all over red rover. geelong can console themselves with cameron

hawkins not much better

wrong thread

cats needed that

after all geelongs dominance just 9 points in it. far from over this one.

Why can't they just get Barnsey

Fwits

dumb

JOrdan Clark showed plenty of dash in the sprint. an option for our wing perhaps!

i realised 10 mins before the game. I'm watching on afl live pass on my mobile

looks like your wish will be granted

Tougher for the Vic teams. Easier for SA and QLd. Port and Brissy will never have a better opportunity

I’m not one for tradition for traditions sake but I think the gf should remain a daylight game. Every year I fire up the BBQ and have friends and family over to watch the game. With the public holiday added now its makes for a great family orientated weekend. I think a night time slot would change the whole dynamic for the worse.

I find it hard to dislike players we traded out. Jesse, Kent even Watts when he had that blinder against us in round 1 2019 I couldn’t bring myself to curse him. The exception is Scully. Can't stand him.

I wish Melbourne could reach Geelong's level of overratedness.

I’m wide awake Billy You seem to be unfamiliar with some of the basics of trading. The idea is to exchange items of equal value. The objective is to achieve a win win scenario whereby clubs exchange players which fill a need and improve their list overall. I think Harmes can be very effective in a defensive mid role and is worthy of a spot in the best 22. Brayshaw is worthy as well, has talent no doubt but has been inconsistent. If the club has to trade to fill a need then I think trading Brayshaw for a winger or KFF would deliver a greater overall result than trading Harmes. Hence my post. For future reference I’d prefer if you respond with an argument why you think trading Brayshaw is a bad idea. Or with an argument why Harmes should or shouldn’t be trade rather than a pot-shot. I’m happy to hear your thoughts.

look to bring in josh kelly or Zack Merrett with the oliver picks

His best position is defensive mid so play him there. Maybe he can replace Melksham but I’m not a big fan of trying to repurpose players. Just play to his strengths. If someone gets squeezed out then my preference is Brayshaw. Nothing against Angus just think he has greater currency which can deliver a better player in a trade than Harmes can.

His real estate contacts might come in handy for our HQ project ?

I wasn’t trying to be insulting. Have a nice day HFF.

Memo to self, must remember to refer to public rather than taxpayer ?

If you mean as long as they are making money who cares, then that’s a valid point and many people would agree with you. For me giving Cartier watches to already well remunerated execs is just greed and avarice. I don’t like it. I’d much prefer the posties were given a little extra in their pay packet.

I see the head of ASIC has now had to step aside while his expenses are investigated. Not sure what prompted all this but if I was on the board of a taxpayer funded body or regulator I would be nervously checking my all expense claims right now.

Eddie can’t help himself but I guess he’s just defending one of his own. Politics is a truly sh**ty business as Holgate is now finding out. A few watches is nothing in the grand scheme of things. I’m a capitalist. It’s the best way we know to encourage innovation and create wealth. But jeez I hate the greed that goes along with it. Any sympathy I have for Holgate dissipates pretty quickly when I see the eye-watering remuneration package she’s on. She’s a greedy elitist like all the rest of that circle of execs who rotate amongst all the top jobs. She’ll pitch up at another top job for sure. She’s be ok.

I guess I’m glass half full and you’re glass half empty.
