Yes -- it slipped under Redleg's guard !

Ain't that the truth !!

It would seem , from previous posts on this thread , that we HAVE received the best possible compensation under current rules . His comment [ in the singular ] about Melbourne was " ... this is not Melbourne where you can just come in and steal players . " If you take his comment as "spot on " then , Rumpole , are you suggesting that Collingwood has some ability to flout the rules that the AFL has made to create GWS ? Do you really believe the MFC sat silently ? Just because McGuire is in the media , and can spout what he wants when he wants to does not mean we are sitting twiddling our thumbs . I would say the events of the last 2 months should be enough to show that we are being very active to ensure an improved future for the Club . That that future does not involve Scully is a bonus as far as I am concerned .

"..... this is not Melbourne where you can just walk in and steal the players . " It wouldn't have mattered whether Scully was at Melbourne, or Collingwood , or wherever . GWS targeted him and had the rules and the AFL to back them up . Yes , I know there are major questions about following the rules faithfully, but the AFL wanted this to happen . McGuire is using the technique of speaking offensively about the MFC to say "WE are much better than THEY are ! " , and so ,try to elevate his own perceived status and power base, but the truth is , he would not have had the power to stop it unless he could match the offer financially .

Judd was a Demon growing up , which did us a lot of good when the dollars called.

Congrats old dee on having post no 1111 in this 11th month of the year 11

Thanks s-t-i-n-g-a , I hadn't actually seen the whole of this . Q. " So how do you resist that kind of money ? " Tom " Well it all goes back to your values........." Hmmm ..... He actually said it himself. Enough said .

WHAT??? She wasn't signed up on day one? Hope you've taken the photo in the beenie and scarf ! Congratulations Dee !

Sorry again , I stand corrected .

Sorry. I didn't further specify because we were talking about a football club . So --- "oldest professional football club in the world "

Yes, Glenferrie Oval

Oldest club in the World

Heard a passing reference to Boardwalk Empire on RRR today . Anyone have info about it or where it can be accessed?

Yes , but you are not CS , and I suspect that such words wouldn't be able to cause a spark , much less light a fire , in Colin's gut . They would be like [CLICHE ALERT ] water off a duck's back.

All the very best , Aussie . Very sad to see you go , but I hope you find peace and happiness in the future .

Which kid would that be ?

Rumour at the Coach's lunch was that Newton has been delisted , but haven't seen anything to confirm it

Couldn't agree more

Thanks, rpfc

BTW, I tried several times to quote from the OP , but it refused to post , with an error : " The number of opening quote tags does not equal the number of closing quote tags " What did I do wrong, please ?

Better than Kings bearing gold, myrrh and frankincense to the lowly abode

It was not unknown for Jim Cardwell The Great to sleep in his car when he was on the hunt. Great stuff.

" Tom " himself has already ensured that this cliche will never appear on Demonland again except in a thread such as this
