Pink Freud

Just listening in to SEN when a caller by the name of Chris from Camberwell rang with three points to make:- 1. Melbourne needs a key forward and should go after McCarthy from GWS by offering its first round pick. 2. Melbourne should be claiming Darcy Parish as father/son because his father Les Parish played more than 100 games for us. 3. Melbourne should claim Andy Lovell's son under the father/son rule as he's a gun. I don't have a problem with the first point although McCarthy wants to go back home to WA to play for Freo. On the second, Darcy isn't Les' son and in any event, Les only played 7 games for us so he's not eligible to go father/son. On the third, Kieren Lovell who is the player referred to, isn't Andy's son either. I did however, love the bloke's passion, even if he is a bit misguided. Anyone know him?

It's easy to see why he was picked for Friday night's game. He has a wealth of knowledge about the way Geelong plays and could be our secret weapon. I'm predicting 5 goals from him and a Demon upset.

Much of that will depend on how Billy goes and how well we do during the coming season. If he blitzes for SA and we improve and move up the ladder, the chances are that we will have to select him with our first pick.

What's happened to Victoria? Is there trouble in the camp, are they just no good or both?

Unfortunately not. Hamstring.

It's going to be an anti-climax once they've done the draft. What do we count down to after that?

Was anybody vital missing from the GHS Giants team that caused them to suffer such a horrible flogging at the weekend?

The problem is that due to the misfortunes over at 'ology we've inherited some more sophisticated mature posters here and this thread is simply a downright embarrassment. Perhaps it should just be called "The BS Thread"?

Aussies won their semi in a nailbiter by 4 runs and play India who thrashed the Poms in the final tomorrow.

Surely that record is held by West Coast and not us?

I agree with Redleg. It's not so much the game up there that's the problem but rather, that the recovery takes so long. How often does a team follow up a game in Darwin or Cairns with a win?

You mean they look a bit like the father of a former Melbourne player who has a highly paid job with another club doing nothing.

Have no fear. Your dreams are normal for this time of year. But if you start having dreams about Phat Phil then call my nurse for an emergency consultation.

It might harden up some of the players though.
