[The Dice Man]

Ah you're not Robbo, you're Caro bloody Wilson. Love your work Caro

 

[Ron The Bear]

Countless thousands wait with baited breath for my daily commentaries.

That would be bated breath, Mr. Journo.

"Baited" would be more accurate in my case Ron.

I am one of the pre-eminent football commentators on the internet. Countless thousands wait with baited breath for my daily commentaries.

You're just a flea.

Bad call. Rubbish call. Deluded call.

This is just another example of the Kangaroos misplaced focus, from the president down, on wanting to be trumped up media tarts rather than a proper football club. maybe a little less self promotion boys

 

[Hard_to_Beat]

Bad call. Rubbish call. Deluded call.

I'll take that on board Caro.

The bolded as big calls. Whats your thinking behind them (esp surprised with the Bombers being so low)?

- Melbournes big mature bodied recruits will give them the structure they have been lacking. I think they can grab 8-9 wins.

- StKilda are going to naturally fade away as Watters addresses the next era at the selection table. Some crucial veterans will begin to struggle. 6 wins.

- Essendons lack of speed and run will see them caught out by the up and comers this year. Teams will simply sit numbers back to counter the kicking/KPF game and run through/around them on the rebound. Hird addresses the inevitable after finals is considered out of the equation by round 12 and starts shunting through kids. 7 wins.

tks I reckon 6-7 will have you higher up than 15/16 though
