  1. Oh no RB I saw the light but I was convinced it was a locomotive. Now I think it is a bloke with a torch
  2. At the risk of getting into slanging match Jose I am talking about have good players not have the best players in the leadership group. Of course you have to have the best leadership group. That is self evident by the very title of the group. What I am trying to tell you is as i have written "I don't think it matters if we have 5 or 15 in the leadership team If we don't have good players" ( in the team )" the results will be the same as the last 5 years. It is the quality of the players in the" (playing )"group not the number" in the leadership group."
  3. See my comment to Jose above McQueen. The leadership still has 6 players from last year. Lets assume those players are wonderful leaders and good players ( which I think they are ) It did not get us above third last, that says to me that unless you have 30 quality players the leadership group will make little difference. Good players make good teams and good coaches. Good players are the starting point Without them you finish third last.
  4. Sorry Jose it was not well written. I what I was trying to say is I don't think it matters if we have 5 or 15 in the leadership team If we don't have good players the results will be the same as the last 5 years. It is the quality of the players in the group not the number.
  5. Yes I think you are Save yourself the trip and mail it to me RB I will carry the bet. But better still kept it in your wallet
  6. That may well say more about the team than Jordie's ability bing.
  7. Plus 3 others that would make 6, easily enough in my view. At nine it is 40% of a side of 22 seems a little ridiculous to me. But it is not the number that is important it is their abilities that counts. With eight last year we had one real win, so obviously it would not have matter if we had four or fifteen the results would have been the same. At the end of the day IMO it does not matter just have guys who are good players.
  8. He is certainly not robust stuie and Just think after two knee recos in two years they will bring him along very slowly. Lets hope he does a "grimes" and has an injury free 2013
  9. I seriously hope you are correct WJ, I have no doubt of his ability. However I do have big doubts about his body being up to the grind of AFL football. As we speak it is doubtful he will be available for AFL duty in the early part of season.
  10. I want to be Vlad the impaler but I will need to put on about 30kg so can we have reasonable notice please.
  11. Hurrah to that WJ you have my 100% agreement. Bring in on!
  12. I see you have recovered quite a bit since the morning Bbo. obviously it has started to wear off. I have been worried about you all day.
  13. I believe it is 25/1 dc but that is from my memory
  14. A friend of my daughters is an agent. He has AFL, RL, Rugby Union, Soccer players and actors on his books. Has no original Australians. Reason success rate is too low and 90% are too hard of work. His view is the chance of getting a good client is too low.
  15. It will also say a lot about our recruiting over the couple of years these guys were chosen. I hope they all justify there selection as they are what is basically left from those years high selections
  16. Yes they must be running behind GD in the believability stakes. Oh god I have probably just insulted 50 Dees supporters ( wonder what Fan does ?)
  17. Very good dc Glad to see early 2013 has you in good form.
  18. You would think WJ that after all my years on this planet I would be used to the "human condition" but alas some days I succumb.Fortunately on most occasions I throw it off when something positive happens. Thank god for this thread!
  19. Interesting problem bad bottles of beer. I have felt poorly quite a few times in my life and I am sure it was the last stubbie that was off!
  20. Now I know why there are no challengers WJ
  21. Preston is now dc and it is probably the same distance. They are of course not inner city but from a real estate point they are now afforded that tag
  22. As I said above Jose I cannot warm to Strauss, does not give me much confidence
