I'm sure it's a fine shiraz OD but best put the cork back for a while.

My error Bbo

But looks like we will struggle with them as well.

I wonder who we will pick with no.1 in this years draft.

As a Demon Rock Chucker and an Opus Dei convert , you are allowed , nay expected, to [censored] yourself . Not an issue.

All that oily rag crap , poverty, chastity, humility. They can have it.

Man cannot live on bread alone. The odd bit of truffled llama in Shiraz Jus washed down with some Plonk helps.

The biggest business in the world should be able to soak up the expense account of the CEO.

Sell off the Sistine and get the party started I say.

The church could have done with a reformer like yourself Biffen. They missed a rare opportunity.

Although the Argy has probably washed down the odd Alpaca chop with some of the local brew. BTW if flogging yourself is a prerequisite then quite a few Demonlanders would at least get to the first cut.

I think that is the problem Bbo I have hardly had an hard drink in two weeks.

I think my alcohol to blood level have sunk to an a dangerous low level.

I will need a visit to DM's with card in hand tomnorrow.

How has Gysberts gone in the last 3 weeks, anyone know?

No headlines suggests to me he has been average Redleg.

If he had been doing well I would suggest there would have been a headline.

" Melbourne reject doing well at North"

But I have heard nothing, but I have not been looking either

I was just interested. I suppose we will get more info in the real season.

I checked the limited info from Saturdays game and no mention of him.

But not sure what you could read into that as 50% of the story was about ending the game half way through the last quarter because of rain.

PS Checked the North site and he was in the team so it would appear nothing special as no mention of him in reports

My info is that he was first off the ground for North when it started p1ssing down rain.

Robert Walls couldn't believe it, on SEN on monday morning.

Why not? No doubt it was cold and wet and nasty and there was a hot milo waiting .............................. What's a man expected to do?

[Redleg 41,409]

Just watched On The Couch and once again Sheahan had a go at Melbourne, saying Jimmy and the Board and the administrators were complicit in the tanking and should all have been punished. He was reminded that we were found not guilty by the AFL and said oh well.

I have now watched or read several media people have a go at us and in the same breath or sentence, totally ignore the other clubs that did the same. As a result I have come to the following conclusion:

"A large percentage of media people are gutless lackies and bullies."

[Whispering_Jack 30,580]

Redleg, what did you expect from the trio who set the scene for the tanking investigation?

They didn't ask Brock McLean the one question that begged to be asked by any interviewer with a keen analytical mind. Their subject claimed he left because he didn't like the culture of "experimenting" yet he went to the club that made tanking an artform. That they didn't ask that question and now ignore Carlton's tanking over three seasons during the last decade suggests they are more than gutless or weak. They're rank hypocrites into the bargain.

Agree. They are also smug and that irritates me as well.

Now that should go some way to put a smile on OD's dial.

It certainly put one on mine. Gee it's making me thirsty.

Anyone else had this problem.

The stickers that came with my membership this year are de-laminating.

Colour is ok but after two months on the back window the top clear film layer has crinkled up

And has now started to lift.

I reckon they have another couple of weeks left in them.

Not getting a lot of joy from the Dees are you?

nine tenths of nothing Redleg.

Are you filled with glee Redleg?

Mate, if a banana smoothie won't do the trick, how about a bear hug, to snap you out of this trance?

Fwiw, I've always had trouble with the odd sticker. Our harsh summer always takes it's toll on stickers on window(s). If you have them on for more than 3-4 months they get baked on, or they de-laminate.

Not glee, but when I see 14 new players on the list, one next year who could be great, hear that our fitness is up, see the Coach fitting into his role more comfortably, note that the players gone generally added nothing, speak to guys like Neil Craig about our future, while not gleeful I am certainly more optimistic.

This morning I have walked past 50 cars with stickers some look like they have been on 10 years.

Not one de laminating H_T

So the remedy must be to only use our stickers inside out of the sun

All of what you say is probably true Redleg.

I will be delight if it improves matters.

But where it really counts is winning games.

When that happens I will believe.

[old dee 23,870]

Got my new season booklet electronically this year.

Works better than I expected.

God I must be older than I think.

Most of the players look about 15.

Good publication.

Anyone have any idea what a hard copy would cost?
