Ahh the 'look-away' ... even better! :D

In your rush to condemn, I think you're under the mistaken impression that Jaded posted about Newton.

7. Y_M at FF ?

"GC17 to have the capacity to sign 12 x 17 year-olds born in the January – April window (Jan-April 1992)." Will be interesting to see which side of the line the various prospects fall. Also, is GC be required/likely to take all 12? The quote (2009 draft thread) suggests not.

"Am I the only person who thought Warnock had a poor game? Mooney seemed to take a lot of marks and beat Warnock one on one a lot." I thought Warnock had a good game. Gave good drive on a number of occasions and didn't concede much. It was Rivers on Mooney that gave up a number easy marks, 3m mimimum off the pace.

CB and deanox on the money for mine.

"Their break even point is 12K, and off a crowd of 25K the GFC make a profit of 650,000 clean." That's even more impressive than I thought. By my calcs, under that deal, we would have made $100k with our 14k crowd.

See you there Hmm. We really need a Demon emoteicon. 38) Someone get the IP stat!

Forecast for Sunday: Partly cloudy. Isolated patches of fog and frost early in the morning. Light winds. City: Becoming cloudy. Min 8 Max 18" 38,736

Agreed Mono. I'm generally pleasantly surprised when a search doesn't take me 10+ minutes (with the 30 second flood control limitation, and trying different angles to get to what I'm after). Just searched now for 'injury list' and got an internal server error, which seems to be the default "search broken" response. Tried again, +30 sec, and got told there were no matches..

Unusually, I caught the radio this morning and heard some very defensive words from Mr Anderson. Wasn't impressed.

AFL Jeffed again. Must admit I agree with his comments.

I'll stop trying to promote thought. Yes it's pretty obvious players play different amounts of time in different positions. No, even if people want to mis-represent it, I made no claims as to Newton being "as good as Carey and better than J. Brown" Heaven forbid I tabulate current players GPG, why that would be "a ridiculous table".

Another table. Current MFC players GPG. 1.85 Robbo* 1.39 Newton 1.33 Wona (edit) 1.29 Davey 1.24 Green 1.04 Bruce 0.85 Bate 0.76 Dunn 0.69 Petterd 0.66 Sylvia 0.57 Miller * My apolagies re (and to) Robbo. The data bolds current senior players, which I guess Robbo technically is not.

LOL indeed 45. Clearly the table is the very definition of 'Newton is pretty much as good as Carey' Don't know why I didnt't post that in the first place. Hang on, let me edit it a second..

1st X Games :Gls -GPM =============|===|===== Schwarz--- 28:27 - 0.96 Franklin-- 20:21 - 1.05 JBrown---- 38:43 - 1.13 Neitz----- 17:20 - 1.18 ALynch---- 36:50 - 1.39 Newton---- 18:25 - 1.39 Green------20:28 - 1.40 Carey----- 25:38 - 1.52 Lloyd----- 16:25 - 1.56 Fevola---- 16:26 - 1.63 Capper---- 16:39 - 2.44 Richardson 33:87 - 2.64

Supposedly many of the changes the AFL in recent times have been geared towards Mums and Kids (and their dollars). What on EARTH would appeal to them about a 4.40pm Sunday game? (Leaving aside the particulars of yesterdays weather.) Can anyone name one thing?

CROWD: 15,580 at Skilled Stadium

... Never mind. Carry on.

Strangely I much preferred last weeks write up to this one. Cant please em all. Crows by 42.

FWIW I thought the posts in the other thread were extremely self serving and very hypocritcal (it was locked after all). Hence this OP. Now it's supposedly all about defending the honour of the MFC, and not kneecapping a distressed but passionate FFC supporter. Golf clap.

Yeah fair enough. I just didn't think that oh so silky voice had mind-control properties. Edit: HT: "Just simply stating the facts that we were outscored in three quarters yet still won the game." ......... *tickle*

Dunno why the 1 quarter thing keeps coming up. We led at quarter time, and led by more at half time ..

"Juice often appears to be looking to do the spectacular." "This might be because Newton actually has a bag of tricks" If/When Newton learns to play a micromillimetre within himself and his bag of tricks, look out. The increased work-rate and application shown is promising.

Nice one HT!
