So you will be sitting with the Lions fans then.

Fried banana sandwiches killed Elvis. I am going to have to review my diet.

Haven't seen the game yet, but what is wrong with the Dockers?

Sorry to talk footy here guys, but I heard Ian Prendergast the Player's CEO, on radio this morning say, that Free Agency was needed and was good as how else would players get to the better clubs so that they could play in finals. I thought that was a pretty pathetic comment, but at least honest and shows the real agenda behind FA. Free Agency has nothing to do with equalisation, it is solely about players leaving the weaker clubs for the stronger ones. It will help to destroy the game.

As I posted months ago after speaking to PJ, Roos has agreed to a third year as Coach. The building blocks of our revival are being put in place.

They are a funny side the Crows. They have a lot of dumpy looking Collingwood 6 footers but get the job done.

Your imagination is too limited.

You can amend quickly to moderately fast.

Purely and simply we have absolutely stuffed up our recruiting over the last several years. Last year under a new Coach and Recruiting Officer looks more promising and w have to hope that they get every pick and trade right from now on.It can turn around very quickly though as we have seen with our undermanned side improving dramatically defensively in just one year. Add Hogan and with improvement in Salem, Toumpas, JKH, Kent, Tyson, Riley etc and with a few more good picks and trades we can turn it around quickly.

Suns were terrible yesterday, it can't just be Ablett missing.

No argument from me.

Speaking of lunch I just had a great banana cinnamon smoothie. Feeling rather full. Might have to get up from the couch and take a long walk around the lounge room.

Why not?

Remember players don't tank. The players made mistakes nearly as many as the umpires. I have now seen 3 incidents replayed, which as agreed by Bob Murphy and Jordan Lewis on AFL360, which all went against us and cost goals or denied us shots from close in and there were more I am told.

Are GWS tanking? 6 players including Cameron ruled out for the rest of the year.

Pity only a few rounds left.

Had a good time. At the airport hope to be back in Oz early Wednesday morning. Back in time for the bye.

Don't know if we will get 5 wins this year, but we have clearly improved.Percentage is the first indicator. It is up. I think someone posted that we have lost 6 games by under 20 points. I seem to remember us playing most of our games in the last several years where we were out of it 20 minutes into the game. Then it would get worse. I would imagine that Stretch and maybe 2 good mids drafted and maybe another traded in plus Hogan and improvement in youngsters like Salem, JKH, Toumpas, Kent etc and another instructive pre season will have have us climbing the ladder quickly.

Haven't seen the game yet but to take Port to under a goal at their home when they were desperate to win to get into the top four, was a great effort. We are definitely improving and this off season in adding personnel and learning will be vital to our future. We are on the right track.

It is a thread that just keeps on giving.

I understand now.

That's like saying Nicholson could replace Buddy.

Would love to play but I am in the USA until next week.

Port must be happy they have us this week and at home to boot.

Put them both in the forward line.
