teams have won premierships before without stars. That's all it simply meant.

Feel free to name a few in the last ~ 15 yrs or so.

im gonna say 2011, then its going to play out like this

Someone else: Bartel was a star

Me: he was good in the grand-final, he wasnt a star all year around

Someone else: his a brownlow winner, what more do you want

Me: Yes but he wasnt a star in the season that they actually won the grand final, it was more of an all round performance.

Then it will turn into the difference between what peoples opinions of A Grades are, Stars, Super Stars, Elite players, ect ect and this thread will be de-railed in an argument about something which has been done to death.

Just forget I said it.

Forget you said it? Hard to forget one of the stupidest things I've read on here.

If Patton knows there's money and can see a way of returning home to a solid club (yes, we'll have to make a climb up the ladder), it's just a matter of a key position player exchange and potentially a first round pick. Whoever fails to hold down a KP spot come Round 22 next year would be on the table. I'm thinking it could be one of our copious KPDs. If a player wants to leave and refuse to sign a contract, there's not much an AFL club can do. It couldn't happen to a grubbier bunch.

If thats the case I guess it would mean you don't proof read your posts

So troll please tell me me why explaining how someone reading into an opinion will de-rail the thread be a work of art?

One does not need to proof read perfection.

Olisik, DA and CIP are simply impressed how you can make a statement that you don't need any stars to win a Premiership and expressing this in your ability to produce "bubbles of nothing" substance to support your claim.

I think Sweet Puff summed it up well, don't you ?

Please don't respond I'm busy contacting emergency services to help you out of that hole you're in.

Firstly it was an opinion that a team of A grade players are more likely to win a premiership then a few stars and mediocre players and secondly i didnt want to go into to much detail into something which is not directly relevant to the thread and the fact that there is no chance of us getting Cameron or Patton, in future please dont try read into opinions to much in an attempt to derail the thread away from the point that its an idiotic idea to continue to ramble on about how good opposition players are when we have no hope in hell of getting them to melbourne. The simple point seems to be hurting your brain.

Troll. I've been called a lot of things on footy forums but never a troll. Nice one.

"Firstly it was an opinion that a team of A grade players are more likely to win a premiership then a few stars and mediocre players"

You didn't say that at all, but remarkably you're still wrong. Love to see this team of A grade players, none of whom are stars or mediocre. They must be Russian socialists all playing for a fixed wage.

Troll gets thrown around on here as the go-to whenever someone doesn't agree with another.

A troll is someone with an explicit, and usually pointless, agenda to annoy a person or a group of people.

For longtimers here think Old Xaverian.

For newbies, think the people that go around twitting to McLean that he should be delisted all day.

Firsts for everything ;)

I said it at a high level along with many other things in relation to Cameron and Patton and for some reason people chose to highlight one thing which has already been argued to death in other threads to dig deep and read into rather then continue talking about what this thread is actually about.

I would rather more A players like Watts and Trengove then to trade them for a Cameron.

Although he didn't say he should be delisted. But yes, one could argue the case that it was inferred.

He asked him whether 'he had finally been delisted?' so it wouldn't be a stretch to infer that he thinks he should be delisted...

Don't do it RP, it's not worth it.

Yes, that's what I said.

Although you didn't say 'it wouldn't be a stretch to infer.' But yes, one could argue the case that it's similar to 'one could argue the case it was inferred.'

Although you didn't say 'it wouldn't be a stretch to infer.' But yes, one could argue the case that it's similar to 'one could argue the case it was inferred.'

In fact, it would be fair to infer it's exactly the same, ergo, "Yes, that's what I said".

Not really, but I tell you what does. You providing a "full stop" very late in your post. Lack of oxygen does hurt the brain.

You know a thread has become pathetic when people become desperate enough to resort to using grammatical errors as a point of argument.

Its great that you payed attention to grade 2 English classes, if AD saw your post he may even call it a "Stroke of Genius"

But what a doozy that was...

Ok fork in, I'm done..

Cameron will be a star..

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea
