The Backyard Charizard

Whenever my beloved Norwood come up against the 2 imposters, Crows & Power in the SANFL comp, booing the AFL players is made easier by the fact they wear their listed jumper # Both clubs have non-listed players who I actually find difficult to dislike due to the fact they are just young blokes having a red hot crack... I understand that the passionate Casey supporters may not be overly impressed with the decision to change jumpers but surely they must understand that Melbourne has helped grow the club, and the game, in the region and Premierships tend to cancel out any dislike anyway

They'd want to do something special for $80 a pair! I could get a slab of Woodstock 440ml cans for that and by about the 8th one I wouldn't care if I had shorts on or not

I hope you're not suggesting what I think you are People always seem to think these days that there must be something sinister going on

I see what you did there

Yes it can!

While we are on the "Summer" theme....

It will be judged after Round 23 I feel...

I REST MY CASE YOUR HONOUR

Hello from Adelaide... The city where a local council would not let a tree get cut down... So the developers built over it... Ended well

I mentioned this on an SA radio station when I was telling them that Port are NOT pioneers when it comes to the whole China saga... Surely Port realise that the Chinese people LOVE the colour red

And we will destroy all opposition on our quest for greatness! I'm having a real "glass half full" evening here.. Spring has sprung

The AFL brand has taken a massive hit with the Essendrug saga and if it wasn't for the Bulldogs heroics this year then the league would be in need of a shake of the upper branches to remove the loose hanging fruit.... So it doesn't surprise me that they have found a way to uphold the validity of this trade But seriously.... do we care? It is bloody Ty Vickery for goodness sake Jaeger O'Smeara does not a Premiership team make!

I took a while to pick my response but I looked at it from purely "My own" opinion and not from the greater club/public as a whole... Thus I chose Option 2 as I was already personally confident that Jesse would sign so for ME the most important aspect of this post season has been the signing (upon request) of Jordan Lewis... This is huge in the scheme of things... Just people wait until NEXT year's post season... We will go BANG! and recruit a genuine gun of the competition who will see that the possibility of bringing this great club back to the top is an opportunity one doesn't want to miss being involved in... The days of good list management and quality player development are upon us my friends! In Melbourne I trust

Your name is very appropriate

Pretty $hitty way of explaining it from the author...

Simple yet effective... Well played!

Posted this in the Syndrome #47 thread but probably deserves a spot in here... Another SA lad I've seen a bit of this year, Sam Draper... Worth a look as a ruck prospect I reckon!

Very good Sir... The kid has some serious skill and swagger... Actually his body type is a lot like Petracca... Thick hips, strong overhead, big legs and that familiar pigeon-toe prowl around the ground... I'm sure there's more highlights of him around the tube... Big talent but occasionally his body language lets him down (we all know we've had our share of watching that) but along the lines of Hogan, it's more in frustration at himself and the delivery coming into the F50... Worth a punt though I reckon from what I've seen!

As a Norwood member I would love to see us give Kane Blades a spot at some stage this draft. Watched a lot of him this season and he has some skills! Kane Blades

Misses a shot to get his team into the GF one month... Racking lines off a mirror in the sun the next

Top bloke who always gave up plenty of time to my young lad whenever we ventured to training... Unlucky with his body breaking down constantly...
