Redleg

Maybe they could list the Irish players who played with Saints.

Well they probably have two of those already and if not, it wouldn’t need a fortune to renovate to that standard. It’s easy to fix up a stadium where less than 10000 watch around 8 games a year.

They let them train in green jumpers and celebrate St. Patrick’s day. Seriously though have the Saints played a lot of Irish boys?

Endless supply of Guinness?

Well Lions and Saints each sign an Irish boy with big raps. Original Team that started the Irish experiment has none on its list. Just saying. Hopefully these two don’t become stars of the AFL.

They don't seem to be challenged by winning AFL football.

Lions just signed Ben Murphy from Ireland.

Mrs. Redleg was ill on the weekend with a stomach issue and we ended up spending the night in Emergency at a Hospital. All good now. Guess what she was told to eat, to help avoid future issues, yes BANANAS. I of course like a good dutiful husband, have joined her in this quest.

I am really looking forward to seeing CJ playing for us. Will add some excitement.

If you moved to see Bombers misery, you have probably enjoyed the last 25 years far more.

Would it. Probably a worse look for a State that is incapable of building a stadium that it has agreed to build, in order to have a team in the AFL. Tassie agreed to the stadium deal in order to get the AFL licence and is now floundering. If the AFL pulls the offer, there won’t be another offer for years. It would have meant a bye for a team each week, so therefore no extra TV revenue, the big AFL earner. Not sure the AFL will care as much as people might think.

Could the AFL walk away from Tasmania saying they were given their chance? Maybe that suits the AFL.

Hopefully, but he is a bit smaller than Andrews.

With Hogan, Cadman, Riccardi, Gruzewski, Stringer and Brown, that would surprise me if the Giants were looking at another big forward.

Was asked a gimme question in a Trivia game recently, which was “which State in Australia is known by the nickname Banana Benders”. The funny thing was that I was sitting with a Queensland couple in our group, who did not know the answer.

I am sensing a more sarcastic tone to your recent posting.

I hope we get Cats at Geelong, we never play there.

It was probably all an idea before the MRC blew over $200m on a changed mounting yard and other changes, that put them in massive debt and only the school land sale is helping to ease that debt.

Well that explains a fair bit.

You could renovate and enlarge the Glasshouse to a massive size, without affecting the area we are looking at. The existing pedestrian tunnel is a major benefit to the project and eliminates the need to interfere with racing dates to erect another one.

Finally got a good jockey and barrier. Here’s hoping. He needs a win, it has been a long time.

We have a fair bit in the bank at the moment. I am sure we have spent part of the time shoring up the financial part of the project.

What’s that bit about Smith’s dad being a mate of Dill all about?

It was not smart to attack the media guys, but we know that Clarry is not smart. I do feel however he was justified in feeling furious with the media, given his mental health issues and the fact that unlike with other cases of players with mental health issues, they actually hounded him, instead of giving him space to deal with his problems. I will never accept that he was treated the same as others. He was a target of the media and in my opinion some of their behaviour was despicable. I would have liked to have seen a Doctor or his family, come out and slam them. So many others are given the “ leave them alone treatment “ but not Clarry. I fully understand his frustration and his feelings that he has been victimised and I agree with him. I hope he is left alone now by the media and can get better and has success, except when against us of course and maybe being in outer Sydney will assist that process. Thanks for what you did for us and now onto the next stage of your footy career and life. All the best Clarry, forever a Demon star.

Maybe that goes down to some of his issues.
