Another ruckman in the Dees pipeline.  The son of star Jeff White played in his premiership winning team on the Gold Coast,at 14 years and 6foot 3 inches sounds like he will have the size for a father/son pick in a few years.

Still waiting for my jabs up here, booked in for Moderna shots.

Hopefully this month.

 

No longer waiting for Port to beat a top 5 side, the Dogs will be waiting for the Eagles to beat Brissy so they can stay in the 4 though.

 

Could be a long wait.....

 

 

Just got call to say I get my second AZ jab next week ,all in all a fruitful week????

I haven't lived in Aus for over 17 years so time and lack of exposure to how the public behave on a general basis may well have gotten away from me.

 

I knew it was sad when Coon cheese had to change their name

And the upsets continue.????

Well, Viney out for two weeks,dont think Simon will change much, Harmes to mid,Jones was best afield in the 2,s last week so a big chance of recall and the Weed in if Tom Mac doesnt get up.

Well Radar's boys put a cat amongst the pigeons last night.

Can the Teauge train make it to the station?

Saints were awful,slow and lacking skill.

I would rather the Tigers not make the eight but no one else is putting their hand up.

If they were horses,the stewards would order them all swabbed

Friday Funnies.......

 

Ahhh you worry to much.....Fj, Tyson, bit of bad luck there me man, he was a goer and its looking like curtains 3 ys on for him, i wasnt happy with the trade considering they got rid of the only outside run we had, plays a James Harms style, in and out mid.....As for Sam dont you worry about a thing at 200cm plus its well known they mature late and to be honest im sure if Ben wasn't in the team he would be he just needs to be playing...in the ones....

 

Well to brighten up the corvid days in the land of AU....Ben Affleck and that honey Jo Lo have been dating again, seen in some romantic settings Ben shot around to see Jo right after she ended her 4 year deal to the last bue......she who leaves women half her age for dead has a nice big engagement ring from Ben, estimated to have cost him 2 million  back in 2002, if you dont know the history of there  relationship it went for about 2 ys thats a million dollars a year plus dating expenses and they split weeks before the wedding, romantic Ben apparently did the Spacie thing with the rose petals and had one of Jo's songs playing in the back ground when he proposed.....who says men are not romantic? anyway when they broke up there was a bit of a cuffle going on about pink diamonds seems the hi so set is now a pink diamond giving set....well its happened a few times now....there was mention with what Jo did with the engagement ring, at that time it was number 3 since added a 4th and would Ben give a 5th? or resurrect the Pink job from 2002?

 

I dont know, look the best a prospective long termer would get from me now would be a 1500B dress.....you know the drill.....though i have bought one TGF a 3000B pink bikini.....but that was in the days before i became a harden romantic....by the way she looked pretty good in it and a farang walking with his wife on Hua Hin beach almost swallowed his tongue walking past my at the time joy....joy was her name....

 

Anyway even Jo is a latin bombshell i dont condone her music at all, to pop for me, i just figure shes got a nice set on the front and rear..... she would be a good model to put up there to have your long time partner aspire too.....

 

Saints @ marvel over the hapless Blues, well you wouldnt put your hard earned on any of these two would ya? The idea that the Blues could win is not an isolated idea, there due, look if your trying to catch up to Oz then do it....put ur cursor over the Blues by 5 points, me im sticking to the Saints...and im not confident....its the rockey end of the season you know.....

 

Dogs at Mars where ever that is over the Crows, another team ready for a win, well not tomorrow no sir, Dogs fine tuning for that one day in September.....

 

North in Tassie......over the Cats, interesting one this, you would think that dads army would cruise here.....Tassie will have a club in the AFL with in 5 or 6 ys, its in the brown bag men....and not before time, Tassie dont like North there coming to watch the Cats.....

 

Oh dear, another close one...Suns @ metricon against the Demons.....Jordan this years wonder kid dropped along with Hibbered, in comes first gamer Jake Bowery and i never heard of him starting on the bench and the bench looks like where in the deep poos.....Tom Sparrow can play but isnt ready just yet to make a statement, maybe next year, Goodwin's failure to shake the tree will come back and haunt him come september.....

