How many days are there to go to this national draft Redleg?

I think Junior would certainly have gotten his fair share of games at Melbourne in 2011 and possibly even into next year so it doesn't come as a surprise that he's a chance to play at GWS next year. I think on balance it was Junior's time to go at the end of 2010 (the departure like a few others in recent times was poorly handled) but given the circumstances in Sydney, I believe he'll be a valuable acquisition as both a player and a coach and I certainly wish him well in those roles.

My worst nightmare. We had visitors tonight - the type who hang around, well and truly overstay their welcome and aren't the least bit interested in the cricket. Arrived just after Clark was last man out in Australia's first innings and left when the second dig was about to start. I didn't even tape the SA innings. Damn.

Nothing wrong with Matty Warnock. I can assure you that he's fit as a fiddle, a good bloke and he comes from a fine family.

I doubt whether there are going to be any squeals of delight from the poor kid who has to go to Port Adelaide. That's like going to Blacktown but you get to wear designer moccasins. BTW what time zone are you in. By me, it's 16 days to go.

Ivan Milat has a GWS jumper?

Sam Blease is one of us:- From Sam's twitter -

Not only that but we can't believe they were still available at 36, 52 and 54.

And what an exciting coverage it promises to be? A sea of charcoal and orange with the Homebush crowd listening appreciatively as this young songstress belts out the new GWS club theme song:- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EPM5dhwHw6o&feature=youtube_gdata_player

Neither accurate and neither of which would stand up in a court of law as you would well know. Perhaps you might want to explain to the punters what happened to your each way tip Bauer in the Queen Elizabeth Stakes at Flemington. An apology to Her Majesty for botching up the selections in her race would seem to be in order, would it not?

I'll make up for it by giving you all a tip: Flemington Race 8 Number 1 Bauer Back it each way. Redleg says it will win.

Not prepared to give the programme any more free publicity and besides, it's been flogged to death like this thread and the banana fetishists around here.

And this is my message to the man who wants to be a Giant at least until next Tuesday unless a better offer comes along in the meantime:

Nobody else was interested in going so it's Thai food tonight instead.

I'm thinking we should be magnanimous to O'Meara and Crouch who not only have done nothing wrong but whose fathers aren't getting a cracker out of their respective new AFL clubs. They really don't deserve to be lumped together with the other bloke. In view of today's publicity, perhaps the thread could be changed to: "I want to be a Giant until at least next Tuesday" Thoughts?

Big night at the Sheraton Mirage buffet tonight. Kevin "Shifter" Sheahan (the father figure of Australian footy was there with a group - obviously in town for tomorrow night's big IR face off between Oz and Ireland (to which I'm a late scratching). I didn't ask any questions. I would've felt stupid asking him who he thought we would pick at #36.

I was surprised to read that the coach of the Irish team is a former MFC listed player Anthony Tohill. He never played seniors for us and I remember nothing about him. Anyway, the build up to the game here is about as exciting as the above snippet of information.

That would be right. I've seen several Broncos guernseys on the streets, a few Titans jumpers but not a single GCS or Lions outfit. I'm going on Friday night to support our three lads and have a look at the stadium but it doesn't appear to be attracting any publicity.

It was said elsewhere that we can fit four of the following five in defence:- Frawley Garland Rivers T McDonald Davis That being the case, the fact that Tom McDonald was grouped with the forwards is of interest. He came to the club as a ruckman/forward but looked very much at home this year in defence. Does he have what it takes to hold down a key forward spot?

I'm very disappointed in Redleg. Last night during the massive rainstorm on the Coast we found shelter at Baskin & Robbins and they have a special on their banana ice cream. Redleg declined to partake. Not only that but he reckons he's also going to pass on the opportunity to watch Brad Green skipper the Aussies in Friday night's IR game against Ireland. That means he also misses out on seeing James Frawley and the best and most honest footballer to come out of the 2009 national draft Jack Trengove.

Being on the Gold Coast ATM, I missed the 3rd ODI v SA. What happened?

Close but no cigar. Actually $7.95 per kilo down there. My highlight on the coast so far came when I picked up my copy of today's HUN and there, on the front page was a snap of the unmentionable one in charcoal and orange drag on top of a headline that screamed out, "Rats in our ranks". OK, the story under the headline had nothing to do with the little bugger but it made my day.

Taking the wives with us so the accommodation will be somewhat more salubrious. At least we'll be in genuine banana country.

I, coached the Demonland/Demonology team to three massive victories today but I have a dilemma. Half of my players were still partying at 6.45 am and about eight of them turned up hung over. What disciplinary measures should I have adopted if any?

Great movie from that era was Blow-up starring David Hemmings and Vanessa Redgrave. Also featured a rare performance of The Yardbirds with both Jimmy Page and Jeff Beck. The latter left the band a few months after the movie was made.
