pineapple dee

Je ne comprend pas le francaise !!!! Sacre bleu !!!! Luckily James got a bit of practice with the French tongue whilst on his French sojourn. He can help the players out.

I'm tipping the "keyboard heroes " on here have never kicked a football in anger for the Melbourne football club. So........ Yeah you may be right there mo. Well thought out !!!!!! Back to the thrust of the thread, good riddance to Billy Boofhead. He was an embarrassment and on of the principal reasons I stopped watching that nonsense a long time ago.

So do we all. It's his most memorable attribute.

Let's not have any derogatory comments about pineapples thanks.

Why exactly ???? Mc Kernan was suspended during the season, was inelligible for the Brownlow and never had it draped around his neck. Of course since these morons at the AFL award votes in each game to players who have previously been suspended (occasionally ) this stupid situation will repeat in perpetuity ( of the aggrieved ineligible player polling well in the Brownlow )

Sex Sex Sex.................. I've had it up to here.............. but not recently.

Lets not have any of this self doubt nonsense. Just believe it and DO IT !!!!! Be The ball !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

There is no Port Left Bub. Sadly

Weideman got stuck in. He dropped a couple of marks but he wasn't Robinson Caruso there. Got brushed aside a couple of times but he was willing. Needs to put on some condition moved well and there's a lot to like about him. Hulett was one I couldn't identify but I heard his name often so he was in the thick of the action. Sorry, can't say more than that.

I took one for the team this morning. Went out to Casey to have a look at the boys. 14 Celsius so no heat stroke for me or anyone else. I couldn't identify all the players but will give you what I can. Trengrove was involved in a drill with two trainers where he kicked out from goals to them, ran out, gathered the ball wheeled around and had a ping for goal. Looked good doing that. Later he was running the boundary with a bit of pace and being encouraged as he passed Nathan Jones. Moving well and body,legs etc all looked solid. He's not so far off I think. Petracca walked passed clicking his fingers and tapping his chest. Moving ok but taking it easy. Not involved in the main business. Garlett looked slick in the sprints and composed and classy in match simulation. Hogan has a very intimidating look to him but retains that laconic air. Bigger, strong hands and despite the wet conditions competed well. Tyson was solid in the conditions. He was moving freely. Presented well and used his possessions to good effect. He impressed me. Oliver- had a good look at him. He was easy to spot. Keen as mustard, his kicks and hand passes about 90% effective. Made good choices and made it as easy for his team mates as they could want. I get the feeling he could be huge value in the main season. In comparison to Neal Bullen and even Stretch he needs to build up but when that happens, he'll be an awesome prospect. jack viney Everything you expect him to be. Super competitive moving well hates to be beaten. Very prominent in all passages of play in which he was involved. Expect a big year from Jack. Maximus was massive this morning. He launched himself vertical at one point to punch the ball out of play to stop Gus marking. For good measure he gave Gus a hip and shoulder as he walked past him back to the centre of the ground. Nice bit of agro from Max . Not Usain Bolt but he was a huge presence and I sense that him being around will be super important for all the mids this year. Took some big grabs and not bad by foot in the conditions. Ask me about others. I might be able to answer.

Whoever it was who said in a North Melbourne game " Hepburn springs,German shepherds" Commentary gold!!!

Loved it when Tommy told us from the rooms "Daicos has got a groin" That sort of info you just don't get any more. Bring him back !!!!!

BT is not El Chapo....... More like El Gordo

I was at a St Kilda game all those years ago and the Saints fans were making horrible comments about Billy. Why are people so unkind??? Did we ever make reference to anything sordid relating to St Kilda ???

A banana daiquiri will be fine.

BBO, do we both have to appear in the same room to dispel this particular myth??? If so you will have to buy me a drink too.

BBO and I are different beasts I assure you. I only aspire to a handful of BBO's proclivities and tendencies. We are as one in our love of the dees though.

Personally speaking GP, I couldn't give a rat's hat about your welfare.

You're a better man than me bitters. My wife would say the only thing that makes me a handyman is that I live in the same house. I am useful with left handed screwdrivers though.

Yes Dee L, that's what I meant. Idiot sheets. We don't think James is the sharpest tool in the shed so it's an eerily appropriate name.

Related to Graeme ?? Not sure yet.

Ken Osborne wore number 36.

A role for Tania during the interview could be to hold up enlarged copies of her notes for James to read at the appropriate moments. She has copious notes don't forget.

I have two questions for James. How have you managed to keep your hair so gorgeous throughout the entire crisis ?? When is Tanya going to dump your arze ?

Melbourne we're not guilty of tanking according to our friends at the AFL, only of bringing the game into disrepute. How is it that we can still get this distinction wrong ??
