Hogan, while he still has value.

Finals next year. Maybe a prelim. If i take acid,maybe a GF.

At least he isn't a Christian. We don't need them.

At least he does it from 13 ft above the ground. Jamar,bless him,is barely capable of 9 or 10.

He is class A. Speedy midfielder. Not afraid to show it.

I thought ANB and SOS were ok but they have surprised me already this year with their input. I think we under rate Riley. He deserves a full game. Would prefer to drop SOS over a consistent goal kicker in ANB.

Would be great to win and have a team that believes we can get to a prelim next year. We beat the tiges,the dogs and cats who are clearly pretenders if they drop games to us this year. Freo will wane,as will the Swans. West Coast and Hawthorn look like the flag contenders for the future years. I dont rate Port or Adelaidde. GWS will get close. But 2016 and 2017 will be fairly open.

Then you don't see the difference between 10 years of hell and 4 weeks of hope. The last time we were decent we had White and before that Stynes. max is the second best ruckman behind Goldstein in the comp.

Tanking is the wrong term. It implies we were a decent shot of winning anything. We cleaned house and rebuilt with average personnel.

Yes well we would need to bring the portuguese into the equation if we are to travel further east.Perhaps another 250 years. Better open another.

No he never got done for armed rob.

I am quite sympathetic to the Timorese Earl and I will let this one slide. I'm sure the billions we rob them for on the gas fields will cover it.

Seems to be switching with Tom Mac more lately.

We clearly had men back.Including Hogan. Gawn was still clunking vital marks at the end.

Pretty lucky we won then.

I hope that's not one of those fair trade coffee shops Earl. If there is one thing I don't like it's a fair trade. Where would enterprise be without exploitation?

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. But I'll admit it was the ugliest win we've had since Neeld was coach.

Let's just say it's all in the past now.

I'm a student of history Earl. Mostly specialising in The Vandals.

One thing that we have improved on is tackling. This was the difference today. In general skills we were crapola.

Am I to understand the Barbarians conquered the Byzantines?

As Frank Thring once remarked (and was quoted recently by WYL),after they removed the gaffer tape and ball gag-"What a weekend!" We had a reunion of St Kilda pimps to kick things off on Friday evening-canapes and bubbles followed by marvellous stories of years gone bye,and former employees,clients and legal run ins of course. Many of my former rivals have moved on to bigger and better things in the public sector,child protection and what not while I still ply an old fashioned trade in a dwindling Fitzroy street ,a shadow of her former glory ,much like myself. After canapés we sat down to speeches delivered by Long John,Shadow Man and The Chill. Wonderful raconteurs all with strong memories of our shenanigans,and despite missing many teeth ,they all spoke quite well and surprisingly ,though many of their staff are no longer with us,they look in robust,nearly rude good health .We retired to the Former Windsor hotel(in Windsor) for drinkies and I was engaged answering questions about how to manipulate the minds of the fairer sex till nearly dawn.First Class Saturday Night was not so brilliant and the shine was removed further by the throngs of newly emerged Euro soccer fans gathering in Richmond ,blocking my way to the All Nations where I was meeting colleagues to discuss price fixing,market control,and other business ideas. The food has slipped terribly there,but not nearly as badly as the clientele. There was a Blonde hosting some sort of unimportant milestone(first deep thought perhaps),who felt it necessary to scream at full lung as each of her guests arrived. Luckily,I was armed only with a butter knife and a roaring headache so she remained safe.Idid not make it to the galleries in Smith St as the drinks are getting more watery and cheap by the day.I put this down to the ever present Earl Hood schmoozing his way through the galleries. If any new bohemian tries to serve my cocktail in a pickle jar I take offence-some things are too important to tinker with. I ended the evening quite early ,was home at the Gat and into a good book (American Psycho) before too late and woke feeling refreshingly superior and haughty,with no remorse ,shame or care-much like the lady speaker of Parliament!

Fitzy has a face like a busted sandshoe. Jordie Mac looks a bit like Ginger Meggs after five years on crystal meth.

I understand you but I don't think half the taps Jamar got credited with were an advantage. The opponents get them just as easily but when a ruckman dominates like Max it really doe make it easier for the rovers. Max can actually just punch it forward as well like Strawbs o'dwer.

Hopefully just the tip of a larger sinkhole then DC. Start packing your cheap suits.
