Spent a bit of time with the (Collingwood supporting) uncle today. I reckon we should make Rene' Kink an assistant coaching offer he cannot refuse!!

Really ? The Hulk ?? Last I remember of him was a boxing match years ago.

Fat lump of sh1t is all I know him as. Uncle reckons he was that great. Seeing as our club is already mostly ex-Collingwood, surely one more wouldn't hurt.  ;D

I'M THERE too - groan. Doing a full detox to boot - no caffeine, bread, carbs, protein.

Just some vegetables and some fruits!

My mrs is doing something similar.

No alcohol
No caffeine
No sugar
No facebook/social media

I'm not stupid enough to commit to something like that personally.  :P

Well aren't you going to be the most eligible bachelor of February then.  ;D

@Slugger
Tend to agree with you Slugger but I think a critical mass of good players is reached in a team when it is then able to carry a couple of lesser mortals, who can look better than they really are. An example for me would be say Josh Hunt who IMO is a very average player but looked adequate most of the time for the Cats, but also had some glaring lapses on occasions.

I think we are still probably still 2-3 quality players short of that critical point. With the advancing years of Scotto, Juddy and Waite we need to address this issue very soon, as we could fall back alarmingly pdq.

Love your work, Furry Biscuit.

It really is achieving that balance across the board where there is that (as you write) critical balance of above average and elite players (talls and meds and smalls).

Matt Clape would be another good example of an average dude who was in the right place at the right time ('95). McKenzie in '87 would be another.

Jesus, Matty Clape'. What has happened to him...haven't heard of him for a long time. No jobs in footy or anything.

In my memory, our KP backs and forwards have included: Lofts, Walls, Kekovich, V. Waite, (Swan) McKay, Southby, Doull (when KPPs didn't have to be 6' 4" or better!), Maclure, Fitzpatrick (yes, fronted up at CHF on many occasions), Perovic, Bortolotto/Ditchburn (did their jobs for a short period), Silvagni, Dean, Aitkin (unless a sack of cowardly slime broke his jaw - never the same after that), Kernahan, Dorotich, Spalding...

This year it is Jamison, Watson, Henderson and Waite. Good on paper... but, will Watto stand up, ditto Waite?

Will Casboult take the next step? Ditto Rowe.

How the likes of Casboult, Watson and Rowe fare this season will go a long way to deciding whether or not we have a decent year or not and whether we can start to resemble a footy side again. 
 
If we're fair dinkum as a club too then planning for life after Jarrad Waite should be long thought out. Tipping he will give it away after this season, or he'll be elsewhere.

Stood up in the Grand Final kicking a few very important goals. Biggest stage there is to prove yourself on. Not sure how he could do any better than that at staking his claim as a quality forward. We've seen many go missing over the years in Grand Finals. Gunston turned up on the biggest day possible. If anything, I reckon he's been a bit underrated.

Try again. 
 
 
In all seriousness congratulations. Look out Chris and Rebecca in the years to come. Can imagine any female offspring of Rebecca's would grow up to be an absolute stunner.  ;D

Once when I was 8, I got a whole McDonalds meal violently crushed into my face and a couple of good belts across the face/head in the restaurant off the old man who'd been on the piss all day.

Not so happy meal

Humiliation meal more like it.  ;D Was so embarrassed as tears rolled down my McDonalds covered face in front of everyone. And from memory I went to bed hungry that night too.
