Very clever thinking Jack. I wondered at first what the hell you were talking about! Winning form is good form to take into the new season and with the Bailey and Connolly combination I have high hopes for 2008. Like most people, I am delighted to see Chris get a role. However, I was not keen on him becoming our senior coach. Mr Bailey sounds good at the moment doesn't he?.

I rest my case DD. Just watched it again tonight.

My video says otherwise.

Yeah, Hawthorn had won BEFORE the Melbourne v Bulldogs game had finished. No big deal Styx but that's how my video shows it.

Just like to correct you on the game Jack. I was watching it on TV and there was an almighty roar from the crowd when people listening on their trannies spread the word that Hawthorn had beaten Geelong. We were in front at that stage and it was then just a matter of staying there which we did. Ironically, it was the Hawks who got us into the finals but sadly, it was them who kicked us out in the prelim. Regards mate.

Well said Maurie Lithen, Bailey must have done well in his interviews to be a unanimous decision. It's amazing that some people are criticising him before he has even started the job. Very,very negative thinking indeed.

Do you really think Richmond will try to win and lose the No 1 pick? I don't.

Port Adelaide beat Hawthorn (top 4 team) with last minute goal. Port beat Geelong with a last minute goal. Port beat MELBOURNE with a last minute goal. Does this mean that when we PERFORM we are up there with the best? I must admit, I have a poor memory when it comes to our return match in Adelaide. Seriously though, we were stiff to lose to them at the G. No need for gloom and doom for season 2008.

No! Ask David Neitz or Ben Holland.

No way. Bohdan has a TWO YEAR contract. He still has another year to go. Good for you Rhino in defending him from the senseless WITCH HUNTERS like Jaded and co. You at least, have done some research into Bohdan's abilities.

Do you really want Bruce cutting us up for the next few years at another club? I don't! You don't know for sure No 5 pick is going to produce the goods. A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.

Couldn't agree more Madness. Kepler Bradley is not wanted by Sheedy thus IF Sheedy becomes coach he still will not be required. Bradley just boots the ball anywhere like a good old country footballer. His disposal is very,very ordinary and makes Bruce's kicking look sublime. He is nowhere near Bruce's talents and we would lose on the suggested trade so much. I cannot understand why Cameron Bruce is so criticised on this forum as he is one of our top 6 players and has been for at least 5 years. People have so very short memories and conveniently forget the brilliant games he has played for the Dees.

I think Brisbane have 14 on their injury list. Even ahead of us!

I know fully understand what you mean. Thanks mate. Go the Zebras!

Thanks Bazza and Deelicious9 for your answers. The only thing that still puzzles me though is the fact that Deelicious9 said that Geelong does not have a twos team. What is the difference between our twos, Sandringham and theirs, Geelong? Thanks again, sorry I'm being so dumb here.

I know it was mentioned last year, but can someone please explain why Geelong in the VFL can choose as many AFL players in the finals as they wish. If our affiliate team was called MELBOURNE and not Sandringham would we have the same rule favouring us? This particular issue does confuse me somewhat. Thanks.

AND WET TOAST!

Surely you couldn't blame Bohdan for ANY of our injuries last night? He is a well qualified man and it's just plain BAD LUCK our injuries run this season. He's as good as you can get.

I hope that we keep big Ben next season. He is greatly respected by his teammates and can play on the forward line and the backline. Go Dutchy!

Thanks Fan

Sorry to be dumb here but what exactly has bwell done? I have just finished reading a few of his posts and they all seem to be harmless enough. Not defending him, just asking. [mod edit: please do not quote whole posts if they are long. It clutters up the thread. Thanks]

Worn out record! Jaded, did you watch Brown closely on Sat night? I took particular note of his kicking and there were very few times he didn't hit his target. Give him a break, and focus on his guts and determination. You could never contemplate dropping him after last week.

Couldn't agree more about Nathan Brown. He is unfairly criticized on this forum for his apparent lack of skills. I watched his kicking closely tonight and he found his target on almost all occasions. His courage has never been in doubt.

Who could ever forget the great Stuart Spencer's LONG raking drop kicks? Geoff Tunbridge had the ugliest kick I have ever seen, but boy,his kicks always managed to wobble between the goal posts much to the disgust of our opponents.

Thanks for the explanation Jarka. Good thoughts and I concur. I should have said we are playing 'some kids' on reflection. I was mainly trying to have a go at the so called 'supporters' who 'rubbish ' our beloved team the moment things go wrong. Typical fair weather supporters.
