  1. 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..
  2. 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.
  3. Be interesting to see how much currency Gibbs and Gaz have at their respective ages.
  4. 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.

    My barometer is set on Dawes. It will be sackcloth and ashes if we need to keep him.
  6. Am I the only one who doesnt really care if we dont have that many nominations? 2 or 3 are plenty.
  7. It looks to me that: He doesnt have great balance by the time he kicks. He is reasonably accurate anyway which is not a great defense. He is giving the impression he doesnt want to be coached.
  8. That is one tough handshake. How good is this kid? Go Clarry!
  9. I understand momentum to have a mass behind it. I wasnt kidding that I was with you, but Id have used the word "Promises". Just because things need to run to plan and the phrase "As long as...." isnt vital to our improvement.
  10. I was right with you up till "momentum"
  11. "Playing Tall" always reminds me of Brad Green and Cam Bruce. Brad played tall at 183cm but Cam's 190 cm always seemed shorter.
  12. Id say better than even chance. I want him traded.
  13. I'd like to see other teams need to fill the space he leads into. Oh that's right he doesn't lead. I'd also be happy with Tom Mac teaching him all about one grabbers.
  14. Well Rory Sloane re-signed after his parents moved back from Adelaide to Upwey. Well done Adelaide, I guess. Bad luck Saints and Dees who both had claims. I thought he was gone.
  15. Brian Nankervis - Collingwood Tex Perkins - St Kilda Paul Kelly - Adelaide (previously Melbourne) David Hobson - Melbourne David Larkins (Dallas Crane) - Essendon (currently working at MFC)
  16. Ive heard from 2 quite different sources that the saints are going for 2 meter Peter. If not him they are trading for a tall forward i.e. Cameron. Both the sources Ive heard from are believed to be in the know from other saint supporters. I just hope we dont get the Petracca pick traded from right in front of us.
  17. I think North would be prepared to pay way over the odds for Brayshaw. If we happen to be in position to exploit that, why wouldnt we? As mdemonski2 says my thoughts drifted to Jake Ziebell, too. As a 23yr old he would certainly be a great get as Crossy sunsets. But other than him, I dont know what they have that they would be prepared to trade, or that we would take.
  18. I wonder if we could deal with North for a player and their #13 pick so they could get Brayshaw?

    Those who do not remember the past are condemned to repeat it.
  20. I always picture Grant Thomas when I see B-H posts. Very good at summarizing players abilities, can be illuminating at times, very good football knowledge and strong self confidence. Not caring in the least what other opinions may be. He doesnt usually come on only to negate others posts (which unfortunately some other interesting posters do) but he is pretty good at it.
  21. Ray Donovan has gone to the top of my "look for new episodes" list. Not for everyone and it Takes a little bit to get used to, but the character Jon Voight plays is a classic.
  22. Robbo was a really bad kick at goal for a couple of years before he got his action correct. Admittadly goal kicking is not field kicking but IIRC Robbo came off a low base and became quite a good shot.
  23. There is at least one family I know who had a board member at that time who now dont follow Melbourne. Sad.
