Redleg

Horse copped a bad check as he made his run along the rail. Good run and is getting up to his staying distance.

Very funny.

And that is why we should have insisted that we play before our bye week or a longer break.

Humidity really bad today up on GC and it really gets to you. Lions and Suns have a huge advantage on these types of days. If our opening NAB cup day played on day like today I would back them to beat us.

Speaking of which I attended the Heart v GC game with Mrs. Redleg on sunday night. Massive crowd of 2098. Enjoyed it but it reminded me of why I love AFL football, because it is a great game. I will never be a soccer fan but as a Heart supporter, because my mate is a director, I will support Heart, even if that support, pardon the pun, is half hearted. As a sidelight I went out to dinner after the game with my mate and our wives and the Heart CEO, Scott Munn who is a former AFL official. He is a nice guy and was heavily involved in the set up of the GC Suns.

Still bloody sore.

It's funny the dislike of this new team and I don't even put it down to T$. I like the GC Suns and have even adopted them as my second team. I think it is just the professionalism and the people who are in charge of GC that makes the difference. They show a sensitivity to the difficulties of setting up a new club and the taking of existing team's players that GWS don't.

Have done my back and in pain and can't think or write. Struggling to read, though that has always been a problem.

Still waiting for chapter two.

Can't wait for chapter 2, it is my new holiday reading.

I would like to see a short history of the GWS so far. Would make for interesting reading.

Very good run by both on their way to the longer distance races. Both will win, barring injury, when their fitness improves and the distance suits.

Happy New Year to all Demonlanders and especially to readers of this thread. There is so much about the Dees that doesn't involve T$ anymore that we will have lots to discuss next year. For example the movie "Warhorse", is a good family movie, if you can ignore the dramatic music. Speaking of horses I have two runners today, No Dispute at Stony Creek at 3.20 and Noble Game at Cranbourne at 6.21. I make no predictions and note that both having their first start back from spells will be improved by the run and in relation to Noble Game, the distance should be far too short for him.

Couldn't be, there are no frogs in Canterbury Victoria, they are not allowed entry.

You are obviously an NRL Bulldogs fan.

The seasisde air is getting toy you Demon Head, have you forgotten the name of this thread? Have you seen Dermott Brereton walking the street of his home town?

A couple more weeks and the footy news will start to dominate the sports media again.

Wow nice day yesterday. Cricket ball size hail and floods, not to mention dangerous lightning. Good day for a picnic.

Saw movie "Warhorse", good for all the family.

See that Ratten is pushing Gibbs up as the new star player at the club. Also saying they will finish top four. He is not too worried about putting his head on the chopping block it seems.

We could all meet there before the first NAB cup game.

Ah yes, forgot about that. Of course he didn't write the song , their producer Jim Fuller did.

What was the controversy?

Can I wish all Demonlanders safe and happy holidays and a great year in 2012 for the Dees.

Listening to "Over You" by Gary Puckett and the Union Gap. Can't believe he disappeared for about 35 years. One of the best pop voices of all time.
