Absolutely right. At full pace too. A "don't argue" stops the tackler grabbing your body, but if they have the presence of mind to grab your arm, you're totally stuffed. Love the way Weller realised he was in deep trouble the moment Viney grabbed his arm and used it to pull him in closer. Then he really found out how much trouble he was in. And I can't wait for Dustin Martin to try the "don't argue" again on Viney.

It's this difference between "resigns" and "re-signs". Where's the hyphen, people??!! In Sloane's case, unfortunately the latter.

They were talking about Collingwood on SEN. The plan being, Swan out, Dangermouse in, on maybe twice as much as Pendles. Great recipe for instability, I sincerely hope they go for it. When is it time to get in Swan's ear?

Definitely trade value. For each, we'd need a high pick and a very very good player, or at the very least a good player who meets a desperate need. Do GCS or Brisbane need a versatile reliable defender, a specie merchant or a tall forward with iron hands???

I'd be really happy if Aish was our second target midfielder. Wouldn't be as happy if he was our first target, ahead of the likes of Prestia or Coniglio or Sloane. Is it too greedy to want Aish AND Prestia?? Or do we not have enough to give to get both?

And Selwood.

Again, people have such short memories. A fully fit & firing Trengove would be like having another Tyson, except right-footed, stronger & could run all day. If he's almost-but-not-quite fit & firing, then it's half-back etc. Trengove fully fit is top-drawer midfielder. He's not as limited as Scully.

Best concert ever was Jan 1976, the Eagles at Festival Hall, which STARTED at midnight. One of their first few with Joe Walsh.

Certain Kind of Fool?

he's certainly got the perfect disguise ...

Can't decide whether this is finely-honed satire or just plain dementia.

I definitely remember Joe Cocker having to cancel a show (during my exams!!!) in the mid-70s because a lot of things went wrong. They then rescheduled the show to start at midnight after he had already done a show earlier that night, which was a spectacular success. And I'm pretty certain it worked so well that a few other bands did the same when they ran out of dates for an extra show. I remember trying to find my way home at 2.30am from Festival Hall after an awesome midnight show by, of all people, the Eagles (probably because it was their first tour after Joe Walsh joined) in about 1975, not long after Cocker did it. In those days a Joe show could be sublime, or it could be a mess. He was never "so-so".

Seems that #1 is settled as far as the Saints are concerned. Just that nobody else can predict them with any degree of certainty.

I find that hard to believe. Only 65?????

What? You mean they won't debut on QB?? It could be twice the hoopla!

As they say ... to err is human, but to really stuff things up you need a computer.

You could preserve them for posterity OD!

Effect ............................Cause!

If it were me, I'd be so blissed out for days after that 10-goal win that I'd forget all about who I needed to take revenge on. So I hope you're made of sterner stuff. And that you've got it all written down.

... And they'll whinge about it afterwards. And before. And probably during. It's North we're talking about.

Your life must be fascinating!!!

So why not Brad Miller????

Well the Latrobe Valley's probably never voted Libs, so that ticks the first box. Very nervous here in the western suburbs.

So where do you think they'll be turning off the power tomorrow to save the grid for the rest of us????

Pic wouldn't be half as disturbing if it didn't look so much like Dermie with a new hairpiece.
