This thread never ceases to suck me in. I see new comments and think there maybe news. Today's it's about  the Lions and the Gabba. Is there no end to the torture?

Anyone familiar with the Weis bar?  They are now half the size.

Funny you raise that Mr. Leg I had one last night and thought similar. 

Just now, Macca said:

Yeah but they are playing hard ball and we probably won't get what we want

Not sure who is playing the hardest Macca, time will tell. 

Just now, Macca said:

Well Sydney don't rank him too highly as they've only offered pick 46

The question is ... do Sydney want him that badly?  

Oh I think they want him badly it’s that they now find they are having trouble getting him and the pies vice captain.

Grundy turns 30 early next year and is on a combined $4Million deal for 4 years ($300k covered by the Pies)

If we were in need of a first choice ruckman would we be prepared to pay that amount of money plus give away a pick in 20's?  

For a 30yo ruckman with limitations? Can't play back or forward?

A pick in the 30's is probably going to happen

If we had no ruckman probably Macca, that’s the situation the Swans find themselves in. It will get done eventually. 

3 minutes ago, Macca said:

Yes but equally, do we value Grundy?

If so, how on earth does Schache get preferred to Grundy?

And then not get used when our KPF’s were poor on the day. That will go down in history as a wonder of the 21st century Macca.

Future third round! Not much return. Basically we have let him go for not much due to good service in the past.

you have stents in your mik-shakes?

Sounds like a good idea DC.

an old fashioned vanilla milkshake with the right ingredients takes a bit of beating.

full cream milk, quality ice-cream, vanilla essence, tablespoon of honey, all shaken to within an inch of its life.

yuuuummo

 

Drop the vanilla and honey but add strawberry and you have my vote. Probably why I had to have stents inserted.

Ice creams on the other hand: Does anyone have two in a sitting?

Cue memories of Peter's Two-In-Ones...

Depends on the ice cream!

Not really, it's just a lot more pastry and very little meat, or whatever is inside.

I meant 2 eskimo pies

More of a fruit juice man are you?

Prefer a good milkshake.

Yes, but always found it a little petite.

Like eating a party pie, instead of a real one.

Has the thought every crossed your mind to have two?

Make smoothies and sip until next delivery.

Not really a smoothy person Mr. Leg. Might have to venture further afield!

So what happens if we hold out to the death for pick 11 from Swans and it doesn't eventuate?

He plays for the MFC in 2024, but it won’t happen of course he will be at the Swans.

In today's world I I feel nothing but sadness. However a first world problem has today come to my notice and I cannot leave it hidden. 

Where have the Bananas gone? I visited 4 stores in my part of Melbourne two stores had none, one store had a dozen very green ones and Aldi had 3 yes 3 only which I bought. I asked where are the bananas? Three shrugged their shoulders and one said we have not had delivers for 4 days. This is all too much how do I go on past Thursday?

I wasn't having a shot at you dd.

And many wouldn't have picked him to finish top 10 - chronically under rated player. Well, not by the coaches and players, just fans.

How did I go with my predictions? 

Picked the top 10 in order.

 

An absolute marvel !

Yeah I like the Sunday 1:10pm games. Game is over by 3:45pm and you've still got the late afternoon/early evening to do stuff after.

Also hoping for more Saturday 1:45pm/2:10pm games. 

 

Don’t hold your breath unless we slip out of GF contention. Poor rating time for the media. We are destined for a lot of night games again which is good for sponsors but poor for me.

I hate booing.  I never boo at the football.  I will, however, hold an exception to that rule for that dog Maynard.  Can't stand him.

You are not alone KDF, the worst part is he has a GF medal.

Stay Brodie, the club is going to be better for it and I reckon you'll be much more valuable to the whole team than you realize.

YA you are wasting your time and energy he is GONE! 

After all the pies concessions this year they will get their request to end the Bun deal and if he wants out of the MFC the club he goes will have to pay the full contract figure. Are the Swans or Anyone else interested at $1 mill + ? We might end up with him with us in 2024.

It WOULD have been us if we had any sort of luck with injuries. 

Or we could kick straight.

Maynard winning a flag is a disgrace.

That does not cover it.

Let's face it, if it happened in round 2 he would have got 3-4.

They came up with the smothering angle and then said the hit was accidental, as he wasn't bumping and then poorly prosecuted the case.

Nudge, nudge, wink, wink.

We all know how this works with the AFL favourites.

Cripps last year another pathetic example and like Gus, Ah Chee, Cripp's victim, missed the finals.

Newman last year got off with a punch to the throat, because they said the charge sheet had the wrong hand named as the striking one, even though they said those technicalities are irrelevant.

I think back to Barry Hall the Swans Captain, punching a Saint pretty hard in the guts, 150 meters off the ball, in a PF.

Tribunal then found that a Swans player was about to grab the ball 150 meters away and he would would have kicked it forward and then that Hall was in the play and it was deemed not off the ball. Hall was cleared and was one of the best in the Swan's flag.

AFL happy.

Integrity is a swear word at the AFL. 

 

They would not know it if it bit them on [censored].

Nobody knows how Brundy would have gone for MFC in the finals because he wasn't selectedy.  All else is speculation.  

Reading that transcript just reminds me why I don't listen to empty airheads on drive radio.  Appalling and rude - and I expect she thought it was really funny. 

Agree 100% Mono, I think it applies more on FM stations.
