Im confused. did I just accept a bet that Dustin Fletcher will start on Liam McBean at $1.16? Not all-in. refunded if lean 'n mean doesnt play.

I'm confused too.
Anyways, I'd like to see the world's tallest small forward make his debut regardless of who plays on him or who he plays on, but I'm equally happy for the Richmond brains trust to say "he'll be snapped like a twig" so keep him for next season as well.
I wouldnt play him this week. last time we played the bummers it took Fletcher about 2 min to kick the opening goal with Lennon chasing about 50 mtrs behind. I reckon it would take him about half that with McBeasus on him.
I have a recurring nightmare.
It's 2007 and I'm at a Hawthorn press conference. Someone asks Clarkson about Lance Franklin, a high pick who's still playing seconds, despite plenty of goals and some eye catching performances.
'He'll get his turn when he starts to take more marks' Clarko says. 'He's six-six and we just can't justify a spot for a bloke that size who doesn't dominate in the air'.
I leave the presser and stop by Glenferrie Oval where I see young Buddy training. He's facing away from me when a ball is kicked over his head. When he turns in my direction I see Liam's face grinning and winking at me. I turn and run. Suddenly I'm in Primary School and everyone looks like Buddy. They run around me in a never ending wide arc, pointing and laughing. Then I look down and find I have no pants.
Dogma. It'll give you nightmares.

thats some kind of voodoo sh!t too, i reckon
everytime I dream of lean 'n mean, I have to stuff my pyjama pants right down the bottom of the dirty clothes basket. 8-
I blame Leysy for this.
So I've been to my shrink and he came up with a pretty comprehensive dream analysis. It went something like this:
'You're awakening to the idea that you can't just dryly analyse vital statistics and skillsets. Some blokes just bring their own thing. This is evolution; of ideas, of species, footy, everything. New, unexpected variants to move us forward. And who are we to create evolutionary cul-de-sacs?'
(good Tiger man, my shrink, but a bit grandiose)
I found the argument compelling. So compelling, in fact, that I'm rejecting Beanie as the messiah for a more Darwinian explanation. Now I'm still not convinced that Galapagos Boy should be played right now, but I hope he doesn't get pigeon-holed because he happens to be the 'wrong' size for what he brings.
I think I can feel a Ben Darrou dream coming on...

5 more goals and leading the VFL goal kicking if you don't mind.
Can't see him getting in this week either. Definitely earning his spot when it finally comes.

If we don't beat Adelaide, I would think he'll debut against St Kilda. Even last night I thought we could have done with one more key forward.
Don't mind that Beanie's learning his craft in the magoos, working on his defensive aspects as well as enjoying kicking a few bags. Prefer that to the prospect of watching him get smacked around like Pizza Daniher copped last night. Some of these long tall skinny pelicans need a bit of looking after rather than just lining them up to get hammered.
