Great picture dd. Like what you've done with Bellchambers. Is Dempsey not wanted and unliked in the team since he seems to be trying to get away from them?
Dempsey is much loved at Pakenham......for now. He does like to go walk about though, not sure if captain Nick approves of this, hence the cold shoulder. We are eagerly awaiting the arrival of 6 more stellar recruits, they will cushion up nicely next to Cortney and bring the team together.
Players available: UNTOUCHABLE: Beams, Barlow, Sidebum, Hogan, Viney, Carlisle, Ablett WILL CONSIDER: Simpson, Darley, Dempsey, N.Riewoldt,Day, Pyke, Higgins, Lamb, M.Crouch AVAILABLE: Polec, Bellboy, Gorringe I will update as my mood sways
With the horns tooting and the drums banging the celebrations have started in Pakenham. The big arrival of one G.Ablett has certainly exploded the lid off the place. All the fans are at fever pitch with the news of the big trade recently. We are saddened to lose 3 players who were fitting in nicely with theteam but the news about who is arriving has definitely eased the pain from the squad. I think our list management team has there hands out for apay rise already. All players and staff are super happy with how it has all worked out. Go the Parasites!!

Pakenham are very pleased to have finished the trade and MSD period. The fans are super happy with the outcome of all the happenings. We were sad to see juniors Crouch and Polec leave but bringing some royalty in helps ease the pain. We think the team has improved and are well stocked to make a tilt at the title.

Round11 BnF votes 5. Ablett 4. Beams 3. Goddard 2. Shaw 1. Barlow Good to see BJ and Shaw poll votes in their first games for the club.
Round 12 BnF votes 5. Ablett 4. Beams 3. Barlow 2. MacKay 1. Roo A horrible game against the Goon but votes must be given
Round 13 BnF votes 5. BJ 4. Bud 3. Shaw 2. Ablett 1. Barlow A painful loss to the top team but votes were still given. Good to see top 3 players were recent recruits to the club, also Ablett with a poor game still 4th best for the club, I think that coupled with my new recruits is a worrying signfor the rest of my team, itreminds me of the saints back in the day, my bottom half players kill me andare in terrible form at the minute, wont win a flag like that !
Round 14 BnF votes 5. Ablett 4. Bud 3. BJ 2. Barlow 1. Beams Another loss, 3 in a row now. A worrying sign with the main names doing something and the other duds doing nothing again. Outclassed and outplayed by a better xmas island unit. In desperate need of some scoring from my lesser half players to give me a chance going forward. On a bright note, happy to see Bud and BJ both hitting some good formand Ablett back to his best. Leading players after 14 rounds 49. Ablett 30. Beams 13. Roo 12. Sidebum Barlow 11. BJ 8. Simpson Bud 5. Shaw 4. Higgins 2. Mackay Carlisle Ablett with a seemingly insurmountable lead at this stage in both club and league best player. BJ played 4 games and racing up the leader board
