I love this kid. -
Don't think that the door is ajar, the house has been demolished. More chance of an 18 year old girl picking me over Jesse Hogan, to go on a date with.

Jackson said the club had been in discussions with VFL affiliate the Casey Scorpions about playing as the Casey Demons in 2017. Casey is expected to wear Melbourne colours in the VFL next season.

Hope you are better soon.

That is what has led to the sad situation

It's very sad, that this guy's AFL career, is ending with Demon supporters just waiting/hoping for an announcement that he has retired and that we have settled with him.

Are you a weird, Japanese, pseudo artist as well?

Thanks. Oh and last week Eric Bana walked past me in the street and once when I was in Beverley Hills, I stood next to Yoko Ono outside a clothing shop.

I am away.

I am sticking with my prediction that they will cop a fair penalty, if for no other reason, than to show the other clubs that they are not immune to punishment. Also, probably more importantly, if they let them off on this defence of "individuals are guilty, not the club" no club will be guilty of anything again and some clubs may be looking for compensation for past penalties.

Will have to see how dates are going.

Unfortunately you don't need full contact to get injured.

Apparently WJ did not know about the dinner and had another engagement as well.

Brioche is too oily for my tastes. -
Madder Lake's original singer, Eton Trepper, lives around the corner from me and as I recall they started with guys from my old school, Melbourne High. Bongo Starkie of Skyhooks fame was a mate from school, as was Michael Gudinski, who was in my form for a few years.

This is really a tiresome point. We got exactly what the rules contemplated and provided for in the Frawley situation, nothing more, nothing less. His contract offer from the Hawks, coupled with his age and our ladder position, determined what we got. We did not get special treatment from the league. We got what the rules said we would get. The Lions with 3 flags in a row and another GF in 2001-2014 with a better list than we had, did get special treatment from the league in getting a PP. The media have acknowledged that. No one has explained that.

He will need to stuff a number of pillows under the red outfit. Saty is quite slim. -
Unless you take another breath.

Get better soon Colin, hope you are not too uncomfortable.

Happy for Gill to ring Katie to play Women's footy, I was more bemused that he was chasing a 34 year old, who had not played footy, other than one game 10 years ago, for 20 years. She was his tennis coach, but he has probably never seen her play footy, yet rings her to play in the women's league. As to the meeting with the players on the CBA, this is the most important item of the AFL for the year, as it will impact in the future on funds. Gill is a master of "glad handing", he does it all the time, yet could not bring himself to come down to Torquay, to see player delegates who had given up their free time to fly in for the meeting from all over Australia. He is paid a bloody lot of money to do just that. This is actually a strategy of the AFL, to delay talks until the pre season competition and back the players into a corner over striking, which the AFL knows will make the players unpopular with the public. Gill is a dill for not going. How many crappy events does he attend during the year, but can't find a day to attend to one of the most important. While I have no view on the percentage sought by the players, I believe Gill has acted very poorly and Dangerfield is correct in his disappointment.

Less do each year.

I couldn't care less, I just want us to make finals and win a flag. -
1. He may not be one of the negotiators, but he is the CEO of the AFL and this is the single biggest issue ATM of the AFL, with its biggest asset, the players. 2. He would pop in, if for no other reason than to show respect, as stated by Dangerfield, to player delegates who have flown in from all over Australia. 3. I don't know if he did make a call, but from what Dangerfield said, it appears he didn't. 4. Of course he is allowed to allocate some time to women's footy, but they weren't playing the last couple of days. How hard would it be to pop down to Torquay and if nothing else, welcome the guys and have a drink or a meal with them and give them some encouragement on the issue. When that is added to the comment of Dangerfield, that the AFL has refused to discuss the issue for the last month, it is not a great look. From the AFL site: GEELONG superstar Patrick Dangerfield has called on the AFL to show the players more respect after League CEO Gillon McLachlan chose not to attend their annual two-day conference. AFL Players Association delegates gathered on Thursday and Friday in Torquay in western Victoria amid increasingly tense pay negotiations and the possibility of a pre-season strike. McLachlan declined an invitation to attend, with executives Ray Gunston and Andrew Dillon sent instead to present to the AFLPA board. Dangerfield, a member of the AFLPA board, said players were disappointed with McLachlan's no-show and the League's approach to the long-running negotiations. "It's been difficult to negotiate (and) the AFL have been really difficult in coming to the table … they haven't spoken to the PA in the past month," Dangerfield said. "So to get this opportunity today was wonderful, albeit without the CEO in attendance. "There were some disappointed players who flew across the country to be here yesterday and today, and we were perhaps looking for a little bit more respect than what we got.
