Redleg

There is no precedent at the MRP, or when the shoe is on the other foot. Also at the time Scott left, he was seeking a compassionate release for a family issue. Not sure we ever found out what that issue was, or if there even was one. However, if indeed there was an issue, we did the right thing.

I would, but agree it won't happen.

Would love to be a fly on the dashboard, listening to the scintillating conversation.

More reasons than usual to win this week.

And then again he might not. Not sure if the umpires are big on the quick handball clearance.

Next?

We need to win this game desperately. Hawks with an easy draw are another team making a run at the eight. A few more wins are needed for us to be certain finalists. Win the next two and we are a huge chance. If we do make it, we need to avoid an elimination final interstate. On a more serious note, the banana circumciser above, is a horrid invention.

Who knows? There will be trades done and Kent could be part of one. For example if we were after Lever, we might trade a player like Kent to get something and then add that to our first pick as an offer. I am sure we will target someone and we now are a " destination club" as the phrase goes.

If Milkshake can find his niche as a good tagger while still getting possessions, that will help us.

Once again we play a team at full strength with a two day longer break, while we have major injury problems.

There is only one thread you need concern yourself with and you are on it.

See that Shuey didn't limp off, but he did have a fairly quiet night for him. Some poetic justice.

Wouldn't mind some poetic justice tonight, seeing Shuey limp off, not to return, with a hammy or whatever, at the 2 minute mark of the first quarter.

Yes Woody Allen.

It's hard to find good help.

How is the crushed banana remedy going on the tinea?

Very happy if he spoils like the knock on to Oscar, which went to Harmes which went to Watts which went over the goal umpire's head and continues playing as he has so far for us. Great pick up.

You now the simplest thing to do, is for us all to get behind him and give him support and hopefully he develops into a very good player for the Dees.

Interesting two statements. The first you have him at 90% of his output excellent and 10% of his output atrocious. When I contrast that with Tyson, who I would put at 30-40% atrocious, Melksham at 50% atrocious, ANB at 30% atrocious and his brother Tom, at 20% atrocious, he stacks up ok. As you say given his youth and inexperience 90% excellent is a good grade and perhaps you have been a little generous. I would have thought you could easily find 10% of Viney's output atrocious on a subjective analysis so it is an interesting point. As to the second statement, read my answer above and you will see that it doesn't just follow that with experience and confidence, you eliminate the atrocious part of your game.

Got to be happy now that we have Taylor heading up the recruiting. He is a nice bloke, who really seems to know his stuff, but without the arrogance. He will make mistakes as it is impossible not to and it is a given in AFL football, that not every draftee will make the grade. There is simply not enough room for them to anyway. The main thing is to get most of the picks right and give yourself the maximum chance of bringing in talent that might make it.

If you go to the ancient tibetan book of fruit cures for man's ailments, you will find it there.

Smear crushed banana between your toes and goodbye tinea.

Used to think we played our best footy at the G, not so sure anymore.

We had the chance to take the All Australian CHB in Trengove's draft, but took Gysberts. I went to the MFC draft function thinking we would get Talia with our 3rd pick, as we knew the first two and was furious when I was told we would take Gysberts, who I didn't know anything of. I remember sitting there thinking gee I hope this Gysberts boy is good, as most knew Talia would be a very good player. We have stuffed up so many picks before Taylor came, it would be comical, if it wasn't so sad. Destroyed any chance we had of recovering.

We had our chance and the Tigers Doctor ruined it.
