  1. I have watched that footage several times and I'm sorry, but I just do not see any slinging motion at all on the part of Jackson. Grimes was holding Jackson and both were turning, lost balance and Jackson landed on top of Grimes. No ones fault. I think that trying to find something in that incident is really taking parochialism a bridge too far... if anyone is to be blamed, it should be the MCC (I assume it's their call) for having that surface so close to the field of play.
  2. Well, in actual fact we HAVE seen it. MFCSS does not necessarily only manifest itself when we are traveling better than expected; rather, it can also appear when we are getting our pants lowered, but the form it takes is that of ridiculous optimism... that is, a few days after a 108 point loss to Wet Toast we were going to walk all over the Toigs. Now, after a football lesson from the Toigs, people are already spouting about how we are going to walk all over the Doggies.
  3. Someone in another thread mentioned that Jurrah was two weeks away from playing at Casey.
  4. We all know the great guitarists like Clapton, Hendrix, Townsend and Page, so I thought I'd throw in a couple of lesser known lights, who I consider to be among the best: Bill Nelson from Be Bop Deluxe (featured no less than bass player Charlie Tumahali formerly of the Australasian band Healing Force): Crying to the Sky: and former Fleetwood Mac guitarist (when they were a decent band) Peter Green: End of the Game (if you can get your head around the free form approach, this playing is simply unbelievably good):
  5. Agree with the first comment, but as far as the 'turning it around' comment goes, how long have we been trying to do that now? As someone else alluded to somewhere here on these forums, we have the turning circle of a Mac truck.
  6. And if Dees189227 is accurate in his reporting of Neeld's presser (I haven't seen or heard it), "...the worst thing is Neeld said in the presser that Moloney is still a few weeks away. How bad is this groin?" Is this fact or fiction? (many seem to be nominating Beamer to come back this week)
  7. I take it you mean Sharon Hoe(y)... yeah, rabid I think is the term that best describes her.
  8. Sorry, but after our past 3 weeks, even with Lake out, I cannot see us rolling the Doggies; they are another of those teams that seem to have the wood on us. I'm usually very upbeat about our chances, but I'm starting to get whatever it is that Old Dee is suffering. After watching the way GWS showed some fight against the Weagles, I am feeling more and more disenchanted...as I said somewhere else, I feel bad about giving my 10 year old son a Young Demon membership as part if his birthday present...in retrospect, I think he might have preferred a pair of socks.
  9. Grimes lays a tackle and knocks himself out???? Sums it all up really.
  10. This is just getting embarrassing!!! In all of my 50+ years of following this team, I have NEVER felt so much like giving up as a member/supporter.
  11. And to add insult to injury, a free kick for a goal to Richmond for an interchange infringement... we really are a shambles!!!
  12. And again they show a replay while Nahas is kicking a goal.
  13. Half the team needs to go... I'm sorry, but putting in an effort for 5 minutes each quarter is not acceptable.
  14. How do our defenders constantly allow their forwards so much room?
  15. Smart and strong play from Clark... nice set up for Sellar to goal.
  16. I really don't know where this idea (pushed by a few on here) that Sylvia is a bogan comes from as he just acquitted himself very well on Fox Footy... very well spoken and intelligent well considered comments.
  17. The only thing that is saving us is their terrible kicking at goal.
  18. How did Rewoldt get that much space??? Frawley sleeping?
  19. Fox Footy show a replay of Jones earning a free while he kicks the goal?????
  20. Lucky we got that sponsor deal... could be forking out a few dollars in fines this week.
  21. Apart from passing the ball to opponents a couple of times to help set up goals, can anyone tell me what Jack Grimes has done?
  22. More dumb play... this time from Clark!!!
