_{GWS will give up 1st draft selection for an experienced campaigner, Dees will give up 2cd draft selection for a midfielder, Swans 7 million 5 year deal hunts Franklin, North thinks it can land Dal Santo and not giving up on Betts.}

_{Sumich white hot for Eagles job.}

_{Bombers active especially in late bid for tiger Maritn but to much damage done and people responsible haven't been chopped no one wants to go there by the looks.}

_{No 1 draft prospect Tom Boyd, 199cm 100kgs ready made key position player up for grabs if you can satisfy GWS, Dees don't need him Jess Hogan is expected to be a gun too young to play this year, the other two clubs in need are The saints and The Bulldogs but do they and can they afford to trade? Hawks with expected loss of Franklin? would fit in well im sure and could easily trade a quality player and hardly notice.}

_{On all accounts Boyd will be a megastar any takers?}

Hanoi was nice, much better than Saigon, I'd like to visit again and to my surprise Vietnam air were using brand new planes with an Aussie captain, made me feel a whole lot better I can tell you.

The bike problem was worse down south as was finding a clean restaurant yes much much better in Hanoi.

In time we will be just as the revolution in the west is doing to us.

Yes of course going on the past you would be right, anyway lets see who the Dees land in trade and free agency's.

Football is a TV game now, crowds arnt so important, sponsorship and prime time tv is all what its about now.

hahaha...really? but did they give you your money back?

the ho har I had to go through to get my sneakers replaced.....

I can predict with some certainty that the Hawks wont win 2 in a row, Dees will pick up 6 to 10 wins Carlton will make the eight on there own merit, Geelong are on the downhill slide and the woods right behind them, Saints are cellar dwellers with GWS and the Bulldogs, Port will sit about were they are North to move up a few notches eagles to sit mid table Freo to sit one or two.

The eight wont change to much but do expect the Crows to threaten as the Tigers.

That's my 2 cents worth and Im well known for being a lousey judge.

Melbourne 6 to 10 wins. if they pull 10 they could be knocking on the door of the finals, umm doubt it very much Roos may be good but not that good in his 1st year. I will give Melbourne 5 tops and that is 2 against GWS.

My bottom 4 from 15 to 18 are Brisbane, St Kilda, Melbourne and GWS. Gold Coast and the Dogs will be the big improvers but will miss the 8

9th to 14th I predict a logjam with the new fixturing system they have planned. Top 4 will be Freo, Hawks, Port and Sydney with the with the other 4 making up the 8 being Geelong, Essendon (if players escape suspensions) Adelaide and Richmond.

2014 is going to be a tight and hard fight with 11 wins getting you in the finals and a tippers nightmare,

Chooka! it is not beyond the Dees to pick up 6 to 10 wins next season, everyone and I mean everyone thinks were a pack of duds, the truth is they do have Dawks and wops forgotten his name since hes been out more than in that guy from Brisbane, both signings were top of the class both seasons, both can ruck and both can kick 3 or 4 goals a game.

On top of that we do have a host players who were high draft picks, now we finally have an experienced coach who will bring in a few good experienced players unlike the last guy, Roos will make them accountable and make them play im guessing pretty much like the Swans.

Unlike The Saints we have tons of classy youth Roos will blend it with a few experienced guys.

Roos and it was reported in the age about 4 weeks before his announcement said that the Dees had quite a lot of raw talent for want of a better word even going to the point of putting it down on paper a goal to goal line he liked. And with Brisbane circling he chose the Dees and they you would think would have a far superior batch of players.

Sure we under preformed and have been for years, firstly it was Baily pretty much decimated the team within two seasons, for the life of me he took over a team that had been playing finals and cut 90% of the experience first year and the final 10% the second, im still dark on that, how he could cut White, MacDonald and the like still riles me, then on top of it he got us to play a sth aussie style of footy that looks great when your winning but put a bit of pressure on and you buckle, Sheedy was sitting there but they choose Baily

Then they sign whats his name...see he is forgotten already, well as a woods assistant he was highly regarded but so was Baily...the writing was on the wall in the first game of the season against Brisbane, how the hell could you loose? A game that was dedicated to Jim Stynes...the first quarter was magnificent then the following 3 quarters was pretty much the rubbish we got served up over the next 2 seasons.

The club has been mismanaged for sure, the former CO was on a power trip and set the management side up so he wouldn't get the bullet again, yes he had been sacked from Demon land once before, everyone answered to him and only he spoke to the board. Poor jimmy got ill and died and that may have saved his name, the club at one point was more concerned with debt demolition than winning games, and mate all that shit flows on to coaches and playing staff.

New broom with real professionals at the helm, not predicting we will make the finals just 6 to 10 wins.

You cut out mum mr bookman....she I could go for.

Does she have black hair?

Yes she does hair is up and her shoulders bare....yum...

_{I don't think so unless it fell in half and then your gonna have to do a few head stands and grandstanding to get a replacment}

yes can be done but you need the balls to do it, and you need a tight lip, of course your cutting your self off to options means your pretty much stuck in Thailand.

How disappointed am I?.............Freo did not play there normal game save the 3rd q, and Lake BOG? come on....2 telling marks and a run or two in the last quarter do not make a BOG performance.

Freo looked pretty in white, Roughead and Franklin so so day but did just enough....now the best part of the season is about to start...all the wrangling and speculation on who goes where...

Frankilin to the Dees anyone? well we can dream but keep ya money and go after Shaw (since that dud let Rivers go we could use a class defender), theres a Swan or two who want out...hmmmmm

Franklin will be at GWS, and Shaw is already linked to Melbourne. Frawley will go to the saints who are chasing him and uncle Danny is on the job to get him to the families team.

