Redleg

At the risk of being howled down, I started my 1000th diet today and had a protein drink for brekky. Guess what, it was banana flavour. Problem tonight, I am going out for dinner, might just order a banana split. Been a good weekend so far, Carlton down to 5th and losing the double chance and possibly off to West Coast for a final. Tomorrow the Dees to bounce back with a more defence oriented game and less turnovers.

Those stats certainly surprized me. I am very happy to have Cook and Howe and look forward to both boys playing next year, after another pre season and some more gym work.

Nice way to spend an evening.

I usually tape the footy show and watch the news segment and then delete the rest. Yesterday they spruiked Damien Barrett unbelievably and said that he would have tons of news. The guy said nothing. He threw in that GWS was after Goldstein and then Andrew Swallow said it won't happen. That was it. This segment is now absolutely as bad as the rest of the show. I have a new nickname for Barrett now " the Recycler" as that is all he does, recycle old news and gets most of it wrong anyway. Hopeless.

Just wondering about all the salivating over the possibility of getting Malthouse to coach us. I recall many years back when Ron Barassi returned and many thought we would get a premiership, it was an unmitigated disaster. I wonder if someone highly credentialled and liked and respected, like Mark Neeld, would be a better way to go.

Matlhouse is 57

Whatever posters on here think, yes or no, Melbourne will not consider it.

I am waiting for someone to suggest Melbourne Disarray or Melbourne Chaotic.

I am starting to understand you.

Ah the solution. We play every game at night.

Do we kick well in the dark, because we certainly don't in daytime?

19 celsius sunday, nearly like summer football.

I really like Clint Bartram but unfortunately his disposal skills don't fit into a good AFL team.

He was at the foundation dinner last week and I am sure he was there as a supporter.

That can't be correct as he was delisted by them.

That is why it is funny when we say we should trade one of our players who is not wanted and not getting a game and expect a great deal in return. Incidentally Cornes was still getting a game and is 6 years younger than Junior when we let him go. Lets not also forget Cornes is a premiership player and we don't have too many of them. PS. Cornes is also 4 years younger than Bruce and goes a lot harder than him as well. Not saying we should go after him but he would get in our side as the hard bodied run with tagger.

Lunch.

Interesting the bottom club in the league has apparently told Cornes he is not wanted.

Judd.

For we are jolly good fellows.

We are an inclusive thread and welcome all, even the tempted. You will notice however that the creator of this thread has not yielded to temptation and nor will he. He may visit the evil thread from time to time but never will he contribute. Long live the Not a Scully Thread.

Can people not start a new thread everytime they post. This post fits nicely into many of the existing threads, as do many of the new threads started recently. It makes it hard to keep track.

Gee the Eagles won the spoon last year and now they look good, all in one year. Can we do it next year and rise right up the ladder?

My view on today. We tried hard. We have poor disposal skills, no make that terrible disposal skills. We have no game plan and have been poorly coached in respect to developing an effective one. I am not referring to Viney when I say that. We have not developed enough players on the list, too many have regressed. We have a couple of scared footballers in the side. Cure for a lot of our ills, a top Coach and top assistants.

Agree. However today we won the ball, we just murdered it when we had it.
