Agreed WYL . I suggest an acid party in the Botanical gardens dressed as characters from Alice in Wonderland . No ,seriously , It would be nice to have some fans gets together and decide on a course of action to take on the AfL over these cultural issue such as food ,music and advertising .It's no fun at the footy- you just get processed like a chook .

Rum'n'raisin or chocolate?

The Headline should've been...... Ron strikes out Bowling!

Seeya.

Further theft of what was once free .The quiet time between quarters now used to sell burgers and KFC and coke or Gambling .All these thing combine to lessen the whole experience . Advertisers dont pay for the game .WE pay to get in and they pay to [censored] crap to us .Therefore we should ban it .

I think it's time that fans were treated with respect by the AFl and clubs . It's about time a representative body of the paying public /viewers was formed to take on the AFL over issues like GWS fraudulence, the increasing corporatisation of the game, the rule changes, the woeful umpiring, the disgusting food /beer forced on fans, the ridiculous promotion of products throughout the game, the woeful entertainment on GF day, the ridiculous Etihad deal that is breaking some clubs every time they play there. Millions of dollars, from paying idiots like us, gets flushed away on half-wit schemes like GWS whilst established clubs, Melbourne, Swans, Saints, Dogs and Lions see success become harder to obtain or are forced to move/merge . Community football, local clubs, Auskick etc receive little benefit from the expansion of the AFL. In order to sell more burgers in West Sydney, the goodwill and history of our great club has been eroded and stolen for a fraudulent and artificial franchise. The TS saga aside, this would never have happened had the clubs/fans had a say. If the NSW AFL had put forward it's own proposal for a new team then fine. What I object to most is that the huge headless glutton we call a CORPORATION has stolen an organic culture and replaced it with culture LITE . Most people are too stupid or sated to notice but, as with cricket, this sort of crap will destroy the game. I suggest a symbolic protest during which the fans start bringing their own food and drink to games again and refuse the slop they sell at grounds. The individual players should have their salaries capped at half a million. Twice as much as the PM is more than enough . The argument will come back that kids will choose cricket or basketball over AFL if we cap the salaries. Cricket is already ruined by TV and corporatisation and basketball is broke. Fans of all clubs should rise up and make some simple demands for the benefit of a game we have founded and funded for generations. It's time we stopped the game being run by people who know the price of everything and the value of nothing .

Tapscott ,Frawley ,Garland Bennell, Watts,Grimes Gysberts Moloney Blease Petterd ,Clark ,Davey Jetta Howe Sylvia Jamar ,Trengove ,Jones Bate ,Rivers ,Jurrah ,Jordie Mckenzie ,Joel MAc ,Bail ,Max Gawn ,Green ,Nicho ,Strauss

I think hell be big enough .Tore Tarrant apart and mocked him in one match I saw of him .

I spent all last year defending Bate and now everyone want a piece of the Master . Cant believe anyone would consider dropping Watts. He is Best 5. I'm unable to justify Green in the team after last year . I can see Bennell ,Nicho ,Jetta improving .

Precisely ,oops .

We did all right by him and good luck to him . Hope he takes his next chance more seriously and stays off the turtle .

Got it it one .

I will be happy honest effort from the team rather then stand out stars like Judd or Ablett . We will have stars all over the ground if we contest properly. The best cards in our deck are a pair of Jacks ,maybe three .

What if the Bentleigh has a whole pile of unpaid bills stuffed in a draw like we did when we were at the junction .Then we're really screwed.

Could we get him by swapping a first rounder?

I really like the fact that he has singled out players publicly. There are no secrets and no favourites. Watts got a kicking for trying to hang out on TFS after 40 Games. Aaron has lost his hunger. Sylvia needs to decide if he is a tough guy on the field or off it ( or niether). Morton has a lifeline to clutch and Austin is gone because he simply wasn't a professional (no knock). Why say in a backroom what we all know. We have been beyond weak in our dealings with people .The truth will set you free. Name and shame the under-performers into repaying the faith placed in them.

Does he still have the mullett? Gary Ayres dumped his and won the flag .

I bet he swore he'd never return . Not for all the tea.....

We all will .

Right dude -we've waited about as long as any sane man could wait .Correction- Longer than any sane man could wait .

Steely eyes ,red hair , earnest manner, straight forward .Reminds me a little of Norm Smith .Lets hope he can do half as well as Norm .

Acid wash , patched ,faded , skinny. Denham is still Denham . The MFC is still the MFC , trying to improve . We are doing something right if fools like him spray us . Next year should be fun.

He just made a 100 and then complained about being dropped from the test team due to age and idiotic selection decisions . Same problem with Hodge-not able to kiss arses with the right technique .

The administration of Aussie cricket is shambolic .Sutherland and Hilditch weilding too much ego . Katich was undroppable and Clarke is Cronulla Bogan. Hope Kat make 1000 shield runs this season and laughs at them .

He will have his work cut out for himself . He has to get past Jamar ,Martin ,Gawn ,Clark and other strong talls just to get a run. i hope he gets a few games and keeps the pressure on .
