Get a Clarrie off and bring on the pup - someone who will give 100%

Posted the below in the wrong thread: Sorry but I wouldn’t touch him. Don’t care how good he has been recently, someone who is openly selling his soul to the highest bidder (if I’m not mistaken) cannot be good for our club, particularly our “culture”. I mean, the cats made him, he played in a premiership, and yet he wants to leave? Doesn’t sound like a teammate I could rely on to me. Some parallels to us and LJ, but LJ was just a babe, Stengel is 3 years older and knows what he is doing. It’s a big pass for me.

How can you say that to @layzie Old Dee? Wasn’t it you who said, just a couple of days ago, that you’d had enough and were taking an extended break from DL? (Mind you, said “extended break” happened to last a good 6 hours!).

That’s so good of you WCW, thanks Now just hurry the f up.

Finally someone has given a plausible explanation for Grundy not being selected. Not selecting him for any other reason doesn’t/ didn’t make sense. It’s probably what WCW has been hinting at all along.

Hey Ethan, do you know what’s happened to the originator of this thread - Mr Steve McQueen?

Great news. Now who are you trading out to catch such big fish? Oliver and May? (I’d do that if we could get those two).

I am so bored by the negativity on this site and general lack of respect shown to fellow DL’s that I find I am no longer enjoying reading the posts on here. Used to luv it, but now find it hard to get enthused to read them. I now resort to looking for favoured posters, but even these are often in battle with others. There are posters on here that I swear only come out of the woodwork when things ain’t so hot, just to sink their boots in. Never hear from them when things are good. I just don’t understand that. [censored] me, it’s just a game.

Realistic hope? If we are able to get our act together we can still make the finals. And if we do, we will do some damage in September. Realistic? I hope so.

You know he’s not.

Old Dee I hope you change your mind. We have too many optimists on this site at present and we need every pessimist we can get. If not, then I look forward to hearing from you in ‘25.

I have thoughts but I would only be speculating. It might be the game plan, it might be a coach or a particular player. But I do know that you don’t go from being a top side to a poor one, when you basically have the same personnel, without some other influence disrupting the system. The change in attitude by the players is simply a reflection of this.

While I agree with that Moonie, I also think it likely that there is a “rotten apple” within the club that is “infecting” everyone. The attitude change in the players (for the worse) is the key for me. Whoever or whatever that “apple” is has to be weeded out.

A 5 point win today guys after a great contested pack mark by Petty (over the top of Maynard) and a 45m goal kicked after the siren. Happy days!

Great quote from Jobe ..”he’s completely ambidextrous on both sides” Peanut!

Haha, who helped you post that Timothy?

Maybe we could resort to standing and clapping at the 10 minute mark of each quarter. Don’t need Pies or AFL’s approval for that.

I think you’ve made your point about a dozen times now. We get it. Time to let it rest because you are annoying the F out of everyone. If that’s your aim then you’ve achieved that too. Well done.

They may not be match fit but each of these gents has, at some stage, proven themselves at AFL level.

Can I say that if WCW cannot be her usual self on DL, then DL will be a lot poorer for that. She is, IMO, a breath of fresh air on here. I don’t always agree but I’m always entertained. Don’t change.

Thanks Ernie, but if he is not showing AFL standard traits, as a number of the regular Casey watches have stated, would you still pick him this week? And who would he replace? If someone from Casey is deemed “ready” by all means bring him in. But I feel a big part of our problem is that there is so little pressure for spots on our AFL team from the Casey players. Anyway, I’m sure the FD know better than me what is best for AMW.

Has Clarry now been handed a different centre bounce role than in previous years? He was always first to pounce on the tap out and, if he couldn’t extract the ball, he was usually at the bottom of the pack. That now seems to be Viney’s role, unfortunately. If so, it ain’t doing him, or us, any good. I say give him last years brief, and let him go, as only Clarry can. It may just help him to get his mojo back.
