Re my previous. oooppps. All you say is good. Although a walk from Richmond station to OUR club rooms ain't that hard Still looking forward to the ongoing discussion. May have jumped in a little early

I would have thought good engineering and design could enhance the view and amenity of the station while covering the tracks. Interesting to see how this goes. I'm a supporter

Hey wrecker that's definitely a worry. Can you provide more detail of what aspects constituted his toxicity? Maybe we can avoid that attribute and benefit from his other recognised strengths.

Surely gender defines no gender If bananas are both male and female surely they are gender enriched?

Hope the Coach references this to the players. You have a long way to go. You have a lot of history to overcome. You have a lot of history to make. Lets show the Watson of the world that you are ready for the journey. Win this game!

Perhaps we should position ourselves as the red and blue meat team. Hmmm perhaps some very astute placement on Master chef.

The cost of bananas per kilo is now still trending up at $1.50 having soared in Feb To $1.62

Perhaps we should be aiming higher. The cost of living index indicates that for the average daily intake requirement bananas are $0 .76 topped by oranges $1.76 apples $1.22 tomatoes $1.02 . of course beef $2.31and chicken $1.53 are leading The humble potato is $0.60

Not sure where this is leading. I am definitely not a supporter of Mirabella and her behaviour was abominable. However the law appeared sound when McGowan said in court she was not pushed as reported. i don't think she had a reputation to lose and would not have supported such a payout. As they say, "the only winners are the lawyers" and this would appear to be the case again.

Not sure that jurisdiction considers matters "less than beneficial to society" Not sure that's an adequate description of "Murphey"

I have a long standing relationship with lawyers from previous matters considers by the authorities to be less than beneficial to society. Having studied and worked in Industrial relations I have tried to redress that balance. Of course all activities have been parallel to my support for the demons so there may be some strange relationship that recognises Newtons immutable 4 th law

Thanks Bitter. i shall do my best to contribute but fear my sporadic attendance usually results in post hoc thought usually trumped by the more astute observer. However given the new levels of trumping achieved by POTUS perhaps there is hope for me.

Oh no while your summary includes most of the contributors I recognise, I am sure there are more in the audience with a reticence to step into the primal swamp that this thread inhabits. I myself have attempted to engage but my feeble efforts have received little attention. When placed against the wit or witless comments of the more erudite and reticulate, not to mention the obtuse or extreme rantings it is understandable. However it is the thread that detracts from the depressing and mundane that I found attracted me more than any other on this site. Please, please continue the eclectic and outrageous conversations. if required I will research and report banana price movements but would be much happier with wine and beer analysing, although I fear such a restricted topic would lead us all into a state of ruination

So what are the stats on frees for and against and is there any indication of where paid, ie forward,mid,or back. Also any comparison with other team totals.

Don't want every intimate detail but I will open this thread as the only likely source of any info. Don't live in Adelaide.

Happy to have Jack and other ex D's fortunes reported. Happier that our results are trending better. Have previously stated the significance of Ports performance against our and still think it appropriate.'

Having been a lifetime supporter I am used to disappointment, so I will again watch with great interest. This is a time when Hinckley will be exposed for his abilities in getting maximum performance from his players. If he does it Port may be the surprise packet. Watts performance will also expose Goody to an additional query over his judgement. Melbourne has momentum and despite the last two games failure was certainly on the improve. The list movements must continue the improvement or he will be seen as a fail. I support MFC and hope he doesn't. I want to support a successful team

Fine as long as he is correctly introduced as previous winner, Brownlow medalist, premiership player , coach of the team that kept no records of a drug regime. its a good thing others are keeping records.

Unfortunately we can never know if he was or if the drugs made him do it

I noticed he went to ground a lot with a number of other players in his back also. He does go to ground as a lunge or desperate act often as well. His experience means that he understands when to stay out and receive the loose ball and when to throw himself into the action. A lot of his real value is like Watts bing in the right place when needed. His teammates are starting to learn that from him. I'm starting to really like him.

I reckon many comments are a bit harsh. Lewis has added an on field presence that distracts opposition teams from their own game. This gives us an edge. His on field positioning and direction are always valuable and never better evidenced than the last few minutes this week. No one else in the squad brings what he does to the game. I'm happy that the coach recognises contribution value over the statistical count.

Don't know why Cornes chooses one isolated act. I guess that's what he's paid to do. Im happy with Lewis. But more importantly I reckon Goodwin may have more knowledge than both of us.

Wow this is disturbing. Also 31 of the 33 have reached settlement. Hope they had scope for future support should some future disclosures throw up further disturbing events.

Sorry to interrupt but would appear to be a tautology. Lofty heights would seem to be more of a redundancy Apologies

Certainly an apt observation from the last two games. Crows forwards were further up the ground and we seemed to hallways have someone behind them to stop the rebound or take the kick forward . North seemed to always carry the ball a bit deeper or had a tall target that we had difficulty matching. In the second quarter we double teamed Brown and North just roamed around for a mis match. Very interesting contrast. We could have won but for a few more lapses that we did not exploit. Got a bit cute when we should have taken first option and we had a bit of difficulty with the inconsistency of umpiring decisions favouring North.
