The AFL knows exactly what it is doing in this case. They want us up and running, so that it doesn't keep costing them money. Crap team equals poor attendances equals no interest equals poor TV ratings equals less revenue for the AFL. It is very simple. A strong MFC means more AFL revenue.

Brayshaw should shut his trap, as he knows this very well and also North has been one of the biggest beneficiaries of AFL handouts over the years.

I would just ask him one question. "Next time you play a home game against the MFC, do you want a big crowd or a small one?"

A sauce told me that some in the AFL would complain publicly about our compensation but internally wouldn't give a tinkers cuss.

Anyway I'm having dinner with Paul Roos' accountant tonight but out of respect to people who are sick of "sauces" I'll be as quiet as a mouse!

(I'm serious)

I get the feeling Jack has already agreed verbally to join Malthouse, now he might be trying to get out of it.

This cannot happen, clubs are not allowed to sign players who are still under contract. If it was true that a verbal agreement had been made then it's just verbal, Watts can do whatever he wants.

Due to Mad Monday celebrations for the players they have decided to put it off to tomorrow. Watch Fox footy tonight if you can

And if not tomorrow the next day possibly?

Any inside info or just guessing?

But of course I hope you're right

I doubt I'll be any the wiser. The bloke is a stickler for confidentiality.

Dammit, men are useless at extracting info.

Just get him drunk!

Agreement. The word is AGREEMENT.

That thing you wrote is not a word, it's a modern distortion of a noun created by some clown who does not know his own language.

I have nothing to add on the Roos matter. It is clearly done and all that is left is the timing. We need something else to post about, preferably in real English. (Not

having a go at you PsD - just try not to murder the language again, pls.)

From the Oxford English Dictionary:
† aˈgreeance Obs.
[a. OFr. agréance, n. of action f. agréer: see agree and -ance.]
The act of agreeing; = agreement in several of its meanings.
1536 Bellendene Cron. Scotl. (1821) II. 333 King Johne‥to eschew the present dangeir, maid aggreance with his prelatis. 1549 Coverdale Erasm. Paraphr. Hebr. iii. 6 If we dooe styll abyde in the concorde and agreaunce of the house. 1559 in Strype Ann. I. i. App. xvi, The diversity of our fasting setteth forth the more the agreeance of our faith. 1599 Jas. I Basil. Dor. (1682) To Reader, What aggreance and conformitie he ought to keep betwixt his outward behaviour‥and the vertuous qualities of his minde. 1714 Milbourne Traitor's Reward 19 In agreeance with God's laws.
Some clown from the sixteenth century, then.

Watch what on Fox Footy? AFL360? On the Couch? What exactly should we be watching and what will be said? Obviously it won't be an announcement of his signing and a press conference would not be announced until the day... so what exactly should we be looking/listening for? A furtive glance from Gerard directed at Roos? A nod and a wink from Mike directed at Roos? Give us a hint.

Personally, I think you have no idea... after all, it's not as if they weren't aware that mad Monday was coming. My thought is that it will be announced on Friday or Saturday, based on recent history (Bailey and Neeld appointments).

OTC will be very intersting, any chance someone could paraphrase? will be unable to watch

I bet my left nut that Ross will say nothing different to what he said on Friday on Fox.

Recent history means nothing as the club was run by absolute morons.

PJ will do things his way.

    TRAINING: Wednesday 13th November 2024

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.
