This Dangerous

Michael Evans nickname is 'Pickles', but I think he should be called Greg. Who is apparently a Dees fan. So there you go.

Confirmed.

I'd just like to say I can't imagine the Collingwood forum has a thread dedicated to peoples favourite abuse of the english language. However, I wouldn't be surprised if they had a thread about their favourite use of abusive language during bail applications. Go Dees.

I'm trying to think of examples in any sport of a talented underachiever who has then had some sort of revelation and gone on to be the best in their sport. I fear Colin will always be one of those players we tell our grand kids about with a sigh and shake of the head.

Thanks for that. It's good to see Aussie running around and having a kick.

I think Melbourne looks pretty good out of this. Cheynee Stiller comes down from Brisbane. He endures a handfull of brutal training sessions with Melbourne. Rather than risk getting drafted and facing a season of this fitness regime, he retires. Go Dees!

In a vague sporting tie in, when Muralitharan's bowling action was scientifically tested after the Daryl Hair no ball controversy, a newspaper allegedly ran with the headline "Hair or No Hair, Murali's Balls are Clean".

I heard a rumour that Dustin Martin is such a bad boy that when he asks the trainers for a drink he never says 'please'.

Jack Trengove. Have you seen you his "Getting to Know" video? While other players are bringing in golf clubs or their kids, he brings in a book about Moon Bears. Because he's an ambassador for their charity. That's how good he is. He's Mother Theresa with a wicked sling tackle.

McLardy's a pro. I'd be surprised if he went the 'My Cousin Vinny' defence by releasing a statement saying: "Everything that the media just said about us is bullsh!t. Thank you. "

I would love it if people casually referred to Dawes as 'Jim Morrison'.

To look at this from another perspective, would anyone rather be a Bulldogs supporter right now?

I was wrong. I would also like to apologise to anyone who put any placed any bets based on Jake Spencer's goal kicking.

According to scientific data the only thing harder than diamonds, is the impact of a Jack Viney tackle.

Jack Viney can perform an exorcism by sneezing.

For breakfast Jack Viney eats bacon and rusty nails.

Fitzpatrick is an odd one. Before his diabetes was diagnosed he was terrible. Watching him play was like a watching a stick insect drown. Lots of thrashing limbs for little result and the sad realisation that the poor creature shoudln't be there in the first place. Since then I've seen a couple of Casey games on tv and he looks like a player. Very quick for his size, very agile and can hold a mark. His kicking action is uglier than a Phil Scully nude calendar but I think we could see Fitzy play a lot more AFL games this year.

No.

I will genuinely surprised if Beamer is on an AFL list in 2013. I just can't see any List Manager saying "What this club needs is a slow 28 year old who couldn't get a kick in the worst midfield in the comp." I've posted this elsewhere, but I reckon Jake Spencer has got more chance of winning the Coleman medal than Beamer has of getting picked up.

I say go for it. Roll the dice and see what comes up.

Very happy with this pick up. He comes from a winning culture, and knows what it takes to win a premiership. I think part of of the problem is our current experienced players are only experienced in an MFC environment. They've never won a premiership or even played deep into the finals. They haven't trained alongside guys that have won Brownlow medals. Byrnes has. If he can instill the right ethic into the younger guys then he's served his purpose well.

I bought my son a membership for his birthday, which coincidentally was on the same day as our win against Essendon. He then spent the next fortnight telling absolutely everyone that the Demons won on his birthday. I reckon this fortunate bit of synchronicity has set the little bloke up for life.
