Tarax Club

Some cows are cows.

DT you appear to be under a common misapprehension. Those are Holstein - Frieslans not a guernsey to be seen.

Recent scenes a Gosch's give cause for optimism.

As a lapsed Foxtel/Kayo viewer, the recruitment drive at Casey, should reboot considerable interest in footy next season from Casey Fields. Give the 🐝’s a run for their money. Pleased Noah gets to float his boat. Smithy’s never looked so good!

Kharma Kharma Chameleon he comes and goes…

Inspirational WJ just keep a weather eye out for this bloke.

Strictly HFF After the euphoria of the draft some sober reflection. DL has more mood swings than Ashton’s Circus high trapeze act. Without a net.

Not 1996 mate but it must of been a good year for school boy ‘humour’.

Love the new avatar and comeback née wcw. Caspar the ghost was one of my favourite comic book characters of my boyhood. Plently of fun back than without tamagotchi’s, PlayStations or whatever. Get outside and play kick to kick in the street! Pleased Uncle Roy’s got his own thread and Shane has returned in ripping shape. Looking forward to seeing how all this plays out. Feeling optimistic about the season ahead.

Coming soon at a permanent training base near you.

Dare I say it according to some “he’s been a very naughty boy”.

Thoroughly concur with that DS9. Daniel Harford as an interview host, leaves the majority of ex-hawks who plague the footy media in his dust. Happy Birthday Charlie wishing you a prosperous return to the field next season.

Rock hard big year coming up.

Occasionally in my wanderings, I visit Karama shopping centre here in Darwin. On the wall opposite the Karama Tavern where you enter the shopping centre. Is a Sunday NT News pictorial display. Amongst the usual crocodile stories and page 3 bikini clad girls. Is an image of Liam Jarrah on a long scything run into the forward line with Colin Sylvia in the background. Back page headline says 'Sizzling Demons Too Hot'. I remember that cameo very well as I was in attendance the night before at Marrara Stadium. TMM that is one of the best displays of indigenous sporting prowess. It remains there well over a decade after the events portrayed. His recruitment was rather fortuitous given a number of clubs interest, but having the number 1 pick in the 2009 pre-season draft certainly helped.

Much closer to Jackie O according to Cal and Riley.

Paul Roos during his coaching stint memorably had Dave Hughes come in during the pre-season and address the boys. Hughes referred to Bernie Vince’s haircut as not been unlike that of a tennis ball buzz. The funny part was where he’d end up, as the Australian Open was in progress nearby. Somewhere in a women’s single match in the knickers of an attractive star. Bought the house down. The second image recalls this guy. Who appears overly amorous with the Collingwood crowd. (Sylvester is pleading mistaken identity). Haircut is colloquially known as “the Shunk” for good reason.

Dwayne’s hitherto missing twin bro…

Will Noah Yze get a rookie opportunity AM?

Sadly no plantain.

Meanwhile down at the Docklands crossroads. O’Farrell selected by Carlton son of Cripps’ silk. Do a deal with the devil he’ll have your soul. Watch this space…

Can see this thread is a bit of a Q&A session. Something that has been slightly perplexing is the expansion of the first round of the draft. At genesis every club was given one pick in reverse ladder order. That should total 18 with the growth of the competition. After the horse trading, plus the genie of future firsts now live! Some clubs will of course have multiple first round picks. Add the generous AFL largesse to the perpetual cellar dwellers, ‘disadvantaged’ newer franchises in the NRL heartland and compensation picks for free agency. The first round girth has blown out right out to a generous 27 notches on last night’s first draft night. Will the entry of the 19th Tassie Devils necessitate the use of braces on the now moribund figure of the draft?

May the crows beggar belief, be bamboozled in the headlights and buy or be bullied into taking Harvey the Bull. Sid the Draper suits our needs best prototype modern footballer. Best dressed gets their man. 🤞🤞🤞 🤞 🤞

Especially so at Carringbush, out Moonee Ponds way or beyond the Port Jackson hinterlands.
