Should have gone for Pedo to help out Spencer. Watts is far too valuable to waste as a second string ruck.

Only Watts and Hibberd have any decent kicking skills.

WC are similar to us as we have been recently.They can be great front runners on their home track but wilt under real pressure from any ordinary side. They also like us have average leadership with no identifiable strong leader. If last season we had a similar home ground advantage we would have been finalists for sure.

They should also ban advertising from players gear. Ruins the pure aesthetics.

Same story, same names stepping up as in last week when we played them. Our leaders were invisible, making mistakes or both.

Hird and the Colombian connection. http://www.theage.com.au/sport/reclusive-james-hird-spruiks-his-cacao-hunters-australia-chocolate-on-gay-and-lesbian-radio-20170422-gvq91b.html

Freo turned two games they should have lost. We turned two games we should have won.

FTA is all crap. The bigger the rating show the crappier it gets. Arguable that better stuff is shown in their secondary channels. If it wasn't for footy I would never tune in.

We are going to have to live with it. Occasional sacrificial offerings like Melksham will be thrown up to maintain the facade of integrity.

BOM predicting only a shower or two on Monday. More rain on Tuesday. Hopefully the showers will miss on Monday evening.

Irrespective of questions of Melksham footy credentials, hasn't he been punished enough? Has nothing to do with football matters. He has lost his account, received a substantial fine and media shame. Some people think punishment and humiliation should be continuously applied like layers on a cake. People that think this way would no doubt relish a public flogging also.

That's worth at least a six month suspension on Demonland for you.

Looks like Simon Goodwin to me.

Someone working at a TAB maybe dobbed him in. Most footballers are well known and gambling organisations are sensitive with sporting types betting and maybe someone saw a short fat blob come in using his name. How may football people, players or minor officials have been caught out for very minor misdemeanours related to gambling? The big fish are careful never to get caught.

The next player who parks his car in front of a fire hydrant should be suspended. That is inexcusable.

There are a lot of dogs out there as well as loving dog owners. A dog food manufacturers money is as good as any.

Thompson must know a lot what has happened at his club and at other clubs as well. Same as Dank, Hird etc. A lot of this has to do with being caught whilst others have gotten away with it. They are mightily [censored] off that they may be the scapegoated and made examples of. Problem is they can't say more without incriminating themselves and perhaps other clubs (Geelong, GC?) and paying a much higher price be it admitting a crime, being sued and further trashing their dodgy reputations. Thompson also has a couple of flags to protect.

It's just amazing, Dank, Hird, Thompson and others all know the truth and want it out but just can't seem to articulate it. It must be a terrible burden the verbal paralysis holding it all in against their will.

HIs girlfriend would be worried.

They would be undercutting the MFC shop and put them out of business.

Stick to your plasma till it dies then buy an OLED. 80in TV's will always have a premium price because there is a limited market for them.

The year we got Watts we also missed some great opportunities further down. We dudded with Bleese, Strauss and Bennell. We could have had Ballantyne, Shuey, D Beames, Sloane, M Walters, Zaharakis and Hannebery and a stack of other current good players. All these players came after Strauss and Bleese. We did get lucky with Jetta at pick 51.

Nearly all new large high end TV's are now 4K. Best to wait until 4K content is mainstream and TV's cheaper. Now there is virtually no decent 4K content. Who knows when footy will be broadcast in 4K. Maybe in 5 years time if lucky. Viewers will also appreciate little benefit or difference from 1080p to 4K if viewing from over 2.5 metres away. Who watches a 55in or larger TV's close up anyway?

Those match ups 1-5 make me wince. Watts and NicNat would be at least a draw. The others 100 point thrashings.

Will make a good replacement for the prince.
