I actually thought that was a good kick, his teammate was caught behind 2 opponents and Kozzie cleverly spooned over the top into space more to his advantage where he could and did run on to it. If he had of hit it flat it would have gone to an opponent in front. Smart thinking...

This might tell the story... If it was a total fabrication then I would think they might be a bit more than mildly angry... They're are a weird mob at Freo.

I think Rivers will be the steal of this draft...questions will be asked how he got through to pick 32. Is that a big enough lid...

In the past I would have agreed with Cornes but you know what. It's time we came out and had a red hot go and put it all on the table. We really don't risk being a laughing stock as many already think we are. I agree with you 'Dee'...make a statement and back it up. I reckon we're good enough...

The romantic in me would love to see Jesse back at Melbourne, clean up his act with help from his mates here and play a big part in our success. ...

I try to avoid them 'Bob'

I grew up in that era too 'Bob', but we don't live there now. It shouldn't be too much to expect some decent pix at least. We are spoiled with the quality 'Six6Six' posts but in reality the club should be able to post similar from the camp. Is it too much to ask?

If we're talking Smith here 'bin', I think we're in trouble if he plays most games. Like Frost I think the athleticism he offers is often undone by poor decision making.

Brad Hardy is looking pretty silly now...always...

I don't think Carlton should open the season, they've done nothing to deserve the honour.

Aren't you in I.T 'Nasher'?

This has the Hardie logic about it. The only reason we wouldn't sign Bennell is if he can't get on the track... Port have so much money they had to rattle the tin to keep on the park. Can just see them shelling out for a player that can't get on the track and doesn't ever look like it (if we weren't to sign him)... ...but I guess stranger things have happened.

From the original post which has been proved correct...soreness might be an understatement.

Sad I know, but every time I open up Demonland it's something I hope not to see. Not today unfortunately...

Interesting you mention Charlie and the Divinyls. Jerome Smith, who 'Biffen' mentioned...took over the touring bass role with Keiths band the x-pensive winos... Jerome came here to play with the Divinyls in the early '90's around the same time Charlie joined the band. He still lives in Melbourne... Back to the footy...

Good "Words"...

Toured with Wino's...don't think he did the records. ...and he's still around '@Biffen', ran into him recently.

What a load of rubbish... He did his ACL at training, nothing to do with basketball. He's not responding to chatter, he was not a plodder... He had a good year last year and we expect he will build on it this year. He's a kid now man who has not been happy with his own game to date, he reckons he can play better footy and he's taken the initiative to make it happen. I don't know where you're getting all this responding to chatter, much needed push. He's a proud kid, now man and he wants to do better.

Just noticed you wrote Eddie, I thought it was Eade when I read it before. I guess that was wishful thinking, it would have made interesting viewing. Dumb down Eddie, not so interesting...in fact not interesting at all.

That's the one they should get. Lyon, Ross

They need an ex coach who hasn't checked out to take the position if they are serious...can't be just an ex players view as they don't have the whole picture. Wallace would be my first choice but I think he's headed towards retirement. Please not Nick...

So, who were all these outside player/finishers we were chasing. Since Goodwin has been in charge we've gone after Lever & May...and landed them. This year we went after Langdon and landed him. We had a dip at Elliot and missed, we picked up Tomlinson. None of these are outside player/finisher types. Langdon & Tomlinson give us some outside run no doubt but they are both, particularly Langdon very hard contested players as well. Then if we look at this years draft all 3 are hard at it competitive players.... The coach doesn't like purely outside players, I'm with him there.

'Mach' isn't a grenade thrower 'Pennant' and his info is generally pretty good. I would take some notice of what he is saying in this instance...maybe the source has an axe to grind, this must always be considered in these things but the messenger is ok.

So if you don't think he has the ability to succeed why would any full time recruiting/list manager at another club part with picks that will get us back into the first round of this years draft... ...not a cheap shot, it just doesn't add up.

You can see it this pic. Dunkley looks like he's just spotted a white pointer and he's done, meanwhile his teammate (is that Bedford?) is looking on like he's a gonna...
