Grr-owl

Also derided, generally.

I don't agree at all. If Goodwin didn't go to Hunt and tell him that is exactly the reason why he doesn't play regularly I would be surprised. The time for playing feelies is in the dressing room after a big win against brutal opposition. They can get a room together after that for all I care. In fact, I'll pay....

As I understand it, Melksham is an excellent on-field organizer. His role is to organize the forwards, so when he is out of the team, there is nobody to fill that aspect of the role. I think that is why he doesn't get dropped... for better or worse.

No. Good question, though. But no because Hunt initiated it. If I had a preference for Trac's response, rather than tolerate it, it would be to have seen him turn on Hunt and tell him to f*!# o@# and get his head together. But maybe Trac is too nice. Or perhaps has another forward step to take in that regard. In any case, Trac has credit in the bank for being generally awesome with obvious and scary-good upside potential, whereas if Hunt has an account, it's one of those State Bank ones we had a primary school... By the way, 40-odd years later, what with the miracle of compound interest working in my favor, my ten cents must be worth a pile... but where is it?

Well, I wouldn't begrudge Nev an opportunity. If he feels he needs it, he has my blessing. What I want, though, is the bloke to stick around and be a clubman and teach the youngsters how to behave.

What is the point of contracting players long term to a club they don't want to be at? Recipe for disaster, I'd reckon.

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.

Watched his dad kick 6 in the mud at Morabbin back in '54. A chip off the old block, so they say....

Also the trail on Polec has gone quiet. Does that suggest Smith is close?

The team to gel.

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.

If he wants success, he won't. We need a bloke like him and he needs a club like us.

A sustained period of success would make us the smallest of the big clubs, but big enough, I reckon.

IMHO Weid needs to play deep forward. Brown the lead up. Jackson the roaming CHF. M.Brown depth.

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...

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.....

Pretty good at football, though.

You missed the unnecessary capitalisation..... ?

Okay, fair enough..... but what about his LEGS??!!!

But can we get others?

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?

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....
