The good Doctor Aylett was quoted in The Age today saying that we have 140,000 supporters. If that is the case then that leaves 119,000 who are potential members. You'd think that we'd be able to convert a mere 10% of that total (11,900) to members. Add that to the 20,000 odd who sign up each...
Coiln,
You're making this difficult for me you're a 'Dub' but you now barrack for the Kangaroos! I guess I've got to take the good with the bad. Well done!
Go The Rebels!
It's a done deal
The deal is done and can only be judged 3-5 years down the track when:
1: We see what effect Carey has with the Crows
2: We see what effect Johnson has with the Tiges
and most importantly
3: Who we pick in the national draft and what effect they have with the Kangas.
All...
Caaaaarrrrreeeeyyy as per your namesake you're on the outer here big fella. Buckley's missus is an absolute slapper and if she had worn the same dress as last year that would have only confirmed this fact. Paul Williams missus has two redeming features and they're not real. As for Adam Goodes'...
Who do we want
I say a straight swap for McLeod and Ricciuto! Or now that they have actually got a few of our ex-players playing well, why don't we get Stevens, Welsh and Bienke back!
Or does he choose Essendon
I was told from a person at the club (who shall remain nameless) that Carey to Essendon was a done deal 2 weeks ago! We in turn recieve their 1st round draft pick and Scott Lucas, although we are trying to get Blumfield instead. So I guess we'll just have to wait and...
Would I delist Winnie
Woodson,
That's a tough one, but in word no. I think he at least deserves the chance to show his wares next year, if he can't make it back to anywhere near his best then I'm sure both parties would agree that the Kangaroos isn't the place for him!
The Brother Will Work it out
My mail is that Shannon won't be at the Kangaroos next year as Denis thinks he is lazy won't do the little things, hence his long spell in the reserves! Personally I would be disappointed to see either of them go as you can always be taught to tighten up your...
Byron
Bryon only got out of a trot after he sobered up (see post regarding his Saturday Night antics) in the last quarter! On another subject Leigh Harding looks as if he has the goods but he too barely gets out of a trot unles he has the ball or it is within 5 metres of him!
The Brothers Can Leave Home
A good friend of mine was at the Spy Lounge too and can confirm that Byron Pickett and Daniel Motlop were there along with a few Essendon players on Saturday night/Sunday morning. This sort of stuff BEFORE a match is disgraceful. I'm most disappointed in D. Motlop...
Denis has proved enough
Roobear, I agree wholeheartedly, Denis doesn't have anything left to prove, whether it be at this club or even another. I wasn't having a go a his record, especially not this season, it speaks for itself. The fact that you agree with what a good coach he is merely...
If what we are led to believe in the various media outlets is true and that Denis Pagan will have to take a very significant salary reduction if he is to continue his tenure at the Kangaroos, then I say let him go! My reasons are as follows:
1. He is worth what he is asking, an impeccable...
You missed this one
When Andrew Krakouer man-handled his opponent, Troy Makepeace I think, to take a contested mark in the first quarter this bloke near me yelled out 'Your old man got 15 years for that!'
Footy Chants
I remember quite a few Essendon singing (Ess En Don, Ess En Don, Ess En Don, clap, calp, Ess En Don, Ess En Don, Ess En Don, clap, clap etc.) the day they thumped us by 125 points. I think they thought they were Manchester United fans, except they don't have the silverware!
Second Guess
Windsock, thanks for the support, at least someone understood what I was saying, I didn't think anyone was gonna work it out! I guess us Makepeace fans have to stick together. Check out my reply in the 'Ottens Out' thread!
RESPECT
Suzi,
A few key words:
"As much as IT IS a NICE GESTURE and a mark of RESPECT. With no DISRESPECT to the MARTYN'S and THEIR CAUSE."
I just think there are a few under lying tones, I was simply reading between the lines! At no point did I say it was for sponsorship, I was merely...
Feel good story from the AFL!
Have to disagree a bit with the story about Mick changing numbers on Friday night. As much as it is a nice gesture and a mark of respect. With no disrespect to the Martyn's and their cause. The AFL will do anything possible to generate some good publicity about...
Carey trade talk
I think the ugly duckling may become a Swan. He may even take Mother Goose with him! Seriously though, he is worth more than just an early pick his marketing capacity, although somewhat tainted, is worth another early pick or a good youngster.
That Bloke
Windsock, I'm not suprised you think you know him, I see him there quite a bit. He generally has about one absolute cracker a year. I vaguely remember one about him, retorting to an middle aged Richmond supporter after he was going on about beating the North Melbourne Football Club...
Ugly Wives
The only player I've seen with an ugly wife was Mark Bairstow, he took her to the Brownlow one year, bad move. Now look what's happened to him, he's in Western Australia chasing horses, and I don't mean his missus!
