In Harmes Way

Also a key change WB is the message sent by Goodwin to the whole list when he dumped Watts - he is emphasising and standing behind standards over talent. Hopefully this mindset improves our first quarter performances this year, this in particular was a real concern last year.

Gives you more travel time to get over and watch it?

Hasn’t the wheel turned full circle - we used to hope for players to come, now we hope the ones we’ve got will stay. This is great news.

We can now safely move on from the made up stuff SWYL, alteady throwing darts at that trophy.

I’m just hoping we’ve won a flag by then SWYL.

I remember that game vs Port Adelaide - it was a beautiful Saturday afternoon and the first time I saw Troy Broadbridge running around. The boys in the outer gave a loud encouraging “BROADY” every time he got a kick. Great win, great day, sad loss.

In guessing you’re writing this in the car on the way home from a VFL finals match last year?

Spot on in my case WJ. I couldn’t talk my boy (12) into it once he found out it was at the G. We’ve been to the last 4-5 at Luna Park so he was looking forward to the rides as well. Kids are a bit spoiled these days. I’d have given my left knacker at his age to have a chat, photo and autograph with the dees players.

You’ve both been through a lot Mark, im sure it was meaningful to you both. Funny pic of the kids!

Yep, I’d get out of bed for that kind of coin.

The AFL just love tinkering with the rules. I can see the Health and Safety police division getting up in arms and then hey presto they’re all wearing helmets. Might as well give them padding and let them throw the ball as well. the game has been played for 160 years without helmets, but this won’t count for jack. ([censored], not Watts)

They’ll shut that loophole down now that you’ve announced it. People get paid for doing that!!

I have no interest in watching non dees games. Only GWS out of these sides worries me at all. We’ll smash the rest of them.

I can see two explanations for this: 1. His thyroid, which has been giving him grief, is in his neck (close enough) 2. He got hit on the head with a brick at the boot camp last yr. maybe there have been side effects?

Talking about "doing a Richmond" - this article penned on the Roar last week is definitely worth a read. http://www.theroar.com.au/2018/02/20/one-opposition-team-can-dream-copying-richmond/ I like the cut of his jib. I especially liked his commentary on Tom Bugg.

Might need to start a Billy Stretch thread as well, I’m getting confused as to who we’re talking about. I need a coffee.

That’s what the website says dc

My 12 yo son would say Hogan. Loves a goal kicker, my boy.

He mentioned Jamie Bennell last year despite the fact he hadn’t played with us for at least three years. So I wouldn’t be surprised. At all.

What - his brain?

Apologies mate, could have sworn it was you (even looked like your avatar)

I like yours Andy....Get it out! please.

No, obviously a different one!

Ding, jlt games are only on Foxtel or AFL live pass (Telstra subscribers should get this free)

Unfortunate for a host of guys who stood up that are going to have to make way for Viney, Garlett etc. fierce competition for spots. Ripper
