Redleg

Love those Redlegs.

What I struggle to come to grips with is, what has pathetic foot and hand skills got to do with not following the game plan.

Can feel my eyes moistening.

On an examination of the draft on a pick by pick basis there will always be room for the genius of hindsight. My annoyance is that I can't recall us drafting one champion in the last 10 years. Every other club seems to have been able to get one or more truly great players. We haven't. In my opinion Rivers is the closest to it we have come.

Are you aware he suffered a pretty severe heart problem and has overcome a fair bit of adversity to continue playing?

Personally I would like a wealthy Businessman like a Ron Walker ( Melbourne supporter ) who would lead by example by putting his hand in his pocket and getting his wealthy mates to do the same.

Ok delist Davey now. Did you see the Essendon game? Do you know what destroyed the Roos, the pace of their Aboriginal players. Yes, lets dump our good one.

Good move, drop Davey, our only really quick, defensive forward and freakish goalkicker after one average game.

He killed us after a year out of the game, enough said.

I think fitness played some part in the game today as I noticed early in the game several Demons puffing and with their hands on hips and bent over. That tells you something. Don't know if you can blame it for the pathetic skills though.

It ended.

Me too. Happy to see the Urinator only kick a couple.

That said then the Footy "Shoe" has lost its sole/soul.

As just advised by the Melbourne membership department: if you are an AFL Melbourne Club support member you will no longer receive a separate Melbourne Membership card. Same goes for all of the other clubs. To get in to Sandy games show your AFL card with Melbourne Club support written on the back.

Only if you want the best backman playing on him and freeing someone else up ( Robbo ), someone who can use a hard body in the forward line, want someone who can kick a long goal, give a hard bump to an opponent, knock the ball down to Davey, take a forward line throw in, lead the troops etc.

6-8 weeks. Might be placed on the long term injury list. Won't hurt him at this stage of his career, better to get himself right.

Lost by two goals in a shortened game. Possibles Bruce ( probably a certainty ) Dunn, Wheatley and C. Johnson.

Barry, since Mavis has the car, do you want a lift to TBO.

I can't believe we are nearly at game 1 of 2008 and we look like having 5-6 players out injured. Are we cursed?

How did they know he broke "curfew." Did someone come around and check his bed? Mitigating circumstances certainly do affect the situation. What if a family member was sick and he wanted to stay at the hospital with them , or he had to rush someone to a hospital etc etc. Clearly if there were mitigating circumstances he would not have been punished.

Since they now want 18 teams, merging would reduce the number, so it is off the agenda. Also, as they want the team on the Gold Coast to be a real Gold Coast team, based there, that lets us out.

Who knows.

Anymore than the great Robbie Flower recording "Macho Man" and performing it on TV. I didn't know you were not allowed to be a media performer if you were a footballer.

Calm down WJ.
