That is a fairly pessimistic prediction Benno .Rough weekend?

Timmy Watson .

The man had a rugged handsomeness let's say . Very rugged

Not the best decision ever to cut Jnr . Bailey was a battler but yoof is yoof .

Hird is a good comparison to Watts . Still pretty handy without crushing bodies and smashing apart packs .

Travis Cloke will be a fine replacement for him .

He has good tattoos-which is a sign of his enormous ability .

An unusually succinct yet demostratively brilliant summmation of the topic at hand ye nom de plume of that which shall never be played on my stereo .

Does this mean the good Doctor has only recently gained his Degree? Was he formerly Yze Magic?

I remember Collingwood actually spruiking the virtues of Neeld before we signed him .Now they cry and whinge after the fact which is just typical Filth . Anyway ,tough [censored] to them .

Dear Jim , Well done on a brief but inspirational life . Hope you and Sean are taking it easy up there . You were all quality . The world is a better place because of you . Slancha.

Agreed . Why the negative vibes around here I do not know . Sixth is my slightly pessimistic prediction .

Name Names Who wont commit to a prediction?

In response to HG , I personally love Tassy and every time I go I vow to move there one day .It must be very difficult to make a living there though as unemployment is so high ,education limited and mines ,logging ,fishing etc facing more regulation .The "Grey Dollar" may be a blessing for Tassy except I fear that the oldies who move there may be tight asses . Anyway ,Tassy will develop in some unexpected ways .I think many artists and musicians are moving there . Big town jokes or put downs about Tas are silly .I'm jealous of what they have .Plus we got your brother ,Howe ,and greeny from there .Thanks Tassy .

Shouldn't it be DR.WTF?

Not really salivating at those options .I think the rebuild is nearly done .Time to focus on improving our team play and individual weaknesses .A bit of success and the desire to win every game will come along soon .

He may as well be playing for the Ringwood 3rds because it wont affect us .Losing Scully was a necessary part of our march to inevitable Domination and constant victory .

He has plenty of football ahead of him .I'd like him in my best 22 .Injuries are part of footy .Don't write the kid off yet .He has barely started .

The job takes a few skills in being able to spot and lure talent . Luring could be the hard bit if we continue to play weakly. A big fat gut and a lying son are a bonus .

Can't believe it .Balls in a pink shirt .Is nothing sacred?

So Pigs ,dogs and Rats count?

We got belted in 2011 because we had a stupid coach and a traitor in our midst-and no clear plan . This year is different .

I'm tired of hearing all this crap about our mids . Jack Trengove (Captain) Brent Moloney (B+F) Most clearances in the league Mark Jamar (AA ruckman) Nathan Jones ( improving each year) The two Jordies Good Times (Captain on the rare occasions he isn't injured) Bates-rated more highly by other clubs than our own . What more do you sad sacks want . I expect us to win more games than we lose .I think we will play 4 quarters rather than two . We are fitter ,we have a key target up front . We have a plan and a new coach . We have the best talent in the land. We just need a streak to build some confidence and then ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE . Nay-sayers abound on this forum ,which is fine as there has been much suffering . Remember-this is sport .Fairytales can and do happen all the time . I believe we can get into the finals and win one or two . SIXTH

We dont need him either . We cant have everyone

Sink or Swim theory was good for us .They will learn to swim . The "too young" excuse is over now.
