Now what was it Trent Croad did?

Red that would be a different joke and one regularly used by a late friend Master Evans.

Kent is a county not a country. reminds me of an old joke. What do you call the ruler of a principality - Prince What do you call the ruler of a kingdom - King What do you call the ruler of a country - ScoMo

Someone - a Melbourne listed player (probably Weideman) They - Weideman or other Melbourne listed players like Preuss or Frost, Smith Few - more than one. I expect whoever takes Hogan's place will kick at least 1-2 goals per match. (Hogan 2.1) My point being that we are not 50 goals a season worse off and we will defend better. I expect our percentage to be better next season.

Lost 50 goal plus! Hogan has not kicked 50plus in a season. I imagine someone will replace Hogan and they should kick a few. So it is wrong to say we lost 50 goals.

Missing friends in Melbourne. Freo have said he is able to be in Melbourne midweek on compassionate grounds. Had a coffee & a dart with Goodwin, discussed coming home to Melbourne if a deal could be worked out

I would like to suggest that those asking for a thread to be closed be banned for 1 month. If the thread is going after the month ban them for life. There are too many killjoys in life, don't come here if you don't like it. It is not compulsory.

Is that near Cairo? BINGO!

There's a gist? Demented ramblings perhaps, but a gist!

Didn't know you plucked your eyebrows Colin!

I love the idea of two monster rucks that can take the odd mark and kick the odd goal. All other sides have to reconsider how to play us particularly with our midfield being so good. We have removed a weak spot and provided valuable relief/ back up for the Gawn. If playing forward they can get a goal a match each, or dropping back cut off a goal we are a much better side.With the new rules I think we are very well placed to usher in the new era of two full time ruckmen.

Waiting for the posters wailing "should have got 2 first rounders for Hogan or tell them to get stuffed". "I could have got 2 first rounders for Hogan he was under contract FFS" And from an independent reporter (total jerk) "A risky yet genius move." I have a feeling that the tough guy posters have not been any any meaningful negotiations in their lives. Mahoney 8/10 - I never give 10

Could be brutal. New club rule. No killing teammates at training.

Your opinion. Strangely with the current recruiting /trade team our side has improved yearly, finished top 4 this year and is now a favorite for next years flag. My opinion is that they are going OK. I suppose the difference is that the results I measure are based on the ladder not chest beating rites at the trade table.

The thing with May is that I think he will make all the other defenders walk taller, be more confident and less likely to be intimidated. Reminds me of a Big Byron. He and Jetta will be rocks.

I don't think he cares. He is a strange cat.

I want to win a flag! I don't care about highest ever goal kickers.

Preuss - Gawn

Better than Hogan getting one.

For Freo, with Ross Lyon coaching....not much chance.

Yes that's clarified things!

k2 I like it, well done.

So do you think we will be a worse side next year with no Hogan but May & KK in? Think about our wins without Hogan then answer. Edit: How many more wins if we had had May? 2 = top 4 finish

What did we get for a forward never played more than 17 games in a season with a dodgy foot?
