  1. Bit like the 6000 year old culture trip at the end of 2010.Not sterile enough for him. No junk food for his dad.
  2. The players we have ARE fools remember?Remember 186 and the roller-coaster of Baileys all out attack plan? The Bailey style meant we would get hammered if we didn't get first use of the ball. Tackling ,chasing , shepherding and close marking were optional then. Now the basics are mandatory and the players have lost the ability to create play because the first thought is about manning up . The differences will come as come a we start winning 8+ one on one contests around the ground. Clark and Frawley , Jones and Howe are about the only contests of the 18 on the ground that we are winning .
  3. To be fair I think he has the right to get his market value and reward like any other pro .He is a good clubman and probably deserves a bit more love from the fans as he is one himself .He's not perfect either but he is definitely trying .
  4. They're all class.
  5. Any regrets on letting Cam Bruce go?
  6. What a shame our "supporters" blame the draft and blame the wrong guys .Petterd can play-he has proved it.
  7. Last nights game was one of the ugliest games ever played in wet or dry . I really cant see to many victories this year . Is there any point in having a runner that cant kick? Bail , Morton and Bennell were useless or worse. Meanwhile Watts and Jurrah are in the 2's. I'm having a break-time to go skiing .
  8. Inspirational Wallsy!
  9. We need a montage.
  10. Before my time but I've seen the footage and he had a good style .
  11. Peter McKenna always had the perfect face for radio.
  12. Your experience of being a Demon is so different to mine (Born in 72) . AT Waverley for the Stynes /Bucky game. At the G for the 88 slaughter .Perfect seats.
  13. Where do you think Dean Bailey got his strategy on defensive play from?
  14. James Brown really invented funk and probably disco.It's unfair to compare the 2 yet . Jack Watts doesn't even have an album out .
  15. Not quite-but you are right that he will finish early . That's because he plays 1.4 games per game.
  16. We could prepare a letter for the AFL by way of explanation as how we came to acquire young Jack . I've taken the liberty of making a rough draft as follows: Dear Andrew and Mignons , Go F.ck Yourselves with a pineapple. We got JV the good old honest way. (We cheated everyone else out of it) To Clarify our understanding of the rules re Tom Scully ,Chris Judd ,Gary Ablett Jnr, Bryce Gibbs et al etc etc.. We took our future directive of such drafting procedure to mean ,as previously permitted to be : Section 165b3 partXI . "That in the case of a very good or potentially very good player (possibly no 1) in the draft the special rule of the modern AFL rules committee shall apply: "The rules are there aren't no rules" Unless otherwise decided by the rules committee . F.CK you all again . MFC .
  17. That's the perceived problem with Jack Watts in a nutshell.Nobody will let him play his own game because they all think he could be anything. Eventually ,he will be a 250 plus game player and hopefully ,a very successful one. He will be a forward one day but currently he can play "anywhere on the park" so that's how he's been used. We haven't exactly had the luxury of plopping him in the forward pocket for a few hangers and goals.
  18. A peanut in the hand is worth a handful of peanuts in the draft . Beamer kept this club on the park last year. To betray either of these guys as they are peaking in their careers would sh!t me to tears. I just cant go through seeing guys in their teens to early twenties again. Pay them what they are worth in the market and hope they are over their crap and let the coach have some decent bloody players instead of trying to pluck it out of high schools . FFS-lets not [censored] about their boozy nights in the past . Clean Slate and all that. Thing is they can both play. Other thing is they are nearing their peak .
  19. I think those types of thing prolong careers . Unfinished business and all that .
  20. Rioli-Davies Mitchell-Magner(hard tag) Buddy-Garland Hodge-McKenzie
  21. (edit add an s as appropriate)
  22. What was the story with the tennis player from Sydney. Anyone?
  23. After 12 years on the fringes of AFL obscurity .
  24. As I understand it-even if you are suspended for the Wonthaggi 3rds ,you cannot play whilst suspended for anyone anywhere .
  25. Well earned breather KC-especially after last weeks busy game.
