The Third Eye

How many days to the 2014 national draft Redleg?

Saw Foxtel Sports News last night had an item on GWS training and it was claimed that the usual suspect was training the house down. Reinforces the rumour I heard that a certain knee injury was embellished and played up as somewhat worse than it really was a few years ago to make it easier for a change of clubs at the end of the season.

Good to see discussion here is now back to matters of great importance to the world at large, like banana sculpture and not trivial stuff like footy and cricket.

Warner, Smith and Bailey have all been released to play BBL at the weekend. Should we be comfortable with this in the middle of a series when they should be focussing on the next test?

Didn't matter much did it? We've got these blokes by the bananas.

Not such a happy moment for the punters who took your advice and are still waiting for Serengeti Miss to arrive at the finish line.

Have to disagree.Geelong had 31 scoring shots to 20 and 65 inside 50's to 39. The Cats missed a few easy ones too while Port's last two goals came out of their backsides. Had Geelong kicked straighter, it could easily have been a blowout. Kudos to Port for their great season but I suspect that clubs will now start working them out. Their entry into the forward 50 is often very wide and hence, their inaccuracy.

I'm guessing here but would I be right in saying that LA Vuelta is the team that represents Los Angeles in the Lingerie Football League?

Not enough credit given to Mark Neeld for engineering such a dramatic turn around in form after the cataclysm that was 186.

Bump.

Big night for the Demons. Essendon's big win against GWS means we automatically move up one place on the 2013 NAB Cup ladder. Onward and upward Dees!!!

Gilbee? Must have been drinking gin and tonics.

Don't be deterred by the naysayers. Keep up the good work for the cause lads!

This is perfect for our requirements on a day when the price of bananas is relatively low and all is well with the world on grand final day - Hutzler Banana Slicer

Demetriou should call an investigation.

Very poor coaching effort by Ross Lyon tonight. Thankfully, Garry Lyon had the insight not to follow him up after being told by his management that he was still hoping to finalise a deal with the Saints.

As distinct from all of the other public relations nightmares experienced by them in their brief existence to date. I can't see the matter proceeding beyond a MRP ruling that the level of force applied in each case was not considered sufficient to justify a sanction.

There's a jokes please thread for posts like that one!

WJ. Time for the next installment of Charcoal and Orange?

Sir Les - now there's a true Aussie battler if there ever was one. I wonder if he ever win his battle with alcohol?

Folks ... I think this thread is going to peter out unless we find a new angle. Who do we have on our list to fulfil the role that the unmentionable one was set for before he jumped ship?

Well, it's all come down to this - Rate cut hopes go bananas

Laugh as much as you like but the fellow's a recruiting genius worth his weight in ... well, worth his weight. The story goes that he was given a recruiting assignment to get whatever he prefers and he came back with the signatures Shaun McKernan, Hamish McIntosh and Eric Makenzie, all players over 195cm. When asked why he chased after these blokes, he said it was because he prefers Big Macs.
