Sat near the Coaches box last night. After the game I congratulated Jackson who sat in the box and he acknowledged me as he walked past me. I also congratulated Roos, who was deep in concentration as he walked to the rooms and didn't even offer a sideways glance to me. I have to agree with others that these two guys are our best recruits in ages.

Yeah they played that young kid number 24 who is obviously hopeless. Our future is clearly with Byrnes.

I can't see us winning tonight unless the Tigers don't give it their all. What I want to see are the new personnel and some improvement especially in the midfield. A close game would be a good result.

Take a few banana lollies, whip up a banana smoothie and have a lie down, you will be right by game time.

I won't discuss a "bloody mary". I might start a discussion on the origin of drink names like, grasshopper, harvey wallbanger, brown cowboy, gin sling, martini, mint julep, to name just a few.

What is the origin of the shandy?

Is he in the team?

Anyone besides me going to the game friday?

Ah to look at the magnificent artwork on the walls of the Gat, created by the inmates, with their bare hands, while in a drunken or drug induced stupour, on the filthy tiles and plaster. Artwork at its finest.

How soon I forgot.

I do, when I don't have a kidney stone.

Trying to get fit for the season. Have dropped about 9 kilos from my maximum. 10 more to go. Just walked about 7k's up and down hills. Not bad for an old fart. I need a beer.

I get those little moments occasionally.

I found Old Dee again. If I was Frawley and I was given similar money and could see improvement in the side, I would want to stay and be a one club player with my mates.

Who are you and what have you done with Old Dee?

Quite a few, but only 5 to our first hitout against another club. I have secured medallion seats for this extravaganza. PS. Will start the draft countdown a few days closer to the event. 270 odd days may be a bit hard to take, then again.

I would rather you become a Hawk than Frawley.

Maybe it's you.

Good news, we didn't lose today.

Ah that pessimism.

Robbo continues his fight with the AFL over the drugs issue in the Sun today.

10.00PM and 34 degrees, wow!!!!!!!

Couldn't care less.

Just over a week to our first NAB cup game. Toes starting to get itchy, should soon spread to the feet.

Going to be hot for our practice match. Will get the players ready for the NT no doubt.
