Who cares about the talk, Bailey did plenty of that. I care about how we play.

Other clubs will be in the same boat as us. Pies in round 2 might also be fairly under strength. This format is much better and fairer as you get to play in front of your fans a couple of teams on decnt grounds and you can try things out. This way you go all the way until the GF at least in the NAB cup and you can see it live or at least on TV. Don't think we really care where we finish as long as we get used to the game plan and try out a few new players.

There will be no draft countdown until after the season is over.

About 9 months. I can't find the date. May not be fixed yet. Wonder if we will activate our picks. I think we will.

We are nearly there. Nab cup starts this week. Fox Footy too. Dees Intra club friday. Discussion on the game straight after on Demonland. Here we go again.

There is a baby possum on my window ledge staring at me as I write this. I am going to give him an offer to go to Blacktown and join GWS. I hear the possums do really well up there.

Glen Boss thinks so.

I can see us resting a few players in the opening NAB cup and playing all of the rookies that are fit.

And we have a winner.

I am reading Wild Horses, a book by Dick Francis, with as usual, his use of the horse racing world as an ingredient.

Black Caviar, what can you say? Possibly the best this country has produced. Untouched and runs them off their feet. I feel privileged to have seen her run. Wow. I just feel so excited and it gives me hope of getting another good horse one day, one that I can think about all day, in between thinking about my grand daughter and the MFC.

If you read between the lines in the line I posted, I think I have complied.

Both Davis and Ward are fine young, honest men and would be capable of leading the new club.

Just saw the GWS calendar setup on the news and Sheeds had Ward and Davis beside him. Captain and Vice Captain or Co Captains?

Has anyone noticed the huge amount of new topics started daily. It seems like every thought gets its own topic.

Unless he is injured, it was a pathetic run. Hopefully tuesday will be better.

Not sure if I mentioned Noble Game at 3.20 today, sunday, at Sale. Should go close to winning. Man of Awe at 1.35 Tuesday at Stawell. First start.

I agree. Grabbing it off the pack and kicking the snap goal was his start. Hopefully he still has that ability.

Sadly I tend to agree. Hope I am wrong also.

Don't forget Flash, who carries the indigenous leadership hopes and was suggested by many to be Captain last year.

Is that a serious question? I was just pointing out that we will have some unhappy players in the group. If that unhappiness manifests itself in form or attitude or behaviour it will need addressing, that is my point.

I have no problems with the Coach stamping his mark on the club as it is his head on the block. I just point out there are going to be a few boys who will be upset with his call.

Green and Moloney must be extremely disappointed. Our most passionate player, who just happens to be the current club B & F doesn't even make the leadership group of 8. I can see some resentment against the new Coach.

No Dispute just won. Other meeting was abandoned. Noble Game at Sale 2200m on Sunday.

On her disclosed form she would have no difficulty at the 1400. Given she wins hands and heels easily I would imagine that unless she is not herself or is injured she would win. I don't say that however would necessarily be the case over longer trips. She has never felt the whip and has hardly been tested and has never been pushed out to win, but rather always eased down. She accelerates in a flash without effort and puts 4-5 lengths on the field effortlessly. She is a sensational sprinter and one of the best ever in the world. We are privileged to have seen her.