 

Pies take on the resurrected Eagles....at the G, Kennedy on one leg could beat this mob and he is on one leg.....the dog is safe in the Willbert household this weekend....

 

After a run of poor form the Bombers are expected to give the Swans some curry here, at the Gabba, look i loved Buddy Franklin but hes finished, theres plenty in that team to keep the Bombers at bay, falling over the line, as thats what young teams do....

 

God we are playing in places that sound like China, Hawks at UTAS my god where is that? take on the Lions, well it seems like an easy week to pick this week so we know there are going to be at least 2 upsets and this could be one.....

 

And this could be the other, Gaints up at metricon against Port....well nothing is jumping out at me this week.....

 

Or this game....Freo at Optus against the Tigers who have turned into powderpuff......

 

Looks like sunday is the day.....wonder if Oz is nervous......hanging on to a narrow margin....playing it safe or sticking his neck out? Lot of pressure when your on top to stay there.....

 

Well men when you pick up the tablet and read the news from around the world seems a lot of winning going on, the Cubans are demonstrating, partly corvid partly tightened embargoes, Thais are complaining, one they dont like to be locked up the other is the lack of Corvid vaccines....Aussies are complaining......they dont want the vaccine....i had my second shot on Wednesday, like i value my life.....even if its nearly up, seriously the amount of people there was disappointing, the nurses where not busy, i walked in and i did have an appointment sat down for 2 min then called to get my jap, took longer to walk from the car park to the vaccinating room that actual wait time....

 

Get vaccinated, thats doing yourself and everybody else a favour, Thaiger the web news service there for you expats was listing where expats could go get there jab, every hospital in the country....cant find it now....you guys got all day.....do it...

No nerves mate,as Doris Day sang Que Sera Sera,we of the older brigade are always thankful for small mercies

Mate its the delivery.....we got the forwards, its a haphazard approach, Ben Brown was great on saturday night, if he kicked straight it could have made the difference, ive noticed when the forwards lead particular Spargo he takes for ever to kick and theres a couple of others like that, the midfield has regressed, Viney will get better as he gets more games under his belt, i think Viney and Oliver are to much of the same, Oliver has the quality to be better, he needs to break out of packs rather than just get the hand ball out or drop it on his feet, Viney in that regards is more complete, but Oliver is the better player if he did what i suggested..

 

There got Brayshaw on a wing, we dont have anyone else to go there, Angus is a gun midfielder id be doing something here in the lead up to the finals, Harmes id back in any day but is off the boil, the whole midfield is down 10% easy, bit of a shake up in the middle would get results....Goodwin hasn't played with anything all year so is unlikely to make big changes in the middle.....

 

If we put anyone of Macdonald, Fritch, Weiderman up for trade they would be gone in a flash....

 

Taking your back man for a run up the park is good...i liked Kossie on the ball he added some sparkle around the pack, Spargo is a good player but is 2 good 1 poor at the moment....Macdonald plays his best when hes allowed to roam up the ground.

 

I see the problem as being in the middle, were struggling getting first use of the ball, we are getting beaten around the packs to often, its a midfield issue....

At center bounces it seems that everybody wants to be an inside mid and we are getting done on the outside,big Max is good enough to get the tap 25met toward goal into the vacant area between half forward and the center, if its a planned move the mids only need a two step start and the first kick is into the scoring zone.

I seem to recall Spargo kicked 7 goals in one of his early games from the ball drop close to goal but now he seems to playing wider .

Its easier to clunk a goal from 30met than 50.

It is pretty clear that to be succesful a team needs multiple gun forwards ala Richmond,Eagles ,Bulldogs ,Cats etc.

Matters little having a gun backline if you cant score when you get the ball in your forward zone.

Problem being that gun forwards are like hens teeth and very expensive to get .

A criticism of my team (Demons) is that when the cherry does go forward our potential goalkickers are up the ground to far to effect the outcome.

Kozzie pickett was drafted to potentially be our (Eddie Betts) but he spends most of his time around the centre and wing.
