Probably a bit unfair with the title of this topic, but I notice that Mitch got himself engaged and Nev got himself married over the weekend. I suppose it might add a little stability... but how will Mitch manage at his wedding (taking vows AND wedding shots)? Anyway, congrats to both.

Also, isn't there the option to promote a rookie midway through the season?

Actually, that's kind of correct... we intercepted him on his way to Freo

The only player we have had to come close to him in terms of raising the excitement levels was the Wizard when he was in full flight.

Vini (I came - ok, it should be Veni, but close enough), Vici (I conquered) - all we need now is someone name Vidi (I saw). Roos can be Caesar.

Thanks for sharing ;-)

Rodney?

I think you will find he was trying to argue that the MFC was expecting too much for their pick 2 (that is, hoping for a $150 return on a $100 bill). As it turns out, that's pretty much what we managed to accomplish.

Um... ? (sorry, that went way over my head)

The Dominator

My old school (hated the place).

And to put an even more positive spin on it, depending on what positions people are recruiting for, pick 9 is actually a bit higher than 9th best... assuming after Boyd they were all mids, then that is 8th best mid at worst; but I'm guessing there are some others in there that aren't mids.

and if you're an Australian football commentator, it's sure as hell going to be pronounced "mit-cheeeeeee"

I would think he means that we have basically used our 1st pick already (on Tyson) and now our 2nd is 9 instead of 20. Makes sense.

So we now have picks 9 (still gets us a classy mid), 21 (compo... hopefully) and 53 (which essentially means we got Viv Michie (sp?) for free). Nice one MFC!

I don't disagree... I just have an issue of people turning things personal where the player is concerned.

You come into a rumours thread not expecting pointless crap?? At least the discussion about Pedersen et al, relieves the boredom.

Yeah, it's all Pedersen's fault that he got taken by the club and just may not have been good enough to make it at AFL level... but given time and the right coaching he might be able to make it yet. If you want a good example of how a very average player can blossom under Roos, look no further than LRT at the Swans. And I agree with you whole heartedly... we SHOULD all make it personal and start bagging him for his poor physique and his poor play... I mean to say, we should be sending the link to these shots off to Jenny Craig so she can come to his rescue.

What are you getting at?

Just a heads up for anyone who may be interested; the International Rules game will be live from Ireland on 7Mate starting at 6:30am on Sunday morning. With Aaron Davey installed as VC and Dom Barry playing his first game at a "senior" level, it at least means it holds some interest for us. Please don't use this thread just to run the format down or to derail the thread with petty arguments about the worth of this game.

No, bottom five have to do a stint of moderation here on Demonland

I gues that's the difference between a true supporter and a fair-weather supporter.

Actually, I think that was what he was about to do... I just didn't want to spoil the dramatic effect of my post by stating that.

Yeah, know what you mean... I just saw Frawley tweeting a photo of himself lazing around on his back in Paris, resting before heading up the Eifel Tower... hope to god that they delist him asap.
