Not feeling sick anymore. Now I just feel sad.

This has been done to death, but how could Prendergast draft Cook with our first pick and 2 years later not one single club even rookies him, when we delist him. I was told that the other recruiters were stunned when he took Cook at 12. That is but one mistake of many he made. I accept that recruiting is not an exact science, but he has left us in this dire position, because of his poor performance. I am just so angry.

Just watched the Adelaide showdown, great game. Both clubs have found plenty of young players. Where are ours. Clearly they were ignored by Barry Prendergast, who IMO is the worst performed employee of the MFC ever. I remember him as an arrogant spud as well when I spoke to him. IMO he has fu-ked us completely. When you look at the players he drafted who have had no impact it is an unmitigated disaster. He has had the picks to give us a midfield and has totally failed. Hopefully our new bloke can now start drafting talented AFL footballers.

I feel sick.

The boys on Fox are going ballistic. Warnie and Botham astounded.

That will finish him off in the election then.

If anyone wants to drink diet shakes to lose weight, my tip, avoid the low carb ones, they taste awful. After trying a few flavours, I gave up and threw the rest out. On the other hand the normal diet shakes are fine. Haven,t said this for a while and is probably anathema to put in a post about diet shakes , but I had a slice of banana cake for lunch. It was yum.

Good luck, hope all is well.

I know how you feel.

I must say this thread has been very educational for me.

Very good. Pity Jeremy's form has tapered.

Palanquin.

Glad you are well enough to be at your keyboard telling us about it. It does put things in perspective though.

I am informed that when our new President mentioned his favourite food was banana bread, it got him over the line.

That is what I told my son after the game. I basically said the season is over and we have to look forward to a new coach, more new mids and next year. You can't just keep beating yourself up every week over the performance of this team. He even went to Geelong and got absolutely drenched. I swore off Geelong after 186.It is just so bloody sad to see where we are at the moment. That said however I honestly believe 3 good mids could change things dramatically.

No we won by 25 points.

It seems that when there is improvement and you see some hope, they smash you back to reality.

Some relevant information. Keep it coming.

Don't be sorry about discussing football on this thread, it is such a great thread that we discuss football and other things as well.

Well it does matter if you get 2,3 or 4 if the bloke you want goes before your pick. Also if you wanted to trade your pick a higher pick is clearly worth more.I agree with your other proposition that we thought picks of themselves would save us. We now know there is much more to it, starting with getting the right players and then developing them.

With respect OD you can't be serious. Just because we stuffed up previously doesn't mean we wouldn't want the best picks available.Every club in the competition wants the best picks available. I agree you then want to make the right choices.

Don't think I said anything about us losing put rather the Saints winning.You are clearly not serious when you say it doesn't matter what draft pick we have. People are committing crimes against humanity as you mention to improve their draft position.

I find myself hoping that the Saints win another game so that at worst we have pick 2 and at best pick 1 &. 3.

Get used to it.

A 7-8 at Sandown is his go. Now working at the beach which is freshening him up.
