Uncle Fester

Glad I got to watch him in the red and blue, and wish him all the best in the future (except when he plays us... then I want to see duck eggs on the stat sheet).

I miss looking at the scoreboard and seeing: A 1.7 B 2.5 Then going through the record to find out who the hell A & B are.

I guess they don't want him after all

Kim Jong-un

Then that is their problem. It shouldn't be ours.

Then GTFO. Personally I'd like to see us give Jesse a year at CHB. If it doesn't work, it doesn't work and he goes back to WA. And if Tmac goes down we have a ready made forward to take his spot. Freo is lowballing us. @#$% them. Let them grow their own players, and if they can't then let them pay overs. Same as they do to other teams.

5 and their 1st next year or GTFO. I don't rate May btw, so if that falls over so be it.

Then we wait until next year. In the meantime we lowball GC and see if they bite. If they don't then so be it.

I say we tell them to go blow a goat and work on getting into the top end of the draft in other ways. Deals are being done as we wait for these dimwits to play there games.

Most sensible post I've seen in the whole thread.

I'd be making calls if I was in the MFC recruiting staff.

Thinking the same. Maybe it was a thanks but no thanks meeting after he'd seen and heard everything. Or maybe it is just fugazi from the Purples to stop 24 hours of vitriol on talkback. Maybe it's that the want a 2nd round pick for Neale to keep them in the top end of the draft. What I can guess at that is that if they lose Neale and don't get Hogan then Lyon and a lot of his back up will be looking for new jobs around June. That can only help in our negotiations with them or Jesse

We want him to commit long term, but if he doesn't then we want full value. That's it and that is all. May can be done with or without Jesse.

Deep Heat?

What is this we business, white man?

I can't say I'm that fussed. If he goes we will do well out of it. If he stays we will do well out of it. I have (for the first time in a very long time) faith in the people running the club.

Whatever happens now and in the future, he is one of the guys that we should always look back on as those that dragged us out of the mud. Thanks Bernie. You did us proud.

There was. We learned that he may or may not be a good player, that he did or didn't win a B&F, and that WCE fans may or may not be shocked on hearing those (possible) facts.

I'm Spartacus, and so is my wife

Serious? You need to go back and have a look at his post draft interview with Tracc. He was the class clown there. A bit of competition for Gawny I thought at the time. But maybe he isn't enjoying things right now. He knows he's too good to be hanging out in the magoos, and has had a shocking run with the concussions. I'd be feeling a bit deflated too, but that will change the next time he is in the seniors and gets to sing the song.

Even better reason to bugger off to an island - preferably one without extradition treaties.

My two are well on the way to costing me 100K each. Oh, you meant football. Probably less $wise, but emotionally...

I love the use of the plural in premierships. Arrogance and talent can be an exciting mix. Pledging his loyalty to Melbourne, Petracca expressed how important it was for him to remain a one-club player. “It means everything. The club put faith in me as an 18-year-old kid and drafted me, and all I want to do is repay that faith,” he said. “That’s by winning premierships and staying at the club for as long as I can."

Balls. They would have beaten Sydney in the 2005 SF but for the Nick Davis show. Maybe they were dodgy in 2007+, maybe not, but to say it was an overnight thing is to rewrite history.
