I got told off for my habit of being a little sarcastic and nasty when talking to my friends and now as a result I have changed to a full time, saccharine sweet guy, giving off continual compliments to them and it is driving them crazy.

I know you need a break between debauches, you can use that to post.

I think David would know a lot about culture. Played with Travis Johnson and Daniel Ward and all three went broke as self confessed gambling addicts. Plenty of others were seen regularly at racetracks and TAB’s. Thankfully all three sought help and have turned their lives around. Yes we have had a poor pre season in the media, but aside from Smith, nothing to do with culture and clearly agenda driven, unless you think a boy’s personal mental health issues are a club culture problem. I am disgusted at the media treatment of Clarry and several media people should be ashamed of themselves. Michael Warner you are at the head of that queue. How much have we heard about Carlton’s new recruit Elijah Hollands and his Court drug appearance? How much did we hear about Bailey Smith after an initial mention? Same for Ginnivan. There are plenty of other examples of bad behaviour in the AFL that gets little mention after the first airing if at all. Certain clubs are treated differently by the media, why. Yes we have our share of problems, but we are not pariahs, yet treated like one in the media. There is an obvious agenda out there in footy media land and probably more one.

Might ring Michael Warner for a few names, as being an expert in tearing things down, he should know a few people who can rebuild.

I will send the builders in to fix up all the houses being trained down.

Quiet weekend coming up for true footy fans, Dees not playing.

I believe if your namesake was playing in the QF last year, Gus would still be playing and we would have been into the Prelim Final and possibly winning the flag. Maynard would never have done that if Rodney was out there.

He needs to get some aggression. He is far too timid in his approach to the contest. While a good kick, he will only mark it, if it is delivered lace out in front of him and we are not renowned for such good delivery. Maybe with Salem and Billings better delivery he can be more productive.

Another Beatles fan.

I think that is now designated "mid year round", or "not round 12 yet round". There is also a suggestion to rename it "the one after round 10 round". I believe one of the AFL Commission want it named "the round before I go on my holidays round". PS: I await the inevitable multiple further suggestions.

Agree Slarti. There is more to this than just his football performance and those that know best will decide if he plays. Those that would appear to know best have said/implied that multiple times. On pure footy he would appear right, on his other issues I wouldn't have a clue.

Not according to AFL. He is now 204 cms and is taller than his twin Ben who is 202 cms. No way he is only 1 cm taller than 199 cm Verall.

McKay Height:204 cm Weight:99 kg Verrall height: 199cm. weight: 95kg probably 1-2 kgs more as that was last year.

Grundy and Gulden hammy strains would be a good start.

They improve our disposal and forward connection.

I like your belief.

Or they count Friday’s community game as 1 match.

Thanks. I like watching new players, to see what they are like.

I wonder if AMW could get a chance against the Swans with Kozzie out. Even though they are a bit different, it could depend on whether McAdam is fit.

Does that mean Jefferson and Tholstrup are out of the main game?

Welcome back . BTW, the boys are training up a storm, which should hit Melbourne ( the city ) about 9.00 pm tonight.

Needed Pies participating for that to happen.

Not sure of his best position, but he has been played mainly hbf at Casey.

The kid can play, he just didn't have a good one in the first practice game. Two efforts going back with the flight of the ball, taking possession and giving it off beautifully showed bravery and class. Just on that he will make it.

Normal game.
