Does that come from tea tree?

I recall reading on DL many posts as to what a crap player Frost is and should be traded at the end of the year. I posted he should be in the side, after Lever was injured and certainly ahead of Petty, who I think will become a very good player for us. After a few games back in the side, he was lauded by DL and the media,for his attacking play in Defence. Suddenly he was a good footballer. While he is capable of the odd Clanger, he is still a handy player for us. Just because he has some limitations, like all players, doesn’t mean that he hasn’t improved. Also just because he has not succeeded, say in previous stints in the ruck, doesn’t mean if needed there now, he wouldn’t handle it better. I am not saying he is a ruckman or a winger, just that he might do ok there if needed to fill in,because of the attributes he has and that he has developed somewhat the last couple of years. I think there is a tendency to categorise players and sometimes incorrectly. We all do it.

More like chai tea.

Been reading my posts again PF? I also said in a pinch he could help out in the ruck as once the contest is over he becomes another mid.

Ah, The difficulties of typing while riding a jet ski.

You mean England.

BBO, I bet you were hoping for Magic Circle to win, so the G String would be worn by the owner at the presentation.

Whatcha talkin about Willis?

Winner of cup, number 23 in red and blue colours. Omen for our part of the draft on November 23. Our first pick, yes 23. Further omen, 3rd horse in cup also in red and blue colours. Our 3rd puck looking good as well.

Can’t believe I have scheduled Foxtel to install a satellite on draft day, at the very time that the draft is on. Looks like it is DL on the computer, for me at draft time.

Now you have started it.

Not at all. Have you seen the state of BBO’s manor or tasted his wife’s cooking?

Up here in the home of the Gold Coast Suns for a short break. Haven’t seen a single siting of any GC Suns colours, either in the shops, or on any of the holidaymakers. That is a little unusual .

Didn’t think it was an insult.

And accomodate needs, like the 3 day Anzac break, 6 day back to back interstate trips and NT recovery requirement etc. Would prolong careers as well.

Just as Taylor would want.

Well, they are very important factors. Someone else posted that we make $1m a game in NT. Not sure that is correct, but if it is, it will be hard to walk away from. Then again, if correct figures, we should be seeking less other interstate games, as we already have more than other Victorian clubs and we are promoting the game in the NT by playing there.

That is why I referred to “ the bottom line ,“ which would take into account all income and expenses.

Would love to know how much the same game at the G instead, plus less costs would work out at. In other words what is the bottom line difference? Also taking away another 2 games from your fans has to be factored in, not to mention the travel for the players and the extra disruption to recovery etc. The big clubs don’t do it for a very good set of reasons, I would hope that we have now entered the same set of circumstances and can get rid of one or both games.

How disappointing!

Reckon there will some new faces in both teams, in either the Anzac game or the one before.

Ok. Well I seriously wonder if in our current position, both on and off the field, playing both games in the NT rather than say one or even none, is a bad choice.

So what is the benefit in the fixture for us agreeing to play in NT twice, 2 extra interstate games is the answer.
