Kiss of Death 772 Posted June 21, 2013 Posted June 21, 2013 Well, there had to be a thread that was longer than the cricket one at some stage Quote

Red and Bluebeard 2,101 Posted June 22, 2013 Posted June 22, 2013 I used to have one of those, bit of paper. But Im not sure about it as I keep hearing voices that tell me otherwise . I have a piece of red and blue plastic with my name on it that reminds me each week that I am insane ... :-) Quote

Redleg 42,156 Posted June 23, 2013 Author Posted June 23, 2013 At least some good news, Jack Watts says he wants to stay a Demon and has instructed his manager to start discussions with us. Hopefully he re signs soon and then we can move on to some others we want to keep. Some other good news would be the retirement of Byrnes and maybe Pedersen. Quote

He is a good size would love to see him lay a few good knocks but he is soft as butter. I'd put Byrnes and keep him in a forward pocket (if they insist on playing him that is) Quote

I'd put Byrnes and keep him in a forward pocket (if they insist on playing him that is) Pedersen is not in our best 28-30 and makes poor decisions. He is also not a very hard at it footballer. IMO he is a VFL footballer. I would never play Byrnes again. I watched him for a lot of the game. He doesn't even try and spoil if the kick is not directly to him. He is slow. He turned it over yesterday on nearly every possession he had. Reluctantly I would play him at Casey. As one of the other club's recruiters said, " he was struggling in the VFL last year". 2 Quote

If you add Gillies we have recruited a trio of guys that are clearly way below AFL standard. The item that beggars belief is we swapped Gysberts for Pedersen and gave him a three year deal. I would prefer to play any kid than this trio they are bloody useless. Quote

Redleg 42,156 Posted June 23, 2013 Author Posted June 23, 2013 Locked to the top of the first page (like the Code of Conduct thread). I think we certainly deserve that. Quote
Redleg 42,156 Posted June 23, 2013 Author Posted June 23, 2013 Just finished reading the book on Black Caviar by Gerard Whately, a very good read. Today I was in Chadstone shopping centre in the book shop and bought two books. One was the Master, the story of Bart Cummings, by the the greatest racing writer in the world, Les Carlyon. The second was a bit smaller and is called Life is Sport and Sport is Life, by Tami and Paul Roos. Thought it might be interesting. 1 Quote

Redleg 42,156 Posted June 23, 2013 Author Posted June 23, 2013 Look forward to your review Redleg Think I can sum it up pretty easily as follows, it is a book about a mare that won all her 25 starts and is the best sprinter, give or take Vain, that we have ever seen. Quote

Redleg 42,156 Posted June 23, 2013 Author Posted June 23, 2013 Paul Roos wrote a book? His name is on the cover, as co author with his wife. Quote
Redleg 42,156 Posted June 24, 2013 Author Posted June 24, 2013 Darren Lehmann new Coach of Australia. We should now win every test. Quote
Redleg 42,156 Posted June 24, 2013 Author Posted June 24, 2013 Saw film of Crowley barrelling into Boomer and sending him sprawling before the game started. Umpire right there tell Crowley to calm down and no free kick. Commentators furious as no free kick paid. Then I contrast that with the soft bump on Jones of the Saints, by Dunn, when Garland is about to kick out and reversal and Nick gets a free from 10 metres out. That is just so inconsistent. Amazing how weak sides cop that so often. There were four pathetic free goals given to the Saints, all controversial, yet not one to us. Funny that. Quote
