More news in Harry Potter land. The education department has now said that Harry can't receive the gifts even though another school is giving their star pupil the same sort of gifts. Even someone outside the school is banned from giving him the gifts. Latest news is that a headmaster at another school is being replaced by his deputy headmaster but he still wants to be headmaster and may change schools. The president of his school council is running around trying to stir up trouble with all of the other schools so that people don't concentrate on his school. The education department is really stuffing up the education system.

Don't want to shock anyone but I haven't seen a Harry Potter movie or read one of the books. Tonight I taped two HP movies on foxtel but note that they are pretty recent. Will I ruin it if I watch the later movies without seeing the earlier ones? PS. I believe that in one of the books, Harry is made a huge offer by a new school to enrol with them and leave his schoolmates of the last 2 years. No one knows if Harry will leave as he said he will leave it until the end of the school year to decide. His current school has made an offer to keep him, which includes a new desk and bigger food serves in the school tuck shop, but that is way below the offer made by the new school, which includes a chauffeur driven ride to school each day and an exemption from Maths and Physics for the whole year. Apparently the education department is doing everything they can to get Harry to move and it is really pissing off his schoolmates. They have started a blog and are up to 60 pages of posts. The suspense is driving everyone mad. Some people think they know what he is doing while others are insisting they don't. Even the local paper, radio and TV have got in on the act. Can't wait until we find out at the end of the book. PPS. Apparently the new school is in a crap neighbourhood where no one would know Harry and it is far from his family. Now the education department has said they will compensate Harry's old school if he goes with a new library book but the school will no doubt want at least 2 books.

Not sure but I think I started getting bored at about 8-10 episodes and stopped watching. Hopefully you will hang in there longer.

Why thank you. I aim to please.

Yes, now 1524.

We are 1525 posts behind the TS thread. I am getting concerned we won't catch up.

Just a hunch. Depends of course if he is fit. He is a Darwin boy. He can play as a sub and then, when on, play forward which won't require much running, but he could be dangerous around goals. He may give LJ a lift. Playing at Casey in these conditions may not help him and if he plays poorly, does he miss 3 more games as Casey then has a bye and he would need at least a good Casey game if he plays with them. He is a leader and can do some leading by being with the group and part of the team. He will have many people at the ground supporting him and he may lift for the occasion, given he played poorly in the indigenous round. Lastly the Coach hinted that he might play.

Think Davey is a big chance to be our sub in "Brutus the Crocodile" land. We need to warn the players to be aware of midges and put the repellant on.

You have won already, the right to post on this thread.

Think I should have used the bye better and watched some Harry Potter movies. Haven't seen one or read the books. Is there a pointy nosed, redheaded female, who is economical with the truth in them?

I'm finding one of those redheads particularly taxing at the moment.

Any news on any other threads? Must be a quiet news day.

Enjoyed the first few episodes and then I found it started to drag and get boring. Let us know if you have a different view after say 7-8 episodes.

If he is fit and over the injury, why not play him as the sub. That way he gets some game time and can probably play as our small forward, a position we are not covering. Then he wouldn't need a lot of game time yet could still add to our forward line. Don't know what good it would serve him running around Casey if conditions are like they were on sunday. Then does he miss another week or do you play him in the senior team even if he hasn't played well because of the Casey bye. Normally I would say come through the VFL, but the game being in Darwin and with the indigenous factor it might be the best option if he was the sub.

Mentioned today that Flash may play against Port in Darwin. Could he be the sub to ease him back?

Spoke to Jack Viney at Casey on sunday and discussed a few of his team mates at Vic Metro. He is not tall but is strongly built like his father. Can still grow a couple of inches I would think. He is a nice boy and looking forward to his AFL career with Melbourne. I hope it is a very good one. Was very impressed with Max Gawn in conditions that couldn't have been worse for him. His mobility is fantastic. He could be a very good player for us.

It didn't appeal to me.

Too highbrow for me.

Do they deal with horseracing?

Are you talking about Harry Potter and one of his characters. I have never seen one of his films. It would be good if I could get the glow stick going again.

You are treading on thin ice with that line in this thread WJ. I won't be in a better mood tomorrow as my favourite horse Briefed, who was running 2nd at Flemington today and was probably going to win the sprint final, bled, then was eased out of the race and will be banned from racing for 3 months.

I think my glow stick has just gone out.

Robert Plant, because its hard to sing a song without them. I know what you mean though. Jimmy Page is a great guitarist.
