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.

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!

Got to think laterally.

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.

  • NON-MFC: Round 06

    The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • REPORT: Essendon

    What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

  • POSTGAME: Essendon

    Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
