I would have had ANB in over Bugg and M. Jones over Harmes. I like the idea of Pedo covering for Hogan.

Looking at the rest of the team, it really does look like a team for the future. Need to find a place for Salem.

And Melksham 

Best outs for the year

Big statement - Unfortunately his old man has blight on his career which I do not think defined him - but otherwise Steven Stretch was a great player  - good skills, fast, but could take a very good mark which I dont think will be Billy's go - that's not to say Billy will not be a good player

What blight do you speak of? Getting the lemonade and ending up at Fitzroy?

Ever heard of the phrase "train smarter not harder"?  Of course there's a line, but it's not like Rance was down at the pub every day while his teammates were training, it's pretty obvious he was keeping himself in shape.  You wouldn't even be hearing about this if Richmond were in finals contention...I'll bet you the Hawks have a few exceptions for some of their players too and I'll bet that it's not purely based on age and health.  How often do they make exceptions for Cyril? Of course the leadership group must set an example but it's not necessarily first on, last off...that's like saying the bloke who stays back at work the latest (probably just to impress his boss) must be the hardest worker and best performer.

There are a range of cultural sensitivities when it comes to managing indigenous players. Using Cyril is a poor comparison to Rance.

Self flagellation not enough for you?

What can I say, I'm a masochist. It was like watching a car crash. Morbid fascination

Ugh.

Watching recording of the game. 

Ugh. 

Vow never to start a "I will" thread again

Jeez, from what I'm reading not sure if I should watch the recording...

Do I bother to watch the replay?

The frustrating thing is we been starting well early in most of the games we have lost recently.

That's true. So add to my previous statement a '4-quarter effort'. 

All the well-worn cliches - just win the bloody game!

Chiillax Dude.

We just have to roll up and it will happen.

 

Forgive my paranoia, but that's exactly the attitude I worry about.

Everyone's a bit cocky for my liking - feels like pre-Essendrug again. 

I hope we have learned from that kind of dangerous mindset and put the clamps on early.

Touch worried, as my dad wants to come, and he only shows up when he thinks we're almost guaranteed to win. 

His last appearance was to watch us cream the Dons...

Fair-Weather-Father? 

Lol, pathetic attempt at milking by Thomas! 

Go Bears 

Go......Norf

Yawn...

Yet again, and needless to say, a MUST win tomorrow.

No matter what else happens this year, we MUST finish above the [censored] Filth. It's making my skin crawl just thinking about it. 

Just [censored] off Collingwood

I hate Bartel... I had picked a winning margin of 19 points in my Demonland tipping and he goes and ruins it with that last minute goal!

ARRRGGGHHH, me too! I'm coming 3rd in the work tipping - only by %. If he hadn't of kicked that goal I'd be 1st! :/

Yes BBO! Geographical dyslexia drives me insane!!

Geelong's theme song has a rubbish crescendo 

At this time of year and given Caseys finals prospects, I wonder if selections would ever be made with the VFL team in mind?
