I am very serious.

Maybe I haven't explained myself properly.

I mean that in a marriage if either one wants to do something career wise and its to the advantage of your relationship (ie good $$$ and state to live in) then you would think they would support u.

That's what I am trying to say.

Hopefully that clears it up

LOL. Mate. Have you been attending nutbean's seminars on "how to have a successful marriage" again? (Sorry, nutbean!) I don't know too many women who would just move interstate at the behest of her husband without it being a two way decision. Honour and obey died out years ago.

It is accurate. They were talking to Centrebet/Sportingbet and they said they suspended the market due to many calls wanting a big crack at the $1.80.

All prices for Roos on other agencies have all dropped to $2 or less

oh sorry I was talking about sportsbet - it is sitting at 1.80 now, down from 2.25 of a few hours ago

If my future husband was offered a once in a lifetime opportunity with a once in a life pay packet, I would not stand in his way. It would be selfish to do so.

And detrimental to your future shopping sprees

Things may get interersting after Monday when I believe the AFL decide on the ratification of our assistance package which may or may not iclude priority picks.

Momentum may gather re Roos as MFC coach when/if all the points of assistance we are requesting get the big tick.

I think asking your spouse to pack up and move away from where they are settled and happy as just as selfish. And it's hardly a once in a lifetime opportunity for Roos. He's done it before and gave it away on his own terms, and I doubt he's on minimum wage as the head of the Swans Academy thingy.

Don't know if it's been reported but Peter Jackson is going on holidays from mid August to September sometime.

So we can assume it will be done and dusted prior to mid Aug?

If its to the benefit of both of u why wouldn't u move? It's nothing to do with honour and obey but more with common sense.

No he told the AFL before appointed that he was going on holiday back in May. Just means don't expect any announcement till september maybe even early October.

Bugger.

Would u think that he would have it organised before leaving but leave the announcement until he is back?(ie all his ducks lined up)

Mark Stevens tweeted tonight that Peter Jackson is off on holiday from mid Aug to mid September - must be pretty confident he'll have the key appointments taken care of by then?!!

Planned well before he took the MFC gig.

I am sure when dealing with businesses and issues like the MFC it isn't simply a case of 'sorry but I had a holiday booked already'. I'd be confident he has things at hand before heading off.

The gnome?

He reminds me of one. Put a little blue jacket on him and a red garden gnome's hat on him and shrink. Wouldn't look out of place at the bottom of the garden.

Would not get too excited about corporate books suspending bets.With this market a $500 wager will send their bean counters into overdrive.All the BS about accepting huge bets is just spin,to entice punters.

These parasites are likely to ban you after 2-3 bets if you take top price,even if you lose.

Would have to assume PJ will have things sorted before he heads off overseas for a month.

Talking about going on holidays at a critical time lol

He probably needs the break hh as he's been there for a number of wks now but probably seems like a number of yrs!!!

I don't know for sure but I suspect PJ is going to follow the tradition set by one of his predecessors who left his post to attend Wimbledon. I believe PJ's break coincides with the US Open Tennis and if that's the case there's every chance that, on his return, there will be an announcement that John Tomic is one of our new assistant coaches.

:lol:

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc.

    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
