If you don't play as a defender you just wont get it. There is more to laying a spoil than just punching the footy which he's good at. Against the hawks and on three occasions against Richmond in round 1 where he was right with his opponent but he was still out-marked. If he was so good he wouldn't have been. It looks great when he punches it but when he doesn't and his opponent marks through lack of a body spoil it's not so good. Jamison is clearly our best "spoiler" both technically and with his ability to punch the footy. Bootsma is a good at punching the ball but is not technically a good spoiler. It's common for young players not to be in the habit of body spoiling, it will come. 200 games of footy as an undersized defender, I've learnt that if you don't make a habit of body spoiling you will get made to look silly.

No Mars Bars?

Did anybody get their promised free Mars Bar?
I was registered, and haven't received anything.

Likewise if you wear your underpants on the outside.

Err.....seriously though, the kid only weighs about 77kg. Needs to be kept in mind. Although, if he sulks and refuses to do the proper conditioning, that's definitely not a good look.

I bought one myself - and framed it

Got an email with a print-out coupon. Thing is, you have to pick it up from a handful of "participating stores".

 

[Cringle]

Possible theory, if we aren't giving up pick 28 for Brisbane and have post-poned discussions, is it likely that we have someone else in mind for pick 28?

 

[Dramoth]

Back to rumours. I heard one that there was a player feeding frenzy going on at the moment called trade week. Just can't seem to find any evidence of it. Bugger, I'm bored - when does the football start?

in about 6 months... bugger...

 

[GoBlues!]

Don't worry about making one up, I just had lunch with his Dad and behind the scenes he has nominated us, Pick 29 & Laidler. Will be announced Thursday 1pm.

^^^^Sent from the throne room where I do my best imagining ^^^^

Mr K, hopefully the fumes weren't too strong when you sent this.

Someone said when he was drafted he weighed 74. IF this is correct, after 2 years in the system and only gaining 3 kgs that'd be average.

I posted here not long ago that I heard Bootsma refused to drink his supplements and is a bit of a stubborn prick when it comes to that stuff. Might be half-semi-partly true if those weight records are correct.

The heights and weights on the club sites are almost always wrong

Hope so.

Not sure if it is related but I haven't seen the cat ever since and a removalist truck pulled up outside the neighbours.

Yeah, if true, it would be a worrying sign and something that a coach like Mick would probably have low tolerance for.

From a solitary milkbar in central Australia no doubt?

 

[Dramoth]

Add in some Lindt to get the deal done.

I reckon that a straight swap for some Teuscher would get the deal sealed...

The labels on some recyclable bottles say "20 cent refund in South Australia".

In South Australia, the same types of bottles say "20 cent refund in Victoria".

In outback WA probably.

Ive taken dumps bigger than 3kg

 

[HBF]

That's not something I ever want to think about again.

 

[King of Ruin]

You should get that looked at.

Can't be healthy.

Trade period is never meant to be a spectator sport, that's the point. The media try turn it into one with trade trackers and rumours, but its always going to be slow moving. All 18 clubs aren't gonna gut themselves just for the hell of making trades.

We need a hero ...
Someone with more balls than brains ...
Someone who WILL trade recklessly just for the hell of it ...

We need CRAZY VOSSY !! ... ahhh the good old days ...
