Salems Lot

I have had an extremely productive weekend. We are putting on a new room to the rear of the house and I have had a fantastic clean out of builder's waste as well as hanging the back doors and shingling the bay windows. My wife's quote today was "you haven't left anything for the builder to do!" My reply.."erm...we are paying him by the hour......" deathly silence after that. 1 week to lock up and 4 weeks to moving in...a fast reno is a good reno leaving me free to concentrate on the Dees next year!!!

Good team, welcome back Flash

This speaks more of the state of your mind than anyone elses. I am delighted to be a berry blast type of guy in truth so the banana situation hasn't impacted too much

A mate of mine did the art-work (the wall not the bodies) in a new film clip by Gotye called "Somebody that I used to know" . It is a fantastic song but now I can't get it out of my head. The same thing happened when I heard Paul Kelly sing How to make gravy. I love the song but it is driving me nuts!!

I don't want to open a floodgate of worms but I am in complete agreeance!

can someone tell Darcy that liam comes from 1500ks south of Darwin?

It's funny, i was born in 1963 and my first Granny was 1988 I decided to wait until we made it; thought that I would wait forever.

I wonder how Mick rates this compared to Addam Maric's "cheating" effort

A bit more analysis shows that we are the 6th most popular single club site; several of the top sites relate to general AFL matters Go Dees

A great player, sadly missed

I thought that Sam would be our X factor when he was drafted, i am really looking forward to seeing if the wait was worth it.

Not nice and not clever

It does mention Garland here Several players seem to be getting close to being back in the mix. With Sylvia in the mix, Garland progressing well and Bartram, Tapscott close. Those are names that are good to see back on the team list.

This guy has had so much scrutiny over the past few years that I thought a special mention needed to be made. He took another huge step in his development yesterday; second efforts, the way he imposed himself around the ground and the support he offered his team mates were all on show yesterday. He is not only starting to become an excellent member of the team but he is also starting to display first rate leadership qualities. An example was on the city wing when Bate got clobbered over the boundary; Watts was the only one who went in to offer support. Good signs

Clearly my request for levity was not directed at you RPFC,

Oh hear, hear to you, it is becoming hard to read the forum at the moment for the level of depressive malaise that hangs over it. Lighten up, please.

I guess I meant that all the focus has been on his tackle, it goes without saying that it was first class

Firstly, I am as pi55#d off as everyone else by what has happened this week but noting the steam roller that is the AFL tends not to apologise for its [censored] ups at the best of times it is unlikely to happen this time. So I have been reflecting upon the events of last week end and realised that there is a silver lining to Jacks suspension. If our players are being rubbed out for excessive force in tackling it can mean one thing; we are bulking up and starting to assert ourselves on the rest of the competition. Trengove's tackle aside, I thought the intensity of tackling and pressure on the man placed by our fellows last week was first class, Clint Bartram a particular stand out imho. It was like a snapshot into the near future where our big bodied players are going to cast fear into the hearts of our opposition. Keep the body conditioning up, keep the intensity at the contest up and play without fear. This week, do it for Jack, next week just do it! Go Dees

The Skipper was on One Week At A Time on One HD again tonight looking far more relaxed than last week (BTW) They asked him about Scully and he said 3-4 weeks in a pretty positive manner. Hopefully it is the case.

What a bizarre thread, total fail

I dropped into training today, the only player missing was Scully; nowhere to be seen

Skipper said: "We need to lift, We need to make a statement next week I need to do more Blah Blah Blah" On a hiding to nothing I guess, at least he showed up
