A conversation about bananas is not a conversation about nothing.

What's the story on DL, with all these new threads being started, which then fizzle out a few days later? They are just clogging up the site.

Yes. WJ and I managed the Dominator and tried to get him to the Dees. He had already been rejected by Carlton twice and was a Prahran player. WJ thought he could make it and I went and spoke to him and we became his managers, long before Football Management took off. It is a long story but to make it short, the Blues wanted Tom Flower for Wayne and of course the Dees said no. Through some luck he fell into a senior practice match, filling in for an injured player and kicked a few goals quickly on Jezza, the Blues Captain Coach. That was it and he later became a champion .

Would be happy to see us take the record this week with 23 winning quarters.

I agree they will stay, as they have worked too hard to get the chance of success to just leave. They seem to be a very united and committed group atm and if given reasonable coin and duration it should be a formality, even if there are slightly better offers out there. Gus should join them in recommitting at some stage of the season. I think this group of players are very happy together and that is always a factor in extending contracts.

As the eternal pessimist I am worried about our 6 day break after the Alice, compared to the Dogs 8 days after a Melbourne game. Interesting to see if changes are made for this game to bring in fresh legs. On disclosed selections so far this year, maybe not. Nine days then to the Pies, which is good, with the bye to follow.. It would be great on a side note, to win all 4 quarters against the Dogs and take the AFL record of 22 quarters in a row won.

Why do you say the Mc's are all but signed? Have you heard something other than what we have all heard, that they are in contract talks?

Very happy for a nice guy who has never given up on his AFL dream. Played his best game for us of the 4 so far and showed he can contribute. A couple of goals, some big marks, some goal assists and better rucking than Jenkins, who is much bigger than Bull.

Despite the recent form of both sides, with us having the 6 day break off the Alice Springs game and the Dogs having an 8 day break playing their last game in Melbourne, we will have to be at our best to run it out. I wonder if they will look at fresh legs. After this game we have 9 days to the Pies.

Our boys have clearly been on the bananas. Wow, just wow.

Great report Vogon Poetry .

Wow 33 scoring shots to 23 and we win.

Well done Declan.

17 points Balic goal.

Good idea.

I get so tired and worn out hoping that the AFL would at least try and attempt to be fair in their handling of the competition. They invent a reason for every baffling decision.

Neither do I.

Ah the wonderful double negatives.

Well we know which one is the smoothie, out of the banana and the lawyer.

Has chosen a destination club.

Welcome back Pedo.

Looks about 5-6 cms smaller than his dad, so at 17 may still grow. Could get to Max's size.

I take no pleasure in mashing a banana to make a smoothie.

What makes you reckon that figure?

Agree. Is Lever the only bloke to change clubs? According to the media and maybe the Crows he obviously is. Jenkins, Gibbs, Seedsman, Jacobs, Betts, Gibson, Lynch, Cheney and the recently retired Scott Thompson say hello. Bloody hypocrites.
