you know, im starting to wonder. Might have to go back to baking my own. If I could only get a banana to last long enough in my house lol. Might have to hide a few

hardly !! absolute par

Take a deep breath all. You just have to wait. Xmas is like that. It wont come before its due nor will any decisions and appointments.

In reality Jack has said nothing we didnt already know. Neeld had gone too far on the negativity and stymied what footy flair any player has/had. Resulting in poor decisions or sometimes just late one. Kennedy had it in one...DO...dont think, the minute you have to stop and think youre gone. Everything on a footy field ought to be second nature.

obviously

Its not Lyon inspired is it ?

Id happily have Roos, but like the idea of Williams. Im not raving mad about Eade ( just raving mad !! ) If Craig ups the ante then we cant really do too poorly. The gods will sort this.

probably ran out of puff, lost a yard, he wasnt alone

I have no sympathy. At some point he must have asked his old man. Dad...is this [censored] kosher ? what do you reckon dad ? Tim cant convince me he wouldnt have been in a position to ask a few quiet questions of the "right' people. Jobe, you signed, you allowed it....wear it. Admitting it is actually quite commendable. The only one really to come out on the front foot , so to speak, Reimers being the exception probably. We got canned for something we didnt even offically do. Adelaide got canned for something it DID do. Essendon can , for all I care, pull its pants down and get prepared for a spanking !!

Im not overly convinced Grimes will be cherry for this weekend . Maybe he ought to go via Casey Dont care if he is a capt. Cross that line i want a 100%

Now I know this may draw howls of contempt but whilst his efforts are without query ol' Jonesy's impact has had the shine diminished a tad this year as hes the receiver of even more opponents attention. At the same time Col' impact level is on the rise. Ironically having as consistent year this season as Nate had last year. Logical outcome if trend continues...... Bluey. both outstanding though

Might just be Colin finds the "off" switch re Tippett

who are you ???

ok..if you say so

yep.. Bet on the Gutter Cup !!Ran quite well that day as I remember As to horses name...... God knows.... Something Hairy lol

Cant say Im overly upset about that !! Might bring them back to a contest Bloody shame ill be in qld, wouldnt mind seeing this game

or it can mean absolutely nothing more than a punt.. A little story. We'll all climb into the way-back machine and find ourselves at the 1984 Port Augusta Cup. The cup from Memory was race 6. There were about 11 horses. Now I had been having an OK day pulling bets out my bum. I liked the name of a particular horse and marched up and put 50 each way to a bookie... Within seconds ( and I remember this well for I thought it amazing ) all 4 bookies wound the odds of that horse back to equal fav. Now I went on a hunch ( yes it was the 3rd fav , had run that distance at Adelaide and was coming back from a spell ) but it was just a nag in a race. it was all perception. Maybe it was my demeanor, maybe it was id won a few that day, maybe because mine was the biggest bet on that horse on the filed to that moment ... who knows. My point is the odds changed dramatically on the back of a whim. I had NO inside info. The thing is...dont read TOO much into any of this. Its al smoke and mirrors over a relatively small amount of money ( coz the Bookies just WONT let you put anything large down ) As long as they can off load anything bookies just dont care normally but this is an exotic and unlike nags anything could happen. Horses tend to run to form ( in hindsight lol ) If someone spies Roos at a Scorps game... that just might be a tell. Until then, caveat emptor

BD ..you could be quite correct. I only used the Lions to serve as example of how we dont know whats really going on.

Im prepared to eats lots of Carrot cake and take my chances and yes..it was Carrot again today

I accept that Billy , I only made note of it for some who seem incredibly blinkered ( or excited, or both lol ) that its Roos or bust. The wiser on here have noted that there are a small handful of possibles that WILL coach next year and any one of them will want the new 'infrastructure' in place if we're to make any serious gains in 2014. For all we know PR might be eyeing off Brissy...who knows. I dont

Thing of course is that whatever is supposedly perceived to be Roos' list is really just a list for anyone. Its required to be in place for a functional FD irrespective of who comes on board. Im sure PJ has this in view. Hes building a club against a good -sound model , for the club, not particularly for anyone in particular. Ina sense they are generics ( but of a caliber we arent used too lol ). Whom ever is appointed will add their own stamp to this.

Another handful of games and a good preseason will help immensely. That and team mates on the field like Viney . JV wont ignore Dimitri !! Part of the problem ( seriously ) is that Toumpas runs to where you can and should. For the better part of the last 18 months or so they have been conditioned to send the ball to positions that dont coincide with this kind of thinking ( spread ) It'll work out. Its also beholding on the Toump to make his case, be authorative but that will only come with time. ( and experience )

well...I expect, and hope. But they only had Carrot the other day. I will report back later

If i were a betting man ( ok I am ) I would pencil in Monday sep 2 Currently Craig has got the boys up and playing, for him and for themselves. The team has been through the mill and really doesnt need any other distractions or let downs til the actual end of the season. If Craig can keep some momentum up then he deserves to be under no real cloud until the formal season ending ( friday Aug 30 ) Roos , as a wise man would be sensible and just wait and watch.. AS will we, wait and watch what he or any other candidate or non-candidate ( supposedly ) might actually DO between now and then. You dont play your trumps til needed and Roos has no need at all Will be interesting to see if any 'faces' appear at games from here on in though All this betting is just floss. A couple of randy pubescents getting jolly over a kiss. Theres a order to things, even at the MFC now apparently theyve discovered some : and this means there is more foundation work to be done and finalised before slecting and announcing the coach.. Probably the only caveat to all of this would be should PR walk up to PJ and say, "where do I sign ?" thats just not going to happen though....I'll take bets on that

I could understand that. That sense of dread. Of hope turning to the inevitable malaise. Whatever slivers of joy we extract from season 2013 will be savoured. I dont see the weather as being any much better but over on yonder I thought for a moment I saw a glimmer of blue sky. Like the eye of a storm there is still much rain and wind to endure but its turning from half empty to half full. Theres an end in sight..and just beyond , anew beginning ( another one lol ) Following Melbourne is a bit like chasing rainbows isnt it !! Must be time for morning coffee....and cake
