The Bugger is the better player. More consistent and gets up the oppo noses too.

Fear not. There is rich assortment of numpties from all clubs regularly calling in to SEN.

There is a bit of "cargo cult science" to this, confusing cause and effect. (I am agreeing with you, Goff.) Bailey's thing was to get a group of kids and "get games into them". Because flag winning teams had groups of (ex-) kids that had played together for a long time. Voila! The winning formula! Or: could it be that they played together for a long time because they were GOOD PLAYERS and didn't get dropped? Unfortunately under Bailey all our group learned was how to get the [censored] kicked out of them week in and week out. But I emphasise that I don't condemn Bailey. He was working under constrained circumstances and we never got to find out how good a coach he was. Having said all that, I think Darwin's Theory has more substance to it than cargo cult science. But ultimately, cohesive or not, your players must have the skill level to be able to execute. Otherwise you'll be cohesive at the bottom of the ladder.

Top or bottom? You sexy thing. Seriously, you will have more luck posting this on craigslist than demonland.

Well, he's hardly going to say "Oh, Oscar. Well.... he's got promise but gee, he's not exactly Matt Scarlett is he? Christ, I hope we don't have to play him too often this season." It's all pre-season fluff and can't be taken seriously.

Ken'ts problem is that "Jimmy" Hannan is now in front of him. BenKen and JKH should be even more worried.

"Just another win" ....... ahhhhhhh sweet words. Could get used to that.

We're just going to have to accept that we're the best supporters in the business. You're going to have to harden up if you're Jack Watts and your 4 year old is Jack Viney. I wouldn't want to scold him for not finishing his veggies! Great to see kids getting involved and enjoying themselves.

Too right. I believe that next week we will calmly, unemotionally and in a controlled fashion TOTALLY DESTROY THE BLUES!!!

So it was Riewoldt who went down on the dodgy Etihad surface. Surely we can say the hoodoo is broken?

Goaddamn, I'm laughing out loud. we are TOO GOOD!

"Here's your ice ... here's your cocaine ... here's your speed .... this was recommended by Cuz, by the way ... here's your angel dust ..."

Is it too early to say ... we are just too good for them?

Woah! I feel like a glass of champers. Be careful!

Kent and JKH now very nervous

Brayshaw nearly invisible. I'm worried that he's peaked already.

"Maverick" should be enough reason to hate the entire team

Too much air everywhere including between the ears

Lewis is very clever. No way hsould get free for that

Get yourself to Brazil while there's still time

Well done captain. Get it in there quickly

Just the one?

We look fierce and slick

"...he tries to get a fist on it but it's like a bar of soap ... he's tackled in a bear hug ... and he's caught holding it." "It's play on ... he takes a bounce --- ooh, that's kicking in danger!" "You could throw a blanket over a dozen players. The umpire says give it to me." No wonder people don't like going to Etihad!

Yesterday All my turf sods seemed so far away Now they've got me ready for the play O I believe in yesterday Suddenly I'm all clodded like I used to be I had hoped Adele would ruin me O I believe in yesterday Why ... they ... close the roof I don't know My grass can't grow Play...ers... hack with studs I'll be mud Like yesterday..ay..ay..ay.. Yesterday I was totally unfit for play Now they've grassed me over in one day O I believe in yesterday
