A contract won't protect them but a fat man will try (and I'm not talking about the father of you know who).

OD. I think in the interests of Redleg's health, it's fortunate that he's sailing off the coast of France, heading in the direction of Spain and oblivious to today's developments. I reckon he might be saying that the game as we all knew it died today. I found it distasteful when that nameless person jerked the club around in 2011 knowing he was going to GWS but I found the news that Buddy's management approached the Swans soon after last year's grand final rather appalling. I'm sure Redleg would feel the same way. I suppose we have to get used to it but I thought free agency was designed to help battlers get to other AFL clubs. I'm not so sure that's happening the way the Player's Association envisaged things when it was first mooted.

Latest report from Mrs. Redleg is that the cruise continues and the ship has docked at a port in the south of France after initially crossing into Italian waters. There's apparently a storm on the way and I suspect that Redleg himself might be a little seasick. Take this with a grain of salt if you wish but I tracked their course on a map of the Mediterranean and discovered that its shape perfectly matches that of a banana.

So Prince William wore West Perth gear at the wedding? I actually thought at the time that it would make a good alternative strip for the Dees.

Seized by French Customs when he arrived at the airport. Last I spoke to him, he was muttering something like "damn frogs!" under his breath. If I were you I'd stay out of his way when he gets back.

Just heard from Mrs. Redleg. She and Mr. Redleg have successfully traversed the globe and landed in Nice where they start a cruise tomorrow. She reports that Redleg has scoured the local markets and will proudly carry a crate of bananas onto the ship. She also reveals that his shipboard reading is the Paul Roos biography which he has read 3 times since our new coach was appointed. Thought you might want to know.

Meanwhile, Nathan Jones gets bog v GW$ and sets up an unbeatable lead as Melbourne's leading votegetter. And I won't mention who got the 1 vote in that game.

Shannon Byrnes just became a hero of the club picking up first votes for the club in the 2013 Brownlow. Should please Redleg.

And to that, I'll say it again "Go Dockers" Fremantle designers hope Dockers march to the Grand Final boosts the City

It's a mad, mad, mad world gone bananas when I read news stories suggesting that Neil Craig is about to be appointed coach of Brisbane and Dean Bailey a strong possibility for the gig at Essendon (lips please don't unpurse). It wouldn't surprise me if Mark Neeld bobbed up somewhere too (Carlton as assistant to Mick).

Are we talking IQ here or what?

No, we're not allowed to discuss Nirvana or Kurt Cobain on this thread. It's disrespectful.

Right on cue Fawad Ahmed takes the wicket and its 2-1 Australia. Every worker in the country deserves a day off.

And if you have Foxtel you can watch the Aussies finally beat the Poms in a cricket series again.

Watto! Hope you're not on the juice like your namesake!

Yeah, every time someone says anything about "copping flack" it gets me going.

It was all our fault. We should have known that picks 1 and 3 that year were ratbags and refused to "list manage" that year. We should have played guys in 2009 who had broken legs, sprained thumbs or were under suspension for striking. How bloody incompetent can you be when you let Richmond beat you with a 55m kick after the siren from a hack who otherwise couldn't hit a barn door in a storm? And next time we win a flag, we should all leave the ground looking ashen faced.

Thanks for that CFH. It means one more win and they've already matched the Demons' season.

I missed everything about the opening round with the exception of the first game last week. What happened to San Franciso?

And going by the scuttlebutt in the footy news ATM it seems that there are several Brisbane Lions players who want to jump ship so there's a fair chance we might pick up a banana bender or two.

Good thing that Michael Clarke decided to hang around for the ODI's.

At the church at the end of our street where it's always been but you have to be quick if you don't want to get an ugly one.

I'm at the polling booth and the queue's a mile long. I think someone mentioned something about a sex party. Politics ain't what it used to be!

Like to enter the tipping competition but haven't the slightest clue about the teams other than that San Fran will win the Superbowl. Bring it on. BTW Does anyone know who Paul Roos supports?

You're confusing the waltz with the Strauss who was lead singer of the Swedish cyberpunk group Morlock. More James Strauss style and definitely music to listen to whilst your Franz Liszt.
