A lot are taking this casually. I'm not, he's a huge out for us. If any of the other 3 went down I wouldn't be concerned, we can cover them. Not Jackson though...

Whenever I see Tom Browne I cringe...might be a nice bloke to his mates but comes across as a total DH... I'm sure there were 100's of other people in the club at the same time...maybe he should just name them all. Or maybe this is even better...Max Gawn wasn't seen at yo yo club on Saturday night, no suggestion he knows anything about the incident or did anything wrong.

No, Storm are staying at AAMI. Their junior development and women's teams are being based at Broadmeadows.

2 rising star nominations the last couple of weeks and sitting on top of the ladder. That's promising 'dazzle'...

Not me 'Jaded'...I didn't like them or go even back in the ????

Makes a few people who posted to drop him on the changes thread look a bit silly to say the least... Great first game back.

I didn't know Coxy is a Dee... He filled in with LRB for Derek Pellicci (original drummer) when he had an accident. David Briggs, the guitar player is another Demon.

Maybe for the players own good it's time to ban oil on the arms... You can see May's arm slip up on the oil. How often do we see an oiled up Selwood slip a tackle, he puts gallons of that stuff on before and during a game. For someone who doesn't have a rock hard scone like him it's dangerous letting the tackle slip up to the neck or higher. Duty of care may well see oil go, at least on the arms and shoulders.

It was May... I'm surprised he didn't get at least 4 weeks for that. I mean he got a week in preseason for looking at someone the wrong way.

Yes, but if I had the choice of winning the centre clearances or winning on the scoreboard I know which one I would prefer.

Disposal wasn't great but his defensive positioning is excellent... The Swans couldn't move the ball cleanly from defence & Angus plays a big role in that. Compare it to how North moved it in the first half of last week when Gus wasn't there & you might get the answer as to why he stays.

I'm happy we're moving up the ladder and not just for the obvious reason... If you watch the North Collingwood game...is that 17th v 18th? They must get the worst of the umpires. The standard of umpiring is appalling. To think that's what we had to put up with week in, week out. It's still bad, but touch wood, not that bad.

Cyril...4 x Premiership Player 3 x AA Norm Smith medal. An impressive career. If Kosie does that with us I will be more than happy...

They were good, but on the other hand the opposition looked poor. Fumbled from the first Q (Lynch started the rot) and panicked as the game went on. A long season and an ageing list for both these teams... It's going to be a war of attrition, could well be a Bradbury season. I hope we can keep a solid list on the park. If we do we're as good a chance as any.

I honestly don't think we've played our best footy yet. We're unbeaten but still a way's off sorting our best combination. ...not a bad position to be in.

They're really missing Grimes & Vlastuin is really lacking match practice...hard to come straight back in without any VFL time.

I like Kane...

Great band...bad timing. Grunged...

So who's the Demon in this lot?

Speaking of favourite live albums I think mine would be "Sinatra at the Sands with Count Basie & the Orchestra"...great tunes, singing, playing & arrangements by a young Quincy Jones. ...and on the topic of "Ya Yah's", my favourite version of the Stones is definitely the Mick & Keith guitar duo.. ...also, did Charlie screw up th strat on 'Little Queenie'? he's accenting 1 & 3 then switches over to 2 & 4 when the vocal kicks in. If anyone has an original pressing (I haven't heard this for years) I'm sure Mick say's in humour & making a point "Charlie's playing well tonight", this has been cut from later versions...

I would be interested in Maynard...don't think they would let him go but if you want you gotta give.

Robbo is sort of the Molly Meldrum of footy...

Tiges are paying Marti a s...load, Jack's not on peanuts & they still landed Lynch plus have Cotch & Prestia on good deals. I think Merrett is a good chance to be in the red & blue

I can remember 2 instances of this playing local footy. One year we were undefeated on top of the ladder after the first half of the season then couldn't buy a win agains the same teams in the 2nd half and dropped out of the final 4. The other one we were comfortable in the 4 and cruising, one of my mates took off on holidays about 4 or 5 weeks before the finals and was due back to play when we made it. He turned up on the Tuesday before with his gear ready to get stripped and train, walked into the rooms and we were all sitting around having a beer. He couldn't believe that we'd dropped out. ...so nothing is a given. I'm comfortable with where we sit but take nothing for granted.

Could maybe argue the medium impact angle...as Powell played on. ...but probably just get on with it. It wasn't a good look.
