    Lol only when we lose, loser. To be fair, death, taxes, MFC totally chits the bed in a season defining game and random thread...
  2. About 7 years ago I tried to convince the then fiancĆ© (now wife) that we should be buying in Footscray, itā€™s in the up and up and we can get a bargain/make a mint in resale... she was sceptical. I organised a few viewings for a Sat morning to convince her... got there nice and early and wanted to show her around the area and see how eclectic and diverse it was, wandered up and down Barkly st and surrounds for around an hour.. by the time we made it back to the car to head off to the first viewing she was in tears! ā€œDonā€™t make me live here, Iā€™m too pretty for this place!ā€ I may have suggested she is ok but donā€™t get ahead of yourself... was a funny morning and weā€™ve never been back.
  3. I didnā€™t think he was leaving at the time, I didnā€™t think weā€™d be in the frame to pick up Harely let alone get him on the park in year 1... who knows but youā€™d lean towards it being unlikely to happen for a number of reasons already raised in the thread. Would he be a positive or negative acquisition for our young playing group or could or leaders help lead him on and off the field? At his best itā€™s a no brainer but has many chances to hurt long term. Whatever happens, good luck Jesse.

    Wowweee that is some good news, as always if 100% accurate. Iā€™m sure Iā€™ve read on here that Bartlett and Pert havenā€™t been doing enough..
  5. Yes that is fair enough. Iā€™m so nervous for this one, the Crows/north were ones we needed to win and did so handily. Pies win was pretty ho-hum for mine, they were so depleted, this is the big test indeed. Our backline has looked really good but Naughton (May takes him) is a very good player who will be a star in the not too distant future. Bruce has been terrible this season but has the Benā€™s (Kingsleyā€™s) about him. Doggies love multiple goal kickers from the smalls and mids. The way they play worries me because they have the inside mids to give us some trouble at the clearance along with the ability to spread very fast. If Bont moves fwd that could cause issues too. We need our mids to be really on top and the D to keep growing as a unit weā€™ve seen the last 3 weeks.
  6. Can we please stop calling him some jovial nickname, his name is Damian and heā€™s a f log of the highest order. Trying to tear someone down because they expressed an opinion and doing so because that person showed emotion in a stressful scenario after years of inner turmoil because of his knees. 90% of coaches/clubs would be on the front foot saying Lynchā€™s actions are not on.... not the Tigers.
  7. Yea I agree, Tmac looked the closest heā€™s been all season last week. I think it would be an interesting experiment with BP up forward but maybe not the season/current ladder position to be doing so.
  8. Phheeew, how quickly Pruessy has become indispensable*. * until Max is fit but you may think about Pruess staying on and Tmac having a rest.
  9. Is Trenners still on the list?
  10. Unless you don't have one...
  11. Genuine out loud laughs on that, thanks Rusty I needed that.
  12. Its been so hard sleeping in our own homes and beds every night!! https://www.thefootycorner.com/2020/08/18/dayne-zorko-says-the-season-has-also-been-hard-on-brisbane/
  13. He's 24 and played 79 games!!!! His best years are ahead and hopefully all going to be at the Dees!
  14. The we donā€™t have as big a budget as the Pies effect?
  15. Yelling and screaming at the TV, kicking the cat and dog, scaring the kids and having the wife close the lounge door on me I think is very social.
  16. @woz nice work coming out of the gates firing on all cylinders!
  17. Itā€™s a toss up but at the very least I think youā€™ve got to give him the chance to get to 300, IF list sizes donā€™t change and he is happy on close ā€œminimumā€ wage. There are plenty of examples either way where itā€™s been fine to get a player to a milestone or not.
  18. If I was her Iā€™d just focus on keeping Covid out, that should be enough but good point LD.
  19. And heā€™s the only one who plays a blinder on the day but blows out a calf deep into the last? Youā€™re a mean person!
  20. If I was her... nothing.... I'd tell Gil to say yes or his clubs can go to NT and play...
  21. "We" almost did...
  22. Only when he bleeds.

    In the current times thatā€™s a massive score for most teams.
