  1. I live for the day he plays as many good games as Beamer played !
  2. Guess who we are playing on Saturday? 187?
  3. Don't be ridiculous he used a rusty razor blade.
  4. Now dc is the moment of truth! Lie or tell the truth Unfortunately a complete accident.
  5. Next thing is Hogan won't make it back!
  6. Send PJ a letter dpositive.It works I have had positive action on things I have written about in the past. Eg. A new sponsor early this year.
  7. I have friends who live in Sudbury which is about 3 hours drive north of Toronto while not among the coldest parts of Canada they do have -30C in winter. Suggest you follow dc advice. Go in Summer
  8. Saturday morning my Grand daughter and I had pancakes, banana and maple syrup. Very nice I can say. Her Footy team selection is still to come but I think she has joioned the great Banana appreciation club.
  9. I cannot find much to argue with there rpfc. You have nailed it.
  10. Add Gawn, Barry, Toumpas, Michie, Evans to your list and like you I have serious doubts about Mckenzie.There also others that are always found wanting when the going gets tough. Like Watts and Howe We are third last with four wins from fifteen games. We are not much chop.
  11. I think you are missing the point HF. I not sure anyone is saying 20 of Saturday's team of 22 have to go. I am not. But the simple fact is we are not even close to having a good list. twenty of the list of 43 or whatever it is are not good enough.
  12. Tend to agree with you R and B In 1983 I spent February - March in the American North East a large part of it in Chicago. Now that is a winter. You know it is cold when first thing in the morning your tyres are frozen to road and it take 5 minutes driving for the flat spots to disappear.
  13. I wrote this last Thursday " I seriously doubt he is at the club at present" After watching the game on Saturday I am convince he has yet to be recruited. We struggle to have a genuine A grade player let alone a "Star"
  14. I agree with wyl I reckon there are close to 20 out of our list of 40 that are not good enough and will not take us from the bottom four. Unfortunately it is not possible to change 20 players and find better ones in one season. It is probably going to take 2 - 3 years to achieve a list that can threaten the top eight. There is a reason we cannot win games we don't have enough good players plain and simple IMO.
  15. Agree with most of what you say AF however I think we constantly delude ourselves on the quaslity of the list.We have said similair things to your comment that we could easily improve to a higher position next year with the addition of a couple of players . We have been saying that for four years, the net result is we are still a bottom four side at best. A couple of new players in 2015 will not improve us much IMO. We are a good dozen players short of having a list capable of threatening eighth position. There were eight players in the 22 on Saturday that IMO are never going to take us higher they simply are not good enough. Roos has improved the player performances but a large number are showing us their maximium. New better players is the only way to show significant improvement.
  16. Agree bb I think you might be a little generous with 50% but you cannot change more than 6-8 / season so I guess we have to keep 75% of the list each year. That means it is going to take 2 -3 years to get a half decent list. That is going to be tough to watch
  17. Anyone still think we have a good list? Anyone think we are about to do a Port? Same old VFL standard players who have not been good enough for three years now.
  18. I rarely watch anything live so many adverts destroys the program. PVR my favourites and then watch them without ads in 66% of the time.
  19. DF From WJ's comments on the Bombers thread it was on TV last night. Got into the Web site and nothing there.
  20. must be on the subscriber site DF.Not in todays Hun or free site.
