Seriously picket? She obviously has you all fooled. She’s a deranged fanboy (fan girl?) who gets her jollies from hanging around young athletic men who happen to wear red and blue. All this making banners, cooking sausages and happy snapshots with her “boys” is just a front. I’m actually scared about what she might do next. I am beginning to believe that we might not be seeing Chin again. I think she might have him locked away in her basement. Yeah, she’s not fooling me.

JT told the truth. He selected the best available who had speed, athleticism and foot skills.

Dp, I haven’t seen the FB master plan, but I’d suggest that if, as you say, there is no recreation precinct on the plan, then you must realise that getting land rezoned is a really difficult process and an extremely time consuming one. And given the governments demands for more housing, rather than less, probably an expensive and fruitless exercise. That’s what is attractive about Caulfield and, dare I say it, Goshs’s precinct - ie no rezoning required.

I don’t think there is any reasonable person that could put hand-on-heart and say that the action was not a deliberate ploy to hurt Gus. He is a thug , deserved a long suspension and deserved to miss the grand final and that medal. That medal is now as tainted as Cripps’s Brownlow. However this thread is about Gus and I want to hear positives about how he is going both physically and mentally. I know that physically he is likely to be ok, but I worry about the lingering metal scars that act might have and how this will affect his play. I am however, really tired of posters bringing up and repeating the event over and over again. My thought is to let it rest and save the anger for our next game against the pies. None of us will forget this act that’s for sure.

For the little time he has spent as a ruck in the ones, when he manages to win the tap, I have been pleasantly surprised just how many taps go to our advantage. I think if he were 6cm taller we’d be selling Gawny to the swans, and looking for a new key forward.

Kicking looked really ordinary - so i guess he'd fit right on in at the Dees.

Hey Jaded, couldn’t you find a better giff than this?That is one face I’d just love to belt.

The KKK have always been a force of sorts.

By your logic Picket, two steps back puts us at 2021, which wasn't a bad year. Therefore '24 a premiership year!

I understand they are not related ET. (sorry D, I didn’t see your post)

DL could send WCW to “interview” the newbies for an exclusive. (although probably not the smartest idea I’ve had).

Surely the Club have learnt by now and have included WCW warnings as part of the new players induction. Kol either missed it, or he decided to just take his chances. Mind you, he wouldn't has stood a chance if WCW was stalking him. And by the way WCW, next time you do your makeup, please use a mirror.

It’s too late for Kol now that he had been WCW’d (he’ll probably ask for a transfer now), but for the Club’s sake, please keep WCW away from the other newbies.

Haha, no way we could miss them dp. If by some slim chance we end up at Fisherman’s Bend, we will all have you to thank.

Good question - but not one that anyone of us on DL would be able to answer, which I'm sure you would know Hawk. I suggest the best place to raise that question is with the Club. Perhaps once you do, you might inform us of the response please.

Haha. What sort of lawyer are you?

Finally, someone has woken up. My post from 30 Oct.: The Pick 1 Thread Neil Crompton replied to Demonland's topic in Trade, Draft & Free Agency I think we have two clubs (NM and WC) playing chicken at the moment to see who will give way first. I think we leave them alone and do our own thing and see what happens. Would the Hawks be willing to trade their pick 4 (and a guarantee we would not pick Watson) for pick 6 and our future first? We then have a nice hand at the draft - 4 and 11, which I'd be happy with - but it may also make WC be a bit more inclined to relinquish Pick 1...

...and?

I’d rather go home-grown Deevs. “Turn up your radio” the Masters Apprentices.

Until I saw that highlights package, I had been put off Watson due to his lack of height. But what I saw there was probably, imo, the most skilful player at the draft by a mile. What I especially like is that he never tries to do too much - like Reid and McKercher do - and he always looks for someone in a better position- and has the skills to get it to him. Up until today, I’ve been certain I’d take Curtin at pick 6. But now I think we’d be mad if we didn’t take Watson if he is available.

This really is the Seinfeld thread isn't it.

I cannot watch this. We are horrible today so far!

Which thread? This one.

“Hi mate, if you are here to ask me about my tip for the Cup, happy to oblige- but I wouldn’t put my money on it. But if you are here to ask me football related questions, can I say that I am currently on holiday, and am enjoying my day at the races with a few close mates. I will happily answer these types of questions in a months time when I’m back at work. That ok for you? I’m sorry if it’s not, but that’s the way it’s gonna be”.

Best umpires? Oxymoron?
