I think Bailey is realist enough to know what may be in store for him if we don't make the finals. By his words and actions he will not die wondering. This is no time for dealing with reality checks. Not even the start of the season yet and some are already prepared to accept lowered expectations. And I have full confidence that he will deliver for us.

Go see your doctor and get the Prozac prescription now.

Please call this number before it is too late, 13 11 14.

And another incredibly stupid post.

She's been arrested? Anyone here going to chip in some bail to help her out?

Of losing experience we won't miss.

I take it you will put in on the record that you will support Bailey if we miss the finals.

Yeah I'll give him this advice. He should team up with Fev and go Vegas to manage his NFL punting career.

Well you better get out there and help her. Do something positive. I save my grave fears for more deserving people.

The girl and the manager are chislers and scammers. They will keep rolling the dice till their luck runs out. These types all learn their tricks young and this girl is a lot more street smart than all of us put together and will easily twist blokes around her finger if she can get something from them. Even her parents are totally lost with her and disowned her by all reports. She's going to love all the help she gets because its going to be her meal ticket for a while. Can't wait to see what she gets up to in a few years time. As for him, he's now gonna play the I need help card too. But there will be a lot less sympathy for him because he's not as pretty.

I expect a top eight finish. If not then goodbye Bailey. But there is a chance to push further and make the top four. A early good run with injuries and stringing consecutive games will put us in position to have a crack at top 4. And one or two fancied sides delivering sub par expectations will help.

Poor Kangaroos? So's your aunt Minnie! That will happen when we turn them into road kill. Then we can have pity on them.

That will last about 6 weeks for him. They should pay him out with food and taxi vouchers plus cheap accommodation in Southbank.

Interesting to see how many now are focusing on his deficiencies. And he does have some. Kick and think a little better but he's given us some sorely lacking hardness. But currently everyone on our back line except Frawley and to a lesser extent Garland need to add something to their game if we are to seriously improve this season. All the other guys including MacDonald have room for improvement unlike the recently departed Bruce who had nothing left to offer.

You'd know. Don't let us suffer. Please tell us the truth.

Everyone wants to know what's the hell is going on and we are being fed tripe and spin as a regular diet from all the major players. I don't mind playing the devil's advocate until the truth decides to reveal itself.

Most of them just waste their talents on the trivial and inane.

A very rewarding relationship for her and her media partners perhaps. News would love to tip manure on the AFL. The Murdoch Empire and News control both codes of Rugby in Australia and the AFL are now muscling in on their territory............ Could be? Nah too preposterous. Not going into this one.

One thing about this girl that hasn't been mentioned much is her use of modern technology to further her cause. She is one talented Wizzchick. She has fully exploited the net, chat sites, video, clandestine downloading/hacking of computers and phones and what appears to be secret video and audio entrapment and not to mention mainstream media too. Plus also what appears to be credit card manipulation to boot. She should team up with Julian Assange or join the CIA. She has caused quite a shock wave in the hidden underworld of the football community that won't be forgotten for a long time.

Listening to JJJ news on the car radio at 7am. They must get their news feed out of Sydney. Extensive reporting on last nights ARL match and yesterdays Rugby Union in Canberra. Practice match reports on 4 other ARL clubs including the Storm but not a word on the historic first up GWS/Sydney derby. Must be a big yawn up there.

Is there an update on the official injury list? No update on the website since before the Adelaide games.

We all know that.

That was a seperate legal case and we have to be mindful of outstanding legal issues since she still cannot be named.

Soon she will turn 18. Her game plan won't work as well then. Though married men, doctors, psychiatrists, psychologists, policeman, lawyers, priests, politicians and others offering her professional services should still be mindfull of their ethics. This incident is strikingly similar to that 17 year old girl who recently had sex with the policeman who was trying to help her after alleged improper behaviour by St Kilda footballers. Of course she did the right thing and got him sacked and criminally convicted. Not related are they?

I have had word from my very close Essendon connection that they will be after us this year and penciling us in for wins. They don't like it that we spoilt their anniversay party last year. Our rise mirrors their decline. They still believe they are the masters of the universe and that we are are just flaky upstarts that belong in the cotton fields.
