Redleg

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.

What more misery can this club cop, now it looks like Clark will retire. I would be off the AFL demanding multiple PP's if they want us to not stuff up their next broadcast rights deal and attendances, not to mention inbalance to the ladder. Now is the time to get aggressive with the AFL and get a committment.

Yes, my mistake.

The Dees forward half.

No he got a virus, I think called Norse Virus, which induces seizures like bad epilepsy. Tragic news.

Can there be too many?

Gee we will have to begin "operation turn OD around".

Very sad news. Jockey Nathan Berry dies of virus caught while in Singapore. Condolences to his family and friends.

That photo is better than Redtube.

I prefer de udder picture.

It seems to me that several recent AFL rules/decisions have hurt us. The introduction of the 2 new clubs and all their draft picks have slowed any chance of a quick come back. The abolition of the PP has done the same. The refusal of Evans to grant us one despite 7 pathetic seasons has done the same. The abolition of 1 runner has aided the more experienced teams, of which we are not one. The tanking inquiry and its aftermath has also hurt us. Our fixture when looked at in a commercial sense has also hurt us financially. There are probably more that i can't think of ATM.

Should be fun at the lilypond.

More princesses on there, but I believe most Kings have indulged in the things shown there. I believe a king sized bed often features.

I have some horse shares if you would like to get involved in the sport of kings.
