The Backyard Charizard

OK, thread can be moved/closed/deleted...

It has served it's purpose.... Thanks to all who have contributed....

The $300 that my wife found just after picking the young Demon up from school will be taken to the local cop shop tomorrow.... 

The kids will be present during this exchange to encourage them to always "Do the right thing"

Clearly I would've just gone to the pub and loaded up the Sportsbet account but alas.... Times have changed

Post this on a non football thread or at least head it so we know what your talking about. This isn't an agony column any more

I initially said I am happy for it to be moved to a "non football thread"

Thanks for your input though.... If I knew it fell out of your pocket I would have spent it already

Could be a good life learning opportunity for the kid/s.

Or...... You could donate it to the next Jesse Hogan contract. May get us over the line Krazy.

This is probably the single biggest factor in MY allowing it to be handed in as young Will is well aware of what his Mother found on the ground...

And as for Jesse, on current form I may even get change

I put my hand up & say I couldn't for the life of me understand how he was getting consistent games...  But he has won me over in the last month. Hope he carries on & follows in Tom's footsteps 

I hope to God you mean his brother Tom and not.....

Ethan's post #21 and Chook's #26 have both reaffirmed my deepest love for this forum!

And this whole thread has given my wife a disturbing insight into where I hang out during the "me" time in my life 

OK.... Thanks for all the responses...

My wife really wants to just keep the money but I wouldn't be able to sleep at night knowing that some poor family at our kid's school may not be eating dinner this week 

...........Actually, let's be honest... I'm the dodgy ba$tard that wants to keep the cash but my wife is an amazingly honest woman and will not allow that to happen....

So she is off to the cop shop tomorrow 

I am slightly disturbed by this as we have watched Underbelly together before!

Please help....

The wife and I are having a moral dilemma...

I realise this is not football related but I need as much exposure before the mods rightfully shift it to the General Discussion section

For those that saw the VFL match, where did BenKen and ANB play most of the game on the weekend?

Both played most of the game at Casey Fields

Think you'll find Max King will be delisted. 

Did I read right that he kicked 5 on the weekend in the DL?

Although, that is the issue... It was in the DL!

I hope he makes it as for some strange reason he is my 7 yr old son's 2nd favourite player behind the #29 on his jumper 

This makes me smile.... 

"Can you imagine what Gawn is gonna do to us!? If anyone is still alive in SC - lock him in for Captain.......

Melbourne will smack us.......absolutely smack us...... "

Who's coming now??

If we on Demonland were good sports we'd feel sorry for the Tigers.

If those at Tigerland were realistic folk then they would look at themselves and feel sorry for the sport!

I am going early and saying....

OUT : Jeffy & Harmes

IN : JKH & Matt Jones

We will run the absolute pants off Carlscum on the weekend!

Oliver will be the best of them I think. The numbers he's getting with 60% game time in his first year have been crazy at times, and then you add in his height, excellent decision making, calmness, skill (hand and foot) and aggression and you get the complete package for a modern midfielder. I'm surprised he doesn't get any love in the media, he will soon.

 

 

He will be our Bont over the next 12-24 months.... The media will fall in love with the way he goes about his footy and he will impact games more and more as his tank grows...

Exciting times... 

My 3 in order on what I've seen...

1. Oliver

2. Petracca

3. Brayshaw

Although on what I saw on Saturday night, Brayshaw looked amazing at times... His tackling was ferocious when it was needed and his 2nd and 3rd efforts were fantastic!

Trac just looks like a beast and with a full pre-season under his belt could be anything...

But Oliver has an X factor about him that sends blood to a region of my body like not many red-headed earthlings have been able to in the past... 

ANB is the one that I am not certain of his position in the team... I think he needs a run of more than 1 or 2 in a row for us to see exactly where he sits at the top level...

Was in good spirits during the warm up... On the boundary giving $hit to Bugg when he was having shots... 

I think he offers more than just being a fringe player and I for one hope that he has a ripping pre-season and breaks his way into the side on a more permanent basis...

Clubs need players like ANB to keep others on their toes!

Maybe he listens to an old classic on his headphones during the warm up...

Morris Minor & The Majors - Stutter Rap

I think Hogan is a victim of his own inner pressure to perform...

He prowls around the ground during warm up with his head phones on and rarely interacts with his team mates... 

I think his brain would be absolutely cooked from all the pressure he is heaping on himself to perform and lead the team...

Sports Pschy is all he needs I think... Either that or a... sea change

Players with Hunt's attributes are often soft.

He's not.  At all.

And neither am I when he has the ball

Pedersen = no margin for error
Hogan = margin for error

Life's not fair, but too bad.

Pedersen = 10/10 for effort

Hogan = do we allow margin for effort?

Whatever is going on needs to be fixed

After what I saw live at the ground last night, I'd almost be tempted to drop Hogan...

He hurt us more than Pedo did IMHO

I'm sure Hogan is not 100% fit but unless he has heart disease it should not effect his effort

Shoot me down people, but this site is based on opinions and that's what makes it great!

From my vantage point up in the stands....

6. Gawn 

5. Tyson

4. O Mac

3. T Mac

2. Hunt

1. Brayshaw

Apologies - Jones, Vince & Jetta (but I'm sure these 3 blokes won't mind my votes)

South Australians are weird.

Once you live here for a while they seem less weird... The only downer to that is the fact you have to live here for a while 

It is definitely foggy this morning as I gaze out of my bedroom window...

i am supremely confident heading into this match... that I will offend at least 3 local ferals from up the river and that Melbourne will play a brand of football that impresses all who see it...
