Gipsy Danger

Russell Robertson made a career out of doing that

Max Gawn is my new favourite player. Got the right balance of ability and impact on that and the novelty factor

Way ahead of you

I have faith in Maxy, he'll come good. Big preseason and no injuries, he'll take the number 1 ruck spot by next year. If he got delisted just watch how quickly other clubs fight over his signature.

If you wanna waste your money I'll take a cheque

I'd be surprised to see the Toump on the play again in the senior team this year. You can lose a lot of conditioning after a surgery like that. Best thing for him would be to look towards the pre season and start fresh. Maybe get in the last 2 games at Casey

Would that suggest that Pedo was in line to be dropped next game anyway?

Any word on the Toump? Back in the rehab group or at the club at all after his appendix flare up?

Bontempelli was against the Pies. been 3 this year, had 5 against us in 2012

The kid was a monster back then. Pretty sure a slab of jimmy black was part of his match payment for a while there

Its a fair point that elite footballers should not miss goals that any country footballer would slot through any day of the week. That's not a dig at any one player but AFL footballers in general. Have a look at any other goal kicking sport. Rugby league and union, the blokes taking the kicks either as a field goal or converting a tri rarely miss. Pro soccer player taking a penalty kick rarely miss the goals completely. NFL kickers or punters that miss can just about find themselves out of the job! AFL goal kicking is no better at the set shot then any competition in the country. Its the only part of the game that has not improved with the sport growing in professionalism. If anything it has probably gone backwards. Goal kicking conversion is disgusting. I really doubt we will ever see a 1000 career goal kicker again let alone 100 in a season just because players don't go back and put them through the big sticks. I really think it is a huge problem that the clubs just don't seem to be doing anything about. All clubs need a dedicated goal kicking coach

I played junior footy with Shane Mumford. He got a free kick in the goal square once, dead in front and hit the post. That was [censored] funny

And that's another one. Darcy Gardiner from the lions is the latest rising star nominee against melbourne.

Shouldn't matter who the player is. He is a Melbourne player and the other 17 Melbourne players on the ground should have responded. Long over due for Hawthorne style line in the sand. I don't care how politically incorrect it is, this club needs to show some heart.

We might struggle to field a team next week then

Jack watts and our second first round pick to GWS for Patton or Boyd

Why why why why why why why why why why why why why????!!!! Why the hell do we continue to support this side? What have they even given us for our loyalty?

But he is gone, nothing will change that. Why still cry about what cant be changed?

Seriously everyone its time to get over it and move on. Three years is enough! He is not the first guy to leave for money and damn well won't be the last. Anyone who gets paid to do anything and then gets an offer to do it somewhere else for a lot more money would take it. The kid took hold of the greatest opportunity a 20 year old would ever get and good luck to him. Anyone who says they wouldn't do the same is lying to them selves.

Why were Freo wearing their clash strip at a home game? I thought Carlton had an all white strip themselves. Home team should always wear home colours and be up to the visiting team to have an appropriate clash strip. Even if it means having more then one possible clash jumper

Stringer is still eligible. Played 10 games up to the start of this year same as Patton. The AFL just wants the giants to look relevant.

Have to be under 21 at the 1st of January the year of nomination and played less then games prior to the season. Can play every game for the year and still be eligible providing he was eligible round one Just snuck in I think

just got a notification from the club confirming

The fact that anyone is not digusted by the idea of finishing last just highlights the pathetic culture that infected this club including its supporter base
