Thanks for that Daisy. I never knew that. If nothing else the forum does seek to educate us all in some form or another:wub:

"Absolutely fabulous" Send it to Cam. He loves anything to do with the history of the Club.

Where you are theres not much of that. I was there last year horrible boring place. Sorry

Dont even joke....

But it will distract us and the team. Every match report there will be a mention of will he or wont he. I dont care how single minded he is this will create immense pressure on him week in and week out so that if he hasnt signed with GWS he may want to commit to Melbourne but his manager will be insisting that he waits for the end of the year. How can he perform with this weight on his shoulders. The same if he has signed with GWS it will be a measure of the boy if he does play well through the year. Look how it affected Ablett. I do smell a rat here though now that Eddie has got involved and the relationship that he has with Gubby and Tom's manager. If I was Tom and found out that my manager was feeding Eddie information I would be livid. Get Jimmy involved and we'll have him signed up in a moment. I hate this. I was so looking forward to this year to see how they have all improved. But now every time I watch Tom play we will all be left wondering. If it is not sorted out one way or the other it will fester and begin to effect the other players. I cannot understand how the AFL have allowed a situation to develop like this. Why have a draft. They knew how good the draft was that year and there should have been a moretorium on GWS and Gold Coast taking early draft picks.

Iva Good God dont be a tease - who is it?

Betfair has us third with Adelaide favourites and then Port then us. Good grief

I think Gerard agreed with him that David King did say it. I am not sure how reliable David King is with his information. Maybe he read Wolfmother as well

This just keeps going and going. Just now Drain Russell announced that David King had said that Tom had signed along with four other players. Gerard Healey did not dismiss it and said that what was looking to be a promising year for the Demons suddenly if Tom had signed, looked likely to be problematic year instead. Did anyone else hear this.

This is just so sad as she was a very generous and gregarious person. She certainly loved her football and other sports. At least it would seem that she passed quickly and that she did not have to endure too much in her final days. If I know Jill she would have had a warm smile on her face and a cheeky word to her carers. We have a lost a very special person in Jill.

I presume there was a hint of sarcasm there.........."honour "

This is a little of subject but I heard someone on the radio discussing the rabble that St. Kilda was becoming and that they were still looking for a major sponsor despite playing finals etc etc. He compared them to the Demons who he said which was a team that had obviously turned itself around both on a debt level and management level. He said that he was at the intra game yesterday and was amazed at the number of people around the club, in sponsors red tee shirts who were obviusly part of the club ie handing out drinks to players, giving massages etc. He felt that it was a true reflection on how far the Club has come and where it was going. That was in comparison to the Saints who at this time of year should have had a major sponsor signed up. It would seem from the comments of those at the AGM that it would now seem that the Club and its supporters now have a vitality and a single purpose. We have left the era of division. Its onward and upwards from hereon.

Its only fair and equal for C......wood

Two points - does Brad Green want to be captain. If it is true that he may have other priorities then he may not want the extra load. Having heard Green and Frawley interviewed when they became AA's Frawley was obviously not going to be known for his speaking abilities however Brad was succinct and coherent. Also having heard Aaron talk on numerous occasions he also would make a fine spokesperson for the club. Moloney when being interviewed by Schwab about the new jumper was embarrasing to listen to. So I think it is between Green and Davey with Jack Grimes into the leadership group. (Scully an outsider into the leadership group.) When the Club chose James McD there were a few of us who almost choked on their cereal but obviously the Club knew more than what we did. Same with Neita - we were all nervous when it was announced that he was Captain because of the perceived idea that he did not speak well in public. The Club again knew more than we did. The Club will make the right decision. They have been making all the right decisions for some time now - lets just have faith in the system.

Bhima - almost as good as being there. Hope Cam Johnston's handball skills are a little better than the other Cam's.

Welcome - no infighting here

five more last night!!

That last photo with Newton in it - He needs a visit to Jenny Craig even after two weeks back he is still a fatty booom boom.

God surely Brumby has now sunk to the depths of "desperateness"

Also may be that Volvo has just changed hands and is now Chinese owned!! They may be rethinking all of its advertising.

Bruce didn't go to China for family reasons. Does anyone know why he didn't go or has he just "cracked" it

They also will be those MCC/MFC members who renewed their memberships prior to GF.

When is the Rising Star Winner announced. Anyone!!!

Wednesday

Now that Miller and Bell are gone and probably not going north who of our players will it be?
