    There’s no way these players are getting these farms through dodgy third party deals. They would show up like dogs balls. I love the banter but let’s be realistic.
  2. That first list which differs from the above post has us at 12th. He’s massively overrating Freo, GWS, Collingwood, Geelong and Hawthorn. I’d go Brisbane Carlton Sydney second tier Melbourne GWS Geelong Hawthorn Port Adelaide third tier St. Kilda (the new ninth specialists) GCS Collingwood Adelaide fourth tier Rabble
  3. I still need a report as to their movements today!!
  4. I don’t gamble but I’d happily put $250 on us making the 8, that’s money for jam baby!
  5. I think you’re misunderstanding the worries over Jefferson, it’s not his ability that is ok question it’s his intensity at the contest. History suggests that can’t be taught. You either have that monger or you don’t. He may have it or he may not. It has been suggested by a coach that he may not, that is the concern. Weideman and Schache had the ability it’s that next bit that remains a concern.
  6. This I agree with and I too am dubious. It’s not a slight on the kid as the desire required to play this game has to be brutal. Very few have it.
  7. Robbo extracted the very best out of himself as a footballer. He kicked goals and entertained us with his excellent marking. He deserves any recognition he gets. Down playing him is showing a lack of understanding of the game.
  8. To be fair Lyon was also an inspirational leader who could drag his team over the line, he could swing back or onto the ball when needed. Robbo was a great forward but as a footballer he wasn’t in Lyons orbit.
  9. Howe is so far behind Nev Jetta.
  10. I don’t believe you, he’s contracted. It’s the King’s ransom or he stays
  11. Jeremy Howe? Get fckued
  12. Put him and Luke’s on the long term injury list and get George and Culley on. Fit, young and keen.
  13. That’s bad news for the Kolt. He’s got time
  14. Where the [censored] are the reports!
  15. I wonder if you reduced the game length and then had 35 rounds in a season with everyone playing everyone twice. 4 and 5 day breaks, footy on 7 days a week. It’s a no from me
  16. Actually their job is to create headlines and clicks. Objective football journalism lies outside the AFL endorsed media
  17. For all Kings flip flops he’s a closet Dee’s fan. He knows we’re good, he knows we can push for it. Cornes believes in our youth. You can’t ask much more of 2 guys paid to generate clicks who work in an industry that basically shares news. I mean only this week we had 3 journos write 3 ‘separate’ articles about us that all said exactly the same thing all delivered on the same day.
  18. I wonder if the club is thinking the same?
  19. Would you swap him for Kentfield?

    Shaun Burgoyne’s knees were apparently shot when he left Port, he went ok as a Hawk, played a few games from memory.
  21. I had a son and a daughter. They didn’t get to choose. Both remain Demons although not as passionate as me. That’ll come. Personally I would have stopped feeding them if they changed teams. Their great aunt chased them hard and I gave her short shift. My ex and my new partner and her kid have all come on board. If you want me I come with the Demons, end of story.
  22. That’s the plan
  23. Just get George in the list pronto
  24. If you’re in your 3rd year as a key forward and part of your role doesn’t involve those things then you’re a bust already. Hitting packs with ferocity is the absolute bare minimum for Jefferson, it’s why I think Johnson may be currently ahead of him in the clubs planning.
