If his foot issues are resolved why has his speed diminished from 2010? You don't lose leg speed at 25 years of age normally.

I will give you my answer in about 4 years when we have had sufficient time to evaluate Tracc versus McCartin

Interesting post Pickett, after being flogged in Sydney but after a big win at Casey, it is no change then for you? M Jones off the wing is not worth a try, he was first pick earlier in the year, before doing his back? Spencer is building up some real form in the VFL and while he won't take Max's spot he should earn a run at some stage as back up if there is a match up, maybe like Geelong last year, where it worked. And come to think of it Spencer may have worked today in the wet, he likes to tackle and hurt people and big bodies were needed but we didn't have enough of them.

Hmmm!!! I will add a copy of this post to your HR file for the financial audit on Monday! Your not helping your case Uncle.

I agree but what a Pity they didn't do the same for Sicily's two head ducks and two goals!

Do the umpires read the media and issues with ducking? That is two Sicily rubbish frees for ducking and two goals, can not believe it after all we have seen in recent weeks. You just know North can't win this one, they lost it in the first quarter.

Uncle, glad to hear you are now in Shanghai, one of our better potential markets hey? However on other matters, can you please supply receipts for expenses incurred so far and a list of clients you have presented to? I need to produce a cost benefit report before I feel confident to approach the Board about extending yet further funds to our Chinese marketing venture. As it is I am facing some serious questions from our financial auditors about your expenses Incurred so far and the Chairman has actually caste doubt on your credibility as a sales representative.

No transplant BB, prolific hair re growth is one of the side effects of using Guava paste, just rub the magic G paste into the scalp twice a day and yeah, yeah, we have advanced hair! Obviously Uncle has been using my marketing samples of G powder meant for China on his own head, unbeknownst to my good self who has just sent off a money advance to him in China. God knows what he is actually selling to the locals.

Uncle, 1000 Bitcons sent through to your account as requested. Spend them wisely.

Politically incorrect with a capital P and a capital I Biff but I should expect no less from you and this thread.

How about in Bombay Bicycle Company, instead, they do good music.

Dear me I fear it may be Uncle B you refer to Moons. If so I am sure this is a complete misunderstanding. Uncle was transporting several kilos of Guava powder on my behalf as part of a major marketing exercise I am undertaking in China to promote the health enhancing qualities of guava powder, just add water and you have the magic of G paste! As for the bottles of Shiraz I think that is the norm for Uncle on a long haul flight, a bottle an hour.

Ernest I am sure Demon fans were arrogant and born to win in the 50's and early 60's. if you hadn't been galavanting around places like Cuba with the likes of Fidel and Che in the late 50's you would know this!

Yes and no one does it better than the Dorks and it can be crucial to the outcome of games and no you don't need super talent to do it. So why don't some teams who don't do it, do more of it? This is about MFC by the way.

RL I envy you and suspect you are doing better than my cruise last year to New Caladonia on the Pacific Gastro!

I agree Bigred but my reservation is that it was wet and therefore things were congested and slower than normal which suited him I think. He didn't look to have any ability to accelerate, just one gear but he did display courage, clean hands and footy smarts. Can that cover the leg speed issue? Not on the wing long term for me but in the middle and at half forward, yes I hope so. I do want to see how he goes on a dry track at the G.

I agree Biff, FFS and can I say it again FFS. Shyte what was the issue?

We don't have a first rounder so I suspect we will be trading players for other players and looking at some late picks. But what if Prestia is on the move? How do we stay in that auction?

I was at the game yesterday and yes Garlett had a shocker but I don't remember him getting a run in the centre ball ups. Am I wrong? My thoughts are he adds value with cameos in the centre clearances, he has great reflexes and provides another midfield variation and it is good for him as he gets some contested game time , rather than sitting in starvation corner hoping for a ball to come his way.

Yes BJ I have found the all new Soylent Green, "now with more girls", to be absolutely delicious!

All the post match talk is very depressing, can we change the subject? Bananas, guava paste sales for instance? Maybe an update on how the Gatt is going? Anything will do.

I have watched most of the first 4 seasons. My wife loves the series, I quite like it. My main gripe is that the concept for the series so easily could have been based on real history rather than fantasy. If anyone has ever read any medieval history from about 900 AD to 1200 AD involving the Normans, the Byzantine Empire and their Varangian Guard, the Arabs and assorted other barbarian tribes from Central Asia and you have a story of conflict that is equal to or better than anything you might see on GoT. But that is just me I prefer some historical perspective rather than pure fantasy.

I am looking forward to the Olympic demonstration sport of women's beach totem tennis this year at Rio. I reckon it will be riveting stuff to watch! I believe we have a pretty good team and are a medal chance but apparently the Latvians and Estonians are setting the standard. Russia won't be there as they have been banned, after testing positive at last year's World Championships, played in Qatar.

Peter Giles, Steven Smith, Leigh Matthews, 1987, Buckenara, 1988, Dipper, 1996 merge, and endless beatings over the last 10 years, yep it is the Dorks by a fricking mile for me.

Please enough of all this wild conjecture. I will state categorically that all the products in the Hood Institute of Wellness range of health products are 100% HACCP certified, that includes my "essence of guava" that is proven to reverse male pattern baldness and my special guava paste, krill and Horney Goat Weed formula that is proven to improve your skin, memory function and male sexual performance! And yes to quell the scurrilous rumours that are circulating there was an incident involving one of our guava paste production units. This is part of an ongoing investigation so cannot comment further, only to add that Hudson has decided to take up an opportunity in our Havana office as of last week.
