I got a phone call from the club last night, enquiring if is was going to the Debt Demolition Luncheon, I told the young lady unfortunately due to work that I couldn't make it. I did ask however how many had already accepted and she answered 300.

Which means even at the minimum qualifying donation of $500.00 a seat that is at least $150,000.00, absolutely sensational.

I'll be there so I can provide a 3 word analysis if required

And thanks for stopping by once a week to write it and contribute little else.

You're welcome

At least make your 3 words for "brevity" accurate. I bet you feel important being able to provide your "analysis" after each game though, so hey, go right ahead. And for the record... I'll read what I please, even if it means sifting through your tripe.

Don't you mean 'make your 3 word analysis agree with my point of view' ?

Thanks for taking the time out of your important day to read my'tripe '

Kiwi's will be hard to beat. Have had 3 or 4 players at Victorian and Queensland clubs this year who are developing nicely.

My son is actually playing in a practice match against the ' Peace Team ' this week .

Saw that early this morning - the game was irrelevent - only the vote and scors given. to show how irrelevent we are becoming, Dromana football club got a feature ahead of our game.

But if you offer up the rubbish and poor game plan we did yesterday, then we deserve it.

The Age actually did report the game and gave votes to Bell and Whelan , whilst declaring Garland's game as 'brilliant '.

I suggest that the HeraldSun and Age journalists were getting drunk together and not actually at the game .

Because they either state the complete obvious or they are completely wrong. For example:

To say Stef Martin looked "lost", yet Warnock "tried" is wrong. Not only is it wrong to say that Warnock tried but Martin didn't, but no backline would have stemmed the flow today. Did you put this into perspective? Obviously not.

Same goes for the forwards. You get stuck into Newton and Bate, yet the disposal to them was TERRIBLE all day. What do you expect them to do? Forwards rely on good deilvery and even though they didn't get it today, both at least made an effort to provide a contest, Newton especially. Again, no perspective. Sure they didn't get much of it and they only kicked a goal each, but they didn't exactly get decent deilvery.

At least you got stuck into our midfield, which as always was horrible. Happy now... joe"girl"?

Well 'nosebleed' , if I wanted to write an essay on the merits or otherwise of each player's performance then I'd be wasting space and energy so I restrict myself to 3 words for brevity , and to provide WHAT I BELIEVE TO BE ,the overall sense of the players' performances ON THE DAY - note the thread's title .

There are 3 things you can do now as far as I'm concerned :

- offer to pay me MORE for this weekly 'tripe'and I promise I'll agree with your summation of each player's performance .

- don't offer me the Archibald Prize .

- don't read the 'tripe ' again and just present your own breakaway analysis.

: flicks ponytails over shoulders to indicate grumpiness and reapplies makeup :

I don't know about that.

Hey Nosebleed , what's your problem with my comments ?

Why do you refer to them as 'tripe' ? If you don't care for my comments then don't read them !

I can't wait till I can afford these events.

Obviously the club can't either

Newton will certainly be a valuable player for us for many years IMO .

He has had a poor year because of injury and suspension - obviously being unable therefore to gain momentum .

There are , however ,giant upsides to the guy who is extremely young and inexperienced in football terms . He is very tall and extremely agile for his size; very smart ( albeit lazy ) on the field ; a huge , and usually accurate kick ;and with a body that is ripe for developing over the summer .

You don't give up on players of his size when there is so much to gain with patience !

Greg Healy - same build , same bullocking attack , and very similar kicking style .

The fact that Green wasn't voted into the leadership group this season by his peers suggests all may not necessarily be well amongst the players if he is made skipper.

Bartram - tried but failed

Bate - disappeared when needed

Bell - comprehensively poor game

Bruce - year's worst game

Buckley - thrilling first half

Davey - missing too often

Dunn - was rarely sighted

Garland - very quiet game

Jamar - little to enthuse

C.Johnson - continued his renaissance

P.Johnson -easily our best

Jones - a better game

McDonald - rusty but valuable

Maric - commendable first effort

Martin - was rarely noticed

Miller - good first half

Morton - some classy touches

Newton - freakish but flawed

Sylvia - worked into game

Warnock - a poor game

Whelan - tough and uncompromising

Valenti - enjoyed his game

How many AFL games you played joeboy? THE KIDS 18!! Give him a few years.. his got class written all over him.

Hey Twerp ,just read my first thread !

Thank you to all those who have made disparraging remarks about me and this thread .

How about you all read the opening lines of my opening comment before you all jump to the defence of poor young Cale ?

IN case you missed it I will go over my points carefully .

JOEBOY NOTES THAT MORTON IS YOUNG , SKILLED AND HAS PLENTY OF UPSIDE TO HIM . .

NOTE - No mention is ever made of him being a crap player !!!!!

Joeboy sees Morton's brother [censored] himself and fumble and turn over the ball for Hawthorn every time a StKilda player puts pressure on him .

The next day Joeboy sees Cale do the exact same thing after quarter time against the Fockers when the pressure was exerted .

Joboy reports that he is dismayed to think that there is a propensity for the Morton brothers to [censored] themselves and turnover the ball when confronted by opposition pressure .

Goodbye that is all .

BANG!

I heard from my sister's boyfriend's uncle's neighbour who is an Iraqi refugee who lives in Darwin that Cale Morton actually has hands for feet, and so every kick he does is actually a handball, and he should be commended for getting it so far.

BANG!

By the way, is stupidity genetic?

So what's this guy's name ?

BTW just read my first thread and don't get carried away with your vitriol .
