was exaclty who came to mind !! Clarke the EFC official Dawe the TD reporter

The first number I had on a Melbourne Jumper. That bloke could drop kick it out a country mile.. Condolences to Family and Friends.

Explain please sir how the F an Etihad game can be considered a home fixture when the opposition call it theirs. Its not like were' playing upper Kombucta west is it..

RIP #8

Developing ruckman who played a NAB Challenge game ...source Melbourne Football Club youre probably right. What would they know. He's spend time down the front...all developing Ruckmen invariably do...but you already know that King isnt even on a Senior list yet. He's very much PROJECT. Your Warnock comment is a irrelevance. Warnock is at eh end of an injury riddled career ,though what has some currency is one teams delisting is another's signing. Fitzy says hello.

In Breaking News it is being reported that the Essendon Football Club is to sue the Essendon Football Club. It's time we got to the bottom of this supplements program an Essendon Official has said . Upon being asked by a reporter for the Titus Daily how it could be that the club was suing itself the Club Official responded by saying it's only right the players knew what was used and it's up to the Club to clarify. The Reporter again reiterated that they themselves were actually the Club so surely they would know. The official again repeated that this is true and will be awaiting the club's reply to the club's inquiry. When questioned as to how the club could not know what was used the Official replied that this is indeed what they were hoping the club to respond to. TD " Who ? " EFC " The Club" TD " But you're the club" EFC " Yes and we await our reply " TD

why would he want to leave the Premiers ?

a better bet as what ? King is a project Ruckman really...thats about it Daw can play a forward role and play 2nd ruck. Two different roles One HAS played AFL the other hasnt ( I dont count NAB.,..who does )

soft ??? serious ?? Have never seen Howe give a "don't argue" to anyone or bring down Burgoyne on a chase down.. Actually does Howe even know how to tackle ? Daw is far from perfect but he can run, find position...keep eyes on ball.. MARK.. ( something a similarly named bloke struggles with ) and can kick standing or running from 50 !! Id happily Rookie him...be a bargain

Id like to see us play a Nab game there a year...keep the NT in the back pocket sts. But for real points...nah !!

yes...Im not a fan of Etihad !!

Hmm.. the indecretions aside for the moment hes an interesting commodity. Possibly repurposed in a fashion as that Foward foil ? I like this bloke years ago...Id take a punt . He has a lot of tricks in his bag. Fresh start might be what he needs. Youd think Macca could sort his head out Im in the yes here. I'll probably have few friends..lol

Kinda funny approaching the draft this year ( for me ) . In past years its been the most interesting aspect almost for the year...that fleeting 15mins of hope etc. This year , however, I find myself strangely ambivalent. Yeah, great , we have 3 and 7 and hopefully that produces something of note as well it might but I now see myself finding greater hope in what we already have. This is new territory for me. I think I might not be entirely alone here either. Again I marvel at the dedication of some as regards following all the little tackers through the various under age comps and poring over the profiles etc. In past years I like many have had an opinion on this player or that and where we've come a cropper have been only to happy to add my voice if due and warranted to a chorus of disdain. Over the next seasons I will have to keep something of a back seat as to our selections this year for I really know very little about the choices. About the only thing that fuels a point of view is do we go the old line 'best available" or go for the "best-suited" Ive always really been a member of the best -suited camp and see little to dissuade me. I may differ with others simply for believing best suited means two good prospects at midfielders.. Time will tell I suppose. Given we have 2 in the top 10 I cant see how we can stray too far from teh path of getting someone(s) half way able. The trend at the club it to focus on core ability and footy nouse now. The "talent -athletic ability " style projects may be catered differently as per the Joel Smith situation. I've long held the suspicion that the Beep testing and all its associated mumbo jumbo is only just this side of selling snake-oil. How often do we see players and the commentary goes along .." he's not terribly fast but always seems to find space " How do these tests account for effective decision making ? The metrics for this convoluted stats makers are about numbers. That's all well and good but it strikes me as the same chasm of understanding between linear physics and chaos theories. This also goes to the idea of how we think which is organic in nature. The game of footy is as much about instinct as it is physical prowess. Im hoping the club will look to those kids who exhibit good football skills and playing styles Interesting ( to me ) that the only time Hogans name appears on the leaders sheets of the 2012 draft camp are on 4 occasions see http://www.topendsports.com/sport/afl/testing-draft-results-2012.htm equal 9th beep /shuttle equal 10th on 3km trial He can run up and down and play for periods is what this tells me..has something of a tank.. thats actually useful to know Not to be seen on the kicking efficiency nor the jumping. He was amongst the heaviest ( whatever that can allude to ) and has big mits !! Also interesting to look at those lists and see how many of the top 10's havent really aspired to much..A few have bu I think like hogan its simply because they can PLAY FOOTY WELL and thats what Id like to see 3 and & used for ...two lads who can play footy well. So much else can be thrown at them in terms of resources etc but if you cant get the pill nor use it effectively nothing else matters. Ill be interested to see who we do select but I really do have a higher faith faith in the club at being able to determine our needs and find the footballers to assume that role. I Have misgiving in some others areas but as far as come 3 and 7...I really have no idea...nor care that much , in so far as preference or likings for any particular player. One thing i do expect is........to see very little of either in 2016 !! go Dees

"This is a fair and equitable fixture " said NO Dee ever !! Cronyism is alive and well at AFL as it's always been....boys will be boys and these good ol' boys certainly know how to look after each other. However the Fixture is as its name suggests...fixed and it wont change for next year. There is only one thing to do as a club, and that's to go out each week and win ( trying your damnedest to anyway ) Go Dees

fixed

how the f...is a home game against the Aints logical at Etihad...??? con job

be surprised if we didnt get at least ONE friday.. .Hopefully less Sunday dead time games Dont mind good ol sat arvo games at the g.. For mine its going to be who we play and who twice that of interest....and where !!

I reckon our fd have this covered. They worked clever to get 3 and 7. They know who they want and why. I haven't a clue really. Parish seems the goods. I would rather import a kpp. If our engine spins right we have 66% of the game covered. I'd go there.

Seems there were Layered leather as well as wooden stops, nailed to the sole. Kinda interesting as a topic unto itself...."our footy boots !!"

youre right...nails... I only remember the other side..the prong. Your mentioning of the inspecting of boots rings a bell

from Wiki Australian rules football[edit]In Australia, the studs on Australian rules football boots are traditionally referred to as "stops".[1] Prior to modern molded plastic soles, these were often replaceable screw-in wooden studs. Now mine weren't screw in..they had prongs that were nailed into the sole and I imagine bent over inside with the innersole protecting Lots of different types it seems

Thanks for the link. A good read.

Just a note to Mr Macguire. Even Christmas. ..has Christmas EVE !!! You just stick to playing drug cheats mate. Let us set the occasion with proper respect and solemnity.

Up yours Eddie
