Robert Heatley Stand / Re: RD 17 : North Melbourne v Carlton (Pre-game Jibber-Jabber)
Surely another big Friday night game = another disappointing loss.....why change the trend now?! :'(

I gave out my first like Brettie.

It's just all too predictable. North get themselves up for their only Friday Night Game (small club syndrome) and we wilt under their added intensity and Pressure.

Also beat this mob and basically ends there season as we go 2 games ahead... which as you know means we wont turn up to play.

North by 5 goals.

Robert Heatley Stand / Re: Jamo declares Hendo a Star
If only we could clone him.

The more he plays up forward, the more inclined I am to want us to chase a backman in the trade period.

I know a lot of people are caught up on Frawley, but I think we should also consider cutting St Kilda's lunch and making a move on Mitch Brown.

Lachie Hansen's name has also been thrown up and would be worth considering.

Both would be a lot cheaper than Frawley, Brown especially shouldn't cost us much given he's out of contract. 3rd round pick at most.

Watch on the Couch and see why Brown is a liability.

The Sports Desk / Re: Time For The DRS To Be Scrapped - Ashes Farce !!!
Not so sure its the system..we just cant use it and waste reviews on rubbish appeals that never look like being out or when batting review the plumb ones....
Get a wicketkeeper who knows whats going on would help...

Yep Haddin is terrible, where Prior is very good. Haddin thinks they are all out. Watson uses the review even if he smashes it to cover.

It was good to see Clarke Acknowledge he has to get better and use it correctly.

We wasted a very poor lbw appeal. Pattinson was already half way to the boundary with his cap on!!!

Also 228 runs from our tenth Wicket Vs 348 Runs from our other 18 wickets....needs to be rectified.

The Sports Desk / Re: The Ashes - First Test @ Trent Bridge
Just hope we're competitive. I'll be hoping I get more from the cricket in 2013 than I have from the footy.

Joe Root CAN play. Much more dangerous with him up the top than Compton.

However IF and its an IF we can get through Cook, Root and Trott -  Bell, KP and Bairstow are not in great form and are vulnerable IMO. Need to get Prior in early and under pressure.

It wont be won with us bowling (i think we have a really good attack), it will be if we can play the swinging ball. Our Batsmen are the key to this series.

Blah-Blah Bar / Re: Announce Your Arrival
I've been thinking the old site has been down all day!

Here, and ready for duty.

Mods, I cannot see the staff room or any privileges.
