Yowsah!

I posted this on another thread but thought you might like to read it. "I don't want to get bogged down with PP talk the same as many others but let me just say this: It is a rule of the AFL that consistently poorly performing clubs can be given draft assistance. That rule doesn't disqualify a club because of previous drafting failures, obviously. It was an AFL rule that we would have got a PP due to our results, which the AFL dropped to our detriment. It was an AFL rule that created 2 new clubs and gave them all of the top end of the draft, at a time when we were crap and were trying to recover. It was an AFL rule that allowed our number 1 pick to run off to GWS in the first 2 years of his drafting by us and funded by AFL money. It is an AFL rule that has brought in FA, which is not doing what it was intended to do, but has seen us lose Sylvia, Moloney, Rivers and probably Frawley, more than any other club and at a time when we are on the bottom of the ladder. It is also an AFL rule that allows the AFL to have a fixture not based on fairness, but revenue, which has compromised our financial position for years. We follow the bloody rules, let the bloody AFL do the same."

Ow! Just missed again.

He made Shintaro look good to the ladies. PS. I have often tried to jump backwards up into a tree, but haven't perfected the art as yet. I am still working on it.

This topic is getting me pist off.

Go the Ninja. Love Tombey the Mist.

Are our boys wet trackers? Looks like it will be pretty wet saturday. Oh hang on, it was wet last week.

What about simply locking the doors to the Blues change rooms and not letting them out.

I haven't surrendered, I am just being attacked by overwhelming forces.

Can't be done, as the misery is restricted to our club.

Don't be concerned, I have been advised that the Cyclone has changed course and will hit Gosch's Paddock in the middle of an MFC training session.

8 years and counting.

We are a lucky club.

While we are to blame for poor recruiting, for the position we find ourselves in, the AFL has also contributed significantly. When we were at the bottom they brought in 2 new teams, gave them all the best players and made our chances of recovery very difficult. They then brought in 2 new rules which led to senior players Moloney, Rivers, Sylvia and maybe Chip being allowed to go to top clubs or at least clubs of their choice and one to go at age 19 to GWS. That is 5 players or 25% of our best team. That is nothing short of murder, committed on a football club. Worse still it was committed on a club at the bottom of the ladder, struggling to improve. They then put the cream on the cake, or buried the corpse to use another analogy, by changing the PP rule, when we clearly because of games won, would have got one and then even though we filled the criteria for one under their new rule, refused to give us one, using a totally BS excuse. I won't even mention the tanking farce punishment, for being found not guilty and with no other club who did the same as us, even being investigated. Yes, we are to blame of course, but so are the AFL and it should be made crystal clear to them, when we ask for help, as we should.

Carlton working up for their big win this week against us.

Maybe using the words of former PM Paul Keating, " this is the 8 years of crap we have to have, to become a good side again".

No prefer the daughter.

Looks like a girl I once went out with.

Not bad for 3/4's then terrible last. Killed in the ruck and the clearances. Last quarter stopped.

That's what I meant. We copped it again.

And what was the square up, for us being the only team investigated for tanking?

I agree that a PP won't solve all problems and maybe multiple PP's won't either, but we need them desperately as part of everything needed to mount a recovery. Good luck with recruiting, development and injuries are also part of the requirement.

Everything you say is why we need not 1 PP but many. This is about money to the game, the only thing we can hang our hat on.

Then they are idiots and blind to our situation.
