparently still with us) tried that sort of stuff and I don't think it's going to fly with the current younger generation. Quote
Deeoldfart 8,201 Posted December 10, 2011 Posted December 10, 2011 Why not? You can at least understand the words, even if they are a trifle simplistic. http://youtu.be/a0Zc9Io5IGo Quote
