Love how it takes almost our entire coaching staff to play keeping offs with Viney.

Cue tabloid rumour that Jesse's been hanging out at dance music festivals again.

You should offer a macaron and a cup of tea to Tom McDonald to see if he's capable of petty amusements.

I still hate our club for not picking him and I'm not even related to Ollie.

But would they both be saying the same thing if they had to walk a mile in each other's shoes? I have no idea, but we should put it to the test. Straight swap seems fair.

Are we clean? Otherwise I really DGAF, which I realise just now would probably be pronounced phonetically acronym-wise as dee-gaffe. Doomed, I tells ya. Doooomed!

Every time I hear a Gil to resign rumour I get nervous about Peter Jackson being tapped for CEO. Then I contemplate whether that might actually be a good thing, before giving up and going back to watching reruns of Mr. Robot.

Gee, I got excited for a second trying to work out who our new recruit was. Rooke looks in pretty good nick for seven years out of the game. Can you convince Frost to don the bag for a snap Saty? Then he'd really look like Optimus Prime.

Had to write an article the other day on a brand consultancy's annual global index of the 500 most valuable brands. I won't bother explaining their methodology but Zurich was ranked at 232nd worldwide. Incidentally, Lexus was 172nd, while the Melbourne Football Club didn't make the list.

Un-dee like? We've moved on from the days of lingerie football Old Dee.

I am an optimist/realist. I'd like to bet on Melbourne making the top 4 ... but don't have any money after last year's optimism.

Zurich and Darwin. Seems a tad bi-polar.

Bourbon or rum is my guess.

Picket - you just wasted all that credibility you've been building up all these years.

You could probably look to the stock market for some of your answers VP. It's not just the perception of a player's value but the perception of other perceptions of both the player and other perceptions - compounded by the uneven market-entry levels of investment capital and the both bi-directionally strategic and psychological bearing that will have on a portfolio approach, to mention nothing of course of the actual approach devising and executing individuals and their own broad set of personal and occupational circumstances, or, the added variable here that, in the instance of a draft as it pertains to football, not all sub-level objectives are identical across the participating and yet still effectively competing parties. In short: it's all bull-[censored].

I think this may be what you're looking for fndee. http://demonwiki.org/Round+6+1992

From what I understand Michel Foucault was quite partial to the administration and reception of, as you so eloquently put it, a jolly good flogging.

You can't destroy something which only ever existed as a societal construct in the first place. 'Luded was just told to Foucaulf.

A thread such as this often boils down to a subjective interpretation of its premise - in this instance, the definition of 'break-out'. Regardless: Clayton Oliver. The kid has zero weaknesses across the many various disciplines within the sport and several areas in which he excels - some at a level already beyond all but a handful of players. In the history of football. In his second year. After arriving from the bush-leagues. Very little has to happen for it all to come together, and in a way that they'll be writing articles about the kid with 'break-out' as a reoccurring adjective and theme.

I saw a French girl's club-team play in Amsterdam last year and was both confused and impressed. The euphonious le Francais and footy make for an odd on-field match. Especially of the feminine variety. But they're a surprisingly feisty lot when it comes to sport.

Cheers 'tack. This is something I'd noticed before without paying a great deal of attention to - defenders v defenders etc. at training. I can understand the idea from the perspective of developing cohesion within a unit and it being easier for instruction, but it's a bit of an odd one-track approach or wasted opportunity, no? I would think Omac might benefit from consistently learning how to contain Hogan (and vice a versa re. Hogan being better able to exploit one-on-ones) as much as he would in gaining insight from Lever on positioning. How did Hibberd go? Truly great snaps from your young'un btw. He's got an genuine eye for the subtle nuances of human emotion.

The Oracle of Dee Dee as guided by the spirit of Hermes' brother Apollo is predicting that our new number 4 will tear it up against Hawthorn, Brisbane, the Bulldogs and what I interpret to be perhaps Collingwood and GWS. Unless that is, Dee Dee was just suggesting he could do with a good spray . . .

So he spoke, and, from heaven, Father Zeus himself sealed the intent with his words, when your are good, your are good, but when you are bad you go missing, and so consigned to Hermes, command over birds of omen, glad-eyed lions, white-tusked wild pigs, dogs, sheep, and all the flocking beasts that the broad earth nourishes.

But surely they still practice one-on-one scenarios? In that sense, I'm curious as to how certain forwards match up on certain defenders, and if there are any consistent themes or if any of our players tend to outmatch others, which might perhaps provide some additional insight into their strengths and weaknesses against opposition types. Such as Nev vs. Jeffy? Or for example if Frost has any special negating tactics against say Hogan?

Random question for track-watchers: when our forwards and backs match up on each other, which individuals tend to have the wood on other specific players?
