Redleg

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.

2 and the wait is unbearable.

I am getting so excited by this draft that I will only be able to eat one dinner tonight. Maybe a banana smoothie can wash it down for me. For those that like an exotic bet, I am thinking of getting a bookie mate to set a book of odds, on excuses the GWS will give for you know who not playing round 13, against us at the G. I think he is an absolute certainty to be a no show.

3 days to go, as the tension mounts.

You are worse than Sybil.

4.

Ah yes. Well that will be my last tip on horseracing for Demonland. Great name by the way, how did you come up with it? You should communicate with our own Bean Dailey.

I see we have a training session on friday at 9.45 at gosch's paddock. I have the day off so will be there. Hope to see or maybe meet a few demonlanders there if you are free. A bonus could be the first appearance of the newly drafted boys, if they are locals.

I was dragged there against my will.

I found the perfect place for the annual GWS Best and Fairest dinner, the [snip - name of establishment deleted for legal reasons - WJ] in Little Bourke Street Melbourne. The food was ordinary, the service pathetic, the bill rip off and overcharging extraordinary and most importantly, except for my table the other 98% of the people there would know absolutely nothing about AFL football.

That would suit me fine. Sarah Murdoch is not only beautiful, but loaded as well. She could get us a huge sponsorship by convincing her husband that we are the way to go. Also she could have the opposition phones hacked so we could get all the inside info on their gameplans and general dirt, to be used as needed.

Just outlined the Foxtel broadcast of the draft and it looks like another shambles as last year was. In our favour it will be all over for us in a few minutes. Only 5 days to go for those that are still excited.

I thought Bauer was a certainty, so it has less chance than him. She will run well though.

I am loathe to say this but Serengeti Miss racing at Mornington saturday 1.45. Have a small bet each way.

That is a pretty low comment for a President of a rival club to make.

You are right I was wrong. 3. 2010 NAB Rookie Draft: GWS Giants to have Selections 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8. 4. 2011 NAB Rookie Draft: GWS Giants to alternate NSW priority selections with the Sydney Swans. GWS Giants to have first selection.

No, I am sure GWS get the first few rookies as well.

More details on you know who in Sun today. What a web.

Glad it didn't sting the shorter leg.

That is my real nickname which I have had for about 40 years. I adopted Redleg when I first came on Demonland as my son had used Scoop Junior for his demonland name. Therefore i am only Redleg on here. There are those that only use my nickname when speaking to me, such as WJ and Mrs. WJ.

I hit the big 60 in February but as a leap year baby it will be my 15th birthday. I have 2 kids 31 and 29 ( Scoop Junior) and 1 grandchild 23 months. Hoping for many more little demons.

Did you share some with your wife or devour it all yourself.

We shall speak thursday night next week and see if we have anything to talk about.

Told you all no one cares about this draft. We have had 2 countdowns started and stopped on this thread already, without a whimper. I will remember this as the CCL draft, the "couldn't care less" one. More proof can be found on the Draft Board, where I posted the last post nearly 5 hours ago and we are a bit over a week away from the draft.
