Um it was a pun.....think about it

Oh the irony....

You are normally sharper than that..

From the Collingwood Football Club site's pen pictures of its VFL listed players:-

Tom Couch

No. 56

17/06/88

177 cm 79 kg Recruited from Grovedale/Geelong (VFL)

Son of Paul Couch (1989 Brownlow Medallist) from Geelong. Playing over in Adelaide for a few seasons before returning to Melbourne. A solid midfielder.

At that height he would need to have all of his father's attributes - ball winning ability, good user of the footy and a bit of pace. He played well for the Pies v Casey in mid season but wasn't particularly fast and, at his height, that makes it hard for him.

The more impressive Collingwood VFL top up player who played in the midfield was Tom Sundberg, winner of their b & f. He is 183cm and a more likely draftee.

Of course, Mark Neeld would be familiar with both players. I wonder if Sundberg was invited to train as well?

Have my good and bad days......more your crumbing forward type

We have several players whom stripped today along with our draftees. I could only identify one - Fletcher Robnerts who kicked 5 goals to seal the Under 18's grand final this year. I expect the AFL to list the players later today or tomorrow.

[Demons 32 235]

Jai Sheahan is there as well....

[drdrake 3,187]

Jai Sheahan is there as well....

Is he about 10kg, there was a guy training that I thought was one of the rabbits we are using to pace our players but then joined in when the footy's came out.

Freddie Clutterbuck

If he ends up in the AFL, I can't wait for the call from the crowd when he screws up.

Why don't GWS have any players on the permission to train list?

[Whispering_Jack 30,640]

Why don't GWS have any players on the permission to train list?

Because under the AFL rules, GWS doesn't need to get permission for anything.

Gee WJ - I'd watch what you say re the AFL. You know that several AFL employees read our site and you don't want Andrew on your back. However, I don't doubt you would handle him with aplomb.

Actually, until today, I didn't realize how many MFC employees read our site!

[jayceebee31 761]

Nooooooooooooooooooo!

That doesn't mean we can't pick him up - although they will have a pick before us.

What makes you say that?

[jayceebee31 761]

What makes you say that?

Discussing it with football staff about it today.

Fletcher Roberts - 3/6/93,195,84. Kicked 5 goals in the GF, missed a couple of sitters. Inside Football - "... an exciting player with a great football brain. He is a great decision maker, who hasn't had a preseason due to cricket commitments at Melbourne Grammar. Can play both ends in a Leigh Brown type role."

Thanks for the warning jayceebee31.

I'm truly shivering in my boots concerning the revelation about having Demetriou on my back.

Should I hire a bodyguard?
