maybe magnetic headed darts, p-man ?

you skiing in the east of france` again?

yes hope any players who fail to go at their turn get free holiday to Casey... we have the talent now to covert most. now lets find the 'team' & the 'hard' once again. oh, & if I hadn't said before... you put your left foot in, your left foot out, your left foot in, & then shake it all about... its time to get some of these skilled deliverers to hop in. # I hope we don't make the sdame mistake to the Weird-man, the has taken wattsd before him.

the problem with the 2 car teams strategy, is the strategies... it brings all sorts of tactics from the pits literally. riding shotgun for team mate, holding up traffic. whilst team-mate makes a break. I want to see drivers drive to win, & not to aid their favourite compatriot. I like your thoughts on the petrol restrictions & to allow design to be creative, but within a $pend cap on development.

I don't mind the telemetry, as long as its only sending from the car, & not receiving... so the teams can't change mapping, up or down, possibly [censored]-ling the non-preferred driver. one car garages, with more teams on the grid, & cars built to survive the race. & then we will see racing & no team rules or sponsors favourites in teams.

the real problem is the inequity of the real world. the kids,,,, with their mums, see the real world as having big wealth over seas..... IMO, with this the game changes,,, from a "for the heart', to a, "from the head" approach for wealth from the families.\ ......the status angle has changed, from being a community hero, to being full of 'Bling' & 'StreetCred'. we are losing the triba lism & commmunity feel & love, for a fist full of dollars & gold chains. its more about individualism now. the game needs less money & a whole lot more t l c.............less TV & more community participation & spirit. its not about being a cricket star anymore, ( see warnie ) but becoming a tv/media megastar. the downside of the 'kerry empire'....

I agree, to have a strong competition you need an even spread of competative talent & then even-ish results not conjured ones; with competition of full spirited-ness & some strong vigour. to make the hackles stand. the game is being tarnished by our current political correct femaleness of our recent competitors, which IMO has some roots in higher education... there aint enough cave man bravado going on out in the battle... its all a little bit placid to me. did d argass plan this as well I wonder ???

yes its become just another Brand game instead of the real thing. all about the driver/racers & their expertise, including some mechanical knowledge & racecraft. the engineers need to stay out of it during the Race & do their work between races. Thats where they should be... its not a Moon mission for NASA.

agreed AKA... not so inspiring. like most pro sport in recent years, the money people seem to be wrecking all topline sports. they all seem to be sterilized of creativeness, & programmed for a certain person to win the race all the time... for chrissies sake, lets get back to one car teams, PLEASE !!! then there cannot be team rules, to Fuuukk up the sport.

Happy to have a tough hard rugged Melbourne,,, at the risk of missing a boomer harvey type??? (small runner) Lets get hard & tough, & have the opposition run for cover, before we start adding the Flowers & Alan Johnson's into our new hard earned ruggedness. the new foundations need to be set rock hard, before we start building, & then adding the finer finish features.

I hope he's gone by P-3

or,,, he does not want to go to the bummers ?

P-3 Weid P-7 McKay/Mathieson

I'm looking forward to Faulkner maturing. He strikes me as the partnership breaker... like one SWaugh was. not comparing them, just saying that the partnership breakers, when nothing will happen, are GOLD. his change up is good IMO. its not about stats for me, as much as effectiveness, as that bowling break-thru bowler, but he has to bat down a bit, & earn his keep. know nothing of Stoinis, haven't heard, nor seen. ........... maybe Faulkner is a bit like Warner was, a bit of a 'bloke', who needs to wake up, for his talents sake. .

I think your right AAC. we need Sid's RArm experience, & Patto's venom & speed, & left handed bat.. but also, how's Faulkner going this current season? we need him to take a step.

I awoke at daybreak n pain with irritable bowel syndrome, got up, took some med's, & eventually settled down & fell asleep again, till 11.00am. saw the news on telly in bed, still zonked, trying to find the time of morning? I'm becoming numb to this stuff, I've learnt to accept pain, & even expect it, & my tolerances for pain are extremely High. so I tend to just ignore it. but this leaves you sort of detached. .... but I feel sad for the french people, whom I've loved... since going there 1992; with an expectation of rude arrogant snobs. I found friendliness & warmth, with smiles, cheer & a gentle warm people. Love the place. viva la france`

..... 'saturation', will make it less palatable, to the material set. whom want everything now, on a platter, in a rush of gush.

Khawaja is surprising atmo,, seems totally different batting list is so far looking up

I've liked the look of this kid since earlier in this season from the video of him I saw. looks really busy winning plenty of footy. reminds me of scully from back in his day a bit. .... but scully I was more concerned with, just didn't see the x -factor in $cull. haven't sen enough of parish to define the differences but get the felling he has more feel for the game? just a sense i have? However I'm more concerned right now, with finding a quality partner/foil for Hogan, one who is tall enough & with enough mongrel in his makeup, to crash in as a follower as well.

& to think I initially wanted Wines & Viney or Stringer & Wines, but got talked around as I hadn't done any spotting.

who would carltoon prefer to have nowa days, Judd, or Kennedy?

all I want for Christmas is Weid in the Melbourne Xmas stocking. after that grab a mid.

this alone is a part of our soft culture, expecting one or two, to be hard & the others to suit themselves, IF they are skilled. Not good enough this way. Players must be well rounded, & 'go' when its the turn to 'go'. ... we have seen in recent times the kids we recruited who entered a culture with senior players like, yze, robbo, green, bruce, davey,... the kids like newton, watts, morton, bennell, cook, gysberts, howe, toump; .....the culture learn't from the get go, lasts thru careers, & is like soap scum on the shower glass, you can never really get it all out. .

... a team cannot have too many strong marks around the forwardline, or in the centre of the ground for that matter, as well in transition.
