  1. Koo Wee Rup thirds, we could beat them...... maybe Seriously don't care as long a we get a 'good' amount of home games against the Vic. If the G is unavailable round 1 due to stupid cricket rules I would rather be away interstate than here at docklands
  2. Send it back to GWS for Adams and get pick 20 back in change to use on young Zak.... Just a thought
  3. It would be best if you completely wipe out that day or the memory banks. Fortunately I had had a copious amount of alcomohol by the time that the cheap shot happened and really can't remember much if any of the day! Although I did make to Schwarta's pub the next day for the wake and I remember 2 things well - Neale Daniher categorically ruled out every stepping foot in Windy Hill again and also he was the only bloke to get stung with having to buy a round when the bar tab temporarily ran out! Big weekend it was!
  4. Has taken a while - but am now a fully fledged paid up, mobile skin using Demonland member. Many thanks for all those who keep the site running - keep up the good work guys
  5. Awesome work Nasher Now I can concentrate on not getting any trade news because there isn't any as opposed to not getting any trade news because I keep hitting refresh.....
  6. Just remember guys........... It's all Jack Watts fault I think we can safely say that if the Roos era bears no fruit that the blame lands squarely at jacks feet In all seriousness, good boy Jack - I still have faith he will become the A grader we need
  7. I'm fairly certain anyone is/was able to sign up NSW scholarship kids as part of growing the game in NSW. Collingwood grabbed their next ruck Witts that way. Same as taking overseas guys - we have a New Zealand lad this year. Unfortunately for us our resources, recruiting and development haven't warranted one up until now. There will probably be more for us now with Roos on board (and ???? Stone as well)
  8. Viney will develop his softer emotional side, just so Chuck Norris can come out of his hiding place and cease being embarrassed...... Mmmm ok maybe not, much more likely kill his opposite number with fireballs from his eyes and bolts of lightning from his arse!
  9. How many years have you been waiting to use that Clint??
  10. Congrats OMR, been an awesome year, up until the bye round after that I couldn't buy a win. Looking forward to 2014 However just a word of caution - if you're going to brag at least get the spelling right! [League not leauge] :-P
  11. How does Roosy like his banana smoothie? Any special ingredients for him? I'm off to nth Queensland for a week, I'll chat to some banana/sugar/mango growers for some tips to make Paul something very special if he signs on the dotted lne :-)
  12. https://twitter.com/ralphyheraldsun/status/373414855056699392 Apparently there is something to the offer
  13. http://www.theage.com.au/afl/afl-news/afl-should-have-intervened-mark-thompson-20130828-2sq75.html Bomber Thompson is a deadset lunatic - "the AFL should have intervened earlier" he quotes that the Afl told Hird NOT to go down this path, that Peptides are bad mmmkay. Yet when he goes down this path it is somehow tha AfL's fault. WTF is he smoking. How in gods name does he not banned as well - he knew exactly what was going on yet didn't stop it as a senior personnel. I am getting angrier by the day. No one at Essendon seems capable of taking responsibility even after accepting punishment. It's all someone else's fault, surely the buck stops with the coach and senior assistant
  14. Awkward, ungainly, somewhat "unco". I know I drew a big fat line through his name in 2 seconds of seeing him. IIRC he had trouble with chronic fatigue when we drafted him, i read somewhere that the club discovered he had insulin dependent diabetes which would go a long way to rectifying his chronic fatigue issues, allowing him to train as an AFL player needs to, which I think has lead to his rapid improvements this year - still awkward and gangly but gee isn't he effective at present, takes a strong grab, leads well and can crumb well for a 200cm bohemoth. Can see now why he got AA at under 18's, has something to offer and now with his health problems seemingly improving might just reach another level or 2 when he fully fills out the massive frame. Happy to be proved wrong (so far!) on Fritzel
  15. Top of the things that sh!t me to tears - incidents like this that don't get picked up on match day by umpires, yet warrant a suspension. The goal that happened as a direct result of this to Gold Coast stands, then other incidents ( not that any happened this week ) get a report, a 50m penalty (and generally result in a goal) and then get thrown out as the umpires over reacted to nothing incidents. Possibly could have cost us the win on Saturday - certainly would have stopped gold coasts momentum,by adjudicating the brown incident at the time of the game. I don't get why umpires just get that so wrong
  16. What actually irks me is that no-one at our footy club seems to have the balls to be a villain anymore. Seriously, i may belong in a different era (although not much - retired from footy 4 hears ago aged 35), but why doesn't anyone want to cop the 4 week ban for knocking the little pr1ck into tomorrow. Just a good old fashioned shirt front would do it. No need for Barry Hall type king hits. if he left Hawthorn or Essendon in the same manner he'd be lucky to leave any return game with intact ribs. Our club is soft at present, where are the hard bodied, hard at it types that win footy games in the trenches - reckon our recruiting strategy would have been a lot different if I was involved
  17. Me three..... Reckon there are quite a few Demonlanders from the APS system, certainly the old breeding ground of demon followers, what's worse is I do drive a land rover (with a stereotypical liitle square demon jumper sticker!) and love skiing......
  18. Both Wilsons snr and junior are really good people - jnr was captain at Old Camberwell when I was there in the 90's needless to say Reece was our major sponsor and the club was well looked after! Wasn't aware that dad was a mad MFC supporter - get him and Reece on board!
  19. How's Joel MacD been travelling?, reckon he's got a bit more going as a replacement for Garland than Sellar, Gillies, Pedo etc. Yes he isn't the future but a battle hardened body to come in against the Kangas who have a habit of rag dolling us
  20. Masterfully answered the direct questions without saying anything. Basically said nothing has changed. The Melbourne position is attractive, but but that he hasn't made any further decisions.
  21. Australian of the Year, Nobel prize winner, Archibald prize and Victoria cross.....
  22. If he hasn't got the Bluey, Brownlow and Coleman medals sown up by round 3, I'll be demanding we get our money back....... Nah seriously it'll be round 2 when he is our only KPF, as people on here want to trade Dawes, Fitzy, Watts and Clarky will be injured, he'll get triple teamed and still bag 3 but he will be a hack as he hasn't carried 21 other lazy crappy footballers over the line by himself! Anyway, please oh please PJ give this kid a really bloody long contract, paying whatever he wants :-) if he ends up half a Wayne Carey or 3/4 a Johnno Brown, or even better a whole Jesse Hogan I'll be happy
  23. Perhaps Ratten wasn't that bad of a coach, certainly the mighty MM hasn't squeezed anything else out of the players. Reckon I'd look in his direction should Roos or Craig not have the job sown up. Not sold on either Rocket or Chocco,
