You would probably like Elton John's Saturday Night's Alright for Fighting or that classic Everybody Was Kung Fu Fighting.

Sloonie disagrees.

Probably against midgets.

Glad I didn't say Dancing Queen. Should I have said ACDC - Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap or It's a Long Way To The Top if You Want To Rock And Roll.

Not if you like The Winner takes It All.

They would be better than my dinner last night.

He is on the GC with me and our wives.

And from memory I think we got the last 3 frees of the game in the backline in the last few minutes. Before that it was 28 - 10. I actually thought it was the worst umpired game I have ever seen in the AFL. It was like the AFL decreed Port must win at their new venue.

Don't think that will happen as PS will work for the club whether or not he provides any value and salary will be paid to him. That satisfies the ATO. How you get the job is irrelevant to them only what you are paid.

Great quote.

$7.99k bananas in Surfers Paradise Woolworths. Will be up here next weekend when international game is on and hopefully can find a few AFL footballers for a chat.

Fixture out tomorrow, should see some heavy posting.

I keep reading how well we have done with two 1st round picks for our GWS recruit, but like WYL I don't buy it. We wouldn't swap our pick 2 JT to Port for 8&9 and here we are getting about 13 & 16 for number 1 pick in the country. Would Tigers swap Martin for picks 13 & 16, would Hawks swap Hodge for 13 & 16. The compensation is nothing like what was lost. The only thing I hope is that we have dodged a bullet if the injuries are as bad as I have heard. I wish people would stop saying we were fairly compensated because we weren't. We were just compensated according to AFL guidelines not fairly or adequately.

Can't believe it, there I am at the airport with Mrs. Redleg on our way to the GC, with my Herald Sun in hand ready to read about YKW's dad, when YKW walks past me. He looked at me, recognized me and looked away. Think he will be doing a bit of that for the next few months.

Agree.

Let them have some fun. They are entitled to be upset and it is pretty harmless compared to some things that have been said. After all its not every day that a number 1 pick walks out on his club within 2 years of being drafted. What am I saying, it has never happened before.

Good post. I love the lateral thinking. It's worthy of raising, as that expresses or anger, even though we already know the answer.

Thanks for that. Well at least we all get a much clearer understanding of what went on. I would rather discuss fruit than him or his old man.

I mentioned on a new thread about you know who's father now working as a recruiter for GWS, that I predicted exactly that some months ago. I also said that I can't find my post and would like to revisit it. Does anyone on here know a way of finding an old post by some search method, that is quicker than going post by post.

Americain was very impressive winning the Moonee Valley Cup saturday but rises to 58 kg's. Craig Williams mount Dunaden is in with 54 and Jukebox Jury at 57 has less than Americain yet gave him weight and beat him in France, so he is really in the race. I would be taking the french trifecta for a start.

Just as I predicted months ago. If someone can find my post for me I would like to re read it.

Who?

But what if he was a sensational player who was available at our pick. Lets say he is a minor Buddy. You would draft him in a heartbeat. We already have the backup in place for guys like LJ.

In the words of Kennett, I can't confirm or deny details.

So we play GWS twice next year and first one in round 13 here. I am prepared to tip this far out, you know who, will be out injured that game. We play them again in round 21, away.
