grey wolf

Just thought Jennings would see it as a learning curve...

Aflx is gotta be better than a summer of cricket... TEAM 1 Back 2 ...... Wagner and Hunt Mid 3...... Stretch Hogan(capt) and Bugg Front 2 ..... Spargo and Hannan Inerchange 3 .....Pedo JKH Harmes TEAM 2 Reserve 4 ..... Fritsch Keilty Baker Melksham(capt)

There are blue and red rainbows in my rainforest here out back of Mullumbimby and I smoke it as an omen that the dees might just have arrived...all hinging on one player stepping up for me and the coaches giving him license to impose himself ...and he is Hogan... if he can become our cameron our Franklin our reiwoldt we could be unstoppable... the depth and age of the list behind him is powerful..

Sorry but did I wake up late... or maybe I didn’t go down ... but aren’t there 4 dee players now tarnished with the offender brush ... the [censored] who is the subject better quickly own up to protect his team mates and then get on with his own defence ... isn’t that what TEAM means... the alleged offender can then run the gauntlet named but with the club and afl support... and star or not he has to suck up the distaste these allegations bring .. if he’s innocent then he needs to focus hard on clearing himself forget footy in 2018... and his teammates can move on..

Life is simple in the rainforest .... the coach says crawl and I crawl ... the coach says smoke this and I drag big time ... the coach says kill that sucker and I don’t even ask with what... you want to win a flag you have to believe the coach ... see bulldogs ... see tigers... seems to me this is now a big test for Goody our saviour...

Hey Goody! I’ve got me big boots and a bag of Mullumbimby Gold... let’s go campin’......

So D167 does that mean if all 44 of our list are fit and sober than 22 play for the Dees and 22 for Casey and all the Casey boys have to bugger off... they can come and share a cheroot with me at Byron...

Round 1 with depth... Back end Jetta (Baker). OMac (Petty) Lever (Smith) Hunt (McKenna). Frost (Keilty) Hibberd (Wagner) Midfield Lewis (Stretch) Brayshaw (Maynard) Vince (JKH) Gawn (King). Oliver (Vanders ). Viney (Balic) Front end ANB (Johnstone). Hogan. (Smith). Petracca. (Fritsch) Garlett (Spargo) Weed (Pedersen) TMac (Flipper) Changelings (players 19 - 25) Salem (Bugg). Tyson. (Harmes) Jones (Hannan ). Melksh am (Kent)

The Dees make it to the least day in September against the Swans ... here is our line up in the grannie..... Baker OMac Lever Hibberd Smith Hunt Lewis Brayshaw Vince Track Hogan Gartlett Spargo Weed TMac Gawn Oliver Viney I/C.... Jones Maynard Bugg Kent out injured...Frost Jetta Tyson Result.... 3/4 time Dees trail by a point!!!

29 Bailey 31 Ling 36 Petruccelle 47 Baker

I’m not much of a believer in reality, last I looked it was 1967, but ..pardon while I exhale...I am a big fan of incremental development. Given the club’s resources in coaching staff et al, I would be astounded if every player wasn’t expected .. no demanded that they improve deficiencies, black spots, skill sets, aerobic targets... I expect Bernie Vince to keep improving or else his time is up and he can go make a fortune selling real estate with that cheeky grin. The blue sky of my rainforest has no limit like Jesse, Olly, Gus, Track, Maxwell, Oscar, Lever, Viney......... in saying that and lighting another cheroot the big gain in ‘18 has surely got to be the game plan. The plan must demand improvement of players and coaches as it gets refined to the millimeter.... i’ll blow away now.. see ya..

Holding it in ....sorry need to exhale...the jack Watts thread doin my noggin in.. ooohhh the sweet smell of my cheroot backs ... nev Omar Lever Salem frosty hibbo and bernieeee mids .... TMac Ollie Viney Lewis gus xxxxxxxxx fronts .... ANB hulk trac Jeffy weeeed (my boy) inter.... jones hunt Tyson melksh emerg.... Gawn Baltic et al light my fire DA...

No matter how thick the smoke from my cheroot swirled today some truths are inescapable and wattsy will never be in premiership team nor will josh Jenkins so let jack go to wherever and take what you can pick 25 or 38 or 49 or 99 but let him be gone and the same goes for the other fourteen on our list who would never have got a game with the tigers today like jkh stretch Salem Wagner white Spencer Hulett Trengove tsmith pedo flippers Kent King Vanders

Watching the game today through a haze of cheroot smoke and the taste of an Asahi or three it seems obvious we need pace pressure and power and this boy was a rabbit in the headlights so pick 27 and nothing else but also plain to see wattsy is yesterday's hero so pick 29 form port would be okay and keep 10 for speed......

I went to the beach after that Saturday of woe. I took two litres of Dimple and a bag, well a sack really, of weed. The sooty oystercatchers and the local dolphins kept me informed on the misery of the demonlanders. I am in detox right now but am optimistically looking forward to the draft and my next cheroot. So BB how deep is our potential? Here's my take: 2018 best 22... Back 6 Jetta OMac LEVER Hunt TMac Hibberd Mid 6 Gawn Oliver Petracca Lewis Brayshaw GAFF Front 6 Melksham Hogan ANB Garlett Weed TRENGROVE Depential Backs.. Vince Salem Frost Smith McKenna Wagner Mids... Jones Viney Tyson JKH King Vanders Maynard Stretch Fronts... Watts Pedo Hannan Smith Harmes Bugg Johnstone Gone.. Trenners Pencil Kent Flipper White Hulett Lamumba Yes that first drag will be goooood..

