Plenty of other threads you can worry about WJ, leave this one alone. It has reached that many pages because people enjoy it.

I would say without fear of contradiction BBO, that you are definitely uncommon.

You work?

Going to the G this sunday to see the Dees play. Looking forward to it.

It is nice to be the supporter of a football club again.

Will fit right in with my banana diet.

WJ and myself were named by Wayne Johnson, last night at their 150th dinner, as the men who started his league career, when we tried to get him to the Dees. He was named in the best 10 players ever for Carlton.

I think he had 2 possessions. If any injured player is fit next week he will out. Looked heavy.

Going to watch Sylvia come on as the sub and see how he goes.

Watching the game last night and the QB game, it is clear to see that our disposal is poor compared to the good teams. That is the area we most need to address IMO.

Go Hawks.

34 different substances given to the Bombers players in 2012 according to the Sun today. Again the club refuses to address the real issues.

Ok. The usual we are working on Defence first and then we will work on winning. Said Jesse Hogan is expected to play some games later in the year. Said some of the younger boys may need a break as he doesn't want to overdo it with them. Said Luke Tapscott has been cruelled by injuries. Said Blease was improving and was working on areas advised to him by the Coaches. Said he thought that if the goal was allowed to Vince, we would probably have gone in at 3/4 time 3 points down and then who knows what could have happened. Said the disallowed goal killed momentum and he felt the team were deflated by it. Said our disposal into the forward line on Monday was very poor. Said he would rather get a top midfielder next year than another big forward. Got the feeling he is confident about Dawes, Hogan and is hopeful of a retired player returning ( my take on it, I could be wrong ). Said Fitzy is improving and is another option and mentioned Kent as one who could come in maybe this week.

Off to a MFC Sponsor function tonight with a Q & A session with Roos and Nathan Jones. Will report anything of interest.

That's what Roos thinks.

Yes we can, it was wrong. You are allowed to play on if you are behind your mark, in some cases even if you are in front of it, even if the angle is not what some over officious umpire wants you to be on. Ling described it as bizarre and there was unanimous agreement from the other commentators, most of whom are ex players. Our coach described it as bewildering and was furious. It was a momentum killer and in a close game where we were given 5 free kicks for the whole afternoon.

Unfortunately for the game, you are right.

You gotta love the holding the ball rule, when the opposition are actually in possession under a pack, or the ball is loose and yet you get pinged. Absolutely ridiculous. The umpires just guess and usually go with the stronger club.

Let me say this unequivocally, the umpires didn't cost us the game, but boy are they bad. I am sick of the big clubs getting all the soft ones.

I think we have another record. The lowest free kick count ever in a game, 5.

Should be a big crowd as weather looks ok.

I smell too much hype for us this week and following a NT game last week, would not be surprised to see a poor performance. On the other hand!!!!!!!!!!

Great game by Steph Martin. Will probably carry the Lions rucks for the rest of the year, if he can stay fit.

A Trip to Italy, a film to avoid.

MM master whinger.
