"We want you to play in the "Centre" Colin , you've got one last chance to become an elite player and it's this year. You should be a top 25 player in the AFL but you're not even in the top 100 . And from now on use Taxi's whenever possible ".

Anybody else watching the Manchester derby ? ( no spoilers from me ! )

Sorry , my link didn't work - ah well , you blokes and ladies know where the little paper is .

Yeah , money talks and it will take a fair bit of coin to get Mick but ya never know . Anything to take the spotlight away from our team will do - we need to win games more regularly to shut people up ( oh , and steer clear of power poles )

Thanks for that "BLWNBA" re the speed needed to knock a power pole down - I thought it might have needed some real speed - good point . Ninemsn's news release sheds a bit more light - tried to do the link - didn't work

How fast does a BMW X5 need to be going to knock down a power pole ? Lucky to be alive by the sounds of it . Don't the player's get taxi vouchers ? Regardless - just get a cab anyway .

13cabs !

It was the Cats in 2010 and the Hawks last year - same scenario really - we weren't good enough to beat either team regardless of the Darwin fixture .. We've got bigger fish to fry anyway - start playng as a team , adhering to the fundamentals of the game and no more bruise free stuff . I'm confident that Neeld and his crew will succeed .

Well there's the answer then to the "After Darwin Game" We haven't beaten the Hawks since 2006 (?) and of late aren't even in their league as a team ( soon to change ! )

Congatulations to all concerned

Go Demons !

Do I detect a bit of manlove Yoda ?

Ha ha ha ! And I'm not being sarcastic !

http://news.google.com/newspapers?id=sU9VAAAAIBAJ&sjid=rJQDAAAAIBAJ&pg=2497%2C4525837 More random stuff ! "This Sporting Life" from a 1983 News archive ( The Age ) Demons in the news and Wells nearly came back - The Barassi letter is a classic - how times have changed !

Thought Yoda's line was quite funny - I kinda walked into it though I did leave a gap for him - and he took it !

Good post re the contemporary look - i'd have a slightly different line-up but that's by the by . Also , maybe our pick 36 in the draft ends up playing in the forward line all year - some 18yo's are ready to go - ya never know ! Jurrah and/or Watts could be really damaging further up the ground but I'm happy with your 6 .

What , no room for Ray Carr or Russell Colcott ?! Cmon man !

Not really Striker ! Though I'd have Big Bob Johnson in for Jurrah and probably Andy Moir in for Davey !

Opportunist !

Don't worry Bobby Mac - there's a lot that feel the same way as you and I ( Re Cam Bruce ! ) They're just steering clear of this thread - hiding to nothing material , Reckon some here are just pure opportunists - ya know , the stronger suit bit . Cheers .

You'll no doubt know about this one "Wyl" but for others - "Burn After Reading" ( Another Coen Bros ) - found it funnier the 2nd time around !

If the Tigers aren't pushing for finals next year or in fact make it , the spotlight will go to them With their reputation ( right or wrong ) for sacking coaches they could get themselves into a no-win situation . And then there is the Malthouse factor ( though I doubt he'll coach again ) And we'll be happily chuggng along racking up those wins !!

If Davey bounces back next season , we all win - C'mon Aaron - lift ya game !

Bedazzled is brilliant and Strangelove is an all time classic - I'll no doubt find the other 2 - Ta !
