    Back on subject, wonder if the RAMS can pull off a result of this magnitude on the weekend ...

    ... didn't hear a thing about this ... would rank as an upset alongside GWS beating Collingwood this season!

    AFL in Victoria must be in total denial!!!

    Apparently Vic Metro sent a B team and got their just desserts.

    They should have a C, D & E team good enough to beat NT!!! ... and they would tell you that if you asked them ... trouble is, no one is talking about it!

Johnson, Reid and Parker. Did we change recruiting managers?
    Wasn't there a switch from Rick Barham to Kinear Beatson around that time?

    As an aside, the 2009 draft was a watershed moment for us, and hopefully in time will be comparable to Geelongs 2001 crop.

    I just love the thought of having a recruitment manager called "Kinnear Beatson" Its a wild old name.

    Brigham Young, the mormon leader for 29 years. Had 55 wives, hated the black american and was responsible for a massacre.

    So they did brigham young to him for marriage.

    Chat to your next mormon door knocker about that bit of history.

    Under 16's Swans beat Under 16's GWS Academy on Sunday. No wives taken though.
    Nothing like a good light bulb moment.

    Roos jr would go to Lions under father son, so not much to get excited about.
