47 Oh the excitement.

Thanks for reminding me and here it is: 48

You just have to try and one up me don't you?

Started the day on the right note with a Banana and Mango juice.

Yes this is a part of the season we can be involved in, the off season, as we don't ever seem to be involved in that part that has the finals.

And helped out by Neitz, Bruce, Yze and Fagan.

Jack Martin and Jesse were the top 2 under 17's by a mile and available to GWS to be traded for compo picks. GC had the first pick and took Martin, leaving us Jesse. Then the recruiting took over and we swapped pick 20 for Dawes and the indigenous winger whose name I forget, who has retired. It could be easily argued both were a bust.

If you want to have a very good idea of why we are where we are, look at the JT draft and look at the top 20 picks. Guess who played the least AFL games since and would be the biggest bust of the top 20? Answer is Gysberts, who was taken over Talia, ( the overwhelming choice of the Demonland posters at that pick), but what would they know. Prendergast was the genius behind that move and also Tapscott, the big bodied, small player who had no real postion to call his own. He was also the genius behind Lucas Cook, our number 12 pick who never played an AFL game and a host of other wasted draft picks. I see Prendergast's time at the club, as the single biggest reason we are where we are ATM. Thank God Taylor and Roos are trying to change things. We have under Roos turned over 50% of the list and that could hit 75% by the end of drafting time this year. We also have Brendan Mc Cartney heading our development program and Goodwin in the wings ready to Coach. We also have a decent CEO running the club. We are being given every chance to become a good club again.

Or Essendon.

Wonder who is responsible for the drug article on the Eagles, in the Sun today, 2 days before the GF.

Where did I say Kennedy was in Boomer's class? I was just mentioning a small player who was not too bad. Great how the insult is thrown in as well.

Boomer says hi.

Yes he was.

They should have enjoyed their dessert then.

12 months isn't, but when you have done a year suspension, it is automatically lifted.

However, I believe they served banana cobbler for dessert at the Brownlow.

You can say it as long as you don't mention it.

No mention of T$ or BS. No other rules.

You are right, Abysynth does make the heart grow fonder.

I am coming around to this need for culture change. The new players still have a burning hunger to succeed, whereas the older players could well be burnt out by constant failure. Anyway we will have changed 75% of the list by December.

They can now trade a player in at $450k to replace Jetta.

You could safely assume Pav and Mc Pharlin would earn more than Bennell and Mc Carthy.

Where is BBO, I miss his wise views on life?

The finals again have shown, just as we have banged on about for years, that the team that has disposal skill and works hard, wins. We need to rid ourselves of players with poor disposal and poor work ethic.

That's less than a 3rd round pick.
