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

then you're outa luck.

Ok that's the start get it going

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.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

  • AFLW REPORT: St. Kilda

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
