Can think of something more depressing, our performances for the last 8 years. 2nd last again. No one gets a Rising Star weekly award. No one in the AA squad. No interest in the finals. No champion in the team. Plenty to be depressed about.

The same 6, I postulated as our forward line next year. If only.

Ah yes the Days of our Lives.

I will keep away from astrology and just continue with the numerology.

Can we please not take every single bit of everyone else's trash.

85 on Wednesday which I will do as follows: 8 & 5 = 13, 1 & 3 = 4 which makes it Watts Wednesday. This is a day where you fall over if someone comes near you and if someone wants to take your football away from you, you let them and don't chase after them. If someone throws your football back to you, before catching it, you look behind you to see if there is a midget there, who could bump you. You then proceed to drop the football onto the ground, even though you are a foot taller than the person near you.

You are my hero DF.

Wow!

Agree. Gave their best.

You can also throw in we had no rising star winner.

We have a great new system in the AFL, labelled Free Agency. What it is in simple terms, is the raping of weaker clubs by the stronger ones. A team that is equal top on wins and has won 3 flags in the last 7 years, took our CHB last year and will allegedly take our FB this year. Oh yes, but we will get compo they will say. Yes we will get a ND pick, which if not traded will mean we will get a skinny 18 year old kid, to replace a strong, experienced player, in the peak years of his career.

Can't believe he has accepted the penalty. Then again he is always injured the first few rounds.

Today is Toumpas Tuesday as with 86 days to go to the ND, if you add 8 & 6 you get 14 and then add 1 & 4 and you get 5, Jimmy's number, hence Toumpas tuesday. Then again, I could have stopped at 14 and named it Dunny day.

Only doing it because WJ requested it. I will have to spice it up a bit.

Yarran is a brilliant player who can just go missing. Carlton mate furious with his effort on the weekend. Can set up goals or kick them.

Buddy would look at that, with what he has got off this year and laugh his head off.

Tuesday is 86

Blokes punch others in the guts every week and get off. Blokes like Merrett deliberately hurt players and get off. This was innocuous, nothing, no one hurt, a forearm to the chest. Appeal MFC.

Amazing the commentators said nothing in it. Low impact yet he doesn't get insufficient force. Should have broken Swallow's nose and he would have got off. Rutten elbowed a player to the head running past and commentators said he was in real trouble. Result he gets off. Am pretty sure if Dawes still played in black and white jumper he would have got off. MRP is one big joke.

I think Malceski is more likely to go PSD if he comes to us. Otherwise he can go as a FA to another club or stay a Swan.I think we would want a Tyson/Salem type deal where get a player and a slightly lower pick than we give.

Bourke Street near Queen Street in CBD.

Might just revert back to his contract.

Think I saw Jaws there. What a frightening experience, haven't taken a bath since, only use the shower.

Couldn't disagree more. If you think that close losses are the same as thrashings then we clearly see it differently.

I share your disappointment on Blease, Tapscott and Strauss. Tapscott could never get injury free and is limited, being short, not quick and difficult to place when available. Blease just never became a true AFL footballer, lacking in fitness and attitude, but who possesses pace and a good goal sense, Strauss just obviously did not impress Roos. I disagree on Watts. I think he went backwards this year. The dislike for him on here is the clear view of most Demonlanders as a result of his lack of commitment to the ball and the 1%'s. he was a favourite of mine but he has worn me down. I have probably never seen a more scared footballer at AFL level. His inability to take a contested mark even against midgets is unparalleled. His lack of urgency at the contest is unbelievable. His tactic of falling to the ground at every opportunity when there is a contest is soul destroying. Nearly every ex player commentating has seen it and said it. All this from a nice guy who has great skills, something so many of his team mates lack. I could imagine him kicking 3 goals a week at Hawthorn where he would be given the footy on a plate, while he is holding back off his man and there is a turnover. But to me he is just so disappointing in his lack of effort. I recall gong to a Draft function for the MFC at the G in the Trengove year. I recall being told as we entered the room, I was with WJ, that we wouldn't take Daniel Talia at pick 13 but rather Gysberts and thenTapscott. WJ knew of them and after a short discussion with him I started to feel sick. From what I knew of Talia I saw a 10 year Defender. I was upset for quite a while after that night and now it has subsided to outright fury. I have no doubt if our recruiting was done by a few Demonlanders, in the know at the time, instead of Prendergast, we would have had a football team now.
