re draft molan

I fully expect us to make a huge play for someone like Anjes Everitt, with our unexpected windfall.

Personally, Lake would be a great pick up for our club. But. To totally screw over a club like the Bulldogs, does not sit well with me. If it was Carlton or Collingwood, definately. I know it is early days, but I think we are on the right track with our backline as it is imho. Do we want players who will sell out to the highest bidders?

Glad to see he's showing finally something. But let's see him do it in some meaningful games, not just a few dead rubber, end of season matches. As far as oppotunities go. I think he has had more than his fair share.

I had her down as Julia Gillard on helium!

I think Tingay actually went through that plate glass window early in his career.

Kelli Underwood- Most annoying voice Umpiring - Is getting worse

If this is true, it is very disturbing. I've supported the Dees for 30 years, and I can't think of a worse period in that time. I sincerely hope we cannot sink any lower than we are ATM. I feel we are completely rudderless! Sorry, don't mean to be a drama queen, but obviously something has to change in the leadership group.

I think trying to get a kick, would be higher on his list of priorities than captaining our club. Anyway, I think even Col Sylvia has passed him on that agenda.

Don't expect any selections that make sense. I've given up on that. Dropping Cheney and Valenti after just one game was just typical of the selection comittee this season. I'm sorry but i've lost faith in what they are trying to achieve. As i've said on another thread (and was deleted) I fully expect another 9 floggings by the end of the season. I'm fine with that. I can see the big picture. What p****s me off, is playing kids like Valenti(who I don't think has been given a fair go) and Cheney, and dropping them after 1 game. After watching last nights game, it just re-enforced my beleif that our senior players aren't up to it. It's a poor reflection on them when a kid with 8 games experience (Grimes) is perceived as our on field leader.

Oh. I was going to call you on it because my mate got up something similar. But he didn't run off with his tail between his legs though. I just yelled back that it was funny the first time I heard it in 1986.

Jill, you need to eat some cement, and HTFU! Like it or not, we are going to cop some fearful floggings in the remainder of this season. Hard cold facts are that our kids will eventually drop off due to their light frames, limited pre seasons etc. That happens with most teams. The good teams can cover that with their more seasoned and experienced players. Unfortunately we don't have that luxury. Our senior, experienced, top, call them what you like, players in my opinion, are simply not good enough. Compare Geelong's top 5 players, Ablett, Johnson, Bartel, Selwood and Corey. Then ours Green, Bruce, Davey, Sylvia and maybe Moloney, and it gives you a fair idea why we are 16th. But that is a cross we have to carry! We will be bottom 4 for at least another 3 years in my opinion. Personally I can put up with what was dished up in that 3rd qtr. This is not a quick fix Bailey is doing here. But when it starts to bear fruit , I can guarantee we will have sustained success. So Jill..........suck it up.

Was that in the third level around the 50 metre line on the interchange side?

Was at the game last night with a few Bombers supporters, and it was the general concensus that the umpiring standard, overshadowed what was an entertaining first half of footy. But my mate had an insightful answer as to why it happens week after week. His theory is that the game is just too quick for them, and 90% of the time they are just guessing with their calls. Normally I would take what he says with a grain of salt. But the further the game went on, the more his theory gained merit. If this was the case, you would have to say we need more umpires out there, but I think that would be disasterous as there are already too many ego's out there ATM. So I don't know what the answer is. Except maybe sack Geishan, and get more annonymous men in white. Remember the 'old days' when an umpire did a good job, you wouldn't notice him out there. When was the last time you didn't notice an umpire?

'Collingwood gets a bad case of the Jack' might be more beneficial to their supporters, as it will give them an answer to that irritating itch they've had for a while.

Reckon Shane Valenti is pretty stiff as well. Would have liked him to get at least 6 games in a row to see if he has anything to offer in the future.
