Who is JB? Is it James Brayshaw?

But he tried hard, unlike Sylvia.

Pretty decent effort winning 3/4's considering we were smashed in clearances, possessions and umpiring and with an injury depleted team.

In that condition you should be able to do a great James Strauss waltz.

Will be hoping for a huge Tigers win next week.

Carlton give me the sh-ts.

I personally would be happy as I have always liked Jack, spoken to him many times and believe he has more skill and talent than nearly every other player on our list.He needs a new coach to help him develop physically and mentally, to harden up and to become desperate in every contest. Add 10 kilos to his frame and a good coach and he could be anything.

Good boy. He may prefer some ice cream in his smoothie rather than frozen yoghurt.

Funny, I heard a while ago he bought one here.

Is he?

Alarm goes ... Herald Sun delivered, back page, Roos considering Dees job. Alarm clock thrown out.

Do you think if I suggested that Byrnes retire, it could create a firestorm like the Junior one? IMO Byrnes should have played his last game for the club. I would have no problem with him playing for Casey as long as he was off our list. Maybe a playing assistant coach role for Casey.

And alarm goes ... Banana smoothie in fridge curdling. Back page of Herald Sun, MFC involved in new scandal. Allegation that Ron Barassi was zoned to the future club GWS and all premierships won after Ron started playing and before as well, will be stripped from the club. AD declares this has brought the game into disrepute and all Melbourne players will be given to GWS.

Alarm goes again ... Supporters arguing over whether Junior was forced to retire too early. Prendergast bashing continues. CS and CC bashing conitnues. Roos not sure at the moment if he will coach at some stage. Roos still refusing to move to Brisbane. MFC told by AFL that they won't get a friday game but that they can watch other games on TV instead. MFC fixtured in historic first game at the South Pole. MFC players trying to find their missing game plan. Stephen Dank offers great deal on vitamins to the club. Board rejects offer after a close vote after a 6 hour meeting on the issue. AFL says MFC in line for a PP, if they win less than 3 games for the next 10 years, other clubs up in arms, as 2023 draft rumoured to be a weak one. MFC first club to recruit a pygmy from Africa to play small forward.

First game. Coach not getting on with players. Star players injured and unavailable. Admin being attacked. Board being attacked. Supporters fighting over which board is/was better. Tanking inquiry reopened. Drugs inquiry still proceeding. New inquiry threatened on whether Ivor Warne Smith in 1925 was a registered player and whether MFC stole their song from a USA show and breached copyright 50 years ago. New CEO Kevin Rudd has his hands full. Alarm goes again ...

I'll ask Bill Murray.

There is that pathetic GWS side that I predicted. Best player and captain out, ruck out, next best midfielder out and so on. Oh yes they want to win. Robbo asks is Freo resting 10 players tanking. No says Gerard as you don't have to try and win if you have a goal in mind. Hello!!!!!!!!!!!!

In Essendon?

Looks a refreshing drink.

If he is already involved at another club, I don't think we will until their season ends.

The Doctor who headed the AOD safety tests, said that Doctor Garnham doesn't know what he is talking about, when he told the players' parents the drug was safe. He said that they found a cancer link under testing and that is why the drug hasn't been passed for human use. Clearly therefore the players and their parents have been misled again by the club. This is disgusting. The Doctor said you can't rule out side effects from use of the drug. The mother who rang the radio was right, the Essendon players were used as guinea pigs. God help the club if a player gets sick or has other issues from the use of these drugs. Hopefully it will not happen, but it can't be guaranteed. I think the behaviour of Hird and the club has been disgusting, in not accepting the true consequences of what they ran as a supplements program. For Hird's Counsel to label him heroic, is a disgrace of the highest order. It is a disgrace to all the true heroic acts that have occurred. These people still don't get what they have done.

I am not too worried at this stage about any investigation of us. The publicity over this has been horrendous. We are also inches away from collapsing and the AFL know this. Also we were the only tanking investigation despite plenty of evidence of others.

Bombers got off lightly for the worst scandal ever in the game. Footy Manager gets 5 months for running the scheme and CC got 12 months, an absolute disgrace. Scheme found to have injected unknown drugs to players that may or may not be banned and/or harmful. In 2014 they go down a few places in round 1 and only lose round 2 draft pick. Pathetic. It pays to be a powerful club if you are going to do the wrong thing.

Another day, another media frenzy at Docklands. This negotiating penalty is getting a very ridiculous look to it.

Watch the pathetic side GWS will field in its last game of the year against GC. Guarantee better players will be rested. They want pick 1.
