The word I'm serching for starts with a B and ends with a t.

No way hes getting offered 500k at the pies. I reckon thats what we have offered that over 3 years with a trigger for a 4th. Effectively he will be taking on Jordan Lewis' Cash. How could Elliott possibly let everyone at Collingwood know he wont be their next year while he still has to attend their BnF. Can expect a decision next week.

The only player we haved missed since being traded has been Jeremy Howe.

I reckon Perty has got his hands all over this one, with his past dealings with Billy.

If we were into Elliott from the start of the year and Hawthorn were late on the scene, you'd think we would have a better deal in place compared to the Hawks. Pies can't match any offers with Grundy asking for the world.

Agreed and worried about when the ball hits the ground in our defensive 50, Frosty is very good below his knees.

He'll be the greatest defender that ever lived once he starts playing at the Hawks. Sad to see him go, obviously couldn't come to a suitable agreement. Hopefully we get Hawks 2nd rounder in return case closed.

I only talked about his body type not about Dusty the footballer, he's a long way off it. He can have the biggest of pre seasons, hit his weight target etc, but he has to work on his goal kicking and field kicking other wise he will never reach elite levels.

Agree to disagree, if he can't go into the midfield now for prolonged periods and he has trimmed down according to you, that either tells me one or two things, he can't train to sustain a certain level of gut running for the periods he craves in the midfield. Or he can't sustain it because he is in AFL terms to heavy to play prolonged midfield minutes. Remember he's 23 years old not 20. If you have played any sport that requires a high level of fitness, the heavier you are the quicker you fatigue 3-4 kgs less is a massive difference. Dusty should be his prototype he is roughly the same height 187 cm weights 93 kgs, Tracc Height 186cms Weight 96kgs, 3 kgs difference. If he can get to 92 kgs you will see a different player, hope burgo can get the best out of him .

Christian needs to get a hell of alot fitter, trim down another 5-7 kgs off his playing weight this year. Hopefully Burgo can place a suitable program to achieve building a bigger tank.

Our System, method and pace are the real worries for me, we over handball around stoppages and our kicking through zones is probably the worst in the league. Our biggest flaw is in our forward line where we don't apply enough physical tackling pressure.

Give the big fella the Captaincy.

Sponsors are getting a good run

When is it back on troops?

He's gone i reckon, not even in the top 10. maybe not.

Another selfless decision by a true leader of our club, enjoy the next 1-2 years of your footy career without the huge load you have carried on your shoulders for so long Jonesy boy. An inspiration throughout the toughest of times at our grand old club, we salute you always.

That's what the AFL is Steve, a walking contradiction.

I agree with a few of the posters on this forum, while some of us are not happy the club can't be excused for its past decisions re drafting, home base etc. But what other competition in the world are handing out multiple handouts/free kicks to one organisation. This wouldn't happen in the states in any of their major sporting codes if it did it would be full blown anarchy.

Correct bar 2 clubs, remember he coached in the SANFL.

The pain we have to relive again. FMD. Another round of F'ups from our Grand Club. While we are all in a good mood, i have some footy trivia to entertain and rub salt into the wounds of the masses 《Trivia Question 》 Neil Balme has won premierships at every club he has been at in a capacity bar one, can you name the clubs he has been associated with who he has won them with plus the one club he has not?

We got royally french connectioned in 2010,11 when the Suns came in with the compromised draft, as well as BWS in 2012-13. They have taken away our draft zone in Darwin which the club would have been aware of. They have now got our pick 2 and French Connectioned us again, surely, surely we are going to recoup all that has been lost. If i was Bartlett and Pert i would have been demanding overs in something in return.

They had me at hello, and flipped the script.

Shocking, he initially didn't read out that pick 1 was a priority pick, this is crap. Move on now.

Kingy has just informed of the us of the bad news. Pick 2 is not ours

IMO GWS were beat up, Whitfield playing after having his appendix out was a massive red flag, ( If you have had your appendix out you would understand the playing discomfort) Davis was on one leg, Mummy a complete liability. GWS played there Grand Final against the pies, and another close game against the Lions. 3rd week of travel, only a mug would have thought it was going to be close. Looks like you fall into that category Wattsy. Never going to be close. The screenshot was just a reminder not a reason, that i put my money where my mouth is.
