Thanks Tas...some writeup Appreciate it ( and others )

Nice idea

Ill be interested to finally get along to a training ( soon ) Seems like the boys are really up for the season. thanks for the reports

Even as old and grump as I am I cant help but feel genuine excitement when Kent plays. Love how he take a game on. This guy has some real "X" factor about him. When he's up I reckon other players will lift in tune; not that some need to but he has a spring in his step this lad

As mentioned in anothr thread was having a big footy convo with two of my brothers in law at a family wedding over the weekend. Both are filth supporters ( most of wifes family IS !! ) one an ex afl player. Besides the 34 debacle talk got around to where we saw the season going. Both agreed EFC and CFC will fight out for spoon. Neither could see the Aints going very far ( me neither ) I was interested to hear that they seem to think Bucks isnt all that flavour of the month at Filthland. Both seemed to think 8th or 9th was about right for the Maggies this year.. ( fighting it out with Richmond no doubt !! ) Both thought Melbourne about right for massive improvement if, IF we can keep injuries to main players to a managable few ) Neither think Howe is worth a zac, amazed they took him but both acknowledged my prediction that they will struggle to score big as they have limited options...their fwd line is there weakness, even with Elliot. Neither rely on Cloke. Both see a massive difficulty in teams matching up on Hogan. If we can surround him with even a couple of so-so helpers other teams are in for a torrid afternoon ( yep, knew that !! ) Both thought wed go 50-50 for the year Made the comment we have to play with the big boys for 4 qtrs to really go anywhere and thought that might be 2017 and not this year....fair enough I said Neither would put up for my bet on QB !!! lol wusses

get stuffed

theres a theme there....just cant put my finger on it though

SO....Id like to buy some cheese !!!

Well, to expand a litle. One ,...a brother in law ( actually both are ..lol ) teh non past AFL player but ardent Collingwood supporter seem to reflect the Essendon logic . Couldnt get his head around the idea of how WADA could go to CAS with a case de novo. He struggled even as to why the 34 would go to the Swiss tribunal , why not appeal to the high court here. I tried to explain the jurisdiction angle.. but he wasnt hearing it lol ( he is a bit deaf as well...lol ) Thought it silly we were even under the code.. "it's footy !! " The other b-i-l ...ex player was strangley more open to my explanations. As I unraveled the mess for him he came to see what the fuss really was about but was curious why the AFL bought into the code. I explained the government money etc would dry up overnight if they didnt and it would be far harder for Footy to compete agaisnt other codes if they were ostracised from Government endorsed policies/grants/help etc. All in all one was educated by the discussion the other wouldnt here of it. Both epitomised the typical punter. i.e didnt really know much of the ins and outs....just what the papers said !!! they asked how I knew so much...I said ..I dont believe papers !! I investigate

was a bit arty farty wasnt it. Good for a bit of promo etc. I imagine if used properly it would remain more static and show the play better ( for training review purposes etc )

Thank god for Titus

Rather liked the comment from 'Hannibal' lol Maybe she's shared a sherbert or ten with Slobbo Such a nonsense article.Nothing unexpected thoughis it. The propaganda machine trundles on ( that cliff must be mighty close now )

Where ? Appeal is in French

Am having 5 mins to self at a Wed reception. Great convo with 2 filth supporters ( both rellos lol ) one understands the cas DeNovo thing ( strangely an ex AFL player !!) The other caught up in criminal law analogies not grasping CAS at all. Fascinating Must go red wine calling Just thought I'd share. How others perceive this is quite fascinating

Go Dees

No . It's about showing the Swiss that WADA And CAS were in the wrong room with the wrong rulebook !! Good luck with that lol The thing I find continuously amusing is ostensibly the 34 want to get back in the room to quibble about "x". However the only criteria to appeal the decision is " Y" They aren't on the same page (never were really) There is a fundamental incapacity of much of the football world to grasp the environment and its requirements/ protocols that they now find themselves playing by.

Cross we'll miss to a degree but with a fit Tyson, a better Brayshaw, Petracca coming in at some point adds. Howe is NO loss...actually its a gain as the player that takes over will be a more rounded capable player. Full preseasons in a handful of others won't go amiss. We will be 30-40% better as a team this year. Still a way to go to venture into the rarefied climes of top 4 but to contemplate less wins is folly.

Ben to Richard, " you're a doctor what possibly could be your concern with ASADA looking out for the health and welfare of athletes ? ' Next

Have no idea why anyone would shake at the thought of either DiNatale or Madigan 'grilling' you. Suppose they need a purpose....wonder what that is !

Ben will have them for breakfast

Hilarious eh. Might just backfire on the pollies Shlt will fly lol

Even a stopped clock is right twice a day ...

Why doesn't he just eat a whole steak ?

Must had a off day with last article and accidentally got it right !!

Sportsbet offering $9 for Dees to make 8 Might just throw a C-note on that
