Geez! The missus has already paid up front for me. She wants another night out with the girls but not at the "G" So I may see a few D'Landers there. Who sets the tables or is just pot luck?

I received an email Last night. Have we had one before? MCC Dining Room. 3 course meal and top shelf beverages $250 all incl. Lounge suit is the dress attire. Who goes to these functions?

Burgs interview with Salem, said it was going to be a light week this week leading up to the First NAB match against Freo.

Show cause notices are there for the players to show cause why they shouldn't be charged. Have any shown cause? I doubt it.

We only have about 14 years to wait.I don't know about you chook. There's an even money chance I'll be 6 foot under by then.

Lions v Christian Another win for Lions Rich has recovered from his ACL I may have to swap the Petracca with Rich.

YesI suspect he will replace Trenners. If he does get upgraded he will get in.

MFC stands for. My effing Club!

When they are found guilty and the massive bans are in place.I am sure that the AFL will also ban them from taking part in the draft for 2 years. If they did that to Adelaide for Salary Cap breaching, what will they do to the Essendrugs for trying to cheat the system.?

Clark did the Lisfranc not Navicular.I may be wrong but didn't Matthew Richardson have a Navicular injury. One of a few to make a comeback. Let's not also forget Melbourne was on the front foot to trade him 4 months ago. It wasn't D'Land who was trading him.

Bailey would have spent most of his time in the vault. A lovely clean portable away from the asbestos or any other post ww2 materials that weren't required to have testing.

Isn't that called Tanking when you substitute players with inferior players.It just goes from bad to worse.

I did it last year. It cost me cheap bottle of Red. I probably will go again. It may cost me a half doz. ( I wish)

We must be feared! Smashing the opposition will get us a long way to achieving that position.

[Agree with one not the other. Watts has been given enough chances to own a spot in the 22 and hasn't grabbed the chances with both hands. Toumpas has not had a preseason except for this one. This time he has grabbed the chance, I see him being an integral part of the team.

They should be drummed out of the comp. A effing disgrace to all sporting clubs. The club cheated don't worry about the players at this stage. Who introduced these drugs into the FD. The disease starts at the head and then consumes everything and anything in it's way. The players, then their families, supporters,it then spread it's tentacles to the rest of the comp. It hasn't spared anyone. (Except the legal profession - the Lonsdale street Teflon group) You may think I hate the karmichaels. I think you are spot on.

Based on pre season so far. You cannot pick Garland, Riley, Watts & Vince. They didn't have any contact work. Howe seems Ok he put in a great pre Xmas. If he gets over his hammy soon he is still in consideration.

One would say that Billy is just trying to take the P155 out of anyone that responded. He won.

My hand is in the air Sir!

A bird in the hand is always better than two in the bush.

It's in your jeans or is that Genes.?

FB. Jetta. Frost Grimes HB. Dunn. T. McDonald Toumpas MF. Lumumba Jones Newton. HF. Howe Dawes Petracca FF. Garlett. Hogan Gawn Ruck. Jamar Tyson Viney. I/C Brayshaw Salem JKH sub Vandenberg Go for it. It's not meant to be best 22 just those that have completed The most consistent per season form.

All of the current best 22 posts or best for Round 1. All have loves and hates of last years players irrespective whether the new players deserve more cred Let's not put a pre arranged bias on our fav. Players. Just form warrants selection.

Forget Watts! He hasn't done enough work.

Just when we get rid of debt caused by too much salary at the top. We entertain spending more money to load up the debt. They just never learn. Bartlett is starting to sound like a PM.
