  1. Agree with the first part. We were evicted from training at the G, something we did for over 100 years, before the other co tenants came along. I was Team Manager in 1979, under Coach Big Carl and it was an enormous thrill for everyone connected with the club, to be on the ground during training. I will never forget it. As for the second point, that won't happen, but if we get a deal up and running the AFL will chip in.

    Gardens are pretty dry, worried about the banana crops. Hope it rains soon.
  3. Craig is a nice guy and did his best for us.
  4. Agree we didn't have to make the decision and also that people don't need to gamble. However, the AFL rewards clubs that make business decisions and lose money. I would have thought this has more merit than simply being incompetent in running a club.
  5. IMO clubs who have adopted family values over pokies should be rewarded by the AFL, as otherwise the clubs like Hawks, Blues and Bombers have an advantage in income, derived from gambling, which is so harmful to so many.

    Saw an article on Robert Shaw and he described Salem as the most skillful of the players that he coached at Brighton Grammar and that he could turn a game in 15 minutes. Kelly and Watts were others he coached. Pretty big wrap on Salem and suggests he has improvement left in him.

    Surely too good to clean the bathrooms with. Maybe you meant after the maid has had a few drinks, she might be that happy, that she would offer to clean his 8 bathrooms.

    Even I wouldn't give such cheap drinks as presents. No, they are for sampling by Redleg and the Mrs.

    I am nothing if not controversial. BTW, boys I bought some wine yesterday for $5, $4 & $3 a bottle total $12. I am sheepish to admit it was Moscato by 3 different wineries. Do you think I overpaid?

    Hopefully Australia.

    I think we have just decided the cost is too high, for success in finding Irish players for the list. We are probably using our dollars elsewhere.
  12. Go tell them Max is Japanese and get them to come across.
  13. True. It appears to be just a look at whole club lists.
  14. Only one of my many profound comments. Do you know that one legged ducks swim in circles.
  15. Height matters to people who are too short or too tall.
  16. For whatever it means, we are last in the over 190 cm player category, when combined with the over 200 cm category.
  17. Would hope players should do that every year.

    I know meals on wheels.
  19. Sorry, think I misread it.
  20. Of the 6 clubs, 3 have used their pick, so only 3 clubs with one pick left.

    Have you just returned from an interplanetary trip? Disappointed JH gone but understand why. Kent now a Saint.

    Congrats Daisy, you have made me feel sick. I never want to see another banana slug again.

    That's a ko if ever I saw one.
