At 15 min mark of the last BM's stats are 4 handballs.

From the 'AFL Boys of Summer' in today's little paper: December flyer Colin Sylvia. "He is setting the standard with his training performances and attention to detail." - fitness manager Joel Hocking.

Apologies if this has been posted elsewhere, but I couldn't see it. I don't think Mark Robinson is noted for any passion towards the Dees. I like the last line: 'The MFC was off and running' http://www.heraldsun.com.au/sport/afl/tom-...f-1225804408141

Emma Quayle said on SEN this morning that she thought Ball would get all the way through to the Pies. Part of her reasoning was that a number of clubs are trying to 'scare' other clubs into taking Ball with their earliest pick in order to free up another youngster. Personally, I reckon with Junior, Jones, Flash and Col we have enough senior or mature mid-field players to mentor any recruits.

KC - whilst on the subject of Casey FC, I was interested to read about the club's Sandown Classic Day. Myself and a couple of Demon mates used to attend the Noble Park FC day at the Classic and had a great time. We were sad that it fell over. I was wondering if there was an opening next year for a table or two of Demonlanders to attend, and if so you might remember to spread the word? I understand if it's strictly a 'closed' function.

I've had a few heated arguments with my mate who reckons we wasted our pick. I'm convinced, more so since reading this article, that Jack will be alright.

FFS let's not have the crew neck 't-shirt' style that the Pies have. Looks shouse.

Brock's decision explained here This will be a win for both parties. Good luck Chook.

I avoided posting to the 'Farewell Robbo post' mainly because he lost me some years ago when he became a 'one trick pony', spending more time the ground (following another speccy attempt) than on his feet chasing. Slagging the club that gave you the opportunity to play footy at the highest level serves no purpose Russell :angry: .