Ahhhh chooka your a comedian.....Frawley isn't going anywhere, easily ranked in the top 3 players at demonland and off limits, since we don't have anymore than 2 stars theres plenty of money to keep him there, and why pray tell would he want to go to a club that isn't going anywhere, uncle dan has no pull on the boy.

Roo signing will help pull a few guys im sure and the Swans did very well of no names so I cant see that changing to much, Shaw would be that type of guy Roos thinks we could use and it could free up Frawley to play a bit more up the ground or even Garland.

Watts is staying.

As for Martin his manger came out and pretty much told the press to get off his case, claims he was under instructions to field the boy to GWS as martins tattooed pop lives up there, dad is expected in Melbourne Monday to help sort it out, no one wants him and if you had of seen the pic in the Age about a week and a half back Martin with mum and dad you might understand that it looks like dad is meddling. Mums a nice looker I might add.

Rumour file chooka, rene kink is coming out of retirement and putting on a saints gurnesy, and old Hafey nd his box of swiss vitamins is going to help out old waters next season...

I think the question has been answered i just wanted to add why feel so bad to even ask. Everybody pays no matter where you are in the world just is not hidden in Thailand like western country's

Rubbish

I would like to know why guys are compelled to contribute to there thai lovers, im pretty sure most of those guys wouldn't cough up 7 grand to help out a local gf there dating so why do it where you have absolutely no control or way of knowing that shes genuine.

Power of that exotic pussy?

If you needed to ask you were either doubtful or looking for confirmation on what a great guy you would be to help little lady out.

Hope you don't end up another bitter poster in TV.

Brandis, what were you thinking?

Ministers claimed costs for wedding trip

Two of Prime Minister Tony Abbott's most high-profile ministers claimed thousands of dollars in taxpayer entitlements for attending the wedding of close friend and Sydney shock jock Michael Smith.

According to travel expenses lodged with the Department of Finance, the duo collectively billed taxpayers nearly $3000 for flights, hire cars and incidental expenses incurred on the trip.

Senator Brandis claimed $1700, including more than $1000 on return flights, $143 on a hire car and the overnight ''official business'' allowance designed to cover accommodation and incidentals.

Happens in business all the time, I even know normal aussies who tell white lies on there income tax

Waterside resort restaurant, google it, not downtown its a little bit out, absolutely awesome alfresco, timber decking over water, cool, music, great food.

Right now there seems to be a large number of thai hairdressers in Date in Asia, I suggest you hmmm get friendly with one your area, im sure she could help.

I told my TGF to stick her head in the freezer and close the door.

Still undeterred I told her of my limited experience with snow how I got wet and cold and very uncomfortable that you need to spend a fortune to gear up for that one day in your life snow trip.

That didn't put her off, so I told her how expensive it is to go there, conservative miss was still not deterred.

So I offered to word my brother up for a weekend away in the alps next winter, now shes happy.

Thai women are like that too, and your being insecure.

You will find that eventfully sweeping things under the carpet will push you out of that relationship as it did with me because nothing gets resolved.

As for the "feminine" little brother, what are you NOT getting in your relationship to make you feel jealous?

Whats the question dude? the retirement visa or a live in lover wops i mean live in house keeper?

Hey that's pretty cool....will let the TGF know

The floods were nearly 2 years ago, still contributing to her life style?

Whats with guys who send an allowance to the part time lover overseas?

My first TGF asked for 3000B once...she had a good reason for it but I thought long and hard for a week before I sent it, I decided once only and only once it was, she never did ask for any money again which was just as well...but of course shes an ex now so keep that in mind when your wiring her the money.

I think the fact university students DO not use the ramblings of the experts in this forums for any research is a good indication of the quality of posters in here...

I have never ever read such a load of dribble regarding woman and there sex appetite, there cunningness, there desire to ripe men off etc etc.

And why do you think that is so ???? :-)

BECAUSE its TRUE, most men have not got the faintest idea of women and there workings.

JimBaaaa....sounds like your trying to justify your love for her.

Over 6 years now and on my 3rd TGF and there getting younger and better educated, seems obvious to me that SERCURITY LOVE SEX AND MONEY are all inter twined with a Thai girl.

The current TGF comes from humble background put herself through university has a Masters and works as an accountant displays all of SLSM in one, sometimes I find it difficult to be with her as she doesn't hide it.

The previous 2 weren't so open about it but it was there.

In the end like any relationship anywhere in the world you need to trust your feelings have your limits be consistent, open for dialogue and change and not drag pervious baggage into the new relationship.

As a farang we have to at least acknowledge that there is a good possibility that security and money come before love in a western Asian relationship, its well ingrained in Asian culture and certainly was in western before women became independent.

In the end if your asking advice for a matter of the heart in here your in trouble.

Update, 9 salt room therapy and 4 weeks of herbal pill taking and ive only had several mild attacks, there has been a quick turn around from the once miserable hours I use to have.

The people at the salt therapy tell me the owner would like to open in Thailand...

Herbs available in Thailand.

Humidifiers are also available in Thailand, when I lived there I ran a fan all the time and air con for a few hours a day so your either drying the air out and or blowing dry fine dust around. For me I cleaned every second day top to bottom that made a big difference.

From my experience building the immune system with immune balancing herb and natural allergy fighting herbs is the key especially if you cant have salt room therapy, but there's always a way to mimic that with some research.
