'Chafing' at the bit? I think you need to rearrange your bit...

Mate, he would love that but the whispers are quiet for him I have heard up here... Recruiting out of the NEAFL is a tad fraught. Rookie List might be a go - he is heading to Central Districts if not picked up.

I am not going to demand Tyson give more than he gave in 2014 - he was superb. If he stays as productive I would be delighted - he is still young. I expect Viney to give a little more but Salem, Brayshaw and JKH are babies. Toumpas, Riley, Michie, and Newton is where our improvement will come from - and I just don't see them having much of an impact at all in 2015. If a couple of them can come in and be consistent members of the 22 then that would be great.

I don't think we will see any great improvement in the midfield in 2015. We haven't improved the midfield are relying on kids and discards to improve.

The logistics of a backman being 2nd ruck are troublesome to say the least.

I like that team AOD. S-load of run. 10 runners plus Lumumba in the 22. We won't win it out of the Middle much again so transition is what we have to about.

And another player giving up The Life ©, hey C&B? Just crazy...

As I said in my post - his retirement affirms the decision. But the trigger of his retirement was this proposed demotion to the rookie list. That should give one pause IMO.

Not entirely certain of what you are asking. The CBA is below. http://www.aflplayers.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/CBA-2012-2016-FINAL.pdf

Does this answer any questions people had between the differences between the Primary List and the Rookie List? And the fact that some players would baulk at the decision to be demoted? I am not saying it was an incorrect decision, in fact his retirement affirms the decision, but there were some on here that felt contracted players would walk willingly and magnanimously onto the Rookie List.

Give us an example of the 99%. Enlighten. And how is it that I have been here in this one incarnation for 7 years, and have never been a moderator, and don't feel this oppression and archaic censorship?

Then pick the Talia / Fyfe / Gunston or Sidebottom / Beams / Hannebery of those effing drafts then... I feel like we have the most players to choose from and the least at the same time....

Other people get held liable for what you say - you can understand that but not comprehend it. It is not censorship.

As stupid as it sounds - black stripes on white is hell of a lot lighter than white stripes on black... Pretty boring though...

Yes, Collingwood is lucky enough to have a terribly boring colour set and design that easily lends itself to be made very dark and then very light, simply by 'drawing the shades'...

What are you talking about? The Internet is the most lawless body in history. You have happened upon a tiny spec of it that has a clear ownership structure with a desire to not be held culpable by what people post. This is what you are having a meltdown about. Bigfooty will accommodate you. You can say hello to Hannibal. That's something...

I'm glad too... I don't know why the Bulldogs wore all red, I don't really think it is relevant to this club. The white is not what I want to see but we have worn all white before in our long history so I won't reject it outright like some have. All red doesn't sit well with me but at the end of the day this is a small issue. The clash strips look fine, let's move on.

Early? You are walking out of the cinema during the trailers, nah you haven't seen a trailer yet - you walking out during a Pancake Parlour ad...

No the NBA allows FAs to go anywhere (unless you are Chris Paul but that is another story) but a FAs team can offer more money and longer contracts than any other team so that does make a difference. The NBA is heavily equalised though so teams don't lose money, the bigger teams share their profits across the league. But we could never have that here because... ...

Dunn's last two years does well to save that draft but what low expectations we have, hey? Bate at 13, Newton with 43, P Johnson trade with 29, Scott Thompson replaced by Beamer is a loss, a mitigated loss, but still a loss. ND12, 13, and 15 should really still be here and only Dunn is...

We should discuss this post in 5 years time... Great news? We will discuss this then I promise - it will be better than Interstellar... 5th dimension? You skipped right over the 4th!?!

How draconian... Let me know when Stakkaland or C&B Land is operational.

Maybe the black we used to wear? People uncomfortable with black and red as colours? It's funny how wearing white shorts as the away team is an unquestioned remnant of history. I remember a NAB Cup game a few years ago we wore red jumper with blue shorts - it didn't look terrible. The white shorts might have to do.

You can start your own forum and turn off the censoring and the moderating capability. It would be a beacon.

Yes, but when have we ever worn all red? I am attached to the blood red yolk with the dark navy blue style. I would argue, and have, that the white is more aligned to our history than a movement toward the kind of 'all-red' clash strip that we are talking about. I am not going to get into it as I don't mind the red clash strip, but an all red number is a step I am not that comfortable with. If people thought our last clash strip made us look like Sydney, we would look like GC in all red.
