Brynne. My gosh, I've seen better heads on the end of a hook!!!

I can confirm he's booked in for the surgery on Tuesday but why on earth is it happening in a maternity hospital?

With so many of the usual suspects gone or soon to go, Russell would fit in nicely as the Demonland whipping boy. Get him!

I believe Addam Maric's free.

I used to be paranoid about the whole media and Melbourne thing too but now I reckon they're just out to get us.

Please check out the character and integrity of the players you recruit. Tom Scully's decision to turn back on Demons and move to GWS hurt Jim Stynes

Leuenberger? Great idea!

I thought he went to London for the Olympic Games and won a silver medal in the long jump.

The Meese is weighing in on this? Good heavens! Surely the very fact that he got a game would have to be exhibit A if they ever launched a tanking charge!

I'm worried this is going to destabilise the club so much that we'll finish last and we'll end up getting picks 1 & 2 in the national draft.

Absolutely, as Mr. Demetriou said, there's no tanking going on in the AFL and that's good enough for me.

The problem with Darwin is that the conditions sap the players so that they perform poorly in the weeks after the trip. I would rather we explore a more hospitable climate. It's a pity the money's not around and we can't have a boutique type stadium at Casey to cater for games against interstate clubs where we can make the big money on home games (a la Geelong at Simmonds Stadium) that we could turn into a real fortress.

How's Nick Sautner going for the Zebras?

Where's Serhat Temel these days? Any chance of having a look at him now that he's matured?

I believe there was a poster about in those days called TYR (the Y standing for "young") who was a big critic of George Haines and was imploring the club's committee to appoint one Ned Kelly Junior as coach instead.

It's times like these when the only real insight one can get into how the game unfolded is from opposition supporters. Here's one from Bomberblitz. See if you can find a more suitable quote. Napier Street Bomberblitz

Haven't we got enough rangas redheads at the club already?

... and shame on all of you for bagging Tom Scully. I thought he did a great job yesterday for a kid straight out of Haileybury College and with the weight of an overbearing father hanging heavily upon him.

Quite frankly, watching GWS and GCS play today was extremely depressing because it made me realise just how hard it's going to be this year for us to tank for draft picks. As bad as we've been the last couple of weeks, it's going to take a monumental coaching effort from Mark Neeld to better some of Dean Bailey's efforts in 2008/9. I curse Demetriou for bringing in these substandard new franchises that make it so hard for clubs to do a proper job of tanking. You're an absolute disgrace Vlad!

Saturday, I believe.

Not one of our boys any more? Oh ... In that case I reckon he was lucky not to get rubbed out for three or four.

James McDonald rubbed out for two matches. That's an absolutely outrageous indictment on the MRP. The guy's an ornament to the game. A great Demon. Why do they always pick on our boys?

Jeebus, I know Mark Neeld wants the players to harden up but machetes?

I know why the AFL took the two points off Essendon. They wanted to keep GWS off the bottom: The 2012 NAB Cup ladder: [Team Won Lost % Pts] 1. Adelaide 3 0 165.6 12 2.

Disappointed with Lynden Dunn after what was a good pre season. I wouldn't have expected him to have missed THAT shot. He has to lose that mo as well.
