  1. ...Brad Miller? Ten goals? Hope you're talking about a season tally there
  2. And to think the first time I actually bought a membership was 2010. After all this. (blame my father, I didn't have much of a disposable income til then)
  3. Well Platten's illegitimate son is eligible for Hawthorn...
  4. Problem solving.
  5. We'll get a plum draw in 2013 I'll bet as a result. Home games against the likes of Carlton and Essendon.
  6. Looking for a forward - I had to draft both bloody Nicoski and Embley
  7. I'll ring the shop tomorrow, find out if they will have iron-overs available. If not, black duct-tape for me.
  8. His revenue streams *were* from those companies which made deals with him to advertise their power rates through the EnergyWatch comparison service. They did not compare all companies, and thus part of EnergyWatch's appeal - and thus, its appeal to those power companies making deals with Polis - was its high public profile through its sponsorships and heavy advertising campaigns. Now that its public perception has gone to [censored], I expect that the company will go bust shortly.
  9. Can I ask what was on the back of the jumpers? Haven't watched any match vision
  10. Only a team with a pick above us can force us to use it. If we had pick 1, we would not have to use it on JV. The teams bid on the particular player. The club must then take the player with the next available pick or elect to give the player up. If they give it up, the club that bid higher is obligated to take them IIRC (don't think it's happened yet though)
  11. Well, we need to kick the ball - that round, oval thing - through our set of big sticks more than Richmond.
  12. Well...I was hoping we'd get closer to Round 23 before thinking about this...but. Out of Contract/Free Agents (MFC): Moloney (Restricted) Bate Dunn Green Jamar Rivers Of the above, right now I don't see Dunn and Green getting new deals. Riv hasn't been bad, Jamar is needed until Gawn comes through, Bate is ripping it up as a sub and Moloney will be considered needed unless someone actually comes in with an offer. That said, I wouldn't be surprised to see Beamer get an offer and possibly leave - wouldn't be surprised if GWS had a restricted crack at him considering draft concessions and a need for bodies (Cornes and Power only in for 1 year). Other players up for going: Evans Joel MacDonald Spencer Lawrence Evans injured indefinitely, unfortunate. Joel Mac not good enough. Spencer not good enough. Lawrence not good enough. Those on the chopping block: Davey Morton Bennell Jetta Davey seems to have lost it. Morton just soft. Bennell not good enough seemingly. Jetta keeps getting injured unluckily. So with this...we'd possibly look at eight to ten players moving on. The 2012 Draft First Round Pick After First Round Pick Compo Mid First Round Pick Compo Second Round Pick Third Round Pick Fourth Round Pick Fifth Round Pick (Rookie promotion) Viney will be the first or second round pick depending on how low on the ladder we are. Rookies Three rookie picks minimum to be used 2013 List With this, Green departs. Jamar moves to vets list thus still giving us one promotion slot which will probably be used for Couch. Magner will get onto the main list on current form. I see Neeld aiming to turn over 8-10 and bringing in heavily from both the draft and making a move in the trade period for a quality mid.
  13. "The problem with quotes on the Internet is you have no idea if they're real or not." - Abraham Lincoln
  14. UF confirmed for more important than proper footy now
  15. Only been there a year, he probably has a 2-3 year deal. Neeld lucked out that West was OOC and he could shift Mahoney.
  16. IN: My drinking habits OUT: My 2012 hopes
  17. MFC is the opposite of AA - it drags me to drink. Repeatedly. And I didn't watch or listen. I have a bar tab and a bourbon in hand. Thank Christ.
  18. Might not have mattered, Cox is my captain. That said, still a man down. I've got Breust, Hunt and Ray on extended benches so I'm waiting on those...
  19. http://www.bigfootynews.com/2012/04/the-slightly-burnt-smell-reeking-from-afl-house/ - my thoughts, just posting them through BFN to get a portfolio going
  20. Honestly? I'd probably take a week off work and just stay celebratory drunk.
  21. For the moment, black duct tape will do for mine. I'm going to the club once a new sponsor is sorted and see if they can maybe sort out an iron-on to go over the top. A similar thing was done for Newcastle in the Premier League - sponsor changed mid-season, and the club provided a cover-over with the new sponsor for those supporters who wanted to go and grab one. You just had to present your season shirt with the old sponsor at the club shop. Wouldn't be overly expensive (I doubt they've sold huge numbers of jumpers to this point) and gets EW off it. Either way I'm holding onto it. It's my #11 Reach jumper. I do give a toss about the EnergyWatch on the back, but ultimately in a year they'll be out of business. However, Reach and Jim will be forever in our memories. That's why I bought the jumper and I'll be sure as hell keeping it.
  22. Why not replace the EW logo with the Royal Children's Hospital Good Friday Appeal banner on the Melbourne jumpers for the weekend? Nothing too flash, just print up a bunch of iron-ons.
  23. Is it due diligence looking at the private Facebook of a senior member of a company? Personnel at the top can rotate regardless. I'm still unsure on this one, there's a line between due diligence and being over the top. Ultimately, everyone has flaws.
  24. Screenshots off AW trace right back to early 2010. Not recent.
