You know where to stick it D.

From a kennel to a home, Schache is now happy.

Can you confirm it’s not Schache?

I’d suggest that says more about Sam as a person than anything else. I think everyone wanted him to make it. And Melky is an import, so doesn’t have that same birthing connection

If a player is not good enough, it’s not his fault, then there is not much point showing “angst” towards him is there? Most DL’s realise this. I’m surprised you are surprised to be honest.

If we couldn’t turn Sam into a decent AFL footballer, how the hell are we expected to do it for Schache?

I hope we don’t move on till we reach 300 pages - then let’s burn it. 300 pages of questionable quality at best. Kind of reflective of LJ’s last half of the season.

I know Jacko is the better player, but emotionally I’m more upset at losing Weid.

I can’t remember the last time I heard those words in relation to Sam - but I believe we do, given how this trade period is shaping.

I think there is more chance of the Dees missing the 8 than Freo next year.

Don’t do it Sam!!

I know that the B and F night and the Jayden news must have taken a lot out of you WCW - but scheez!!, have you looked at yourself in the mirror lately?

Who is doing the “urging”- Fremantle or the reporters?

To Luci, DeeZone and mo64: I’m sorry guys, but I need to apologise to you. Its been a really slow day, and as I thought Crossley was being perhaps unfairly stereotyped, I made the above info up just for a bit of fun. For all I know he might drink like a fish, smoke like a chimney and eat pizza for breakfast lunch and dinner. Or again, he just might have thyroid issues.

I heard he doesn’t drink or smoke - so that might change your payment method. He also has a thyroid issue causing the weight issue he is carrying.

This thread is giving me nightmares - can we please close it asap?!!

Daz, if he wasn’t offered a contract, why then was he picked ahead of Bowey for our last final? Not saying it’s not true, but just doesn’t make sense to me.

Commiserations LT, I know exactly how you are feeling. Our beautiful 13 year old border collie had to be put to sleep on Wednesday night.

Well said SWYL, and Can I add that not every player wants to come to the MFC

I agree if that is the case WCW. But I just find it hard to believe that a player would be broadsided in an exit meeting. As in any workplace, players would have goals and KPI’s to be achieved during the year. A player should know if they are not shaping up.

Now that he has learnt how to defend, I’d love to see him combine those defensive skills with his natural run-and- attacking attributes for us on the wing. I think he was too immature the last time he was tried in that role. But now, I think he’d excel. He’s a keeper for mine, in the right role.

1. Oliver 2. Tracc 3. Gus

Probably because the Trade Whisperer, ET, raised it. So it must be a done deal.

If deG leaves the Pies, would that change their thinking re Grundy? It would certainly put a spanner in our bargaining power if the Pies are now not having to fork out $3.5m for deG.

Please don’t rooyen for all of us the vibe around this kid JG. Let us have 6 months of dreaming of what could be. Your point is noted however, and one of us will refer to it next season for sure. I’m of the thinking that he is Ox like, rather than Balta, and really hope I’m the one that’s right.
