Would that be the 50 that Jesse never kicked?

I often find one vant is too many, why would anyone want an extra one.

It answer questions that you didn't know needed answering, like. If an eggplant really grew eggs chickens would be out of a job! Or if a catfish was really made of cats, then it might get chased by a dog. RRP $19.99 Bargain!

What about a bad player? Can they make a difference?

One out of two.

When I was studying marketing (a long time ago) they said that "We know that about half of all advertising works, but nobody knows which half"

Oh really!

Get it right, Esadun.

You want a 3rd tall to kick 50! Hogan never kicked 50. Only TMac in recent times has kicked 50 and we still have him. I think with less injuries next season our forward line will be much better. But dreaming of a 3rd tall to kick 50 is a dream.

How much did they want the data and to what end? My gut feeling is the outcome was considered fair to all parties, best move on rather than have real evidence of what happened with unknown future ramifications. The irony is that Essendon cannot claim deniability if some future heath horror arises as they have "lost" the evidence that they may depend on. I would bet my last dollar that accurate records of the entire drug program are safely stored away most likely by (rhymes with tank) as a leverage tool. If he should pass away I imagine a few copies may emerge.

There are no guarantees on any player, we live in hope.

So what is it that I do at the end of daylight savings?

Funny that we see footballers on TV and they look massive but when I have met them in person I am struck by how finely they are built. On TV Steven Tingay looked like a brick s4ithouse but when I met him he was in my opinion average height and lightly built. Max Gawn tall but a string bean, Scully - midget, Mark Jackson average body size but taller than me. Tapscott average height average size body. I have always thought that I could have run though any of them if I could catch them (no chance) So we probably need to compare footballers with footballers not with the average Australian, so you are right on Tapscott as a big bodied medium footballer built like a brick [censored] house, I still reckon I could take him. hahaha

I think the footy department may see some upside in Petty - Smith as KPF or even swing May forward.

Goals?

Mormon, Christian, Latter day Saints? I had no idea, thought he could be mercenary though.

No way. We need this guy! There is (sic) no way we need this guy I'm guessing you want him? Or not!

What does what they paid have to do with true value?

Great stats Nev, averages 8.6 mks, 3.2 tcks and 12 goals 10 behinds per game! Hard to imagine kicking 12 goals 10 behinds from 16 disposals though.

George Santayana said "Those that cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it" How many early draft picks have Gold Coast had? Where are they on the ladder? Is it working? If I put water in a tank and it is leaking, should I keep putting water in or fix the leak? These questions are not ground breaking or new, why the hell have the AFL not addressed the problem? Fix the leaks first!

A two thirds vote of the 18 clubs can veto any AFL decision. Maybe it's time for the clubs to sack the commission and start again.

I believe that Ross Lyon acted without the knowledge of his manager (His manager also managed Mark Harvey) and that there are no restrictions to coach movement. (The deal took ten days from initial contact until announced - according to Michael Warner Herald Sun) So it is possible that only two people knew about it and they weren't talking, unlike players with managers and multiple teams and a whole raft of rules. It is not the best comparison. Edit:- https://www.heraldsun.com.au/sport/afl/how-coach-ross-lyon-moved-from-st-kilda-to-fremantle/news-story/d905c681affa633013f40fd8e250ad66

Unlike you I will answer your question. He is letting the player know that he is valued. It is a feel good thing to say that means exactly nothing, it will not affect his value. I enjoy your posts Rusty and I am sure so do many others. Now are you a better or more worthwhile poster? No, but it might make you feel good.
