Do you actually start any positive threads?

Everytime I read a thread that you have started it seems to be negative.

Cricket fines as a percentage of match payments rather than set amounts.

Trading for another ruck now is not going to help us. I agree Big Mac is not quite there yet but I don't think he is far away. Given that we look like going with 1 main ruckman, trading someone else in will not help Mac develop. If we were to trade for an experienced ruckman that may play for 4 or 5...

"Other Incidents Assessed: Contact between St Kilda’s Justin Koschitzke and Carlton’s Ed Curnow from the first quarter of Monday’s match was assessed. The panel said that no contact was made by Koschitzke to the shoulder region that Curnow had previously damaged during the quarter. No fu...

I think not

I got it! Although I had not previously replied on this thread.

Not for bumping him no, but there were a couple cut lunches thrown in there so there might be something out of that.

They are probably told not to tweet anything about the games so the media doesn't get a hold of it and twist it in some way.

before you pay out on clarke. re-watch blakes game. he is the one that cost us tonight. a highlights reel of f*** ups that gave carltank goals or cost us an opportunity at a certain goal. what i wanna know is, was that free kick against blake which resulted into the walker mark then goal a legit fr...

Schneids gave them nothing...just chewing the fat I was a little disappointed that he didn't admit that Monday's game was pretty important. He dismissed it as just another game. Well Schneider pretty much cost us the game due to his pathetic goal kicking He needs to do some serious goal kicking dri...

If there is someone who can't/doesnt want to pay Mr Magic I am happy to relieve them of a couple of shares.

i just gave up trying to explain it

Explain what exactly? You had a different view and that is fine.

If I am wrong I am wrong, no problems with me admitting that but I wish I had of recorded it so I could go back and watch it again because I am fairly certain that the enthusiasm was lacking.

Certainly wasn't straight away, true it was a contest so fair enough they couldn't have been there as quickly as maybe a set shot, but still there didn't seem to be any enthusiasm amongst them. Half the team should be getting down there to pump the him up, you see it all the time when a kid kicks hi...

I know this would have been difficult to see on TV but at the ground on Saturday night I saw something that astounded me. Jamie Cripps came on took a great mark and goaled not long after he was substituted on at the start of the 3rd quarter. How exciting for the kid, kicking his first goal in his fi...

I am in Adelaide and earlier ran into someone from the club who hinted to me that there would be more than one debutant tonight so yes i believe it.

Anyone heading to Adelaide from Melb this morning be aware that traffic is crawling from mickleham rd to the airport. Make sure you leave plenty of time.

The way things are going you need to have a ruckman who has half decent skills around the ground too. Mark Blake - Not a chance in hell. Will Minson - Crap around the ground, does OK when he goes forward. Stick with Macca, another year or 2 and he will develop into a great ruckman. He is still young...

Good point "thequarry" about the weather, which most of us missed. A "re-adjustment" to my selections : Out - Stanley - definitely with bad weather predicted. Out - Winmar - limited match time. Too light for heavy ground, first-up. In - Clarke. In - Blake Sub - Blake Move Gwilt ...

Would be great to see a reserve game as a curtain raiser. A chance to see the potential new boys strut their stufff and with the added bonus of them getting a sniff of the "bigtime" on an AFL ground Curtain raisers are very rare in Melbourne these days, they try to protect the turf by kee...

I remember how we were playing at the start of 2002 a 20 goal thrashing @ "skilled schithole" a week after an 80 point demolition by Port Adelaide in front of a half-empty dome, and then the drawn game against the swans. I remember the Geelong game as it was the first time I had been to a...

That's if his body holds up. He has been knocked around a lot in his career and even though to date his body has held up reasonably well, I have doubts he can put himself through it all until he is 34.

I am heading over to the Adelaide game!

Transfer Sent.

Thanks MM and apologies for the delay (I really should look at stickies more often).

Got to the stage where I have even written down who has what bye thats how worried I am. Who are everyone's big worries going into round 1? I have ditched chapman and hodge. Both guns but will struggle early. Bit worried about lake but even a 90% lake will still score highly. How many GC players ha...
