Interesting that these three are among the worst kicks in our side.

Pity we cannot win games for these high IQ, toothy, clean skinned Members!

I will gladly take a few thousands more [censored] as members TBF. Everyone's money is exactly the same colour. Not sure why anyone would take out a membership of a club with 80K let alone 100K members . You will not get into any game worth seeing. Might be cheaper and easier to buy Foxtel. If the MFC had 80K members I would not bother.

Oh no Hardtack I am wrong again! Lucky for Jones, Toumpas, Howe, Garland etc. the players are running a little bit faster.

They both seem to have an interesting skill.They seem to be able to pass the ball half a metre in front of the intended recipient.

Byrnes was not there billy, well if he was I did not see him.I have a low opinion of him so was I was not looking for him, but I am confident he was not there.

No but you might be able to cut the Logos off and use them.I think you will struggle Redbeartd, back in the 70's they used to give a lot of that stuff away free or for little cost. Logos etc are now big business. I honestly think you will have to buy current garments and then cut them up and apply to your Duffle coat. Costly but likely is the only way forward

When you watch Toumpas kick and then compare him to Nicholson and Bail it is like night and day.On average I thought the kicking today was better than in the past.

bb I have been to training when we have been playing finals and when we won two games a year.As you know we always look good playing ourselves. It is when we front up in games against our competitors that we find out our real worth. From the changes we have made since August 2013 and watching today I find it hard to believe we will not be better than 2013. Is that 3 wins or 10? Little idea at this point, ask me again at the end of May 2014

That probably covers it BH I always find it difficult to judge things at training because it is just that Training.Forgot to merntion Toumpas seemed to covering ground faster than I remember during his training last season. Gawn was leaving when I got there and returned just as I was leaving so no idea how he went today or if he was on the field after I left.

I was there this morning from about 9.45 to 10.40 first time this preseason. First thing was I struggled to recognize a number of the new players. However from brief visit there seemed to be a higher intensity than last season. From my view the normal good players like Jones and Garland were good trainers no surprise I guess. Just a few observations - Viney is the perfect build for an inside Mid, Low centre of gravity, strong thighs and broad across the hips. He looks a lot stronger than last season. -Garland was encouraging a couple of the younger / new players. Looked every bit a captaincy candidate to me. - Mcdonald seemed to be used as a forward in quite a few of the drills. - Nicholson and Bail still cannot hit the side of a barn with there kicking, with Pedersen not far behind. - Fitzpatrick was grabbing everything that came near him, impressed me. - Blease arrived just as I was leaving. Overall there looked to be way more urgency in the training than recent times.

I want to see - Grimes play as a half back - Trengove as a Half forward - Tapscott do something, anything more than the odd bump

I understand what you are telling me billy. But what amazes me is the number of seemingly intelligent people that get sucked in. A number mentioned in the press I would have thought were far from being fools but in they go. Obviously They are not as bright as I thought

It is astounding Robbie, you just wonder at what is going through their grey matter on these occasions. Two things spring into mind - There is a sucker born every minute - If it looks to good to be true then it is.

Yes me too training is like dancing with your sister.

Yes you do but it seems to happen a on regular basis. Our x president has lost a lot. Explains a bit I guess.

Never let the truth get in the way of a good story.

Sounds like a reasonable idea demonoid! Not sure you will get far with it though.

Any industry that has lots of cash floating around attracts the interest of crooks TBF Add in the human frailty of greed and guess what people lose their money. I am constantly reminded of that saying "If it looks to good to be true it usually is"

Some houses are sold at inflated prices when there is only one genuine bidder too dc.

Was it a spider H_T?

A bit like Mr. Vlahos BB!

Hmmm a spider bit?
