Thanks for your analysis @ProDee

i don't have any - walk me through it.

@ProDee- elaborate why 'they' wont try it often. What's the logic behind that from your persepctive? On this - my thoughts are - that surely Preuss wouldn't have come if he was continuing to be a bit part player and surely the FD didn't offer him something that they're not going to commit to? (form warranted).

I miss Ricky Pettard....

oooh sexy - our program is cutting edge. anyone have intel on what the paradigm shift is? Let's touch base, going forward and get distruptive, as I can see all the low hanging fruit in the pipeline. I guess we need to leverage our assets and move the needle and think outside the box to synergise our 360degree thinking. So I'd love to pick your brain and take a deep dive.

Merry Christmas to all. Particularly to the mods. I only stumbled across this two years ago and it's nice to be in a community (yes it provide community) about a passion of mine. To the rest, keep up the amusing, informative and insightful (mostly) input. Let's see if we can keep the forum flamewars to a minimum in 2019

It's been spoken about elsewhere - all selections were to be spaced out for 5 minutes as a directive, irrespective if you were clear on your decision immediately. Appreciate your opinion on the quality of the viewing, I for one don't care for it - and thousands of others would say that both you and I are wrong. People vote with their time and their money and it's all their discretion.

So with Charlie Spargo nicknamed Jack Sparrow - what do we call this guy?

Current classic thank gawd... Previous classics include Jordan Gysberts and Lucas Cook, oh and Tom Gilles.

we're just a feeder team now to the cashed up clubs ?

oh, so two from two then...normal service resumed.

I didn't believe you - but you are right... I wonder how many of those gimme's goals he sprayed, even if 75% were converted would have topped up his goal tally for the year... https://www.footywire.com/afl/footy/ft_player_compare?playerStatus1=A&tid1=12&playerStatus2=A&tid2=5&type=A&pid1=4041&pid2=4043&fid1=S&fid2=S

go on, throw a tasty morsel... ?

I've worked out your real identity - you're either the Dali Lama, or E.Kant.

Jeez I feel this is an insensitive comment. He is prioritising his well being at this particular juncture in his life, and that includes 'going home' for all the wellbeing that move will give him, whilst he is still pursuing a career in the industry that he can command a great salary in. Also, the league is so tight, that Freo could comfortably make finals within the next 3 years (as could any team bar Carlton)...in which case they're in the premiership window to use common vernacular. I think it is such a reductionist statement.

Erm, slowly getting drunk in a pub in the Orkney islands on a sunday afternoon when I was a wee lad of 22, in 03' In walks a couple my parents age... get talking , from australia, "whereabouts" "adelaide" "oh, me, I'm from Melbourne....that Andrew Mcloud goes alright" "yeah, we don't follow adelaide - we're melbourne supporters" ....a few more drinks...turns out they had been at my parents wedding in country vic in 1968..and hadn't spoken since!

ugh...there was no effing alternative was there... FFS - let it go, he did not want to be within the 4 walls of the melbourne football club.

A whisper that it was player led... and my point being far less about Jesse, and far more about the incumbents.

I need some acknowledgement - I'm sure roughly 150 pages ago in a somewhat drunken stupor, I said we'd hit 500 on this thread... ps: some entertaining questions re: Hogan tonight sorted for PJ @Demonland???

Thanks Jesse you got us to finals, you gave us hope, and you can move on to a cruisier life in Freo potentially. A whisper was this was player led re: professionalism and standards...so as some people say he didn't buy into Melbourne FC, maybe not quite the case, just who Melbourne FC now want to be. All the best JH for whatever comes next.

1. That doesn't need to be public consumption - we don't deserve to know why, it's irrelevant. 2.The genuine attempt to keep someone begins from day one of entry into the club... and if someone STILL doesn't want to be there, then it's not because of the genuine attempts...

Fun game this one... are you linking KK to the May trade? or do you see it separately?

That @Whispering_Jack's gag mate

Bit rough on Mr and Mrs Lever there . As a Dr, @Dr. Gonzo you lean to the nature side rather than the nurture eh ? ?
