The James Worpel Thread
Gee, in another thread everyone is complaining how we drafted Schache, Dunstan and Billings.

Recruiting - where did it all go wrong
Melbourne's team against Geelong consisted of: 2021 Premiership players: Oliver, May, Pickett, Petracca, Bowey, Salem, McDonald, Fritsch, Viney, Langdon, Gawn, Sparrow, Rivers, Petty, Spargo (15) Not in the premiership: Sharp, Melksham, Turner, Windsor, Henderson, van Rooyen, Chandler, Langford (7) (It would have been nice to have Lindsay and AMW.) Somehow, I don't think the problem on Friday night was Schache, Dunstan and MacAdam.

Time to go Goody?
Without making a comment on our own performance, anyone who is making the play that "we only beat North Melbourne" needs to re-assess. They are building a great midfield, have some good backs and an excellent key forward, and are on the way up. They have had a plethora of early draft picks, made some astute later drafting and have a renowned coach. If you are disappointed in Melbourne's play, don't diminish North's capability.

The Upgrade Failed ...
I know from working with a CMS like Joomla that it's always incompatible extensions and plug-ins that cause upgrade issues. Trying to identify them is a great way to lose what hair you have left. Good luck, we appreciate it.

I'd be happy if they just turned the sound down to 130 decibels.

Which was the Stars and Stripes, but I think you knew that.

Just wondering...
If it's this property, he'll need a few more millions to build a house.

Welcome to Demonland: Grill’d
Zurich probably didn't like it. They have now probably insisted on the correct colour.

Welcome to Demonland: Grill’d
Zurich will have their strictly specified blue (Pantone, RGB, CMYK etc.). You can't just change it to suit our jumper colour.

Training Ground?
You people living in the city don't know what a pothole is. 😄

"We aren't great at any phase of the game"
If they had a disposal accuracy stat (i.e. the kick or handball went straight to a team mate, maybe who was in space) it would be a more useful measure.

I'm full of unbridled enthusiasm.

The time frame was always 12 months for the feasibility study (just done), and then 12 months for the business case.

Training Ground?
You don't reckon that Mt Scopus hasn't worked it out? "There are currently 1210 students enrolled at Mount Scopus’ three campuses – in Burwood, Caulfield South and St Kilda East. Annual fees are more than $42,000 for senior levels. Scopus Foundation president David Gold said establishing a campus closer to the Jewish community would result in a drop in fees, as families would no longer pay $3000 annually to bus students to its main campus in Burwood."

They've got three other campuses that they are going to consolidate. What's land worth in Burwood, Caulfield South and Elsternwick?

Training Ground?
The Scopus land is 7.5 hectares or about 1500 x 500m2 house blocks. So that's $130,000 per block. If you can get a block that size in Glen Eira City for that much money go for it! 😄 At the same time, it's about 0.2% of the Glen Eira City total area (3900 hectares). Why would they have a great say in council meetings? I'd be more worried about the increased traffic in the roads outside. We can always find some "concerns" and "issues" with any proposal.
