chook fowler

Bye Mitch. Every time I see a monkeys arse I'll think of you.

Ah the arrogance of youth. Cut him some slack. he's only 18 and aggression and cockiness go together. Makes me more interested in him. Rough edges can be dealt with later,

Must say Frosts highlights package was impressive.

6 to 8 wins.

It is what it is.

Evans and McKenzie may go despite being contracted.

Typical Roos - target players for specific roles and don't get too hung up about numbers. Makes sense to me.

The trading isn't the province of just one person. A whole group is involved so you can't hang it all on Josh. Too soon to call doom and gloom.

Be very surprised to be offered 5/6 for him. I like him but he's not that good so I don't see the point in trying to trade him.We would probably get a second round pick and for that he's a keep.

Interesting he has distanced himself from the press and social media and wants his footy to do the talking. Seems very focused with a burning desire to succeed. He's won me over.

Can't understand the anti Howe sentiment. Thought he had a good year overall in defence. I believe the plan is to return him up forward next season now that Lamumba is available to play across half back. He has been one of the few players to provide any highlights and make watching enjoyable the past few years. I would hate to see him traded.

I really think that's sensible to wait for free agency next year. Let's face it we won't be contenders in 2015 and we will know more about Toumpas, Salem and Kent. There is plenty of upside with Hunt and Harmes and Viney hopefully will be fitter and injury free. Cross, Jones, Vince and Tyson provide some seniority and leadership. Goodwin is a midfield specialist coach and will bring on the group nicely. Stretch and picks 2,3 and 21 are waiting in the wings. Can't understand the negativity on this forum.

I believe wishing someone ill will is bad Karma. Looks like I'll be spending my next life as a flea on a monkeys arse.

I'm quite satisfied with that result. Not keen on paying overs for anyone.

Still have never wanted anybody to fail miserably as much. ( as Clark )

Scully and Clark are synonyms for deceit and Pecksniffs.

Hopefully this is just the entree with main course and dessert to come.

He needs a good feed.

I know I'm a troglodyte and irreversibly welded to the past but I would much rather draft and develop our own kids. Spend the money that would go on high profile players on development coaches a la Voss at Port - Brendan McCartney comes to mind. May not play finals as quickly but success would be more sustained and supporters are able to have the pleasure of watching good talent come on.

I hope someone is checking out his feet.

That photo was taken last week.

Like others I am full of admiration for his attitude and resolve as shown in his tweet. Really hope he gets through this but it really is a nasty injury that must raise doubts about the structural integrity of his navicular.

Plan B Brayshaw and Petracca looking good. Wouldn't be unhappy with that. All the best Jack, you didn't deserve this.

We should range a meet up with Guru Bob down at the Temple.

I agree, Trengove won't be let go unless it's part of some big deal about to unfold.
