This is probably impossible to do, but I would be interested to know the percentage of rookies taken by clubs of boys training with them and others who don't. It seems to me that clubs are quite open with some boys letting the world know and yet hide others away. Maybe it is just that it is too expensive to bring too many over to train, or that they know they will take a certain player, so they leave him at home and look at others in the training environment. I must ask BBBP when I get to speak to him at a club function. If anyone can shed any light on this feel free.

That's more likely.

13 days, actually a bit less.

An even 2 weeks to go. Seems to be more happening about you know who and his dad. Will it never stop?

At night I find myself dreaming of Waylen Manson. What is happening to me?

Try talking to some of the other characters on Demonland.

Sorry got my dates wrong its December 13 and that makes it 15 days to go. Oh well more time to study those names.

Wow.

10 days to go, that's 240 hours for those interested. Actually 238 hours to be exact.

I can see the rookie draft now, MFC selects Manson, Hall, Couch and a player so left of centre, that he has gone around 360 degrees to actually end up on the right. He turns into our next Woewy.

Exactly what I was thinking. The ND has very little excitement as most names are known whereas the Rookie Draft is the opposite. 11 days to go and I am pumped.

Never had a scotch in my life.

12 days to the rookie draft and hopefully a bit more excitement.

Went to training this morning, dropped into a cafe for lunch, asked for a banana smoothie and horror, no smoothies today. Had mineral water, it's not nearly as good.

Can't wait Alpha. Then I can pick my 4 rookies and watch as none of them are taken by us.

13 and the good news is we are still in there with a chance for Mansen and Hall.

Stay and read my post 1197.

He probably thinks his boss is an idiot.

He is actually getting 20 times more than the $5000.00 he got from the Swans this year. Also, he has now got the payment indexed by 5% per year and a fixed 6 year contract. He must be the greatest recruiter of all time. A 6 year indexed contract starting at $100000.00 per year. Wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

No he can stay here, because the post is actually about a pathetic CEO of the AFL, not the kid who left us.

I am surprised that he said it and that no one on here has raised it.

Can't believe no one has commented on Demtriou's disgusting comment at a GWS presser. He said what GWS did with Phil $ was fantastic as he is a great Recruiting Manager and the AFL loves keeping families together. Ox and Leach played it on their SEN show today and both were ropeable. Ox basically said that he was promoting cheating and Leach said it was a disgusting thing to say in that all the other clubs have paid for GWS to start up and here he was endorsing their rule breaking and the stabbing of the other clubs in the back. Both were furious that Demtriou was suggetsing that his salary was always going into their salary cap, when it only happened when they were caught. Ox also said that when MFC tried to keep T$ like Carlton did with 3rd party payments to Judd, the AFL stopped it in about 2 seconds, showing that they wanted him gone to GWS and stuff MFC.

Song for the evening: Everybody Wants To Rule The World - Tears For Fears. Oh crap, another minute passed.

As they said in a Monty Python sketch called "a minute passed", a minute passed, then another and another, then a different minute passed and still another minute passed, followed by a minute passing, with another totally different minute passing and before we knew a minute had passed and still yet another passed, then without warning an entirely new minute had passed, followed by another and then another.

2880 minutes to go at the time of posting.
