Elusive Tunbridge

Viv was out of contract, Jayden wasn't. Not so staggering, really.

And you could question Jimmy's judgement in asking at all.

"Being in the real world kind of sucks sometimes, so as I’ve gotten older I knew I wanted to have a good crack at footy." He's either pretty smart, or Col Mk II.

Off-season sex change hasn't worked out well. Shattered.

No clue.

Maybe he's not just a pretty face, but that's going a bit far.

Distributing "like" like confetti on this thread. Demonland in "up" mode.

Yobs will be yobs.

I believe the AFL convention is that he can leave his contract at any time for a higher level position - i.e. head coach at another club.

Not as valuable as he thinks he is. I have loved the screamers, but I also used to love watching Sam Blease run.

Hawthorn may have won anyway, but those two goals from momentum-killing umpires' errors in the first quarter do raise a question. Now I expect a Hawthorn-Eagles GF, and I hope the Eagles win - not that I love the Eagles more, but I hate them less. Not interested enough to watch.

" "While we are always disappointed in any behaviour that upsets other fans or reduces the enjoyment of the game, it's important to remember that more than 41,000 people were at the game and nearly all of them were well behaved," Domain Stadium's general manager Gavin Taylor said in a statement. " This guy has the spin talent to succeed McLachlan. "Nearly all of them were well behaved" = "not very many committed prosecutable offences."

Pretty sure he'll get a one year contract. If he was to be cut, it would have happened with the others.

This board has been used for general AFL topics for a very long time without any objections I'm aware of. The No T$ No B$ Thread has been running for 4 years! And yet it's this thread you object to. I get it.

Michie clearly ahead of him for mine.

But he walks funny and doesn't smile enough. Are the coaches blind?

I also have little knowledge about football, and I welcome the like-mindless to the list.

So - 2 retired, 4 delisted, Van Demon and Chomps certain upgrades - leaves 4 spots. I don't think White will be upgraded immediately, but Terlich may be paid out, Matt J probably won't. Five spots plus a couple of rookies. It's reputedly not a deep draft, so I think a couple of picks will be included in trade deals. An active trade period for the Dees.

Classic HFF, comes from nowhere, swoops on the ball and belts it through.

Just reviewing 2015, he's led by example, showing terrific fortitude, persistence and optimism. His teammates have demonstrated how much they value this.

Might be worth giving him a go, if Goodwin likes him, but I expect Essendon to price him out of the market.

Not keen on Shorten myself - I'd prefer a socialist.

Nellie Melba, hogan's heroes, picket fence.

My taste for blood sports will best be served by an Abbott victory.

Leave the poor silly bugger alone. You know as soon as he raised "political correctness" nothing sensible or even rational was coming. For those who love the game, a national women's competition is a great idea and the year of MFC's next premiership is an entirely different matter.
