Crooks do tend to look shattered when they get caught The Nuremberg defence, "I was only obeying orders", didn't work.

Was that intentional, ie the suggestion that you are in fact tied, or is it a typo or auto spell?

"On the bomber boards someone has said it is SARMS they were using. If so, this is really bad [censored]. Looking through what it does and how it works, I would put it in the massively high risk category for long-term impact on your health and probably some forms of cancer. I really hope they haven't been stupid enough to go down that path. " Can't do the link thingy, but try this http://www.dailytelegraph.com.au/sport/london-olympics/designer-drug-srams-sweeping-world-sport/story-fn9dirj0-1226266138458 These 2 paragraphs particularly interested me: I know we beat them, unexpectedly, at night. Does anyone remember how they fared especially in night games last season? The only side effect reported, extensively, by bodybuilder guinea pigs on internet forums is a change in light sensitivity. "It's like looking through yellow sunglasses at night, a high beam coming at me no longer blinds me,'' said one user. Another said his eyes took from five to 10 minutes to adjust when he moved into or out of a brightly lit room. You've got to feel bad for Goddard right now. He could have to carry the team, along with this year's batch of recruits, unless of course they have "signed waivers" and started on the stuff already too. The AFL will have to get in and quickly Lance this before it gets out of hand.

Betting should be suspended, as the odds in a 17 team comp would be different. Bugger - I hate a fixture with byes.

Age Football writer Waroline Cilson is about to release the following: "Essendon have been inadvertently caught up in the scandalous ongoing Melbourne tanking scandal - Cameron Schwab is said to have, according to reliable sources, secretly encouraged the novice Bomber coach to force his players to experiment with body building drugs. In further breaking news Schwab has also been implicated, according to other reliable sources, in masterminding the shocking European Football (Soccer) match fixing scandal, based on his well known success in systematic match fixing at the MFC. Further investigations are underway on suspicion that he may also be part of the Elvis mystery, and the Kennedy assassination, according to sources."

surely he would have to plead either stupidity, or incompetence if this actually happened and he did not know. Either way not exactly a golden mark on his résumé.

If he don't want us,we don't want him. Simple. Conscript armies rarely outfight professionals.

I had thought that a veteran had to play 10 years at the one club - no doubt Vlad will have given the franchises special exemptions as he has for most things.

You missed my tongue in cheek.

you mean, since Moloney has pulled the plug he will no longer run the camp for the young Dees!

two cheap and meaningless possessions across half back there. Well done for your insightful contribution to the debate nd the pathway forward. We need "supporters" like you -NOT!

I would certainly like an up to date prognosis on Clark's recovery before I would consider this though.And interesting that you see Fitz > Martin as a forward considering he has had ? 2 games. I am disappointed that we haven't seen more of Fitz especially when we have been so short of tall timber up forward since Clark's injury; after all it is an experimental season.

Hi az_tec - if you look carefully at your keyboard, at each end of the bottom line is a key usually labelled either "SHIFT" or marked with an up arrow. This enables small letters to become big ones, like This! It tends to makes sentences easier to read, especially when there are a lot of names aka "proper nouns".

or Mt Martha Primary School -- oh hang on, they can't even play bruise-free footy there any more.

you must have missed the "silky skills".

Trouble is, turnovers cost, and his one consistency is that he does regular turnovers. Can he / Neeld turn it around? 5 years on the list (?4) and hasn't progressed in this vital KPI.

Surely must be b well ahead of (a). What have you against banana fritters? Did one burn your mouth? Should be eaten with liberal doses of ice cream

Brilliant stuff, Whisperer. I am confused, though, as to who could the dark, swarthy individual of heavy build possibly be?

Was he picked up anywhere? Pity - the name alone would draw crowds ;-)

And a few (hopefully celebratory) wines, bubblys or beers will do the same, but then again, unfortunately for those of us blokes old enough to remebmer "the glory days" the ageing prostate can do the same on it's own accord unaided!

I don't recall having seen anything much if at all about Lawrence in the various training reports. Reputed to be a potential slick crumbing forward, a much needed commodity at MFC, yet so little being said which is a worry. Have any of those who have been fortunate enough to get to training sessions anything to observe? If he is any sort of serious contender for the role, he should really be starting to make big statements (on the track) by now.

Hopefully that is just for Movember and the razor will be out on Thursday - and for Dunny while they are at it. And for me the name easily trumps Stainless Ferrous Edgeass, or whatever - that #22 Collingwood dude. Chicken Smallhorn would come in at second place - I remember him from Pelaco Inquest, a 1950s Saturday evening review of the six games, the full round, played that afternoon. Not a name to forget.

Well, this game we are all here talking about is ultimately based on what we do with that very ball once we get our hands on it ! Presumably that is what you are all referring to ?

Good point re Liam's goal assists And, like Davey, early in his career opposition defenders were shizenscared anytime he was around - he used to pounce from nowhere. Unfortunately both lost this ability, or probably rather the desire: Neeld sounds not the sort of man to put up with laziness, so Liam and Aaron, pull your socks up, contribute all the time. THIS coach recognizes the need for each and every player to have a role in each phase of the game : when WE have the ball, when THEY have the ball, and at stoppages or when the ball is in dispute. Pretty simple stuff really.

....here's hoping he doesn't need to !
