Seriously good comment. Couldn't agree more.

Love the use of ‘defrag’ here lol

YES!!!!

Ironically, without it being a the corporate business it is today, we'd have very little to talk about in the off season at all, and therefore nothing to complain about when we get corporate lip service from the club.

Didn't we get promised an EXTERNAL review if we didn't make finals? There's a reason teachers don't let kids mark their own homework ...

In other breaking news - Oxygen is the key to breathing!

I can't stand the bombers either, but curious as to how you've come up with this comment?

Gee I'm glad you don't work for the club. This is cultural suicide in a team which lacks enough of it already.

Roos was pretty glam in terms of salary ...

As always, I find myself in furious agreement with you once more. Well said.

Can never be too prepared, SWYL!

It doesn't surprise me that you still use one of these at home

I wonder if the players themselves had something to do with finishing on top the ladder

I see the point your making. My only point would be that all lists have at least a few players like that and its not necessarily a bad thing. As long as they play the outside role well who cares if they are the type to put their body on the line? I couldn't care less if the same person is lacing out Sammy on the lead inside 50 ...

A lot of classy outside players are soft. That's why they play on the outside right ... We can hope for unicorns all we like (i.e. classy outside + hard inside), but back here on planet earth Phillips makes a lot sense for our other wing and I'd be all for it. Agree it wouldn't be worth selling the farm for however.

I hear what your saying, but on the other hand we can't have a team of players that want to instantly get rid of the footy like a hot potato every time they touch it. Jack's bullocking certainly has its place.

I'd pump the brakes on that line of thought. A good season with the Bluey and a AA spot does not automatically mean he will be an effective captain. I haven't noted Trac showing any signs he'd be a good captain personally, but happy to be corrected by those who watch more closey than I do. I love the bloke, but maybe someone who grabs team mates fingers and puts them up his own clacker is possibly lacking the maturity required of a captain.

I don't mind this at all actually

Some strange ones in there Also, I hate this website design passionately. Why must we click through 10 separate pages to get the full story?

On the other hand, if they were up and about many would whinge that they're "not hurting enough" after that season

You might be on to something here SWYL; psilocybin in microdoses is an effective treatment for PTSD. Watching us play might have got to him one too many times.

What a great thread. Let's trade our leading goalkicker, who is highly skilled and takes a [censored] load of marks inside 50 and makes quality defenders look like b-graders regularly. Dumb.

I can accept he's had his share of average games, but overall I view his season as positive steps toward becoming the player we need him to be. We all know key tall generally take much longer to develop, and I reckon we'll get 40+ out of him next year if he is allowed to play the role he is best suited for. Weid is a brilliant #2 tall forward - he plays that role really well. All we need to do is 1) not make him our #1 tall and 2) go find a #1 tall.

brilliant assessment. my only thing is; that's hard on the weid

I think this is far too simplistic. Does May have a documented history of alcohol abuse that has already threatened to end his career? No.
