  1. Oh there are a lot of lines in this but I am supporting the Weid to play well this year so I will have to keep them to myself but hell it is hard.
  2. We seldom see the real value of a player at training because I always think training is like dancing with your sister. However I am glad to see he is holding his own. We have a lot hinging on him. We need him to play consistant good games if we are to give the flag a nudge in the next couple of years.
  3. From your comments it appears the Weid is doing well. Correct?

    We haven't ?
  5. He is coming to the Dees? Sorry the temptation was too great.
  6. 20+ years ago jnr the game has changed. Many more flags have been won by teams with competent but average Ruckman.
  7. I reckon the Pies have over paid, I have held the believe for some time that champion Ruckman do not win you flags. The Pies and us had the two best Ruckman the last couple of years by a long stretch have either won a flag? No! Richmond has won two flags in three years with competent Ruckman but not Champions. The Hawks won numerous flags with the same types.
  8. That is a big chunk of their salary cap for the next 7 years he had better stay healthy. This reminds me of the Buddy deal, the only way it is justifiable is if the Swans win a flag or more. So far no flags and they slipping down the ladder.
  9. You mean someone will turn up?
  10. Plenty happening at the tennis door the next two weeks and with no trains on two lines and trams on strike at times over the next two weeks Casey is probably the better option.
  11. Vs hot and windy!
  12. I think I read when he joined us that he played 12 senior games last year. A friend of mine Yes I have a friend who is an Essendon supporter says he is inconsistant. sounds like Kent to me. But time will tell like always, at the very least he sounds like a good back up.

    I have them all for years however the one I like and still wear on game days is from 2006. For a while we seem to have scarves where the red looked pink and then the red became almost maroon. I could never understand why we had so much trouble getting the red to look red. 2006 is red and blue strips 145 mm wide and 1.4 m long and thick with the old MFC / demon logo on one end and the year on the other end. The red is red not pink not orange and not maroon. Why do we have to change the red colour all the time? Do the Tigers change the yellow? Do Essendon change their red?
  14. I will be very happy with the first half of that dl4e
  15. Wow I can remember when this site was about football

    Interesting You cannot vote for Spargo? The guy who has filled the roll for the majority of the last two years. Not that I would but have we decided he is not up to the job?
  17. Amen to that Bbo

    The difference is all those players had shown they were good at the top level. That cannot yet be said about Baker.
  19. That could be difficult for some Saty.
  20. There are a lot of humans who are hardly worth having around LDC.
  21. Today I received emails from three different business' ( eg the local real estate agent ) informing me of them running appeals and I should give generously. Now I acknowledge that these people have their heart in the right place but I have to wonder how and where the funds will be used. It seems like now every business has to have an appeal so as not to be seen as uncaring. Yesterday I read that the $50 million people donated to the actress woman's appeal can only be used for the NSW rural fire mob. I am fairly confident that the majority of donors were unaware of this when they donated. IMO there is going to be a lot of money wasted by perhaps good intentioned people who after all are ameteurs in this field.
  22. Happens to us all dd, normally I would say take a free deep breaths but fairly confident that is not such a good idea today. Enjoy today anyway.
  23. It makes me wonder about the human race when you see things like this Saty. Are they so addict to exercise that they cannot understand the danger today?
  24. I am surprised only one has taken the bait.
