What they're saying . . .
Meanwhile . . . over at the Crow's supporter site: Everyone has down weeks.josh Jenkins has one every week?I'm at the stage where I can only laugh at his selection each week. Potential doesn't win premierships Injuries are one thing but still it was 22 vs 22 there was no heart there whatsoever absolutely disgusting performance we should worry less about posting levers stats and which draft pick we are gonna get from Melbourne (re early this year) and worry about our own team Unfortunately into the first 4 minutes of the game you knew they would be thrashed. Looked like they hadn't slept all night and came out as if they weren't even trying. Just like the Grand Final. Very lethargic xx. Can't say it wasn't unexpected... end of day Melbourne are finally a seriously good footy side. We are average...clearly making up the numbers this year. If we were going to lose a game glad it was Melbourne love there coach Goodwin he was one of our own early days long way to go we will come back bad day at the office we all have them Make them [censored] walk home. No [censored] pride in this club any more. Looked like a training drill for Melbourne. Not a good day, I can't see Sloane and lynch staying either. I reckon their gone I shake my head every time I see Jenkins efforts The useless coach who had no Plan B and decided to just STARE at the players...?? Like Pykey, they can't read your mind mate. Nothing like dropping from 4th to 7th and losing almost 16% dishing up that ? It's 3 poor games. We need more Victorians. Playing with a B grade side and Melbourne had it's A side. Move on. Might as well support Melbourne enough of our players are with then Lever was the big winner today I have said all along that Pyke is a “B” grade version of Neil Craig. Doesn’t help that we have our reserves playing against a full strength Melbourne team. On the upside, looks like the stare is back in vogue. On ya Pykey, inspiring stuff. Premiership pretenders again Maybe a [censored] play on our behalf but [censored] the umpires are playing for Melbourne today.

Pretty close to the dumbest footballer going around.

Casey Demons v Box Hill Hawks - Round 6
RPC (Royal Parade Cheaters) turned him into a better footballer post Demons. Surrounded him with better players therefore limiting his deficiencies whilst maximising his strengths.

Joel Wilkinson legal action - racism & sexual harassment
FWIW . . . the data tells us that the average time between severe abuse (e.g. sexual abuse) taking place and being reported is approximately 40 years. Severe abuse usually causes shame and guilt - even though the abused is in no way to blame for the abuse. However, deep feelings of shame, for example, debilitate people's lives to the point where they live in fear and experience horrible anxiety and low self-esteem. This often results in, among other things, an inability to discuss and disclose the abuse - and in some cases ends in suicide. Like others, I know only what has been reported of the Wilkinson matter. If it comes to pass that his case is substantiated, I really hope that the full force of the law is bought to bear on the abusers and their supporters.

Leigh Fisher (ex Saint) is one of the umpires for the St Kilda game. Should this be a worry?
The last umpire to look after us was Beitzel in '55. Harry himself said that had he umpired us in '58, he would not have let Weidemen go around thumping our blokes. There was acrimony between Weideman and Beitzel thereafter. But Beitzel had the last laugh in '76 when Weideman coached the Filth to the wooden spoon and came off the long run on radio, television and newspapers. Fixed him right up. When Punt Road sacked Hafey in '76, Beitzel rang the Filth and said "Tommy's the guy for you". Weideman was subsequently sacked and Hafey installed as coach of the Filth. Weid never forgave the Big H.

Leigh Fisher (ex Saint) is one of the umpires for the St Kilda game. Should this be a worry?
Extremely stupid question Bobby Mac. Of course we should be worried! I'm worried every week. I've been worried for 54 years about the umpiring. Glenn James, Mike (?) Dellar, Darren Goldspink, Gavin Dore, John Russo, Rowan Sawers, Ian Robinson, Neville Nash, Kevin Smith. They all used to crucify us. I'm sure there were more. And of course that bloody Nichols gets stuck into us these days. Neita and Jacka were only paid half the free kicks due to them whilst that bloody 24 up at Sydney was the original MC Hammer (can't tough this). Very, very bad state of affairs I'm afraid Bobby.
