Mazer Rackham

Oh, that's why his tour only went for 4 hours. He couldn't take any more.

Or worse!!!

1. He's terrified of the Eagles mascot. But he thinks the Freo mascot seems like a top bloke. 2. At West Coast, they laugh at people who smoke cigarettes. That's what your grandparents smoke. 3. He can't convince the Eagles' players that he's not actually an "east coast guy". 4. He's hoping at Freo, they'll let him drive a real ship.

Jesse (in tears): this ..... this is the most beautiful day of my football career! Goodwin: I know mate! Tell me about it. We got 5 and 6 AND Gus's brother, AND Freo have to pay US half your salary! Jesse: w ....... what??? Goodwin: Now f**k off back to to purple freak land, the rest of us are going down the pub to celebrate. Other players: yeah, f**k off Docker! P*ss off turncoat! etc etc [Jesse drives back across the Nullabor playing Taylor Swift songs all the way]

If a listener called in and suggested such a thing, those numbskulls would start talking about it. But they're still numbskulls.

They've got Hutchy in their ear, saying you f*ckers have to fill 3 hours of this. Make it exciting, sell ads, turn it up to 11 or I'll sack you on air. So they have to flap their jaws and not admit that they're blue skying and outright guessing. That they're ignorant doesn't help. It's like when CNN have some breaking news. "Something happening in Des Moines Ohio but we're not sure yet. Jim?" "Kathy, I'm here in Des Moines and for sure something big is happening but we have no information yet. We have here some random bystander who also doesn't know what's going on. Sir, can you tell us about the thing that none of us know about?" It's what you do when you have to make noise about something when you don't know anything about said something. I heard that one. Mr Machine Gun Mouth said he had "smooth" disposal and I nearly drove off the road. Many former SEN listeners have taken up your advice in advance. Ratings are trending down.

Simple. The only way to stop African gangs, and send violent crims away for long long sentences, is to build this training ground. Mr Law and Order will be on board in less time than it takes to put a sledgehammer through someone's front door. Good news. Now the total number of things that Mr Guy knows something about is up to One. (or Two.)

Jesse has to stay. Health care for smoking related respiratory diseases is so much better on the east coast.

In olden time movies, this is where they cut to a train going into a tunnel and left the rest to your imagination.

I bet he didn't smile, made you pay, told you the beer was no good, then drove your car home leaving you to walk. Just shows the kind of guy he is! We're better off without him (in your dreams). In my dream, we got 3 first rounders and 2 players and a guarantee that Ross Lyon would never coach the Demons.

Absolutely right. Nothing like a bit of competition to ratchet up the urgency in the sales process. I reckon GCS might enjoy a trade of May + players or May + picks for Hogan. And good surf up there in SE Qld.

Oh my darling Oh my darling Oh my darling GLG Jess is lost and gone forver Oh my darling GLC

The May thing is a bit like us with Hogan. Have a bloke who doesn't want to be there, hanging around for a year, poisoning the atmosphere. Then get less back for him in 12 months than you can now. Or, cauterise the wound now and get in someone who's 100% committed. Best value for him is right now, so, trade him right now. Why sit around for a year hoping that something vaguely nice might happen. It's a super crop every year, if you have good list managers and talent spotters. Otherwise you'll manage to pick out the Toumpases and Mortons no matter what riches are on offer.

Are you volunteering? Coz I can spot a flaw in your plan

He seemed to bulk up in the off season and it may have harmed his development while he gets used to his new body. Yeah he bombs it but that can be fixed. Seeing what Goodwin has done for players whose cards were marked on D'land ... eg JKH, ANB ... I reckon he's still got a big future at MFC.

Breakdown of coaches votes. Two possible outcomes (I've bunched together Gawn & Oliver as it's not possible to tell which got what). Weid 5 + 4 Harmes 5 + 3 Gawn/Oliver 4 + 0 Oliver/Gawn 3 + 1 TMac 2 + 1 Angus 2 + 0 Weid 5 + 4 Harmes 5 + 3 Gawn/Oliver 4 + 0 Oliver/Gawn 2 + 2 TMac 3 + 0 Angus 1 + 1 So Weid & Harmes rated highly -- all good -- but Angus not? Maybe Goodwin gave him 2 and Old Spiteful gave him 0. And Gawn or Oliver ... one coach no votes!

Not counting the 96, yes 96 pages of game day thread on bigfooty?

For those among us who may be recovering from severe MFCSS, or suffer relapses, I wish to reassure that this does not mean that Hogan has drowned in a pool, nor are we wasting a draft pick on Nicolas Cage.

Interesting point

We rose to the occasion and were far too good. and fantastic to see our crowd was bigger than the night before's! Only empty seats I could see were right up next to the scoreboard where presumably you can't see the whole ground. Our last two games had us primed perfectly in every way. Theirs, the opposite. Second q, they were close to outright panic. After 1/4 time their game was all about nullifying us. That's partly why we were so off beam in our goal kicking. (Same why they were so bad too -- pressure.) But there was bugger all in their game about scoring themselves. It was more or less hoping that Hawkins would kick a bag. Captain Selwood saw off that threat. Watching Gawn, Oliver, Brayshaw, Harmes conversing and geeing each other up before ballups. At the start of the year, who would have picked this 4 as our starting midfield? Ablett looks like a footballer dismembered by mad scientists and sewn back together, badly. The "holy trinity" experiment has failed. He was in their team for finals success and it counted for nothing. He is like a Lewis or Vince gone one year too many. Still has his footy brain, knows where to go, what to do with it, but can't quite pull it off any more. A little tacker next to me stood on his seat and sang the song at the top of his voice each time all the way through. Felt very happy for him.

Haven't we already got a boy named sue on dland?

"Darling" Weideman Because there's no way we can have a "Murray" Weideman at our club.

Next week we will take a slash on some Mayblooms

This morning, Eddie McGuire's toast tastes like ashes and his coffee is exceptionally bitter. Moore was supposed to be their Weideman but he picked the wrong father-son hero.
