  1. I’ve been a fan of Hunt, but somehow I get the feeling he upsets the balance of the team. I reckon it’s his personality. His priorities, as suggested at 3qtr time with his liaison with Trac’s nether regions, at a time when his mind should have been on other things, don’t seem to be quite right.
  2. Watched his dad kick 6 in the mud at Morabbin back in '54. A chip off the old block, so they say....
  3. Also the trail on Polec has gone quiet. Does that suggest Smith is close?

    The team to gel.
  5. This makes me haaaaaaapeeeeeeeeeeee!

    The right one, fortunately. He was down back for a while, but got so cold the coach moved him forward to prevent his joints siezing and he played a role, spearing the pill onto the chest of the winner of the Victorian U12's Lockett Look-a-like Comp.
  7. If he wants success, he won't. We need a bloke like him and he needs a club like us.
  8. A sustained period of success would make us the smallest of the big clubs, but big enough, I reckon.
  9. IMHO Weid needs to play deep forward. Brown the lead up. Jackson the roaming CHF. M.Brown depth.
  10. Who in their right mind would WANT to play for the Bummers at the moment?

    Awesome. My boy played his one and only 12s league game for the Bullants in 2019 - 15.10.100 to 00.00.00.

    Best of luck to Rhyce Shaw. Thought his last few media performances showed very alarming signs. Copped a bit of criticism too, form those who should've known better given their closeness to Danny Frawley...
  13. Just wanna put my two cents in on a loosely related subject..... I stopped watching footy for about 15 years when I left Aus. When I turned back on, Carlton and Essendon were crap, the Hawks were still winning and there were two new clubs -- one in the western suburbs of Sydney, FFS, and the other in some cocaine resort town south of Brisbane. Could not believe it. Then the thought crossed my mind... in a country of only 25 million, only two thirds of which play the sport, isn't that at least two teams too many? The talent is spread thin, IMHO. Just imagine how much better the league would be if all the talent gone to Suns and GWS was spread about.....
  14. Pretty good at football, though.
  15. You missed the unnecessary capitalisation..... ?
  16. Okay, fair enough..... but what about his LEGS??!!!
  17. But can we get others?
  18. I remember seeing Ablett live as a kid. I remember being shocked at the size of his legs. So thick. So strong. Maybe that's why he didn't play in a premiership team...? In fact, maybe that explains why all those players can't be considered 'great.' Held back by leg girth. Now that I think of it, Lockett's legs were just outrageously big.... Whaddya think, Coq?
  19. I recall a scene in the box toward the end of the year, Richardson was chatting with Goody, waving his arms about as if, perhaps, suggesting a move of one kind or another. Next week, Richardson was notably absent, not just from the box but apparently the game..... Doo dee dadaa, doo dee dada....
  20. I'm happy, but wary. Rotate the guy into the forward line for stoppages, at least, and get him to tackle the oppo ball carriers.
  21. I reckon. It just kinda smells good...
  22. You think Weid is going to come good? I've been in the Weid camp a long while, arguing that he needs to be given his chance, but the last few games he was pi*#weak and I worry that he's just never going to be fully present and accountable. Having said that, he and Jackson did gel, so.....
  23. Kinda feel Brown is soft. Would be handy, sure, but I kinda envisage him running around dropping marks and generally being average as he descends into our soft culture...... Do we need more softness?
  24. Grr-owl replied to Demonland's post in a topic in Melbourne Demons
    Yes, but only if he was the one giving the nominations....

    What are these 'personality' issues?
