@Skuit - what's Adelaide list management position? What is their prioritising from a financial perspective? Perhaps they're resigned to losing him due to his partner resigning and wanting to come back (could be rumour of course) - perhaps it is a fait accompli that he returns - its no longer about oweing clubs respect due to development as a young player, these are purely pragmatic times. Irrespective of financial offers, its about your values as an individual - closer to home (connections, family, community) vs the brotherhood of one club that nurtured you - even though this is fundamentally replaceable (see Dangerfield, Mayne, et al). Either way there is benefit and cost - personally, I'd join the Dees rather than a small town hick team from Radelaide, from a 'values' based perspective,

#zanotti reporting that he will sign for Sydney. Personally I'm not the fazed.

Glad you could read it that way...i watched the question about 5 times and still got no indication. I hope you're right.

erm...a non smart arse response?

show, date, station and time please

Build it and they will come.

Just on that... I try and link up who posts on here and then the Demonland Facebook page - looking for syntax similarities etc etc...but you're right - a straw poll would perhaps over 50% with 1964

Heh heh heh, just like my now deceased Dad...

Just to clarify - It's not free sessions, the psychologist will charge what ever they charge - $150-$250 per session, the government rebate will be $84.80 for a general psych (they have lower fees, AND they're just a competent) vs a clinical psych (who's training whilst deals with the general population, work a lot with personality disorders i.e.: schizophrenia etc) as well as mood disorders (anxiety, depression) whereby the rebate is $102.00 - hence they charge more - you'll be roughly $50-$75 out of pocket - and considering what we spend on booze and food during the week - its pretty cheap to get your head sorted for the long term.

Interesting that neither co captain is automatic top 5... just an observation...

Have we all gone off Steven May? His thread is nowhere to be seen now...

how good was that mark in the final qrt. I don't think i've ever seen him drift in an have the confidence to take a grab vs halve the contest. Yes it's a sample size of one. Yet bloody good evidence.

I agree, beyond the reality of where the players are developmentally, I think there is a structural problem of pushing up high allowing free space for the opposition mids to win the ball then get out over the back...last week felt a little like Pagans Paddock.... not too much a scrawny kid can do on Brown when its been delivered on his [censored]. I don't like exposing our back line...but [censored] it - I've never coached a game of football in my life, and no nothing about systems... I am however a reluctant expert who righteously posts on forums such as this.

that took you all of 6 minutes @Ethan Tremblay ...impressive

I'm calling this weekend in Alice 'The Steven May Cup'.... should we win, we snare him, should we lose...he's off to Richmond!

Best 3 games from a backman since Danny Hughes - the 1980's not the 2000's

Correct. @Ethan Tremblay but mind yourself, if someones got a medical condition, you can't say anything untoward...

I love this thread... its about Cale now... I was expecting a comment about McCartin's report in the VFL - but we can let it go through to the keeper... CP5 is CaleV2.0? (new AND improved of course, not that things can be new AND improved).

Hmmm, racking my brain, which Liam?

Enough employment of the crap brother. We've had plenty of crap brothers...Ottens, Cockatoo-Collins(s), I remember about 10 years ago I made a list of about 10 who had fantastic brothers from other clubs, and we recruited the dud...

As a reluctant expert - I'd say post #240 is spot on - well said @TeamPlayedFine39 - aside from having Paddy, I'd rather not...list clogger...

Ukranian, and if I remember correctly, was voted the best Ukrainian sports person (not sure of exact title, perhaps 'ukrainian decent living outside of ukraine) ahead of Wayne Gretzky.

Really appreciate the stats on this - demon land knowledge is awesome. Thanks for the reality slap - you're right @A F - if I'm feeling he's inconsistent - it will be a sight to behold in the future.

Surely Ruggles is the anglicised version...?

Wow, stats really bring things into perspective!
