Late Draft Pick

Nicely put Supreme Demon. Much appreciated. I’m 73 also and have a Demon supporter in my street who will help me in March when the Club gets the bar codes. While I’m here my favourite reads are the Post Grand Final thread, the training reports and now on Game Plans a couple of members explaining to me what went on in that 3rd quarter.

Woops you could be right. I went back into what I googled yesterday and it said 4 days ago, not four days to go.

Three days to go is what I eventually found. So that makes it this Friday and out in the Newspaper on Saturday

Rafiki said: "I have heard some not so good stories about him from people in the business" Hakiyamungu Rafiki. Wewe rafiki mbaya. Good gratious 'rafiki' you are a bad friend. Change your name to Shetani, Satan, though its pretty hard to not pass on those stories eh,? lol. I'm really very happy with Balic and from what I have read only I am pretty sure he will fit in and will play good games for us next year.

I like that contribution from Mongrel. It's a little bit more tangible for me. I await Tuesday night and as others have said, I'll be delighted with whatever they pick up as I will assume they have done their homework.

Barrett actually said that he "quieried" it - "the Tyson -Salem combination for the loss of the Kelly pick." He didn't say he had criticized it or make any apology. In fact in saying that it is a debate that will go on for 10 or even 15 years, he is saying he is not at this stage backing down. Actually, skill set aside, the way Dom Tyson moves and his authority around the ground reminds me of Luke Hodge.

Definitely not keen on Caddy. I've watched him for four games now and can't see what the fuss is about. Last night during the 2nd quarter I noticed he had had 2 possessions, so he wasn't a great contributor to GC's great start. Each week there are so many other players in the team who are involved throughout the game but never Caddy. Apart from fumbling last night and not getting his own ball, last week his 8 possessions up to 3/4 time were those of a bit-player. If we were getting him for pick 13 I would have liked to have seen him creating more play or getting his own ball.

Yeah right. Like we all get a choice in this. If you have a taste of alcohol or a drug and you think it is the greatest thing that ever happened to you - like Ben Cousins did - then there isn't much you're going to be able to do about it at the time. No, I mean like really feeling ultra alive and so real and like "Why wouldn't anyone ever want this all the time?" and try to have it when you can? Many people don't have enough 'substratum ' (I made that up but you work it out) to find anything within themselves to counteract that drive for this incredible pleasure that life is now offering them through this drug.Why do think family are always so flumoxed? Sometimes, though, only sometimes, after hitting rock bottom, probably many times, something comes along and sinks in with a few people like this that they have another chance - and they take it - but that is fairly rare. Benny will have to run out his life as the rest of us probably always knew he had to. And as someone alluded to above - all our ( conditioned) judgements don't amount to a hill of beans - as the guy said. This is not Sunday School where we weep about his family.
