So what about us ?!!! Disappointed about Maric but I would hope that there are valid reasons behind the omission and that we will see him extremely soon. Otherwise there might be a mess being made in here !!!

I'm not sure what you are reading is excitement bob...... Apprehension, confusion or possibly even fear, but I don't think there is much excitement !!!

But isn't "hope" all we really have at this point? I mean we really have no idea if the boys we are recruiting, and hopefully developing (thanks RR) will become this feted "Premiership" nucleus. We don't know if we have one now just in its infancy, and the reality is that we can only cling to the hope that these kids, like Maric (who I think is going to be something) and Grimes etc can form what we need to reach that ever elusive ground. But it has been so long, and we've had so many swings and misses that despite the number of top line draftees we faithful in here all rely on a little hope in the players, the coaches and their movement forward, towards the promised land.

Interesting, I haven't seen mine yet !!!

Improved his ranking by over 30 spots along the way as well....... And then got beat in Monte Carlo by a lunatic Russian !!!

You'd leave us (and Wrecker) '45? I must say I am a little disappointed :D !!! Apparently, if only other clubs were willing to aim low. That might help !!!

......Or we could come back to reality !!!

Very cute '45 !!!

Truth is we all hope he is this '25, but only time will tell on that...... However I am with you in that right now he is doing what he seems to know how to do, and that is to build and develop a team. This takes time and patience, and unfortunately we are just going to have to wait and see, with our fingers crossed, that he knows what he is doing and that success will follow.

Colin is not getting beaten up for anything other than his apparent total lack of commitment to the game and the club 007...... There have been no abusive posts and no personal attacks that I have seen, just disagreements on whether he as still deserving of a spot in our team. And as for showing our players respect, this is delightful and loving compared to what other players (& their supporters) have copped in the past!!!

That would be great, especially if he actually seemed to give a damn ........

Sad but true, next......

....Or, you know, our team !!!

A good example of this was last Saturday night when Sydney beat Hawthorn...... Given the fact that the Hawks were down on ruckmen, and the one that was out there was being completely pantsed, they at times during the course of the game put Roughead into the centre bounce, and I was at the game and there were Hawks fans in the vicinity who were having hissy fits at the thought of him being thrown into a position as specialised as rucking in the middle. He was appalling, truth be told, and not just because he could get no where near Jolly, but because his timing and leaping were all over the place and was crashing down hard on his knees on more than one occasion. He could well have been fine to cover the gaping hole around the ground but he was all at sea in the middle and it looked like it could have ended rather badly.

Congratulations to Aaron for his 100th game..... Hopefully it will be a stellar performance and one that will be remembered. And with all luck we will get to see a lot more of that "flash" in games to come!!!

Yeah the players code probably kicked in on that testmony, but according to the report delivered on Fox Sports tonight Motlop was asked if he "punched" Adam Hunter and he said he didn't then Hunter said he didn't, and then Motlop went on to amend this opinion by saying something along the lines that it was "more of an upper cut" !!! Anyway he was cleared all the same...... Daniel Motlop free to play, Adam McPhee suspended

Agreed......

Hey <_< !!!

.....and subsequently fail horribly !!!

That was fantastic...... That bub of theirs has really inherited some extraordinarily good genes !!!

Desperation ?!!!

You will never be able to get that through to Freak, Rusty...... Brad could kick ten goals while finding a cure for cancer, and then save a newborn from a flooded river, and Freak would still throw abuse and disloyal vitriol at him with glee. I have long been a defender of Miller and will continue to be so until someone, anyone else becomes available to do the job that he currently performs for this team. Amen Dusty.......

Very possibly harry, Origin is enormous for the league and it's a very passionate time for fans. I would love to see my team win the Premiership (and we all would no question), but to see NSW beat up on Queensland, well that is a thing of beauty !!!

Oh sure, these are almost concurrent to the debt demolition.......

Oh and the Swans are well down on memberships as well...... There are not too many people (average folk type people, not those that you always hear from) that actually want a second team up here. Yeah the Bunnies have done really well both in sponsorships (which Russell helps with inordinately) and memberships. They have built a great community program up and it is now up and running, predominantly for Aboriginal and inner city kids (which are usually lower income) and this generates enormous good will, as it should, and therefore income. Oh you're right my friend, but I would miss the beach and the sun and that kind of stuff !!!
