No, that would be after Retep Nosjack... he's from Bizarro world, a planet populated with nothing but butchers.

Worked that one out the day he first appeared... and yes, he is a little.

Is it just me, or does anyone else get a mental picture of a donkey (ok, let's not sugar coat it, ass) when they read the name Enyaw?

No, it was from Magner... he had forgotten he was still at the club.

I know of Twisted Nerve, but no, I haven't seen it - must look out for it. The first time I saw Wages of Fear was when I was home sick from school in the 60's and it was the mid-day movie... I suppose I've had a soft spot for it ever since, but I love the slow paced building of tension... probably not as good as the original Cape Fear though with Robert Mitchum in some of his best form. Snake Pit is a psychological drama which I have always loved... Olivia de Havilland is brilliant. A couple of later films in a slightly similar vein are Polanski's Repulsion and Altman's Images. Loved both of those.

Me too... I have a nice little DVD set of German horror that includes The Cabinet of Dr Caligari, Nosferatu, The Golem and Waxworks. Also loved the first Frankenstein movie (Karloff) which also owed a lot to that German expressionist style. As far as dark, off centre films go, Harry, He's Here to Help is not a bad effort.

Or there was no plane at all. Has anyone seen a photograph in which any part of the "plane" is visible amongst the wreckage of the building? And no one saw or filmed the plane as it approached? Hmmmm.

Agree... in a well drilled team, Blease could be a very dangerous player.

How would divulging the name of the player be a betrayal of your source? If you were to come on here and say, "I have heard a rumour that X player has been approached", that is no different to any other rumour on this site - you are an anonymous poster, your "source" is unnamed and no-one is any the wiser. Do these people you have spoken to know that you go onto Demonland using the moniker "goodoil"? Somehow I doubt it.

No, just go and start it on a Swans forum.

Then surely that would make those raking left footers all the more impressive!

Wednesday Trade Wrap on the AFL website is now saying that Sewell wants to remain and it is highly unlikely he will be leaving.

Are you telling me that at age 62, I am probably not ready to make a debut next year? Well, X Factor 2014 it is, I suppose!

Ok, ok... I had my anglometer switched to the off position ;-)

Get rid of all of the stuff about skinny kids, poor recruiting in the past and personal vendettas, and you probably have about 15 pages relating to trade rumours.

Great to hear... but if that really is the case, why wouldn't they have anounced this already?

Just a thought, but is there a possibility that as part of a "deal" (obviously it can't be part of a trade) to get pick 2 to Sydney, as well as giving us a player, they relent and release Dew to come to the MFC?

Mahoney says: "...the club is weighing up its initial options for pick No.2, after the trade period officially opened on Monday." Now read on...

Perhaps you didn't read closely, but the "next 10 years" comment was relating to the young midfielders who would benefit from his example/mentoring. As for the "witty insults"... not sure what you are talking about there... if it was the Gen-Y thing, then perhaps you need to grow a thicker skin as it was patently obvious that it was not a serious comment, and more particularly, was a general comment that was directed at no one poster in particular.

Not a comment on HSo'Grinter's post, but when I clicked on his links, I am getting a login dialog that states the following: "A username and password are being requested by http://generatormeme.com. The site says: "Access Restricted (pwrestrict)" Anyone else getting that?

Of course you're right BB... I was just trying to be provocative

You are kidding, surely... Sewell is a veteran finals campaigner in one of, if not THE best midfields in the AFL, is very well spoken in terms of getting a message across, has a very good football brain and would provide the kind of leadership and guidance that our team is crying out for. Yes, he is 29 which probably gives him 3 good years in the game, but what he can offer would go far beyond that... he would be helping to develop a midfield that will carry us for the next decade. Sorry, but I can never understand the short term thinking that believes we should not be bringing in experienced mids who are in the twilight of their careers but who can offer the kind of mentoring that we would otherwise dream of (it would be almost like having another coach on the field). After all, it's not as if we are going to be playing finals in the next couple of years if we opt purely for youth and inexperience. I don't know, maybe it's a Gen-Y thing?

So essentially, he didn't REALLY want to come to the MFC.

Club has already stated we won't be going after Shaw, so it looks like he'll be someone else's problem.

A quarter past five? What kind of a job is that? Mine usually finishes at five on the dot.
