Miles from Nowhere

I know that it was a different time, but wasn't Grenville Dietrich the North Adelaide go-to man in the early 80's?

An anti-MCC rant might be understandable if the MFC were not a sporting section of the cricket club. But it is. And was in the halcyon days of Checker and Norm.

It's hard to imagine anyone on the MFC list that the Aints wouldn't be chasing.

STMJ has it about right. And you can add Tyson's resolutely left sidedness. He has no right side at AFL level. There are plenty of left footers like that, but they normally are elite on their preferred side. And that aint Dom.

The senior players at this club are leading by example and buying in. You could see the delight on the skipper as he was chaired off the ground last week. And a week earlier Pedo was a great team mate cheering and clapping every player as they came off the ground at Alice.

We could always elevate Lynden Dunn from Casey. He might relish a crack at finals footy. What???

The issue for Dom is that he has not improved. Like a lot of left sided players he came to the club with no right foot. And he has no second string to his bow. Hell, with much of his disposal he hasn't even got a first string.

Dom isn't a pick 25 at Melbourne.

Didn't the Nil(l)s play with Lofgren?

The most obvious change is the inclusion of Charlie Spargo. The guy is a talisman. He doesn't know how to lose a game at AFL level.

On a par with Tulip but precious little sympathy for Bob Skelton. Given that he was a kiwi. And a jockey.

So it looks like diagnosis by keyboard is not 100% accurate. Who woulda thunk it?

Isn't it great how expectations have changed? Rewind to 2011 and if recruiting genius Barry Prendergast announced that he'd signed a tall kid who hadn't played since the under 14's this place would be in meltdown.

Correct. In a practice match against Frankston. Last target he hit in the big time wore a Swans jumper.

Or he would be if he could hit a bull in the rrrz with a bucket full of gravel.

Or the old half back line Newport Rohde Ireland

Tell Tex that Bryce Gibbs says "Hi".

Excellent performance by the bluebagger coach. The magician turned Liam Jones into nearly a footballer and now has turned him back into Liam Jones. Kudos.

And how blind are the media? After an historic weekend both papers put a ginger on the front page, but it's Harry nor Clarry!

Genius!

It's hard not to ignore SEN. They're the outfit that see David King as an intellectual and Andy Maher as talent. .

Let's face it, the guy plays the easiest position of the ground. Unaccountable sweeper without a direct opponent. He should be dominant with other people to do his defending and others to attempt to clean up suspect disposal.

Not sure how ANB will keep out anybody who makes a half decent attempt at Casey. Half-hearted marking attempts are unacceptable.

Let that be a lesson to you all. Nobody beats Vitas Gerulaitis MFC seventeen eighteen times in a row.

Not quite so clear cut on reading the email. The Leighoak deal is not done until 31 July and the Bentleigh Cub runs out in August 2022. So still a few coins to rattle in the tray yet.
