REALLY? No, but come on......... REALLY??

really? no, really?

You need Perian mate, fixes just about everything. I used to use Flip 4 Mac and i think it still runs in the background but Perian is the 'swiss army knife for quicktime'. works a treat

These kind of replies are my favourite. I'm not suggesting the level of intelligent debate in this thread has been high by any means, but a 5 word generic sentence to really prove a point always makes me giggle. tee hee hee

lmao

Hey guys, don't freak out just yet. My friend from Germany and I were there today, in the cold and wet. I just hadn't had an earlier time to write anything.... First things first, Sylvia did come from the ground in the first quarter of the actual scratch match, but we walked off himself, didn't seem in any kind of severe pain and was only barely limping. Up until then he had been in pretty fine form and looking very strong. Certainly wasn't any kind of panic from any of the coaches or medicos either when he came off, so i just can't see it being anything more than precautionary measures from a twinge. GAWN, Man-child (Tappy is freaking HUGE), Meesen and Johnno were in the initial rehab group doing those same boring tennis ball dexterity drills with no huge enthusiasm. Garland and Blease joined later to do some light kicking drills minus Meesen and Johnno who are obviously completely resting the stress fractures. Petterd, Wona, Davey and Jamar also missed the actual scratch match. However in the earlier kicking and running drills, the big Russian looked to be moving and kicking fine, so i'm wondering how extensive his injury is. Watts was doing solo training the whole time with three staff around him. I didn't see any kicking, but he was on the other side of the ground and i was watching other things but i don't know anymore than that. Looked odd. I also think (THINK) that he was late and got a small spray from Deano. I may be completely wrong, thats just how it looked to me. As to the match itself... The usual suspects played well. Jonesy never stops trying and is always sprinting when all others are jogging. Beamer was his usual vocal self, particularly from the sideline when he was rested and played quite well. Seems to be lowering his eyes more and not always going for that long bomb inside 50 all the time. Morton played well of the half back flank and had me in stitches when a 50m penalty was awarded against him. "No way in hell that was 50! F#%kin bullsh#t!" came floating over the entire ground. Even when he was rested for a few minutes around 15 minutes later he was still talking to anyone who would listen about it, he he he. Hughes played reasonably well and showed no sign of injury, as did Bartram surprisingly for me. Bell missed a lot of targets however. Trengove smashed him into the ground with a ferocious tackle right in front of us to applause from the rather minute audience. Joel Mac and Miller had a good tussle for a lot of the game, i like the way Joel is fitting in with the other boys, he seems right at home. Jurrah had some moments, although a bit innacurate. Weather was atrocious though. Didn't stop Jonesy slotting a beauty from 45 out on the boundary line though. I personaly thought Martin performed really well tho. Kicked a goal reminiscent of Jurrah's first goal in AFL. Fumbled a speccy then managed to soccer it through whilst lying on the ground. For me was the highlight of a wet weather match that was full of typical slippery ball fumbles and dropped marks. I'm sure i'm forgetting some things (and I was terribly hungover, still am lol) so feel free to ask some further questions if you want. Have a handfull of photos but not really worth posting, don't show much. Will be back next week for the intraclub! Go Dees!!

Not seeing things dude, thats the Biz alright... Nice work if you can get it

946005 is the new DT league i've just made....

946005 is the new DT league i've just made....

Is the DreamTeam league already full? wouldn't let me in I don't think... If i'm there i'm the Reimannators, if not i'll start another Demonland Dreamteam league..

Typical. I can honestly say if that was one of our boys, I would want them treated like anyone else. Bet the cab driver wishes he was a bit more of a celebrity...

lol, cheeky....

I'm actually related to Ian McLean, was a really nice read for me, thanks.

Great vid! Some of my personal favourite moments! In particular that great hip and shoulder spin from Warnock, i literally jumped of the couch Wona style pumping the air when i saw that live! Go Dees!

I'm going to say Jamar, he is primed to really stamp himself on the game. He absolutely loved kicking that bag of 5 and I think he got the taste for it. For a massive lump of a bloke he never really threw his weight around before like he did in the last few rounds of 09. I remember the Ox commentating that day against Carlton I think it was, saying that he must know something because it was the first time he was playing without stress. He just looked like a weight had been lifted from his shoulders. Maybe he had been told he was safe for another year. But whatever it was, it worked. He almost had an arrogance about the way he crashed packs and jostled aggressively and it bluddy well worked a treat. Given the opportunity again he will do it again i think. Maybe not 5, lol but I can see another couple of 3 goal games for the big fellow. Plus, his tap work has improved out of sight, he's at the perfect age for a ruckman to come into his own and barring more tragic injuries I see 2010 being his year.

Yeah big thanks Steamin. For guys like me living OS, posts like yours are just so rewarding to read. I come back to Australia for 2 months in about two weeks and just worked out that I fly back to Germany the day AFTER the big Rnd 1 clash with the Hawkers. So I am an extremely happy man at the moment. A day at the 'G with my brother who is a Hawks man will be freakin fantastic after almost 18 months away. Also, I'm bringing a friend from Germany to Melbourne with me for the first two week. I have slowly converted her into an absolute die hard fan (who is madly in love with Brad Miller and wants to make Stefan Martin sandwiches with the crusts cut off for some reason) and you have made me think that since she won't be around even for a pre season game (thanks to the Fremantle fixture) that I should take her to training. I have only done it a handful of times myslef and I think it would blow her mind, particularly if she got to talk to someone, anyone really. So again, big thanks for the post. Keep up the good work!

Thats all i said! Jeepers, people are sensitive on this forum some times! As for this 59 meaning he ranked 59% bullsh#t, sorry deanox my man, you are completely wrong. But nevermind all of that. My point was only that he articulated himself extremely well so hopefully it was more a refection on his dedication to football than his actual mental prowess. Damn people, i know the footy season is a fair way away, but for petes sake switch to decaf. I wasn't meaning to offend....

Thank you! Let if firstly be said that I am in no way trying to attack the kid, but come on, for the sake of argument I think most would consider 59 to be a pretty ordinary score. I graduated WAAAAAAAAY back in 2000 (lol) and I know some kids who were devastated by roughly the same score. And I went to Wangaratta High School for pete's sake! Absolutely agree his time was probably spent far more on football. But from what I have read about him and the articulate way he speaks I wouldn't have put him in the "typical meathead jock" category. So either he just winged his exams and hoped for the best or he (i hope not) just ain't that bright. Sorry.....

either the system has dramatically changed or he ain't the sharpest tool in the shed. did you mean 95?

I've said the same before, absolutely agree RR. Attacks on his skills and abilities is one thing but some of the personal attacks on here are completely uncalled for.

Rivers is new....

No, Frawley is the man for the job. For starters, Scarlett is 192cm and 94kg, Frawley is 193cm and last weighed at 91kg although i would be guessing more by now. But for me, more exciting than the great run and carry he displays, the quality kicks that hit a player on the chest far more often than not is his actual one on one work which is arguably his weak point atm. When he is getting beaten he doesn't to quote one of my favourite commentators 'drop his chutney' he analyzes the situation and reels his opponent back in. He learns. Add the amount of development years Scarlett had before he was as good as he is now and I think Frawley will be every bit as good if not better.

Cam Mooney?

aka Travis Johnstone

Hmmmm, I think our hatred of the Filth clouds our judgement at times. Whilst not the best No 1 pick up of all time, he has been far from ordinary over the years. I remember conversations with my Demon mad father over wishing we had his services not that many years ago........
