Great, everyone is having coffee and banana cake but me. Could I put this post on the "whinge" thread?

Wish I could join you.

Has anyone been sacked yet. I am surprised that Rodan got dropped and not Byrnes. They both played poorly, but I thought Byrnes was far worse, in that he fumbled several times a few of which which led to Port goals. I still am not sure why we got him, there had to be better. Ben Warren who we discussed on here a bit would have been far better, much younger and quicker. I could never see the hunger for Pedersen. 2 games last year for the Roos and we were so desperate to get him. I suppose they all deserve another chance.

Pretty prophetic.

I can see Demonland going into meltdown if we put in a poor one. Saintsational is probably doing that right now.

Sydney is said to have 1091000 supporters as of December 2012. No wonder we find it hard to compete with some of the AFL clubs in the membership/sponsorship race.

I think we will have between 6-8 new players.

Looking like we will have more new players in our first game than any other side. Tigers had one and Blues none. While in time they will add to our side, it might be hard early on, to gel quickly enough to win.

Are you saying Apple are rotten to the core? Should stick to bananas.

She does and I sometimes do.

Lucky you, a wife with only one fault.

Your wife is right, you have had a win already.

Have you thought of living in a cave?

And me.

If they are worried about both, I think they will play Clark before Dawes. He is athletic and harder to stop than Dawes.

I think Viney is a certainty this week and I would play Clark. He looked ok and can play out of the goal square. My daughter saw Dawes today and he thought he would be OK to play as well. Trenners needs more game time at Casey and probably another hitout for Blease as well.

I hear you brother. Amen.

Not glee, but when I see 14 new players on the list, one next year who could be great, hear that our fitness is up, see the Coach fitting into his role more comfortably, note that the players gone generally added nothing, speak to guys like Neil Craig about our future, while not gleeful I am certainly more optimistic.

Not getting a lot of joy from the Dees are you?

It certainly put one on mine. Gee it's making me thirsty.

Agree. They are also smug and that irritates me as well.

Just watched On The Couch and once again Sheahan had a go at Melbourne, saying Jimmy and the Board and the administrators were complicit in the tanking and should all have been punished. He was reminded that we were found not guilty by the AFL and said oh well. I have now watched or read several media people have a go at us and in the same breath or sentence, totally ignore the other clubs that did the same. As a result I have come to the following conclusion: "A large percentage of media people are gutless lackies and bullies."

Robert Walls couldn't believe it, on SEN on monday morning.

I was just interested. I suppose we will get more info in the real season.

How has Gysberts gone in the last 3 weeks, anyone know?
