Reasonable point to raise, but I'd be hoping that anyone with ties to Wanganeen would be putting their hand up and saying "let me have a crack at him today". Not that Wanganeen is the huge threat he's often made out to be, but blanketing him could do wonders for Eddie, as well as knowing he's...
If this has become your new approach to life, I don't look forward to seeing you fork out five bucks for a cup of draught, and pour it straight into the urinal.

Well said, I reckon most of us had no idea on his background before plaing in the SANFL.
All you see on someone's profile when theyre drafted is which WAFL/SANFL club they're from, unlike the Victorians who are come via the under 18s or the various minor leagues.
Seeing the name of a Perth...
This is actually my fault.
Got to Friday's game early in the third quarter, said to my mate "JWS will win the rising star... GET ON IT".
Sorry Jesse and all NMFC supporters. Talk about putting the mozz on a bloke.
At this stage it might just be speculation... the mayor of the Gold Coast putting in a showing of interest, and the club not refusing it outright.
The things that worry me in that regard, are Ron Clarke's comment that "we don't care who plays here" and the club's non-commital stance.
Seems...
I think this year typifies NSW's problem in the Shield. Depth, especially their bowling stocks.
Early on when the full side is available, NSW are world beaters (and would probably belt most international sides). but take half a dozen players on tours and the lower tier is either too...
Not being a huge wine buff but wanting to grow the collection, I'm looking forward to threads like this to get other people's recommendations. I figure I might pop in soon and say g'day if youre flogging it at $12, because the local Liquorland has it at $18.99 and the local Safeway at $16.99 for...
Carlsberg is and always has been disgusting, and Beck's has been brewed in Sydney for the last year or so. The change in taste since being made locally is quite obvious. The tap version has been made in Australia for a while and has always been ordinary.
Other than Stella Artois, Belgian beers are generally overrated and marketed on gimmicks. I don't care if Chimay is made by trappist monks, it's an odd-tasting drop and nothing out of the ordinary. Likewise Leffe, big price tag but you pay for fancy bottles, and it tastes like vomit.
I think...
Let's not get carried away. They were missing a few players too, and given the gap between their top ruckman King and their second stringers in Mooney and Blake, I think a lot of ther impetus lies there. I was happy with the game but I think Geelong fans would have been content too, givne that...
I think last year the question marks were about his actual ruckwork, and he has beaten the more experienced Doyle and the similarly-aged Blake in the p/s comp. His around the ground stuff last year, and his ability to p[ick the ball up below his knees were and stil are pretty mind blowing for a...
Venue and opponent are usually pre-determined... entry is usually around $12-14 I think. Might even have beer in cans with a bit of luck. Prefer the country venues for praccys myself for that very reason...
I counted 19 steps... ya gotta laugh. It was like Shane Warne's absolute disgust every time he gets turned down for an appeal that would have turned past a second set of stumps.
Still the worst field kick in the side by a long way. Love his attack on the footy and his ability to blanket a man, but geez stick to handpasses. Simmo started handballing a lot more in 2005 to the betterment of his game and I think Brady should be forced to do the same. It's got me stuffed how...
True, we need a bigger midfielder if not JUST to cause potential mismatches, but his disposal and decision making were a bit iffy at times last night. Won't read too much into it as he wouldn't have played as a frontline midfielder at that level before and will still be adjusting to the pace...
Looks like he started on Kingsley which isn't an ideal match, but Kingsley didn't do all that much and the Cats looked better once he went off - they were less predictable. For Gibson to be playing on the sole focal point, I think he did OK in the first half at least.
Something I noticed also...
Wells isn't self-centred enough. When you're that good, you can be. Prime example is the game vs Snorethorn where he danced up the wing and HFF and instead of having a shot at goal centred it. I think it was Hale who went off after getting crucnhed under a hospital ball. Wells could have easily...
I just couldn't get over how much Smith has bulked up and has gone from kid to adult, and is starting to play like it. Now he's looking like the top 5 prospect he was touted as, before being drafted. Gun.
PS - I reckon we had 10-11 of our best 22 out. At a guess I'd say Geelong had about 8 or 9, and lost Kingsley after the main break. Hardly saw Rooke at all so assume he had very limited gametime. And based on King's importance he almost counts for two. We might have had the slightly weaker side...
Some would argue the game wasn't taken seriously with Grant, Harvey, Simpson, Hay, Petrie, Wells, Archer, Thompson, Corey Jones, Sinclair etc not playing.... but I think we took it very seriously but with a different focus. I don't think even one of the kids on display disappointed today...
We were abducted by aliens while on a pub crawl. I managed to escape but de Jackal will eventually get used to their anal probes. I still suspect that one of the aliens is actually NorthBhoy in a Shane Clayton costume. Amazing what a bit of lipstick will do.
I think the boys did what they had to do. Said to a matre at half time that even though it was 50-14 on the scoreboard, it wasn't a hiding in general play. Not a great game, but both sides rested a lot of players. Maybe it's just me, but I think our depth is pretty good... not a huge amount of...
