  1. Grimes should've been given a ten year contract.
  2. I'd say I'm more right than you. Look at all sports "curses" and they pertain to the person invovled, not a description behind it. Sports Curses The "curse of the bambino" is not called the curse of the Red Sox trading Babe Ruth to the Yankees. The MFC curse refers to what happened to Norm Smith and it's subseqeuent "impact" on the MFC - hence it's the curse of Norm Smith. And as to your last point, my mummy thinks I'm cool.
  3. Davey is becomming pretty much everything you'd want from a top 6 pick. I can't see the logic in trading him for something you would hope to find in a top 6 pick.
  4. And Norm Smith didn't curse the MFC, the board that sacked him did - hence the curse of Norm Smith.
  5. I took the thread by the title - another delisting poll. I find it fairly innane conversation if we're talking about things that we do not think will happen. I could just as easily say, hey, we've grown our list size to 50 and all could say - not going to happen. You cannot seriously compare Newton, Bell etc. to Woewodin, a Brownlow Medalist who was let go as much for how much we were paying him as much as what was happening to his football. The Woey scenario also underlines why clubs are reticent to do it because we had to continue paying so much of his salary. Likewise the Carroll scenario. Completely irrelevant with these players as Carroll had himself made his position at the MFC untenable and agreed to be let go as much to save face as anything else. And please, this tripe about Y_M "influencing" those who have a go at Bruce is utterly ridiculous. Why is it always about Bruce? Have those that have a problem with Miller been influenced by Freak? People are able to form opinions on their own, it's a magical thing.
  6. There are two things to this clip: First, he couldn't make the distance from 35 out on his right; Second, thank god he didn't!
  7. But there's not a maximum age for which you can register for the draft. I do see my blunder!
  8. It's a bigger range than 12 months isn't it? The bottom age has been brought up by 4 months though hasn't it? Essentially leaving out at least 1/4 of the potential candidates.
  9. It always has. I even brought it up to the missus tonight, saying how it's funny that last time it was brought up here on Demonland there was a massive kerfuffel.
  10. Wish this was in two years ago, we could've got Jack Grimes in the PSD
  11. And we come in off a pair of goalless quarters against them.
  12. We won't need to draw a line in the sand when we're 10 goals up B)
  13. My second sad stat for the week: In the last 3 years of his career, Matthew Whelan will have played in two victories.
  14. I'll be happy with inspired recruiting across any race.
  15. Testing potential AFL players' ability to kick? Surely it's unnecessary.
  16. COME ON YOU SPURS! Where's Daiblo?
  17. Didn't Richo get another year?
  18. That Mclean has been poor this year.
  19. That after every loss our team is the worst ever seen and the coach should go and after every win, we'll probably beat Carlton and St Kilda.
  20. Really should've left it to the 25 other threads that deal with the topic. It's a pretty poor list as many of them are contracted, one has been told that he will no longer be on the list next year, one (Bruce) even if uncontracted would be kept on because he would move onto the Veteran's list and at my count 2 (Valenti, Spencer) of the rookies must now either be promoted or let go.
