That particular mouth has needed to be washed out before. :) But sounds like both sides have walked away. If we dont get a free agent we are still holding pretty much a royal flush in players going into next year, ruck withstanding. if Tyson and Kent are traded we are still well in the 2nd and 3rd round of the draft.

If Jesse wants to stay, he stays. if he wants to go, Im pretty confident he and the club would look after each other.

How many "close this threads" calls were on Jack Watts thread? It doesnt look to me as if Jesse is happy at MFC at all.At all. If he is as staunch as stated fine, but I dont believe it.

Disclaimer: I thought Brayshaw was Gone earlier this year. Now I think that we need to look at future picks. We dont have a 1st rounder this year and although we have done well with later picks last year, Id like to shore up some talent. I think Hogan is worth about what Jake Lever is. If that is so, Id like it to be a 1st round this year and another one next year. I think Tyson, Bugg are later picks but Oscar should be worth a bit. All speculation of course. Love all the players but make hay while the sun shines.

If as it seems, that jumper punching will incur suspension, there needs to be a change to allow forwards and midfielders to get away from grabbing hands that stop them from leading and spreading. In Buggs case it was Heeney that was holding his jumper and that looked the same with Andy Brayshaw as Gaff was attempting to run into space. Im not sure of the answer but disallowing a player to get free needs to be looked at.

I agree actually. But I was laughing at the comments on the Instagram he put up of Fed cops waiting for Gaff at Tullamarine. What a [censored] I thought!Then it was true! He deserves it anyway I guess.

I feel sorry for Mark Stevens. People are so unkind.

There has been an over reaction to Gaff's stupid punch IMO. I can see the arc swinging back in a day or two to sympathy for the devil. It is a huge blot in an otherwise stellar career. I think 6 weeks and a genuine apology would see it over.

they could have red carded 6 GWS players against the Blues then. Still won by 90+ points.

1. Need for his skills 2. Ability to get him. Daylight....

one of the options discussed a week or so ago is that the penalty includes at least one week against the team whom the incident happened against. i.e 6 weeks and a week when the Derby rolls around again.

He has been the catalyst of our sudden leap in inside 50's. Add in Tom Mac's return and Lever grooving into the backline, he has started the party. Fantastic return to form that I had doubted.

Watched the Goodbye to Ripponlea studios on the ABC last night. Excellent show. May have noticed a well known Demonlander in one of the shots.

Im happy. A future 1st round pick means we can trade into 15-18 and hand that over. Thats about what we may get for Jack Watts.

I would like to know if Barry Prendergast barracks for Melbourne or Carlton.

You cant choose. Youre stuck forever. Suck it up.

Im just impressed with all respect posters are showing to each other. Things that could have degenerated haven't.

Many recite possession numbers. And Tyson has high possesion counts. His disposal is [censored] and has been for 2 years. You seem to think it isnt a big deal. I do think it is because I see us running out of gas 18 weeks into the season this year and last. My view is we are contesting fine but players are wearied from not getting enough clean balls to lighten their load and eventually it kills the team. Hawthorns well known ability to pinpoint kicks and handballs helped keep them fresh into September. Tysons not the only one but he is obvious because he can get the pill.

Thanks Eric

Is Sam still a Nights Watch? If so, he cant inherit. So then does that make his bastard "Little Sam" head of House Tarly? I read somewhere that Bastards can inherit if no other Legit progeny exits. Therefore Gendry has a claim too. I understand that technically Little Sam isnt a true Tarly but hey..

Why do they need to capture a white walker? Why not good old uncle BenJen? Or a child of the forest? And whats with this cut throats dagger being passed around? Is it possible that it was the original dagger that produced the Nights King and it will show up in the very last battle with him?And does the marriage annulment mean that Jon Snow is actually the true Targaryan ruler? My mind is either GoT or Dees best 22. No room for anything else.

Be interesting to see how much currency Gibbs and Gaz have at their respective ages.

This still stinks.

I was told a different story last weekend. Not that I believe it but it went like: Hird's fervent denial that the players were injected with supplements depends on his belief that Dank had taken money for "the good stuff" but that Dank had not gone through with injecting the team with what he (Dank), finally realised was now prohibited. Hird found out the injections were actually saline and that Dank had not come through and had dudded Hird. Thats why Hird was wanting to have the actual records and not what was discussed and paid for. Obviously even if this was true, his intent was real. Not sure if this had been thrown up before as I hadnt kept up with the thread.
