Can we also get back Mayne Nicholas, Toohey's Blue, Drake and, of course, Snowy Mountain Water?

Opel should also sponsor the Opals.

I very occasionally sit in the outer so that I can meet up with my gardener and cook.

And change the rock to a great big steaming t**d.

Fast ball movement depends on team-mates getting into a position to receive the ball before their opponents cover the man/space. At the moment Neeld is clearly working on first phase footy, which is winning the contested ball (Tick. VG), and will no doubt develop second phase footy, which is getting players in the right spot to receive the ball (Needs to improve - a lot).

All players should be allowed to refuse interviews until they are at least 30.

Big deal. I raised tanking last year. And again several times already this year.

At least if we spoon it, we will get the first two draft picks. Or pick 1 and Viney. Maybe we should put off Jack Viney until 2013.

Can't be UDG. No mention of his mother-in-law.

What, you mean injured all the time?

If GWS are serious about Jamar and offer over the odds, we should take it.

Vince Lombardi: "If you aren't fired with enthusiasm, you will be fired with enthusiasm."

AFL footy is all about grunt. In a big game coaches say to their players "go out and win the ball against your direct opponent" or "stop your opponent getting the ball". If your player has less power than his opponent, it does not matter how skilled your bloke is, the opponent will mostly win out. I'm sick of watching our players look like kids against men, but until we can match it physically we can forget about winning big games and finals.

Spot on. Nic Nat was a huge flight risk. And is a key reason we did not draft him.

I said the same thing in the same way several months ago and got the same reaction.

That was Lee van Cleef. Clint replied: "If you shoot me you won't see a cent of that money."

So, was there ANY group meeting of the Demon indigenous players? Perhaps after the Jurrah rumpus. Seems like a strange story to make up out of the blue.

You rang?

There is every chance Thommo saw the Melbourne rumour as a chance to beat up the AFL over a supposed inconsistency vis-a-vis his mate Matthew Rendell.

I buy in, you buy in, he, she or it buys in. We buy in, you (p) buy in, they buy in. Just making sure we can all decline "buy in" correctly in the present tense for future application. Speaking of future: I will buy in, you will buy in... okay, okay, I will stop now.

Beamer looked like a bunyip in the headlights.

Oh, and maybe the venerable headmaster of St Bedes should ring up Thommo and ask him to pull the shots at St Bedes teachers. Venerable. St Bede. That's a joke, boy. I keep pitchin' 'em, you keep missin' 'em.

Patrick Smith said on KB this morning that there was a rumour going around about Neeld and the indigenous group, but all the journos did their due diligence and discovered that the rumour was nonsense. Thommo did not do his DD, and just went with the rumour. It's what separates professional journalists from wannabe opinionistas. PS: Not for a moment saying all journos are paragons of journalistic excellence.

Tick. VG.
