Bump -
i notice he's not even 'in the mix' this week.
Anyone know what the story is? Is he out of favour? Been asked to work on something particular? And is he OK with that??
Hopefully, i'm speaking 2 hours too soon and he's been selected.

I think that's the point, LL!! Common sense tells you that out of 700 or 800 people, 20 or 30 of them are likely to be gay. The fact that none of them has come out suggests they didn't feel safe to or feel they won't be accepted if they do. An initiative like this is hopefully going to make it easie...

Seriously Sexist or a typical PC response trying to fly another's flag How about letting Loris decide on whether or not she is offended.... Not a 'do gooder' How about letting anyone who reads these boards decide whether they're offended by the remarks posted on them without getting yet another put...

Assume you're referring to the 'knickers' remark - in which case +1

Yesterday we kicked 15 20, the exact same numbers as the time of the start of the game! We should request more night games. Also, had we beaten North, we would now be out of the 8 on percentage. and if we had beanton the hawks we might now have been in the 8 And if we'd beaten them all we'd be top ...

One of the smartest things Richo has done - that Watters never did! - was/is to show respect for what the team achieved before he got here. IMHO that's something that really helped him to get the senior players onside (not to mention fans like me!) - and having them onside and getting their complete...

Juvenile I know but I can't help being amused that we're comparing the member with the package

Newnes
Weller
Hickey
Membrey
Gresh

But really I've got a top 10 or 15, not 5!

Really hope our 'new' leaders all keep on and on improving and what we're seeing now isn't a symptom of them auditioning for captaincy - makes me favour the gt-style rotation even more. I'd like to see them all keep slotting 'captain's goals' forever!

You mean bizarre

no he means bazaar, I purchased a beautiful fokari rug

Who needs to be in our best for a win today? Apart from the usual suspects, I'd say Dunstan, Billings, Gilbo and Bruce
- go saints!!

But so potentially is Billings <crossed fingers>

Well - must be better not to include a player who's literally gonna pass him the ball!

That's great news!

Yes - Harvs is not really Mr Personality. I don't think he'll pass the Mrs ImpS coaching test!

How's Payne developing?

Easily pleased. I don't think anyone was actually pleased, more relieved. I remember being the last Victorian team to lose to Fitzroy. I remember being 63 points ahead of Hawthorn and losing. I didn't want Sunday to be one of those games. We played poorly but at least we got the points and saved ou...

Dempster might not want to play on - bub on the way and has really been shoring up his after-footy credentials.

With sport - or any performance come to that, theatre, music or whatever - it's not how you perform at your best but how you perform at your worst that counts. When we get to the stage where we can replace performances like the Adelaide and West Coast ones with performances like last week's, we're i...

The Recruit wrote:Agree but turning the ball over off half back by foot in big games as a captain can be demoralising for the players and supporters.

Yep - if we're changing captains we might s well get one who stops doing that!

Out: Delaney, DMac, Acres
In: Templeton, Sinclair, Murdoch

Agreed. All the more noticeable now we've got others keeping their heads up and leading from the front.

Membrey kicked straight.
Our new crop of leaders all stood up.
Steven really put his hand up for captaincy imho (even though have previously been backing Newnes).

Hickey
Steven
Membrey
Geary
Weller/Ross
