What would you call a bloke that breaks someone's jaw with a punch when they aren't looking? Coward is one of the nicer words I'd use

Can't understand what people see in Bugg. He gets a bit of footy but that's where it ends for mine. He's mostly wasteful in front of goal when it matters and simply speaking is certainly not in our best 22. He's not even in my best 30. He lost me when he made a decision to break someones jaw when they weren't looking. He can rot away in the VFL for the rest of his career for all I care because, aside from being a coward of a bloke, he simply isn't that good. He sits somewhere in between a good VFL player and a serviceable AFL player. At some point you have to strike a balance between rewarding effort and bringing in players with actual ability and more upside. Having a team full of people that try real hard at VFL level won't get us anywhere. At some point we need to bring in genuine ability. When Jeffy gets going we are a 2-3 goal better team. Bugg does not offer that whatsoever.

We'll respond, don't be that dramatic. At this point I'm thinking team selection this week will be the ultimate factor, cause we've royally stuffed that up since Lever went down.

You forgot to mention - jet fuel cant melt steel beams

Not sure this conversation has a point anymore lol

I'd say the two are mutually exclusive. Who out there performs really well in a job they hate? Happy workers = productive workers.

No-one at the club said he can't use social media, so who's the boss you are referring to? I think having fun and likable personalities out there off the field is good for membership. It's one of many factors that will help make this club a powerhouse again I reckon. Trying to turn the players into robots that can't have a bit of fun off the field will have a negative impact on the way they go about their footy. I'd rather they have a bit of fun and enjoy what they're doing.

Love the confidence, although I'm worried you haven't watched Port play this year. If QB wasn't season defining, this comes close.

Resumes and accomplishments speak far louder than rumor and hearsay.

If your boss told you weren't allowed to go on Demonland in your spare time outside of work until you hit a KPI at work - what would you say?

Take a deep breath and stay off DL for a week. Your comments are beyond ridiculous. As others have said, you are clutching at every straw possible to be as negative as possible about Monday. In fact, you having a go at Simon for "mocking our supporters" may just be the dumbest thing I've read on DL - and after a decade of reading comments here through some of our darkest times, that's pretty damn impressive. To the well rounded people here - Monday was pretty average, but how good is it going into the bye 8-4! I'll back us to respond well against Port for sure. I'm sure the players are burning up inside right now.

Is Goodwin the right guy tho?

I will be sure to personally get back to you once this occurs Timbo.

the cheese platter killed me hahaha

While a like-for-like replacement would be ideal, we don't have the stock for that (at this stage). I wouldn't be surprised to see Hibbo come across into levers role, and for Hibbo's spot to be replaced by Hunt. Good opportunity for Hunt to find some form and help the team out. As a player he has an enormous upside if we can get him firing.

Dom is shaping up to be good trade bait now, a few clubs could use him. Not sure we have any use for him anymore.

I have genuine sympathy for those who are so scarred by our past that they cannot enjoy the beautiful football we are playing at the moment without being pessimistic and feeling the need to remind everyone that it can all fall apart. Enjoy it guys, I've been waiting 31 years for this and am loving every moment of it. Dee's by 80+

Why on earth would something like this bother you?!

I'd take 1 Clarry over 2 Cripp's. Clarry has a far higher ceiling.

You seem like the kind of bloke that has there school listed as "The School of Hard Knocks" on Facebook ...

I couldn't get any context whatsoever from the seemingly random quotes in this article. Fake news.

I couldn't believe the persistence with Omac for a long time but look how he's going now. Must be his last chance though with Viney coming in next week. Keen to see how he responds.

Since when were the smart, dumb, young and old considered a minority? Senseless comment.

Perhaps reading the article before having an opinion on it would be a start

Happy with both of them right now. Can't figure out why we need to compare the two though.
