The Chazz

Wow, Gillies getting my childhood hero, number 27. Giving the late, great Sean Wight's number to a player on a one year contract - I hope he wears it with pride and earns himself a contract extension at the end of the year. Would like to see Toumpas in 23 if he's drafted, or if it's Wines, I think number 5 would suit him. Although he may need to stretch it given the size he is compared to the last bloke that wore it.

Article in today's Hun; http://www.heraldsun.com.au/afl/more-news/demons-deny-jack-viney-his-dream-as-they-opt-for-late-change-with-jimmy-toumpas-in-draft-selection/story-e6frf9jf-1226520611578 Is that right that Toumpas was a star in the SANFL GF last year? Pretty impressive effort if that's the case. For the 2nd half of this year I hoped that we would get Toumpas, but that was based on nothing other than watching the U18 championships. I find it strange how the media are treating Viney and Wines as though they are siamese twins.

Tom Scully?

^ This sums it up really. Only question I have re being Jones' shadow, is that true or is he just in the same rehab group as NJ?

Yep, totally missed that joke...

I'd prefer him to have Brendon (G's).

It's actually the Alex Perry look, it's just that he's not allowed to wear his sunglasses on his head while he trains.

And there it is...

If he can get back to the form of 2011, and help win us a premiership, I'd be willing to give him 69.

One thing about those photos - if we can't make it as an AFL team, we'll certainly challenge Melbourne Storm in the NRL. I am totally amazed at how some blokes can appear to bulk up so much in such a short period of time (the 8 weeks during the offseason). Has Nicho always been built like that?

So he should be, he's just come back from his honeymoon...

Is it possible to write something off that wasn't written down in the first place? I always had concerns about Gysberts, and copped many posts from upset fans on here when I questioned his place on our list.

More like... Beamer; Let's give this weak c**t a wedgie. Nicho (to himself); God you're a bully, Beamer.

Green generally got the "number 1" defender, or at times Jurrah got the "number 1" defender. More often than not, Petterd got the defender that matched up on him the best, which generally wasn't the number 1 defender for that team. That's why some weeks RP looked good because the best match up for him wasn't the number 1 defender for that team. In other words, in an intra club game, Petterd would've most likely had Garland line up on him, not Frawley, who is our number 1 defender. But, as you say, he averaged a goal a game for us. That would mean that for that bag of 4 he kicked against Collingwood, the next 3 weeks he didn't kick any. Hang your hat on that if you wish, but I'm glad he's no longer in the red and blue. I s'pose I'm a hater?

Often taking the number 1 defender? And lovers are gonna love...

DD, can you please tell me what they are saying? I feel like a person who sells love for money when I look at other teams forums.

I didn't realise Mr Whippy still operated at the MCG when the footy or cricket isn't on. No wonder you've got time to go and watch training.

Word is that the Eagles have offered his old man a recruiting job. Jesse hasn't spoken to anyone else other than Melbourne though, and will let his management sort out a new contract at the end of season 2015.

How good would it be? I put my hand up to be first to pay fcukwit Barrett a visit. That said, we've got no chance.

I can remember a few years back now that the MFC reserves side played a game at Punt Rd (12pm game I think), and they televised it on the big screen at the MCG as we were playing at the usual 2:10pm time slot.

Not arguing there LS, just saying that Dawes being in our LG would be water off a black (and white) duck's back.

Max Gawn wished Jamar a Happy Birthday on 1st August, even though his actual birthday is 9th August. Max also wondered if Jamar could represent Australia in the Olympic in equestrian. Then the OP suggested that Tags is built like a horse, and, ah...don't worry about it, was just trying to make a joke, but it didn't work...!!!

Would it? Pretty sure teh reply will be about a bloke that was dropped at the end of the season from their finals-bound team now finds himself in the leadership group at Melbourne. Same deal with Byrnes. But, that's where we are at, and until our young blokes step up/get older, we're left with not much option.

Obviously don't watch Gawn in 60 Seconds?

Should Jamar be nervous?
