Redleg

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.

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.

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.
