NO CHANCE HBF Retrirement only option!

I would rather Spargo a late OUT and Billy In, who, whilst hasn't been all that impressive is a much better option than Spargo! Also, I reckon Clarry won't play, Maggies to win in that case!

Hnmm thanks very much for this. I hope not to offend but to enlighten a few who might gain some "Brevity" with my thoughts about Rob! And mainly to understand. I was lucky enough to know him a little. The legacy he left and the enduring effect he had on Many people, Including a most humble me! Reprinted from my thoughts at the time of his passing ! Shheit nearly 5 years ago Sheeit! Rob loved days like today. He probably would have thought it a tad hot for footy, but would have played and dominated, anyway. His greatest pastime on days like to day would be cooking a BBQ for family and friends, playing golf, or on his boat catching a few "Flatties" and maybe the odd "Schnapper" in Port Phillip bay, or just shooting the breeze on his sundeck at Sorrento. Rob was at his happiest when you were happy, it seemed as if by some magical formula he had the "knack" of making you feel as if you were the most important person at that moment he was speaking to you. He loved his family and he loved and valued his friends! Charismatic people have this gift. Some use it for gain, and power, Rob used his charisma because he was genuinely interested in you and your family. Yes Rob was a "Superstar" footballer Bernie Quinlan so rightly said yesterday. But Above and Beyond he was a "Mega Superstar" person! Is this not a better, more substantially satisfying legacy to leave? In private life he was a generous with his time and expertise, as he appeared in public life. I have seen and been lucky enough to witness the way he gently and compassionately met people who at the conclusion of an interaction walked away much happier for the experience. Floating on air is as real as an experienceI have seen and been a part of, and just as euphoric! Just ask any who met him and knew him. I count myself extremely lucky and enriched by knowing him as a friend and mentor! The Euphoria stayed with you and lingered on and on. Over the 35 odd years I have known the man, I have been extremely fortunate to have been welcomed into part of the fabric of his life. He had many "Brothers" in arms and his own two brothers, Tom and Jim must have thought that they had won tattslotto every day of their lives having him as a brother. I can tell you he felt the same way about them! A more gentle, humble, empathic, generous, self effacing, humorous, genuine person you could not find than Rob Flower. I was at his funeral yesterday, and I will be at his public funeral tomorrow. Each time I look up at the sky on a clear night I will seek out the brightest star. If all stars represent great people, then Rob's star will surely be the brightest! With more people like Rob Flower in the world, it would be a more sensational place to be! Vale Rob Flower, a shining light in my life, never forgotten, always remembered "No Regrets" Thanks mate

I like the way u think!! PF Coach?? But only if Uncle Bitters and Daxzzle man and Chook in Perth and one or two others would join me!

Meanwhile Spargo gets a gig in front of this guy PFFFTT!

Clarryy Choo Choo to be a late OUT! I Reckon!?

Cheezus H Christmas Cannot kick beyond 35-40 m Cannot mark Is slower than a wet week in Melb Cannot stick a tackle Doesn't t hit the scoreboard Really ???

Best team put on the park would have been improved but for..... What?? Blind faith? Nar sorry cannot go with this!

Yep!

Well not dissimilar to Spargo who was dropped, didnt play at Casey then found himself back in the ones !! Expect Oscar to play ones next week!! Nothing surer!!?

Speechless! I just do not get it! Surely surely ANB, jkh and Billy Stretch are more deserving of a game?? I actually thought JKH coming back after extended layoff was not too bad! Totally mystifying!!

Spargo STILL IN????? FMD

One of the If not THE ... Greatest motivational things I have heard Brilliant!

But GOOD enough!

Nhmm he has TWO clear characteristics many of our players lack!! PACE and old fashioned Gristle and Grunt, Mongrel. A healthy dash of what we like to see more of!!! Bitters help me out here!! GO GET HIM

Precisely!!

Why??

And Schwarta!??

So our poor season is just down to injuries then?? Injuries are but ONE factor. I have alluded to others which MAY also be considered. Just my opinion I'll leave it at that!

Ok I'll take a stab at it 1 Players got too far ahead of themselves 2 We have too many serviceable type players but no out an out superstars that can turn a game 3 If what has been reported regarding the Coach apparently refusing to watch the Preliminary final capitulation and if this IS TRUE??? any remediation and fine tuning from strategic coach planning with a view of remediating faults just didn't occur. Result.?? Every other coach has just worked out how to beat the demons from the West Coast blueprint! Also, you cannot use injuries as an excuse as Richmond and others have proved time after time!

Well, I would not bring Lever in under ANY circumstances. He is underdone and not worth the risk. IMO

Yep spot on!

Sheet yep OK Trac in for either Lockhart or ANB probably Lockhart!

No I dont, I reckon there is something NQR but on present standards if he kicks another 15 + or so he will be our leading goalkicker! Give him another 1 year deal ( with a second year option) performance based same money plus incentives a full pre season ( Remembering his shoulder injury in the JLT) I just reckon a touch of faith is required with this bloke who clearly can play!

Ok I'll add the third nail and agree! Ok On Jeffy, He aint at his best and agree infuriating at times but he does as he has for a long period of time , find space, shakes an opponent and can kick freak goals.Out of sorts to a degree but still the flickers and embers of Magic remain . And still better than anything else we have got! Hell you cant drop blokes in losing sides that kick 3 Goals!! STAYS TILL END OF YEAR and reassess!
