The Backyard Charizard

Old news..... Doing it cheap??? Hmmm.... Would you rather the club forked out an all expenses paid trip to the bahamas for the whole squad?!?! C'mon..... I know it is early in the morning, but seriously

I agree 100% ...... That match was unbelievable..... Flicked over to Ch7 to watch the first couple of games (was watching the cricket on Ch9) and then thought, "Screw the cricket!" Verdasco hit winner after winner after winner..... and not once did he back off his gameplan..... Punish Rafa into submission.... I am still excited and a part of me is glad that Rafa won, so we can see the final everyone has anticipated.... But Verdasco has No 1 written all over him!! Verdasco has instantly won me as a follower after his efforts in that match! As long as he keeps getting his local farmer to grow those "Magic Apples" he will be a name in the Top 10 for years to come..... Great Match

That is exactly right..... We need all the coin we can get at the moment and the NAB cup offers some of that....

I have heard good reports on both..... But it is the "silly" part of the season.... We will know more come the season proper.... Although if fit, I think both will play the NAB Cup opener against Hawthorn.... Surely we would be throwing everything into it this year?!?!?!

The bloke has achieved all there is to achieve in Australia (except a Charlie).... He has won a premiership.... He has made great money.... He obviously realises that this year will be a bit of a "non-event" for Sydney and has decided to return home to play his national sport.... Bit strange that he would leave with a year remaining on his contract though Been great value in his time with the Swans.... Good luck to him....

I quite like Y_M's posts..... So often I open up this forum to find nothing but personal attacks on other peoples opinions.... The world is full of "other" opinions.... That is what forums are for.... If you don't like a particular person's posts, then you know exactly what to do..... Don't bloody read them.... It is the same people every time that complain and attack Y_M, regardless of what he writes! For god sake, the bloke could put a post up here that says "I'm sorry, I was wrong, Bruce is a good player" and certain people would still attack him!! It makes me laugh reading Y_M's posts..... Which is a lot more than I can say for some others on here..... Keep up the good work.... Some of us enjoy reading posts which are a bit.... say..... Left Field

I have read through the list.... I am still not convinced that this is the real Y_M tho..... The list makes too much sense and is very close to being spot on I think.... Surely this is a hoax :D

And I thought I stayed up late..... haha.... Welcome to the forum that will change the way you view the world you live in! Being part of this forum is just like being married.... You take it for better or for worse.... In good times and in bad.... Till death do you part..... Welcome!!

HaHa.... I will say both after they tie for the Rising Star in 09

We are proud to announce the birth of our first child, William Jack! 8 lbs 7 oz.... Huge hands and feet..... The first addition to my own training group! :D

Nice.... I will be making regular comments.... Good to get another supporters opinions.... Keep up the good work....

Yes.... Merry Christmas to everyone! If any people deserve a day to celebrate, it is us Dees supporters! (Apologies to all the homeless and disadvantaged) Have a fantastic festive season!!

I read this article this morning and also had a bit of a laugh.... CC is a top bloke! CJ will be spewin' that he has just basically been told that he is not worthy of being drafted ahead of 70-odd other unknowns! LOL.... The day that CJ sees a Red 'n Blue jumper again will be the day Captain Brock runs through him like a steam-train and quietly whispers in his ear while he is trying to re-fill his lungs "That's what you get when you disrespect my guernsey!"

I personally think this thread is pretty good..... It is nice to get all the information in one thread, like Nugz said..... Neita3000, I think you may just be jealous that you didn't think of the idea yourself.... HaHa.... This forum is set up so that every single Melbourne supporter can have their say on any matter they feel warrants it.... Anyway, I am very impressed at how the club has recruited.... I believe the future is a lot brighter than most outsiders think.... 2009 will be another tough year, but I believe we will celebrate some special victories next season.... Will be more smiles than cries

PSD will see Carroll with another crack at AFL football.....

Agree 100% I have total faith in the direction our club is heading.... Today was great for us..... The right people are in the right job and the right decisions are being made for our future.... Nothing wrong with that!!

Jack Watts to Daniel Rich "You didn't honestly think you were gonna go number one did you?" Daniel Rich replies " Who me? Bloody hell mate, I am only making up the numbers in this draft... You are clearly the star of the future!"

Loving the thought of a fit Sylvia in the midfield.... The bloke has the body of a german tank.... Let's just hope he is well oiled and serviced regularly (which i'm sure wouldn't be a problem for him... hahaha) Bring on 2009.... We may just turn a few heads I reckon..... If nothing else, at least others will start to realise the potential we have on our list....

I am thinking it is an attitude problem..... Or a reluctance to leave the NT....

I totally agree.... I am not saying that I don't want him at the club..... I think he has enormous potential.... I just think there is obviously reasons why he would not have been picked up in todays draft... I realise we went safe with every pick, and I am stoked with our selections.... But from the footage I have seen and the obvious similarity between Sibosado and Franklin, I am still shocked as to why he was not snapped up.... Even late???

Strikes me as a lazy footballer with enormous talent..... If the talent far out-weighed the attitude he would already be wearing a clubs colours after this morning.... Big ???????? if you ask me....

What I really want is people to read other threads before posting a new thread about a player who others have already been talking about all morning!!!

Very good

The more I think about it, the more confused I am as to why we would've passed on our final picks in todays draft when this kid was still available?!?!?! Surely a lot of clubs would've spoken with him..... Maybe it is not a question of football talent, but maybe attitude??
