Why do you ask for forgiveness Jack? I take what you said (ie, shooting from the hip) in the positive sense, unless of course I am totally misinterpreting your meaning.

Yeah, c'mon tell the story.

No one individual, or group should be held accountable for draft choices, you pick the player you think is the most suitable for you when it comes to your choice. Sometimes you will get it right, sometimes wrong, get over it, no one is going to make the right decision every time. Were we fully aware of Toumpas' bad hips at the time we picked him? If so then we clearly thought he was still the best player available. What do you think happened to the Portland Trail Blazers recruiters in 1984 when they took Sam Bowie (who?) at pick 2 when Michael Jordan and Charles Barkley went at picks 3 and 5 respectively? Nothing, they picked who they believed was the best available, even though they were aware that he had serious leg problems. Give Toumpas a chance, I still think he will be a very good long term Demon. And we need players like him.

Hey SWYL, I would hate to see what you would be saying if you were a Tiges supporter vis - a - vis Tambling being picked before Franklin. Murder and mayhem methinks!

It wasn't Grade 4, it was Grade 3, I got over it just last year!

Yes, well what is stopping you Red, do it for the team.

Well that is what Jack seems to be doing, just bowling along in a hypostatic way.

Field umpires in the vicinity of $150,000 if they do all finals, boundary and goalies, about $60,000.

Maybe learning the proper interpretation of the rules and how they should be applied assiduously.

No, his Gramma does!

Maybe spent too log out at sea Ernie?

He is a determined and resourceful young man who has a passion for the game. From a positive point of view, (sick of the never ending negativity about us) I believe he will return and play an important role in our future success.
