Lots to say but no time to say it.

So I never followed through with the Head I promise you all last week.
There's disappointment in the Roy camp this week, and I have two topics I really want to let loose on this week but don't have time to do them justice.
Seems we're all about missed opportunity and non-delivery here at the Drunk lately.

One topic I wanted to open up this week was one close to my heart. The good ol' Dees.
An interesting thing occurred to me during the week, while the mutterings of 'tanking cheats' are starting to gain some traction. Let's for the moment put aside the whole question of Tankers: Yes or N0? Of course I put it down to team development taking precedence over a win that'll amout to little in the long-run, but I would wouldn't I?
Anyway that's not why I have you here.
I sat down down and worked out the nett result of our 'tanking' and came up with one name. Jack Trengove.
In '08 (when I don't think we were 'team developing' anyway) we were always going to finish last or second last. If we'd finished second last, every other team in the league finishing last would have picked Nic Nat (cos, as you geniuses keep telling us, Watts is a dud), so we still would have ended up with Jack Watts.
Last year, looking back at the results, yeah maybe the Tiges shouldn't have beaten us in R18, but given we beat Port, Freo and WC in the last 8 rounds, I reckon that's about the extent of it. SO, all right, maybe we should have finished 15th, not 16th, more importantly MAYBE we shouldn't have got the priority pick. Jack Trengove, let's say.

Well relax, we didn't need him anyway. Our miraculous turn around over the past few weeks, including that sensational win against the Swans were done sans Jack.

Thanks for your time ladies and germs, glad I've been able to put that scuttlebutt to bed.

PAY UP TIME

Yes, I know it's my fault, but now the time has come to pay up your $60 each. Hopefully this year it's late enough I won't be able to spend it and have to scrounge up $2k from down the back of the couch again.
Bank details in the email.

PLUS I'm thirsty, how are you? Lets have another catch up on Thursday 19th August. Mark it down more details to come.