There's smoke here from my cheroot but no fire left in the belly....pick 10 and Watts to Brisbane for pick 1 and we get that gun ... Rayner. Frost and Stretch to Adelaide for Lever Next years first rounder and Spencer to Giants for Kelly

Sitting in front of the fire last night encircled by smoke from my cheroot listening to miles Davis on my stereo it came to me in a white lightning moment..... Just one change and it's a point of difference...bring big wild Frosty in for Wagner and play him on the wing like a runaway bull careering up and down the members wing totally out of control...

I'm still swimming toward a darkening horizon... but he's gone... Viney's gone... season over... how can I light a cheroot in the sea!

Walking along my local beach just watching the whales heading north and a sooty oystercatcher flew through the smoke ring from my cheroot and laughed and squeaked hey bro he said about your next game. whats up I coughed as I did a double drawback? viney man he's gone for the season and the big bloke's ankle is bad and he can't jump, they were going to play frosty and Maynard against the saints but were able to get them up one more time, but Viney he's done mate. i peeled off my clothes threw my roach in the water and swam for the whales on the horizon...

Between white clouds from inhaling my cheroot I watched a game of footy on the telly here in my rainforest today. It was an epic battle with Melbourne wounded from previous weeks and Carlton down two at half time but this .... yes this was a game of real footy. At one point in the last quarter the ball was on the ground on the wing and six blokes were too stuffed to bend over and pick it up. I love tough footy. I love ugly contested footy. You know I think I'm loving these new dees. By my cheroot they're as tough as teddy whitten and the Ronald dale and the jimmy Stynes. I cant get enough of them. And that Jordan Lewis and Bernie vince my sweet smoke don't they make all those young fellas walk tall. Sure they make some mistakes but because they take chances and tutor these impressionable like Oliver petracca hannan anb. Not to mention the bloke the silk the Neville. For those who want to drop smith and Kent and stretch understand that playing one week with Bernie and Jordie and nev is worth thirty games for Casey. Let's beat the crows ugly..after the siren.. and no changes Tyson watts et al can earn their re entry through Casey... and only if Casey win... and leave Wagner to learn from Bernie and Jordie...

Walking the beach break nothing in my head the whirl of cheroot smoke riding my tread and two sooty oystercatchers coming my way low on the wave and I call out to them ...Hey who's in and they waggle their wings like two big W's and I see its Wagner and White for Garlett and Salem and exhaling I say thanks but what does that mean and almost lost in the waves is the sooties cry ... Hunt goes fooorwwarrd... And so I stop take of my clothes and walk into the surf Byrons lighthouse is blinking on the horizon.....

I was kneading my mull and I heard wise in my head re the Kent and I had to say to the men of the land that it's not that hard if you don't inhale cause we've seen him him look intense and powerful and explosive and shifter but it was for a moment and such is the angst of the goody that he can't get him to explode across a game and so penance at casey seems logical and now ... Can he learn.. Does he want it bad enuf.....

I was walking along the beach this night and the sea was mellow and the staircase came up as the full moon rose and It was an omen perhaps because I was chasing Tom Pettys full moon fever vinyl album on eBay without success and my cheroot was warm in the light of the new world. As the smoke chased the night I thought of Goody and his choices for this week and I knew that the personnel were not in his thoughts because it was the game plan and his only concern was had he got it right. The plan to be successful for the last day in September and he followed my smoke in the ebbing tide and he smiled and I knew he didn't give a diddly squat who came in they had only to be his men and we would win and losing Max was in a way a blessing after the mrp boys as it was clear that individuals were dispensible no matter how tall and we were to become as a wave in the water and the smoke from my cheroot we would be .... irrepressible..........

I was smokin through the rainforest and it was raining and raining and raining...... And in a flash of lightning a man stood before me dry as a bone.... And it was Todd and with a wink and a nod he told me this weeks team... Shoot I said tug on this cheroot man and his eyes rolled and his tongue hung low and wet ... And the team was... defenders......mac 1& 2, Bernie, melksh hunty, son of smithy, Lewis ... 7 forwards...... Hoges, Jeffy, tracks, hannnnan, weeeeeed..... 5 Middies...... Maximus, gus, jonesy, olly, the vine, buggy, ..... 6 warmers.... Streeetcch, Pencil, Tyson, sailing.....4

As i weaved my way down the mountains to my beach shack and my big mal a young dude on the roadside was flagging a ride and I slowed enough for him to jump on board. Watts your name comrade and he replied Jack mate whats yours. Call me old wolf or just wolf. Jack had the brightest yellow hair I had ever seen and on his forehead he had tattooed 2 red ticks and a black question mark. I offered him a drag on my cheroot but he waved his hand and said no thanks Mr wolf theyre watchin me..... and I dropped the yellow Watts off at the party capital Byron Bay ....everyone is a Goody here...
