Demonology & Talking Carlton coached by somebody who qualifies for BigFooty under Forum Of Origin rules? What an unholy alliance. I'll have Michael Voss' job by Wednesday.

I'll do a J**d style dog switch to the other side's coaching panel if nobody else is putting their hand up. Cue instant ban from Demonland for masterminding their downfall.

A 100pt win. I was at work listening on the radio when we tonked Carlton and therefore haven't seen one since R21, 1993. Had enough +100 losses, something the other column would be tops. + more good financial results.

I'll still find a way to hurt myself, because that's what the people (well, DR anyway) want...

At least if the panic button gets stomped on after R1 it will be because of a regular season game. It's insane to base anything on the rubbish gimmick rules and second string squads they play with in the NAB Cup - and yes I am counting Friday night in that. We'll get more of an idea in the next round, and hopefully against better opposition than the slop we were matched up against on Friday, but it's still not worth having a breakdown over if you get tonked in the pre-season.

Not to be pedantic in an otherwise unrelated thread BUT I did look up the correct spelling, and quoth the Oxford Style Guide... Seems to me that it's the Americans who like to drop the E every time. I would say at the very least both are acceptable spellings. Update - What deevoted said first..

Against my better judgement I'll play if the numbers are crocked. Otherwise will stay in the commentary booth/assistant coaching.

Given that their second highest goalkicker got 15 last year I think he'll go alright as a second/third banana in their forward line, especially with Hardwick saying Riewoldt might spend more time further up the ground. Problem will be actually getting the ball down there in the first place.

At least they didn't come up with a rubbish jingle like that Saints Footy debacle. Typical small club mentality to whinge about what others are doing. They don't care about us, I don't know why we should bother caring about them.

The Crows/Power game is absolutely terrible. These teams are going nowhere, I thought Adelaide were a smoky for the flag but even though they're playing bollocks rules I'm writing them off. And Port may as well just give up now. So, see you in September when they win the flag.

Very impressed by Cook, for a first outing in senior company that was super impressive. Heaps of good signs to come out of that, but we were still let off the hook too many times by rubbish goalkicking by the opposition in both games and terrible kicking in the backline by the Crows.

The property market in West Sydney is judged on how many seats the car has.

Thread makes me nostalgic for Jakovich. Should have been the biggest hit since the Beatles.

Current tweet count - 0 It's JackWatts4 if it's really him.

Whether he can coach or not is still up for debate, but when Bailey spoke tonight it made me want to run through the walls. He didn't rant and rave but was pretty inspirational. Not a millionth as inspirational as Jim though. He looked unbelievable considering what he's been through.

I agree 100% with that, but it's almost as farcical a comment by the paper as when they said John Meesen would miss the NAB Cup. At least that was factual in its own sick way.

Quality stuff. More please.

They must have missed the eight games Wonaeamirri played last year.

Timing is average for me. Tried desperately to hook up a work related meeting somewhere nearby that morning to no avail.

Muttiah Muralitharan? Handy for chucking matches next time there's priority picks available.

I'm sick to death of this obsession with messing about with sports just to try and make them jazzier for the TV audience. I love a wacky idea as much as the next person, but call me when the game is stuffed, nobody's watching it and attendances are in the toilet.

It's not the opposition players they need to be worried about, it's the sound of 20,000 people pissing themselves laughing the first time NDS touches the ball.

Wouldn't have an issue with it but would prefer Green.

Apologies as a player - retired due to ineptitude. Don't suppose there's much chance of filming the game/commentating it as Gosch's either is there? Nowhere for a booth? Shouldn't matter anyway because most of it will be made up - especially if all the Carlton players will be referred to as Earl Spalding. So if anybody wants to provide a camera and start a broadcast booth I'll be in for it. Otherwise, I'll join the coaching panel. We'll try not to flood the backline for obvious reasons.

Gutted this thread died because I need the link to the last Crosswell column that I posted where he admitted to honking onto a bucket of KFC and some amphetamines before the 1970 Grand Final. UPDATE You'd never believe it but I just guessed a date and there it was http://news.google.com.au/newspapers?id=IkoQAAAAIBAJ&sjid=y5IDAAAAIBAJ&pg=3646%2C4769575
