Redleg

Just ran into former Demon Director Ross Mitchell, the brother of 3AW's Neil Mitchell. Ross now lives on the Gold Coast and still follows the Dees. Like most of us, he likes what he is seeing at the club and is hopeful of a return to regular finals for us.

I get what you mean. He clearly has "starred" for us, but is he a star of the competition, probably not. Can he drag us over the line to win games, the way a Selwood does, or a Pendlebury does, or a Fyfe does and the answer is no. He clearly is a vital cog in our team, but as you say, we need the new bunch to go past him and become stars of the AFL.

First time in about 8 years I have felt confident about our future.

Speaking of which, how are you?

It is polite society on this thread,unlike some others, where the abuse is so unedifying.

Calf injuries are bad for older players. Hopefully it is not a severe one.

Well it takes all types.

So you are into PICP, Pre Injury Confirmation Panicking?

Wonder if it was as bad as Selwood's knee?

So you are handy with the Nespresso machines. You are a man of many talents.

What I like about all these projected MFC sides, is that good players are being left out. That is new.

It was delicious.

Some had Stringer as low as 20. It is in many respects a lottery, as you are guessing not who are the best juniors, but who will develop into the best AFL players. Then there are factors like injury, development, opportunity and the assistance of good players around you.

And a banana and cinnamon smoothie today, I am on a roll.

Nice smile too.

Not sure I would have mentioned Harry, after his stinker of a year.

Your marriage appears to be going off the rails. Take control man. You are the train driver, don't let the conductor drive the train. On a happier note for my marriage, Mrs. Redleg and myself just had a couple of banana smoothies with our breakfast up here on the Gold Coast. Looks like things are on the up.

Will leave that to BBO, he is a master at it.

The guy that all of Demonland was speculating over all summer, thinking we might get him from the Suns.

Attractive young lady with him as well. It would be great if she was a Melbourne girl. Daniel Currie and his lady friend were with them.

Looked pretty good while he was eating.

Why? He took a drink one day too late. Drank it on Friday and would have been fine and legal if he had it on Thursday. Hardly an injector of substances on a regular basis.

Sitting next to Dion Prestia in a great Japanese restaurant in Surfers. Think we need a great Japanese restaurant in Melbourne, wink wink.

I have great rhythm.
