You forgot the Indians "and the call centres shall inherit the earth"

personally i don't see why we can't train twice a week at the G certainly there are other clubs in the afl who train on their home ground this decision however was made many decades ago when mfc was not aligned to mcc and extra clubs also made the mcg their home ground it would be difficult politically to wind back the clock now the mcc would also claim they need the time to get the ground into top condition and training would interfere with that

We did officially renew our relationship with the MCC under Jimmy We are now one of the MCC sporting clubs

Actually you are referring to his SECOND interview His first interview was to a journo on the Sun and was the basis of the newspaper article. This preceded his SEN on-air interview This was where the Cameron reference came from and the confusing references to 2007/2008 On the SEN interview he accused the PLAYERS of tanking not the coach. This is the first time anyone has claimed that and he based it purely on opinion only. And THAT is offensive

Dees 27 points my wife will be removing all sharp objects from the house this weekend just in case Edit: this prediction is from the heart.....the head thinks otherwise

HWFUA - you know who HWDOU - Turtle McLean HWCOS - Sooky Gardner

??????????/

just after delusions of conspiracy stage, i think

I seem to be stuck at stage 69 shouldn't complain, s'pose

they are both melbourne unsupporters

Hey Pants, are these Fisherman Pants new or second hand?

I listened to the SEN Gardiner interview and he clearly accused the players of tanking He didn't talk of coaches 'tricks' but talked of the way the players played this is a very DIFFERENT accusation and he should be pulled up on it He basically implied the players (under instruction or not) deliberately played poorly Why has no-one picked up this

The Turtle is not content to just enjoy the Carlton Daft But he has to have a bit of Melbourne Bitter too Dog

Positives this year (in alphabetical order)

I don't think you really believe that Nasher

I've heard GA won't be playing due to general soreness

OK But the problem is how do you define tanking - I don't think you can Player promotion? Player demotion? Playing in new position? Slow rotations? Benching players? Early operations? General soreness? Resting players? Failure to tag a player? Giving players KPIs which impact their natural game? and the list goes on and on the only thing I think they can do is reduce the predictability of draft (tanking) rewards

So, gardner is saying that Daniher was tanking? This is certainly a new twist......or did I read it wrong?

doesn't excuse sheahan for not asking brock the hard questions and being a professional journo this is not the only time recently that sheahan has gratuitously pi55ed on the club he professes to support i think he has an agenda with cs and/or cc and couldn't give a toss for the club as for G. Healy, he's already persona non grata and not a journo anyway

you gotta love the irony though (if only brocky knew what that was) leaving because of dee's tanking and going to a club known widely as 'carltank' of course the journos don't ask the hard questions......yet let it stew for a while......then they can have tomorrows beatup story....then the next day..etc. that's how it works mike sheahan really is a little slimey muck-raker who can't be bothered to really research a story I hope the dees make him persona non grata at the club

no surprises there - dumb bogan is as dumb bogan does kicks a game winning goal (accidentally) to earn himself 5 minutes of fame and the blood rushes to his head (mouth) funny thing is if he hadn't kicked that goal he would have been the villain as he directly cost at least three Richmond goals that I counted should've stuck to celebrating with a few wheelies in the car park and some obscene twitters

You mean that's carpets they're dropping? Serious?

Brock saying he and Bailey "were on the same page" gave me a little chuckle and a big face palm

without being rodentist can we agree it was a small rodent? B)
