[wicksy]

The ultimate give away of course is if your Aunty likes to shave him and is a keen knitter.
You haven't received a wooly jumper for Christmas from her have you....??

 

[vjknight]

im hearing thru the grapevine that chris dawes is contemplating a move to melbourne.

now dont quote me, but its a little something i heard.

it might all be very wrong, as rumours tend to be, but i thought id put it out there ok.

 

[Hardas]

Does he tend to spit when he speaks?

Well, let's just say that drinking, eating and talking at the same time at weddings is performance art that should be on video, if not painted...

It's not about Carlscum but it's still funny.

Imagine how difficult it would be to explain to your Employer ( insert Wife / girlfriend etc where applicable). Why it was so important to spend so many hours over a 3 week period , hitting refresh on Big Footy continually, discussing BS rumours from bored 14yo's, JUST incase a trade actually got done.

Quoted because this deserved another run.

Best just to face it head on. "I'll clear out my pigeon hole". And then there's the things you'd say to your employer..

Pies will not settle for pick 20 alone for Dawes

I'm in my second semester of a Master of Teaching at Melbourne Uni.

Ah nice. 8 Units/Subjects to complete?
I've completed 4 subjects of my Master of Education (USQ) but I teach full time.
You teaching while your at uni?

Do you think he is worth more or Melbourne is stupid enough to pay overs

dansa that is the funniest thing I've read all year but it also gave me an incredible sense of reassurance to know that I'm not the only person doing this. Except in my case I'm a twenty year school teacher with three kids and a wife who is growing increasingly worried over my obssessive monitoring of news that is not news or evolves at such a glacial pace that it can barely be classified as news. That's what I love about these BF threads, the sense of knowing that I'm not alone, that there are others who just cannot let go of the season, hoping desperately to eke something positive out of the trade period, to feel optimism and hope for next year. And the AFL has designed it with a genius to keep us hooked to the drip feed until at least November and the National Draft. After that I begin monitoring Arizona/Utah diaries. I am truly pathetic.

Yeah - There are placement hour requirements before one can be registered with the VIT, and the Melbourne course is great because you do two days a week in a school right throughout the semester, along with a block placement at the end, rather than just periodic block placements.

When you think about it is Pathetic but we still do it

 

[wednesdaywarrior]

PS Would love to get our hands on pick 4 but couldn't see us grifting it off Melbourne. They seem to be making some unusually sound decisions this year. I'm vexed.

Quite right TD and for what its worth, I love your work.

Assuming Young signs and the Dawes deal is done (hypothetically we get pick 20)

In: Lynch, Young, pick 17 & pick 20
Out: Wellers, Dawes & Pick 39.

We obviously aren't looking for a backup Ruckman....Wood stays on the list?

I hope not. I'd much prefer we develop Ceglar and Witts from next season, particularly Ceglar. That is as much about being able to utilise them as we wish in the twos (give them extra ruck minutes) as it is pumping some senior games into them.

And the craziest thing of all is.. If ANYTHING actually happened we be sure to know about within minutes from txt msgs, radio reports, emails, phone calls etc. But that is too late for us.

According to BF this week, Clinton Young is such a part of the furniture down at the Lexus centre now, that when he doesn't end up signing we'll have to call in the removalists.
We'll all just have to go back to calling him over-rated, soft and a poor decision maker.
