Return to Glory

Your names not Wayne is it?

You are dead right. We are bad. We will get better. Not this year.

Couldn't listen today. Probably wrong but I turned the radio on and I heard that we were trailing by 40 points. Gave myself a rest from angst. Anybody show anything ?

Last nights match, besides the ugly episode at the end, convinced me that we are desperately short of blokes who can play a position then shift into the middle. Swans have eight genuine mids. I'm guessing that we don't.

My gut feeling is get Billings and/ or Aish. But it's based on small reports and youtube vid of an international series.

Who do you have in mind Hood?

I've got to say that I care about the Bullies. I don't give a rats ar#e about the expansion teams but they are a real team and not a GWS that is nothing more than a marketing idea. I find myself increasingly concerned about the smaller traditional clubs being left out to dry.

Billy Hartung? Anyone know about him beyond the article?

Yeah, sorry Demon Ox. Probably my way of not facing the current reality.

Is that you Uncle Monty?

I'd prefer the finest wines known to humanity

26, I'm thinking that we may be able to garnish additional assistance under some "they really are crap" arrangement that I've heard vague things about. Then again, are the Bulldogs eligible as well? I thought they were stitched up re Callum Ward compo. Someone here will know.

On that basis we don't have a team.

As we should have done for the last 5 years, lets do our due diligence right across the board, be completely certain....then pick the other bloke. It might be more successful.

An umpire that doesn't crucify us for being from out of town

AFL.com.au's top 20 draft prospects AFL news has listed 20 of the top draft prospects. Beyond Jack Billings I'm hoping some of you have insight into a couple.

Old dee, who are you kidding. Keep ya chin up.

I think the elite of the club haven't helped us much of late. Gauci may well fit the bill particularly in terms of his pulling power.

Steaming, I noticed that your favorite player was Ricky Jackson and I remembered playing against him in juniors so many years ago. Great talent who would have thrived in todays footy IMO. I know it's irrelevant to the thread but hey

Song, on a side note I'm still wanting to know how to add those ' moving images'

Or life membership at Rhino

Do you reckon? If we are looking at injecting more youth at the expense of experience then he is of great value.

Perhaps one of them could be in charge of pre game banners - 25 grand a banner.

Old dee, even as flat as I've been this year, I can't believe that things won't improve soon. I'm not in sales but would you not say to a company ' get in on the ground floor'. [censored], I was almost laughing as I said this. There's also that line from the very first National Lampoons Vacation where the car salesman says to Chevy (double meaning)'if you hate it now, wait till you drive it'.

I'm not sure old dee. Perhaps it's a CEO with the capacity and willingness to sell a story. To this extent I'm curious as to the abilities of Ron Gauci. And it will be interesting to see how Jackson fares. Beyond that, incriminating photos.
