You have my absolute respect and admiration. One of the most difficult and important areas of health care.

All the best mate to you and your family and friends.

Clearly this post inspired the win, so I put it up again.

BBO I share your bitterness and feel we are f...ed.

It is easy to hate umpires if you are a Melbourne supporter. We lose games because of multiple free kick goals awarded to our opponents when we can’t buy one. I watched the Pies Tigers game today and was stunned at the refusal to pay obvious holding the ball frees yet we are penalised as soon as an opponent touches our jumper. It is a joke. Think of the Harmes 50 and goal and listen to the umpires warning players today not to infringe the zone when they already are in it. It is a joke. It just seems to me if you are a club that doesn’t rant in the media you get continually screwed.

I hate to say it, but I can see a loss and our year over tonight.

The Crows side looks good on paper. Walker and Mc Govern are big ins. One good out is Doedee, he is a very good player and is their new Lever.

I knew it. Great get on the pic btw.

Love your confidence. Hope you haven’t got drunk on banana dacqueris.

I had a chocolate, banana smoothie yesterday from Liv Eat and it was great.

But OD might not have another 54 years up his sleeve.

You have thrown in our main key defender( and brother of our best forward). Wow!

It will be interesting to see if Kelly extends at Cats. If not he could be targeted by Eagles with a compo pick for Gaff. Kelly would be far cheaper than Gaff and would help Eagles salary cap.

Name the only kick in football named after a fruit. It has been a long association with our favourite fruit and footy.

Yes but he is in it and available free. If you got Gaff and Wallis, you would be gaining better players and with experience, to help our young midfield.

He can handball and kick to a team mate for starters. He can make a decision within 2 minutes and not get caught holding the ball. He can kick a goal, 3 recently in a game. He can take a contested mark. He is a better player than Tyson.

Well we found another way to inflict pain on ourselves.

Wallis has skill Tyson doesn’t.

Not sure the club sees that as a priority. Oscar, Frost, Lever next year, Petty after a second pre season and Keilty is a fair bunch. Tim Smith can also go back and Joel Smith though a bit shorter can also pinch hit. Assuming Pedo has retired and if not he is another who can pinch hit. Who would you be looking at?

I think we should be targeting Mitch Wallis, who is a year older and on the outer at the Dogs apparently and will come a lot cheaper. If you can get both great.

Nic Nat I think is only contracted until end of 2019. His next contract will be well south of $1m per year and he will accept it, as he has been heavily paid while injured. WC have been good to him and he will repay them with a reduced contract.

Was feeling quite confident about the Cats game until we lost Viney and Hibberd.

Well just for them I heard Dusty, Lynch, McGovern, Cripps and Curnow have signed with us for next year.

Would usually be concerned about a product made by a company called Nippys, but in the interest of research will try it.

Taking players from other clubs who were possibly high draft picks or not, but who didn’t produce their best at the club who drafted them, has been successful many times. Often more so than drafting. A couple of reasons for this could be that you have seen them against senior players and you might know of a reason why they haven’t performed to their ability, like injury or homesickness for example.
