Its the public v inside club face. Without being inside the club you don't really know what is going on. When in Public Bailey is all straight bat.

Great news, a bronze statue is going to be erected honouring Norm Smith among others. Long overdue. http://www.heraldsun.com.au/sport/afl/melbourne-premiership-coach-norm-smith-to-be-honoured-with-a-statue-at-the-mcg/story-e6frf9jf-1226071350868

He is all class!!

Thanks, didn't know the difference (Don't really care) But the following places have a Hypobaric chamber: Institutions with hypobaric chambers from wikipedia... U.S. Army Institute of Environmental Medicine, Natick, MA, University of North Dakota's John D. Odegard School of Aerospace Sciences, Aviation Training Naval Operational Medicine Institute provides operational medical and survival training and consultative services to military forces worldwide. Arizona State University Polytechnic Campus Aircrew training, research, and other uses. Available to the public by appointment. Royal New Zealand Air Force Aviation Medicine Unit Hyperbaric chamber, in contrast to hypobaric chambers, these place subjects under increased atmospheric pressure. I'm sure NZ could do with some money from the pies Anyway who just play whoever they put on the field, it doesn't really matter if the boys play to their potential as a team.

I don't see way they would go all the way to the US for the benefits of altitude when they can sit in a pressure chamber here and get the same benefit? As I don't think they are going for endurance but healing.? Besides he'll have to sit for 15 odd hours in a place each way. Unless there is something in the supposed trip I'm missing.

The question should be, why are you following them around on twitter they are footballers...not the messiah. Maybe Scully dones't like twitter etc and told the boys not to mention him as he likes his privacy. Just cause some people like to share crao about their lives, not everyone does!

it is a good article though.

first gamer on Judd, sure, simple order, go out and make sure he doesn't get the ball. Don't worry about getting it yourself. Its a team game and a role would be great and it's one job so for a first gamer easy to follow. Would most likely give away a few free kicks but at least judd will never be alone and will to contest. Then again we need someone of murphy and gibbs as well.

On the AFL website: http://www.afl.com.au/news/newsarticle/tabid/208/newsid/114771/default.aspx Not knowing much,but the article indicates on paper we'll have a $6m asset to build on and that the debt will be serviced by the club on current turnover. Until some changes in 2012. Looks a good long term investment.

Eagles are like Dee's of 98, lot of young blokes but the old hands having a good year. We went from wooden spoon to Prelim... Remember WC still have a bunch of premiership players running around.

bumper week, ranked #365 in this weeks DT round (13k odd overall).. wont last though everything went perfect except for cpt Swan...

Looking at those stats, eh would have been a dreamteam star!! Yeah, not the biggest ruckman in his day, remember his contest with "harry" madden. But his value around the ground changed the nature of ruckmen and their role.

At this point in time its a legal product and provide revenue for the club. Personally I barely notice it and I don't gamble, have a hard time spending $2 on the 20c pokies here at the burswood casino. But the amount of gambling advertising is now mad and having it at the footy game should be banned (on scoreboard). If you want to bet go to a tab or log online etc. Even when we are one of the big clubs in Melbourne again, we'll still need the revenue stream IMHO.

RIP Bobby A man for all the people.

Nothing in that article, the journo obviously needed to meet a deadline for weekend money so printed a nothing article. Jimmy is honest and from the article was simply answering a question along the line of "what did you say to scully" and jimmy obviously replied. "just be honest" and that is Jimmy's way, no playing games. Be honest up front and then he know where he stands and know what he has to work with. If scully told him on confidence he was thinking or leaving etc, jimmy would have accepted the answer but also start working to retain him. Since that hasn't happened I believe scully has not a decision to leave and simply doing what he said he was going to do at the start of the season.

maybe trained with the "right" attitude

I'm in too

Yes physical benefits but I think the main benefit is the bonding through trying physical conditions and pushing each other. Basically developing a culture where in the last qtr when exhausted they can push each other to the finish line. Sure similar things can be done at sea level, but thin air has very different effects on people and needs leads to more, effort, concentration and a will to push on. All great attributes.

Major KPMG sponsorship coming our way?

You were right "the demonwithin" well done on your info, hopefully next time its a good news story. Now hopefully Grimes recovers quickly and to 100% .

No just an interesting observation. If you make such a claim you should be able to back it up with evidence. We'll hear from the club soon.

I always find it interesting that the worst news from an unknown source, comes from members with a low number of posts

this is a nothing thread...

Hey DaveyJones'sLocker In my opinion last night Watts was the best overall player for us for the game. No he didn't get the ball the most etc etc, but when he had opportunity he went and got it. Also as most people are aware the Tv cuts out most of what happens on the ground, and he worked hard to try and give options to other players. Lots of great heads of kicks that went out of bounds or to a beagle player instead of to him as intended etc etc

I have no illusions that they must be shattered, but after a game its too late. As I said...its how the clubs responds, and i don't mean sack the coach, but use the embarrassment as a drive. Maybe the whole team that played should front up to a media conference and explain their shocking effort. The same way Beamer had to about drinking. Take responsibility in a public forum.
