Vanden Boogie?

Haven't been paying much attention to draft prospects this year. Is Riley Bonner a real person's name or something out of a Pynchon novel?

I don't meausre player performances against contract or draft position. That's just juvenile.

It worked for Nigel Smart in the early 90s.

Most if not all are either stamped or contracted for the future. On ice. May as well let Michie, Riley, Newton, and JKH have a run for the remainder of the year. No comment on Toump.

I shouted that that was the worst kick-in in the history of the AFL which sounds precisely like something I might say in the heat of (watching) the battle. At least on this occasion neutral supporters somewhat agreed with the sentiment after watching the replay. *I like Jack. I want him on our team.

Dee-luded - there's a bloke at Geelong who would be perfect. Just can't get out on the park though.

Signed till 2017. Buy the bloke a ticket to Bali now and let him put his feet up.

And along with Gus and Jack, his commitment to the Dees seems somehow ineffably unquestionable.

The only suggestion of cockiness or arrogance is a self-appraisal. Kid seems to have his head screwed on completely and demonstrates outstanding maturity and confidence for a bloke his age. We've earmarked Gus and Jack as potential future leaders of the club - It might get interesting for the future top job if Christian can overcome this injury and perform next year.

Lamashtu? Where does JV fiddling with our draft history fit? Obviously Nathan Jones would be the T-5000, the living embodiment of Skynet. His mission is to corrupt the leader of the future Melbourne premiership team, Angus Brayshaw, into a T-3000. He then corrupts an entire team of VFL-spec players into believing they are capable of being AFL-spec and winning more than 4 games in one season. Of course this doesn't factor in the time-travelling subplot where Simon Goodwin returns to 2011 and makes copies of Essendon's drugs program spreadsheets, before Vlad can tip them off.

So something to do with the paleo diet?

Something that's been playing on my mind for a while now. Dunn and Tmac don't seem to play well at the same time but I can't come up with a decent theory why? Coincidence? Not actually true? Any ideas?

I'm staggered that anyone can honestly suggest that performance shouldn't be measured against contract size.

As voted for by Demonland. Jason Taylor would be kept busy.

Roos front-half to get a hold of us like the WC game. Hope our middle can hold up.

The Glenn McGrath. Stepped on a footy.

It's the 2017/18 contract negotiations that disturb me. In a semi-good way. Just don't want to lose players through unnatural attrition - inflated contract offers from rival clubs that we can't possibly match. Geelong and the Hawks have been lucky - through culture/team bonding/success or some such but those days are dying I suspect.

Go to the Match Preview thread if you don't fancy talking about our drafting.

Cheers Demon Jack, BarnDee and Member's Wing. I must apologise though, I was just being a disingenuous arse. I meant can someone explain it as in; Motlop is sledged by the opposition and then narked on by his teammates and misses a game despite being BOG - and we should then steer clear as such? I probably don't have the full story.

Just plonk him in a pocket you think Roost? I wonder when Eddie Betts's contract is up? That would rub some serious salt in.

Didn't we put a sizeable offer to Hanners this year though? And it may conserve our dollars now but if we have everyone of the same age come through at the same time it squeezes the cap as there's nothing being cleared through retirement/natural attrition etc., no?

Especially now that they've run out of coca-Cola.

Sick as in out injured for the remainder of the year or sick as in awesome?

Just back from work and basically haven't slept for two days. Q. Do I sneak a couple hours now or just wait till half-time to hit the sack?
