My thoughts were that we fell asleep on the ground, and got lazy. But my thoughts have changed and yes the moves that should have been made were not. Considering Sheedy was the first coach to put someone in front of a Plugger or Dunstall type player, he now doesn't want to do it anymore. Pev is def...

This new 'rule' will kill one of the most exciting parts of the game - the screamer - stone dead. And Mal adjusting? I recollect him getting murdered by that rule in our only NAB game. He'd want to have pulled his head in since then? Complete rubbish - ever see Vanda play? He took screamers all the...

People who wish injuries on the opposition really miss the big picture. I like to play opposition teams at near full strength to give a clear indication of where we are really at. Remember being lulled into a false sense of security after last year's R1 win against an under-done Swans? We should be...

I reckon Sheeds memory is playing tricks & he is talking about our woeful picks in 2001 & 2002 (although I must admit that 2002 would have to be the weakest draft ever). Either that, or he might be talking about the trades that were done in 2003, with noner of those picked ever setting the w...

Rudd & the ALP have increased their lead over the Libs in the polls since this issue came out. Seems like the electorate doesn't really give a toss that much about this so-called scandal & are happy with Rudd's replies so far. If the Libs keep harping & harping about this issue in Parlia...

Laycock had a fair stint in the ruck. Got beaten but not too worried with him, he will get better as his kicking is quite good and he has a good grab. C'mon Rossi , Laycock & Hille were up against that dangerous duo of Ackland & Cloke. We should have creamed them in the ruck & I don't c...

I was already expecting an ordinary season with a bottom 4 placing. It seems to me the most upset people are the ones that believed the Sheedy hype that we are a team going places & were a shoe-in for a top 8 spot. I reckon our midfield is still pretty ordinary, our rucks are ordinary & ther...

Ponting has had his back injury since the Tests (Gilly's excuse is fair enough, but still having a break during the nuff-nuff games couldn't have hurt him). Once we had won, say our 1st 4 games, we pretty well had a finals spot stitched up. This would have given Ponting a fortnight's spell before th...

http://www.theage.com.au/news/columns/after-months-taunting-england-australia-have-made-same-mistakes/2007/02/19/1171733685522.html Some people on here may disagree with Roebuck, but I reckon he is right on the money with this article. Basically he's saying that you always send your strongest team o...

As long as he stays injury free, he will play all 22 H&A games for Freo this year. Don't be surprised to see an all-WA GF this year, & I'm predicting Freo will win it. I expect a BOG performance for Solly against us when Freo plays us, as none of our blokes will take him on physically - if a...

My missus with CCC - they look such a happy couple! http://img406.imageshack.us/img406/2065/s5000017mz5.th.jpg Me & Wally (notice his raccon eyes?) http://img248.imageshack.us/img248/1299/s5000003xb6.th.jpg Me, a mate & GOD - if I looked a bit pissed it's because I was http://img248.imagesha...

I tell you what, I saw Slatts at training last week & he has bulked up a bit in the arms & shoulders since last year. On top of his white line fever, I would be putting my money on Hank, as Gus is really fighting out of his weight division here. I'm expecting (or hoping?) that Slatts takes W...

You're right Filth, Sheeds was on the reds. I probably meant to say I was on the beer, although the other blokes I mentioned were having a few. Mind you, I think my missus took a shine to CCC (must be that bloody cheeky smile of his) & she was impressed with the photo I've got with him & her...

Bomberdonnie, you will have a bit of a laugh if you read the bloke in the Age's blurb about the first 2 days of play. He obviously wears his heart on his sleeve when he writes about the Vics & his parochialism shines through. After day one's play when the Vics collapsed after tea, it was all due...

Sorry Filthy I missed it. I ended up having a beer after the game with Sheeds, Longy, Pat Dodson, Che Cockatoo Collins & believe it or not Peter Schwab. All top blokes (when I got my photo taken with Pat Dodson, i said to him you must be disappointed by the result, he laughed & told me he ha...

Tait & Haddin in, white & Clark not

Went along to have a look to see how the boys are travelling. I might repeat a few things that I mentioned on BB, but anyway, here's a few observations. No sign of Laycock, Bradley, Dyson. Campo & Hird will be rested. Lloyd has a corked thigh, so he's not playing. McPhee is built like Adonis. Ma...
