    Being partial to the odd banana smoothie, I was aware of the hike in prices, as I have been told often by the cafe's that they are not doing them as they are too expensive to buy. Suppose the good thing is that my diet won't suffer as they must be quite fattening.

    Funny how it seems to happen to us regularly. Last week Rioli, Sewell and Lewis came back for Hawks and won them the game while we lost Jurrah and you know who. This week Ottens, Ling, Stevie J and maybe Mooney are back for the Cats, not that they wouldn't beat us without them. Stars come back against us and are best on ground and we seem to lose a player or two from the selected lineup on the day.

    Lately I have been enjoying Baby I Love Your Way by Big Mountain and dare I say it, Valerie by Amy Winehouse.

    I'm getting really [censored]. That other thread has got to 24 pages and here we are languishing on only 6. Start posting people, this is a real challenge. There must be so much more to life than discussing "you know who".

    My link Didn't want to put anything too controversial in.

    45 Is it me or the computer. I follow all your steps and then press the "insert link" and then "add reply" on Demonland. It comes up but you can't click on it. Do you know what is wrong.
  8. Redleg replied to Redleg's post in a topic in Melbourne Demons
    Yes. I will try again after amateurs game I am off to watch.

    I get to your last instruction and it comes up as a link but then you can't get into the link when it is posted. What am i doing wrong.
  10. Redleg replied to Redleg's post in a topic in Melbourne Demons
    Thanks 45 I will do a test run and then delete.

    Can someone tell me step by step how you link an article.

    Welcome to this thread. Feel free to post here 100 times but try and change the topics. PS. Obviously no one on the other thread has seen the Age article today on you know who's knee.

    Can you believe it, that other bloody thread is up to nearly 900 posts, the 3rd time around. Full of conjecture and speculation with one poster nearly at 100 posts. I can see a total meltdown of the board when the decision is announced. For those with other interests, Melbourne may give up the Grand Prix and Cadel Evans is set for the ride of his life. Go Aussie, win the bloody thing.

    THE AFL will press ahead with plans to set up its own player agent system, despite admitting it will be a conflict of interest. The AFL wants to establish a separate body to act on behalf of young players before they are drafted and can be approached by accredited agents. The move is likely to set the league on a collision course with the current player agents. AFL boss Andrew Demetriou said there would be no issue with the league managing young players and trying to develop the game at the same time, even if there was some conflict. "Of course it's a conflict but I think people have got to be aware that there are legitimate times where conflicts of interest can occur, as long as they're managed properly, in accordance with good corporate governance," Demetriou said ] Next.

    I have the diver down there doing repairs. The thread is still ship shape though.

    As the posts rise on that other thread they are back to fighting each other again. I wonder how long it will take till it is locked, that will make 3 so far.

    I am a little embarrassed to raise this here as it originates on the other thread, but I won't post there, though I think it is an interesting point. Robbie F raised the issue that if you know who doesn't sign with GWS this year, then GWS, as they have offered him a contract can't take another uncontracted player this year.He said that if we signed up everyone we wanted to keep while you know who is deciding whether to leave, they couldn't make an offer to anyone else, until the decision was made. If we secure our boys then no one is available to them to grab this year. I don't think that is correct. I don't think they are limited in how many offers they can make, but only in how many they can actually take under this uncontracted player poaching rule. They are limited to getting 1 player but I don't know of any limit on offers that can be made. What Robbie is saying is that if we sign up everyone we want to keep and then you know who stays, we will not lose anyone to them that we want to retain and that the club may be using the next few weeks to do this. Can someone clarify this.

    It was, but if you lose 2 players , like the Crows,did, you are then short 1 player. The rule helps clubs that lose 1 player as only 21 players on rotation are available to play.

    Bit unfair. Before Johncock got injured they were 6 goals up and he was their best player. Then they lost another player and played 1 short. You can't win playing short these days.

    Can't believe it, we are 172 posts ahead of the new TS thread. That should last about 30 minutes.

    Our favourite female TV reporter on 10 news said that Aussie wasn't returning to Melbourne this year and wanted to play for a local Darwin team, the Thunder, next year. He will be delisted if that happens.

    Disappointing night for us, Aussie appears to have ended his AFL career and the Bombers come from 6 goals down to win,after Johncock who was starring, went off, Then the Crows lost another player and played one short for the rest of the game.

    Noble Game at 12.45. Probably a bit short this one at 2000m but will run again at Caulfield on 30th over 2400m and that will be his day.

    My life feels so empty now. Are there any racehorses in the Harry Potter stories. Actually mine won at Geelong today and have another racing at Caulfield tomorrow.
