of course they are going to claim the income generated by the previous administration (specifically ongoing sponsorship arrangements) but they could also argue that these come with an opportunity cost (as they cannot replace them with better sponsorships) and that servicing costs on existing contrac...

Mr Magic ... yep ... it is the only reason! And if you ask me ... fair enough too. Why should their 2008 result be harmed by those items inherited from the past administration? They have done the right thing in my eyes. Expensed items that were a result of the past administration (and their decision...

i am an eddy fan as well

gazrat - that's fantastic ... I have updated the post at top of page 6

looks like 13 to go

JUST because it is so hard to go back to Page 1 and work out who is adding what here is a cut & paste and update to this point ... and we are seeking 190 shares! Dan Warna = 3 shares x $15 ea = $45 fonz_#15 = 1 share x $15 ea = $15 Ghost Like = 5 shares x $15 ea = $75 ==> will go to 6 x $15 = $9...

The Craw and Goodie

Onya!

Current tally: 140
Target: 190

So just for tallying sake does a couple extra mean 2 or 3 extras?

hmmm a very busy news week! perhaps wait a week longer or announce mid week before a blitz and have all the new draftees wearing the new sponsors gear

hmmm should I PM the following just in case they have missed this opportunity to date and are unaware of the looming deadline?

with cowboy, loriswa (hi Loris) and Saint Freddy that makes 129 and I am willing to leap from 5 to 8 (and extra 3 shares) so that is 132 Mr. magic I am guessing is cool with 7 or 8 shares (and I think we would both pay for more if we had a shortfall) but anyway that leaves us at: 140 shares pledged ...

the way I see it is that with Mr magic's 6 or 7 shares and with my willingness to up it from 5 to 6 or 7 shares (and i could be pushed to 8 shares) ... we are up over 130 shares tight now with people who previously wanted to sponsor, still to pledge and some who have already pledged MAY want a share...

seems like we have big demand here

that's great but if we have the extra $s ... let's get Gilbert + a rookie or a low cost player

I mean we have pledges that will cover our initial aim ... let's go for it

I just noticed we only have 37 shares left and I just asked for 6 .. ooops.

Ok 5 or 4 will do ... or if you need me to take 7 in the final calculation then that is all fine with me

hmmmm i had put aside $100 ... so can I have 6.66 shares? if not then 6 shares is fine

that dvd sneak peak has sold me!

it's free!

It is that time of year that I start wondering about best teams and how we match up with other top teams. Our big problem really is covering small fast forwards who play deep. We have heaps of half back flanker types, but when it comes to little fellas who can play tight and have the speed to match ...

around the corner from me

wonder if he will come play kick to kick in the park with the boys?

confirming I am in for 10 shares @ $15 each

Mr. Magic let me know where to send $s

Well done guys. Imaging how much we would have won by if the spinners had been playing for us! Dan should get the credit for the BBQ as I just added some bits and pieces (all the unhealthy stuff - chips, cokes, a few extra snags and the very healthy water) to his contribution of 1000 snags, bread an...

ok so i am looking good to roick up around 3.30 ... depends what time the SIT wakes up from his nap and we may bring his papa along too anyway ... dan ... bring some cleaning materials for the BBQ and I suggest some foil to cover the grill so once i get there and work out how much food is there I sh...

oh and because I cannot read 10 pages of ummmm stuff ... what time???

OK as feared (sorry Rollo) I have to look after the 2.5 year old SIT (Saint in Training) and this year this is no way I can just leave him tied to a shopping trolley while I clean the BBQ and cook up a storm so if I make it I shall come armed with some meat to throw onto the BBQ but 1) dont rely on ...

plugger66 - i respect your opinion but 3 and 20 (used well and put through the Eagles system) will go alright ...

Judd is brilliant PRE-injury ... so was Luke Ball.

No guarantees that Judd will recover to 100% capacity - he needs that acceleration from the standing start ... it may be gone.

In my opion Blues have overpaid for Judd and a draft pick worth nothing #3 - well this kid will probably be a champ in a very good draft year #20 - will be a decent player and could even be bteer than that + Kennedy - has a bright future and plays in a position that Eagles need Eagles have done well...

I would be sad to see Leigh Fisher go ... one of my favourite players

Thomas used him well ... Lyon trying to make him play different roles and sometimes leigh was a little lost BUT far from our worst ...

Dempster and Schneider better be friggin awesome
