    Has there been any word on when the AGM will be this year?  Last year was mid December.

    I've always enjoyed going to that, hearing from the CEO, the coach and being introduced to the new players.

    Neat finisher with a bit of flair. Noted for forward pressure. Leg speed/evasive skills. Can win contested ball. Fills a Neade (sorry).

    What's the knock? Goes missing? 

    From Big Footy...

    "He has zero forward craft. Doesn’t know how to crumb packs to save his life. But man can he tackle. 

    When he’s playing well he can kick 2-3 goals, apply a shitload of pressure in the forward line, provide some nice link up play down the field and his delivery by foot is excellent. The problem is he’s very prone to having 4 disposal games where you completely forget he’s playing. He’s decent depth and would come very cheap. Who knows, a functioning forward line might bring the best out of him"

    Sprintcar racing over summer for me. Season opener a couple of weeks ago at Avalon, Moama on Saturday (unfortunately cancelled cause rain), Warrnambool in a couple of weeks.

    Biggest race in country (by car count biggest in world) is Grand Annual Sprintcar classic in Warrnambool, in second last weekend of January. 

    Love this time of year!

     

    Edit - I spectate. Too old/slow to drive  :(

    The top comment predicted the media would try and spin it into an imaginary player rift despite it being just pis taking banter. Getting in early?

    Written by Bell-end no doubt....  ?

    So do you think we will be a worse side next year with no Hogan but May & KK in? Think about our wins without Hogan then answer.

    Edit: How many more wins if we had had May? 2 = top 4 finish

    I'm all over the place this trade week.

    For me, I didn't want Hogan to leave.

    I've since convinced myself that his head is not really in it and he is going to leave at some point anyway, so we just need to get what we can and move on.

    Again with the comprehension issues. I am not debating why Watson said what he said. As stated in your quote I could care less. Wher's the debate?

    I was simply calling you out. Anyway it's been fun. I'll pop you on ignore now. Will cut this thread in half, which will be a blessed relief. 

    That means you do care, at least a little.

    I can give you a summary 

    - vic bias media 

    -hogan always injured 

    - dees asking way too much for hogan 

    - he’s a free agent next year 

    lots of absolute dribble. 

    .... most common - "well done Belly, what a legend"

    I'm pleasantly surprised that all of the criticism for this shambles is falling on Freo and Bell.

    The fact remains MFC have publicly shopped an A grade contracted player only for him to be rejected by his long time suitor - in and of it's own this would have been the worst potential outcome when first considering this move.

    Yep. That's what happened. FMD

    Whatever happens, I just hope this doesn't drag on until last minute Wednesday.

    Freo can afford to wait once the Neale trade is done. We cant, if we want May and dont have a plan B for getting him without Freos pick.

    GC may also refuse to trade May if it gets too late in the period as it leaves them no time to use what we give them. They've already said something along those lines.

    Very happy about Preuss, but probably in minority when I say I didn't want Tyson to go.

    He certainly had his limitations, but I think a lot of his good work went unnoticed and unappreciated.

    Anyway, he's gone now and good luck to him.

    I wonder who joeboys 'same three words regardless of actual performance' player will be now....

    A poster on Bigfooty has said that a 9 Perth reporter, has tweeted that JH's Manager met with another club today, about JH.

    Do we have another interested party?

    Interesting.

    Wasn't JH's "open to leaving" declaration with the disclaimer that it had to be Freo?

    Incidentally, what was his aversion to going to WC?  Recall someone saying a while back that he wouldn't go there?

    I’m sure the royal use to have a smear of jam in them, last pack I bought didn’t though.  Do you crack the chocolate that covers the marshmallow on your forehead before you eat them as well? 

    They did, and they also used to be bigger.

    Everything is getting so goddamn small these days. 

    Remember in the 'old days' where you could actually get your hand inside a Pringles tube?  Now only a little kid could do it, and I have to shake the [censored] out!  ?

    So two different takes on the same story...

    Final offer from Freo which we have rejected - Trade Radio, TV news

    First official offer from Freo, which we have rejected, but we are still talking - PerthNOW

    Which is it?

    The latter would make more sense, given as some have already noted, that is all they actually have to offer as we speak.
