Fair enough feeling jaded from past experience. I reckon he'll stay and we'll be a better team for it. Found an old write-up from the Bendigo Pioneers page and thought it was worth a read 10 years on:

Disagree button.

Well I rated it so you can ead.

How good is being in two out of the ten highlights this week with the win to back it up?

I'm loving Toumpas. Love his energy, love his skills, love that he will do everything he can to be the best player he can.

Loving everything he does lately. That moment where he took a mark running back with the flight and then knocked Griffen flat was absolutely brilliant, definitely one of those hell yeah fist pumping moments. From watching the replay, he's starting to get some recognition from the commentators as well. Lot to like about Col.

So does Jonesy lose his interim captaincy title once Grimes is back in? Probs won't be brought up.

Who's in the ruck for Casey?

I don't read them because I find his writing style painful to read and over-emotional in content. Much prefer to get my fluff pieces from Ron Burgundy or pm24.

Doesn't matter, still gotta switch like for like. Same way you can't swap Spencer out for Toumpas.

Different roles man. Magner goes in hard and falls over, constantly. Whereas Nicholson and Rodan have the ability to run faster than Jeff Kennett swimming through peanut butter.

That's how I took it as well.

The key message this week, is 'competitiveness'.

They come here, they steal our jobs, they steal my jobs, livin in my houses. It's called Australia damn it, not foreignerland.

Have a look at his sprint through the middle at about the 2 minute mark of the VFL player review this week. Can't wait to see some of that at AFL level. http://www.melbournefc.com.au/news/2013-06-24/vfl-player-review-round-11

The collar's uncomfortable to play in, simple as that. New Balance is a cheap, poor man's sporting brand that I'll be happy to see the back of.

If we end up with Knights I may just sell my computer and throw my tv out the window. Will keep my membership on annual renewal and occasionally write letters to Paul Roos thanking him for the great work he's doing with our footy club.

Trade it for hookers! And crack!

Was just there for the visa. The crepe was a bonus, and pretty much the highlight of a very brief visit.

Best banana crepe I ever had was sitting in a cinema in Hong Kong with only me and an old guy smoking up the back and coughing occasionally watching a horror movie I understood none of in Cantonese. I still remember the creamy banananess of this crepe and the genuine smile of the woman who gave it to me. Bananas are truly the king of fruit.

Posts like these remind me why I like reading what you have to say. You're sensible, but really you're way too optimistic about our current situation. Don't think anyone would pick up Dunn, Sellar or Spencer even if we dropped them.

I think the tone was set from the outset of the second quarter when players had the opportunity to play on but went back behind the mark and were then forced to do exactly what Lingy was saying they had to avoid... simply bombing it long down the line to a contest. We'd gone into our shell and everything else was the same predictable crap. At least it shows that some of it comes down to belief, whether that'll come or not by trying to turn one quarter into two quarters etc... who knows. Baby steps seems to be the general approach by all concerned right now. Baby steps and rash decisions.

Valiant effort rpfc. Conversations like this remind me why I keep WYL blocked. Makes so little sense, it's almost scary.

Happy to see Toumpas in the team over Bail.
