The No T$ No B$ Thread
Was discussing Dees with Mrs. Redleg and her complaint was that bloody Carlton fans seem to get great games, big crowds, lots of highlights, wins and value for the dollar. We don't. PS. I love her because she loves the Dees and hates Carlton like me. PPS. I wish I had some banana bread.

In all seriousness though, I am extremely disappointed that I have lost interest in this season. I am still going to all of the games in Victoria, including Geelong on saturday, despite having two horses running at Caulfield. What has ruined my enjoyment is the inconsistent performances of the team, the speculation over you know who, the inability to beat victorian teams other than Richmond and Essendon, pathetic performances at Etihad, players getting injured or ill and pulling out on the day of games, Jurrah not dominating like I had hoped, some players not progressing in their football and others going backwards, speculation about the Coach and fixturing that leaves so much to be desired ( such as 4 games in 23 days and always playing at Geelong), seeing Carlton doing well, etc, etc. In many ways I wish the season would end so I can look forward to 2012. To add some balance, I have enjoyed our wins and the fact that we have blooded new players and that some of our boys have kicked on. I am optimistic for the future with our list of young players but I am getting impatient to see some consistent winning football from my team.

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.

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.
