Redleg

I expect Maric and Deledio back against us this week, along with similar headlines to the Pies, about Dimma being under the pump. However, if we play to our best, who cares?

That is the simple answer.

More likely we know we need more key forwards, whether Jesse stays or goes. Dawes appears just about done and Pedersen and Frost are not good enough. The two Kings are probably the next best after Jesse and Weed and they haven't played yet.

You obviously haven't listened to Sultans of Swing.

I know, I said it.

We don't seem to be very good " provers".

Unfortunately I have learned one thing in footy, however much I rail against something, or whinge about it, or predict its happening as a warning, if it is going to happen, it does.

I thought Neale was from Adelaide and would want to return there if he left WA. Also I thought Gaff just signed a new contract.

We keep coming up against teams that have something to prove and getting stronger with close to their best side.

No one but Jesse, his Manager and maybe some of his family, would know what he intends to do, so for the rest of us, it is pure speculation.

Looks like we might be well under full strength this week, whereas the Pies have been greatly improved with Sidebottom, Toovey and Varcoe playing.

Great to see Jayden Hunt get his first game. Good luck to the kid.

I'd chuck some Galliano on it.

Enjoy your banana led afternoon.

I do see the ones that go our way and am not that one eyed. Yes we kicked one goal less than North, but the way they got a lot of their goals is not that simple. That's like saying if I raced Usain Bolt in a 100 meter race and I was given a 90 metre start, therefore its simple, I beat him, without looking at what actually occurred.

Oh come on OD, we were robbed plain and simple and every Dees fan I have spoken to since sees it exactly the same way. Even my common sense son says it was a disgraceful effort by the umpires who robbed us of the game. There were so many poor decisions and 7 goals given to North, that our mistakes pale into comparison. Marks not paid, 25 metre kicks judged not 15, deliberate out of bounds one way, ducking and diving frees to Thomas and Waite, 3 throwing the balls by North that ended in goals to them, a ruck infringement against Gawn, who was in front of Goldstein and pushed in the back by Goldstein, resulting in a diabolical free and goal, which the commentators said was just terrible, Thomas jumping into Stretch to stop that final mark, the scragging of our forwards, soft 50's resulting in goals, need I go on?

May be a witness as I saw a crime today. I witnessed the stealing of an AFL game, by 3 morons in green. A definite theft.

Not leaving, just having trouble getting last week out of my mind.

Now there is a fair excuse. Would playing in ugg boots offset that?

We don't like that shade of grass.

What has grasping his joystick got to do with flying?

Thought I heard Tim Gossage in Perth, on SEN today, say that the Dockers would throw everything at Jesse to get him to come home and that Lachie Neale could be involved in a deal. He then went on to say, that his info was that Jesse liked it in Melbourne and would not be easy to move back home.

It will be a tough ask for us, flying all the way across Australia to Hobart.

Can see the excuse this week, the Tasmanian air just sapped our players' energy.

Hemingway I know how you feel. BTW I had a stallion named after you. What you need to do is put on the ugg boots, over the desert boots, make yourself a banana smoothie and sit down in your favourite chair and watch an episode of bananas in pyjamas. That will calm you down and make you see what is important in life.
