Darcy is injury prone and has not had one 6/8 matches year missed in his career. Best to recruit Jacko and his Mum back. Sorry for this stupid post but let’s be serious let’s get Tracy or Serong or Andrew Brayshaw or two of them for Kossie if he ever goes to Freo. 1 Quote

The Taciturn Demon 624 Posted January 26 Posted January 26 13 hours ago, greenwaves said: It's a bit like the AFL celebrating its centenary in 1996 when in fact the centenary was actually in 1997. 1996 was the hundredth year of the VFL/AFL, but a centenary isn't the hundredth year, a centenary is when a hundred years has been completed. So in 1996 only ninety-nine years had completed. I don't read replies or reactions They had to sneak it in before they murdered Fitzroy. 1 2 Quote
old dee 24,083 Posted January 26 Posted January 26 Well it seems Kossie has been posting his desire to return to WA. I am so tired of footballers signing contracts and then not wanting to fulfill the contracts. Can you imagine the stink if a club wanted to end a contract against the players desire. 4 1 Quote
Bring-Back-Powell 15,552 Posted January 26 Posted January 26 If (this year) they introduce future draft picks 2 years in advance, then this unfortunately will make a trade more workable/flexible if Kozzie is so desperate to leave. Freo will only give us draft picks. No chance we’ll be getting a Darcy, Brayshaw, Serong or Young as Freo will want to improve their list rather than going sideways. On the matter of Kozzie liking Freo posts, I didn’t see the issue in him liking the fact that his relative was trying out for the club. The other “likes” were obviously awkward. 2 Quote

Rounds 1-3 will be instructional in to what a post Kozzie era could look like (although in fairness Mentha or even George might be Kozzie’s replacement and they obviously won’t be ready) 1 Quote

Speaking of, it must annoy the christ out of Jesus every year. Then again, since the 'restart the clocks, the saviour is in the house' mob missed the mark by a few years anyway, he's probably given up on ever blowing out the right number of candles. 2 Quote

It's a fact and not a matter of anybody's opinion. rather than it's a "fact" i'd prefer to call it a proscribed convention that just represents one "solution" to an accepted anomaly caused by the real fact that there is a missing year 1bc to 1 ad. i.e. -1 to +1 is 2 years not 1. that's the hoary bit 1 1 Quote
george_on_the_outer 7,875 Posted January 26 Posted January 26 There will be a lot of trade movement this year with the advent of 2 year forward trading. GC already has 5 first round picks, Essendon 4 to offer other clubs already. There weren’t too many players who didn’t get to where they wanted last year, contracted or not. Those like Petracca couldn’t because others didn’t have the trade capital, especially late in the trade period. Every list manager at every club will be clearing salary space and working how to accumulate picks for this trade period. There will be a lot of big names mentioned in the lead up, ones people think would never be an option. 2 Quote

How could there be? nothing wrong with maths. -1 + 1 year is 0. (not 1) When old mate jc celebrated his 1st birthday and became a 1 year old the silly calendar clicked over to 2ad at exactly the same time. How could it be 2 years anno domini (after christ)? A contradiction, right? normal time convention is to measure at the end of the time interval. Look at a clock the 12 is positioned at the end of the 12 hour, not the start. Same with years, hours, minutes etc. the proscribed century convention (century ends on end of xx01) is at odds with normal time convention. It was just a convention to hide an anomaly caused by ignorance in the first place. don't blame me, you started this and i did warn you it was an old hoary chestnut 1 Quote
daisycutter 30,021 Posted January 27 Posted January 27 so @demonstone, I take it by your emoji reactions and your odd attempt at maths that you are not convinced? Quote
