If rivers doesn't get the rising star nom. I will break something.

Well done Spargo.

How is that not holding the man on Baker? Oh that's right, we're playing the AFL project team.

You could breathe on Fritsch and he'd lose his footing.

Towing the AFL line. It's like [censored] north Korea.

We need to sign players up on shorter deals and keep them driven to excel.

Because he.. er...*coughs* ... bleeds red and blue...?

Loved how he took a split second to balance when taking the kick, great composure.

Mumford has to get weeks for something tonight. Just whacks gawn in back of head nowhere near the ball. Coward.

Typical boganism from that dead-set drongo.

If so Mumford should be due adecent holiday if ANB's 4wk tackle penalty is any kind of yardstick.

Ah sorry my bad. Ok. That makes more sense

So that mumford thuggish cnut takes Carrie's head off and the corrupt maggot umpire plucks a free from between his stinkcheeks to Greene? WTF?

Oh how good is Trac!

Great work Kozzie in that run out of defence

Bloody hell viney

Do they pay us or do we pay them to stay on?

Nailed it. All I can think of is making poor decisions due to lowered objectivity, biases, being prone to nepotism, etc. It's like saying BHP would be better off only employing execs from within the company vs globally.

He may start kicking it to our jumpers though?

We have to give something up to get something back. There is a bit to like about extra midfield minutes that a JV move would buy Brayshaw, and that would have quite some upside. We've seen how quickly players can drop off - esp. those who've had foot injuries, etc. (E.g. TMac) - and I daresay we've seen Jack's ceiling. If I had to choose one of our mids out of Viney, Oliver, Brayshaw or Trac to let go, I'd have to say Viney.

Surely the money has to be a dead-eye 55m Daniher bomb after the siren relegating us to 9th after we knock GWS off by 15 goals Sat night.

Being from a one-team city in an Aussie Rules-mad state with world class facilities, huge membership numbers, and the commensurate sponsorship dollars that would attract might have something to do with it. We are a homeless amateur rabble compared to the top clubs.

No worries, thanks for clarifying. I certainly agree a bye would indeed have been handy!

FMD, if GWS go down to Adelaide a day after we terminated our season with extreme prejudice... talk about salt in wounds. Hope... dashed ... hope ... dashed ... <repeat ad infinitum>

Bizarre to me that the AFL scheduled byes in a compressed season replete with 4-day breaks. And our "bye" was spent with our whole squad playing a practice match on the 'G - hardly a break. That said, if I recall Essendon had their tails up at that stage - we were far from a certainty of winning that game anyway.
