  1. We're dating the hottest girl in class- stop thinking she's gonna dump you and enjoy her while she's yours!
  2. I would probably have all of them in the 22 Round 1 2016...
  3. Only fair that Brayshaw gets the Norm Smith after Hogan gets the Rising Star. Sharing is caring.
  4. Well done Jesse! One can never take the Rising Star Award too seriously - just take it for the bit of fun that it is. With that said, he is the most talented Demon since Schwarz; he will win us a lot lot of games off his own boot.
  5. Is this suggesting that decent, tolerant, kind human beings, who go about their business accepting people for who they are, not what the happen to look like are not entitled to be disgusted by the backward, ignorant and vile racism that flashes it's face at times in this country? Unless you've donated money or joined a protest march, you can't express your disappointment at the discriminatory opinions of others?? Voicing your objection is how change comes about.
  6. I think it's very difficult to measure the effectiveness and necessity of a ruckman by statistics alone. Yes, Sandilands won the overwhelming majority of taps and Freo only shaded Adelaide in the clearances. However, suppose Jacobs wasn't there to apply the physical pressure to Sandi? Those taps would have been essentially uncontested and would have been easily directed the right down the throat of Fyfe, Barlow, Mundy and co. In many cases you need your ruckman to make a contest and apply pressure to the hitout.
  7. There is nothing attractive about the way he plays his football. He hits packs hard, he takes one grab marks and he kicks goals. Nothing pretty, but very effective. Well done Cam- Full Forward is your spot to lose for the remainder of 2015.
  8. 1) I would suggest that Port have a more dangerous array of tall attacking options than WB. Our backline clicked last week and Fitz was one of our stronger talls. Since when do we select by horses for courses? You select your best team to play and win the match on your terms. 2) Viney and Jetta were deemed fit to play. 3) Newton is slow and Riley is even slower. If you think they would have been the difference yesterday, you are mistaken. We would have been sliced and diced by Port's runners with even more devastating effect.
  9. Yes... That's kind of why I wrote it...
  10. Perhaps they're afraid? Look how certain sections of our community react when an indigenous man speaks up for his people.
  11. Why can't indigenous people just assimilate? Blend in? Disappear? Just be whiter?? No one would boo if he just acted whiter...
  12. Goodes is booed because he was Australian of the Year and he didn't toe the party line and chant 'Aussie, Aussie, Aussie!' He said some truths that made s lot of people very angry to hear. An absolute champion of the game and a great of the modern era.
  13. It's the detail that makes this such a compelling argument...
  14. Really happy with the extension! Well done to Jack and well done to the MFC for sticking with a loyal servant of the club.
  15. Hysteria is taking hold! The longer the week goes on, the worse we played last weekend!!
  16. The premise of the thread is based on an incorrect assumption that we wont win 3 more games. As stated previously, we have played 2 teams outside of the top eight... and have beaten them both comprehensively.
  17. Very true. There has been huge improvements in the last 18 months but it's hard to see that with the injuries and draw we've had for the last month. We've played two teams outside of the top 8 this year- and beaten them both.
  18. If it makes you feel any better Jarrad Grant went one pick after Morton and Robbie Tarrant one pick after Grimes. Some big busts in that first round.
  19. To get someone of the calibre of Shiel or even Kelly, GWS would want Tom McDonald. Tall defenders are the only weakness in their list.
  20. On weight of numbers and form at Casey, Riley looks ready to step back into the seniors. Unfortunately though he adds none of the pace that we so desperately need! We're really missing Kent and Frost's dash and may have to keep Bail in the team.
  21. I don't disagree entirely. I do see SOMETHING there though. I'd like to see one more year on the list - he has zero trade value anyway. (Not to mention there's still two thirds of this year remaining)
  22. They go alright running repeat twenty yard sprints in 40 degree heat for days on end. The blame the diet outrage in this thread is baseless. The comment was that 'fad diets' have no place in professional, elite sport. There are however many examples where special 'fad' diets have very positive effects on elite sports men and women.
  23. Australian Cricket team have been going alright the last 18 months...
  24. So essentially, Neale Daniher's request for the 'toughest player in the draft' in 2001. We overlooked quite a few skinny, talented blokes for Luke Molan.
