No doubt he will kill them this week, bringing you another WIN.Gee would love to place you in the lower deck, but think you will belt me again.Loosing Hille, Ball, Gray, and this week SJ really puts me behind the ball game.Also, doing this from Japan, is really hard work.

anyhow, enough excuses.Your odds on and I would not back myself.Your ruckman will win it for you, great strategy having two good ruckman whom gain lots of possessions.Just hope I make it interesting.Take pity on me, please

I have lost Yarran to injury, and Shueys shoulder may seem him out as he is EIC.

50/50 in my opinion. My defence is weak and the team managed only 2.10 last week.

You're red hot favourite in scoring terms. And already in front on tackles. Facing an uphill task to get the 4 points this week.

Loving the mind games going on between you 2 Shrewd coaches.

You are the favourite~ No you are?

I am the underdog - No it's me facing an uphill task.

Line ball decision for mine - Shuey playing or not might just decide the contest

Agree. And if I was Worsfold I wouldn't play him if they are leaving it until morning of match to test.

Scales tipped in JCB's favour.

What a lot of BULL.He is playing and will STAR.I'd back ya @ I/3,Certainty,Will win, kicks, frees, H/o's.leaving the others a little open. But with the odds and your playing list you are a cert, if I had of been able to playHille, Ball, Gray but I suppose it is only a game but gee I'd luv to beat HT. Believe me!

What's with the stupid Waiver system this year?

I can't remember having to battle through this red tape last year?

If we needed to top up a player after selection we simply recruited them from the player market.

& the players we bidded for earlier in the week have gone from April 27 to May 1 on the waiver system?

What am I missing here? Was this the same in season 2011?

Ruddy hard work isn't it.R U back from USA ?

We play each other next week and I'm away in Japan.You may gain a walkover so I'll have to,no really have to try to put High Tower into the allowed Deck, being the Lower type but very very doubtful.But gee I'll be giving it everything.

HT,you are unbelievable, late change -Sellar, frightenedI would beat you In the Hit Outs.O well don't worry, you'll [censored] me.But don't worry, I will continue to give you heartburn.

Oh well, there is that too. But I'm actually hoping he will contribute to scoring given Clark's absence. If I'm to bury you, I may as well make a good impression....

Edit: Fwiw you have never given me heartburn JCB.

Why do people continue to believe that there are "mind games" going on between coaches? I get that people want to believe that this is the next best thing to AFL coaching, but honestly, are you really going to not pick you best players because the opposition coach says he thinks he may lose?

You are a sad case as you are a looser- you wouldn't know- remember Kevin Sheedy or Malthouse in their prime.You are totally correct, but to me, it is a bit of fun.I, actually have a lot of time and respect in HT, a hell of a lot more than some others.

You have got it, a bit of fun as far as I am concerned,sad to see some take it so seriously.But you are also correct re Shuey, he plays,he wins.

It's so difficult. Is this more example of said mind games?

no - just admitting one opponent is a nemesis that I just cannot beat. One needs to admit, if someone is better.That is how,I play the game.But don't worry to much for me, I will get trounced this week, but will bounce back, hope you have a great year yourself.At least I am in front in the tipping part.Where are you ?no where as usual.

I'm usually no where? That's pretty hard to do.

I own a group of companies, called SMaRT Group , I am offering you the title of SMaRT RS no.1 taking over another important acquaintance of yours .I wish you well in your game this weekend.

stole a three hit out win,footy gods swung my way with mcauley being a late inclusion!

Came down to 2 marks in the end in a ding-dong battle with with Snomed.

Shat me-self watching Scott Thompson rack 'em up at will in the last ... but the boys held on.

Back on the WINNERS list!

Win by a bee's d$&k - 1 free 1 mark and 4 hit outs, can't believe I snuck past Robbo.

You don't know how good you have got it?

I would kill for just a single hit out - Haven't seen one since round 3

8-7 win and out of form. Reid, Smith and Shuey will need to pull their finger out next week v The Wreckers.

In fact, the changes may have to come early and they can be held accountable, won't stand for that crap and cost me % big time. Could have buried Mr Mind Games JCB.

SMaRT move that.

2.8 and 2.4 in two successive weeks has been the return. FMD. Not good enough.

HT Hurricanes brains trust need a re-think and we're 3-2 after 5.

Will listen to trades people. Several of my players on notice. Send the offers through.

Posted

5 Rounds down & Team OMR is in big strife.

Fire Sale Time before the season slips to far away.

Swanny excluded (every other player is up for grabs)

Deals must be completed before Wednesday to take effect for this weekend.

Every offer looked @ if the team balance is there I am pulling the trigger.

So far in 2012 my trading has been a disaster for myself, every player I have traded is now in the top 100, so there is a fair chance

you will significantly improve your side.

Was so happy when I was checking my matchups and saw McCauley had been put in, otherwise I rely on Stanley's 8 hit outs haha

Was watching the west coast v Richmond match hoping Marci didn't get 5 more hit outs in the last 7:35 left on the clock! Haha. The gf was freaked out when I was celebrating nicnat getting a hit out as I usually hate him!

Posted

Wow. How quickly the wheels can fall off! Well done Wacko! Coming at you this week RPFC. Hopefully Selwoods out!

Nah, thankfully the tribunal has a Star Player Innocence Card © enabled. Geelong has about 5...

Late changes are still killing me - Porpoise a late change, and his back up Polkinghorne also a late change.

If I ever meet Polkinghorne in the street, I'd hit him! It's a good thing I haven't a clue what he looks like...

    THE ACCIDENTAL DEMONS by The Oracle

    In the space of eight days, the Melbourne Football Club’s plans for the coming year were turned upside down by two season-ending injuries to players who were contending strongly for places in its opening round match against the GWS Giants. Shane McAdam was first player to go down with injury when he ruptured an Achilles tendon at Friday afternoon training, a week before the cut-off date for the AFL’s pre-season supplemental selection period (“SSP”). McAdam was beginning to get some real mom

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the

    GAMEDAY: Match SIM vs North Melbourne

    After an agonizingly long off-season the 2025 AFL Premiership Season is almost upon us and the Demons have their first practice hit out against the Kangaroos in a match simulation out at Arden Street. The Demons will take on the Kangaroos in match simulation play, starting from 10am AEDT and broadcast live on Foxtel and Kayo. The play start time was brought forward from the initial 11am bounce, due to the high temperatures forecast.  The match sim will consist of four 25-minute qu
