Redleg

What worries me is his attitude. Twice in the Bombers game he stood on the mark as a shot for goal was taken and he did absolutely nothing and I mean nothing, to put off the player kicking for goal. He did not even lift his arms and barely looked at the player. Later in the game when about 130 points up a Bombers defender was jumping all over the place trying to save a goal from our kick. That is attitude.

As long as it could be done so both teams have a proper break before and after the game so that their season is not compromised. I am talking about the future of course, as this season would not be compromised as it is already only about player development and a few wins at best.

In Healesville today and there is a great little cafe, that if memory serves me well, makes fantastic banana bread. Hopefully Mrs. Redleg will let me have a slice for lunch.

No I accept that it is entrenched on the AFL calendar, it is just the saturation coverage of these 2 clubs this week that annoys me. Yes it is Anzac day and a big crowd, but this is an 18 team competition and the winner still gets 4 points. I just think it is way over the top. However, I am sure their sponsors are delighted.

Heard Welch speak last week and I thought he was good in the huddle. Don't know about him during the week though.

Craig has said he won't coach again and he wouldn't take our job anyway, as he would be seen as possibly undermining Mark.

Aren't they the same clubs who have been mentioned as being at the forefront of supplements, sport science and alternative therapies over the years. Who can forget the intravenous drip bandages of the Lions, or the boys to men bodies of the Coast and Crows in the 90's or the stuff that the Hawks were rumoured to be taking in their flag years. Now the Cats and Bombers and Pies have been mentioned in relation to players taking substances. Yes they all probably worked hard in the gym, but did they have help outside the Gym?

How bad do we think we are?

Since we did miss out on him, he will probably be a star.

I think ever.

Conflict? If correct, who would pay his salary, whose job would he be doing?

Is it just me, or is anyone else sick of the saturation Anzac day coverage of the same 2 clubs that play every year. It seems to be even more than GF week. Also, why rave about the Anzac day medal, when only 2 clubs are eligible?

I meant even though we were solvent, yet because we lost a couple of football games, some were urging the AFL to take us over. It was just absurd to suggest it, if one had even the slightest knowledge of Corporate Law.

Most people tire of condescending posters, clearly the penny hasn't dropped yet.

I can't believe you have written that. I am just stunned. So much of what is written here is based on media allegations, without proof and I have railed against it.

Or was it contrived solely so that the AFL didn't lose face, after their QC told them they had nothing and would get smashed in a Court hearing? Also was it agreed to by the MFC, because they were told no more AFL money and you play in New Guinea and Mexico for your home games from now on? PS. I believe it had absolutely nothing to do with the good of the game. Do you have any different information that would assist me in changing my view?

I think it was only the threat from Neeld to see him in Court that made him retract. I heard that threat.

I posted this on another thread and I would love to know the answer. Is Demetriou more angry with us for answering a specific question he asked, which has proven to be the correct answer, but at the same time omitting to volunteer further information to a question not specifically asked, than he is with Essendon for injecting players in the stomach with unknown substances and having secret contracts that the AFL was not aware of? I would love any media person in this country to have the guts to ask that simple question.

I think Range Rovers can only hoot once.

Unless it is us they are safe. We are the AFL whipping boys.

Would love to win this week and get in the eight, just to query those who said we as a solvent club, should be put in administration by the AFL.

Swan took a trip for a few weeks to Arizona mid season.

If you are correct he shouldn't be running the game.

Let me ask this question: Is Demetriou more angry with us for answering a specific question he asked, which has proven to be the correct answer, but at the same time omitting to volunteer further information to a question not specifically asked, than he is with Essendon for injecting players in the stomach with unknown substances and having secret contracts that the AFL was not aware of? I would love any media person in this country to have the guts to ask that simple question. It won't happen with the football media we have, they want to keep their footy pass.

Very funny. Always loved the Pythons.
