    There has been some quality HTBs in the last 24hrs on here, this is up there!

    As to your OP... his body of work suggests he would have for right in this year at Melb but I would hope we are past a J Watts.

    Admin, can we merge this with the 'Get Izzy Falou' thread?

    Must confess that I was open to having Scully back on the basis of minimum pay and a one year deal which is what I understand Hawks paid. Okay he didn't star but he was a very useful player.

    We took KK instead as our project player and well..............

    Bookmark it.

    Basically, the Trent Croad trades all over again. Or even better, the Chris Tarrant trades.

    It wasn't really a choice between the two though was it? Scully was never coming back even if we wanted him too.

    Indeed !

    The thrust of your thread has altered somewhat Jim. However, I reckon men discussing breast possibilities is a sensible Sunday arvo option.

    Especially when one's footy team is [censored] and the cricket doesn't start for a few hours!

    As the cricket tension rises, there is still relief in watching the Vuelta wend its way through the vineyards, orchards and captivating villages of Spain.

    Ironically he's the exact player we're screaming out for. That last kick into the forward 50.

    That bit's correct. The problem, though, is that he has to get the ball before he kicks it and that's the bit that was his problem.

    I think that problem is somewhat overstated by the emotional bias that some punters on this forum have against Jack.  Paul Roos got some decent output from Jack as both a defender and forward during his time as coach, it was only until Goodwin took the reins that Jack's game seemed to fall apart on the field.

    Not only was Jacks ability to find team mates by foot pretty elite, he was/is one of the most accurate shots for goal in the league, which is an area that we fell over in massively at times this year.

    I'm surprised this topic didn't come up earlier for us this season.

    Do you remember one of his tweets on the way out. Paraphrasing but "I guess they don't want players that can kick after all"

    The notion of a sinner returning to the path of righteousness and godliness always does that to me.

    Thanks for that lesson in humility Rusty!

    It seems I pick cricket teams about as well as I pick footy teams!

    Haha sorry uncle.  All in good jest.  I thought the same yesterday!

    As for footy teams dw, i know the feeling all too well!

    As dedicated minions being flogged on a regular basis is something we appear destined to endure.

    • AFLW: 2025 Season Preview

      Ten seasons. Eighteen teams. With the young talent pathway finally fully connected, Women’s Australian Rules football is building momentum and Season 2025 promises to be the best yet. In advance of Season 10, the AFL leadership has engaged in candid discussions with all clubs regarding strategies to boost attendance and expand fan bases. Concerningly, average attendances in 2024 were 2,660 fans per match, with the women’s game incurring an annual loss of approximately $50 million.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

    • PREGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Western Bulldogs

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
