  1. Success is getting what you want. Happiness is wanting what you get. Are we successful, or just happy?
  2. Making too much money in the media, to lose it for an assistant coaching job.
  3. Well at least we didn't kick badly this weekend.
  4. Not on what I have seen in the last 7 years.
  5. What the tanking/non tanking finding? But Maynard was found not guilty of even careless conduct. Therefore he is innocent and so were we, but I get your point.
  6. So why then would the AFL say no help to us over a few seasons, where they said we had good players and prospects, when both proved absolutely incorrect and we remained at the bottom of the ladder? I acknowledge the Frawley pick and the Trengove pick, but that was about it as fas as I recall. I am not against some help to perennially poor performers but it has to be measured not ridiculous.
  7. We have really thrown away a potential flag. We beat both those GF sides this season.
  8. I think Kane would be concerned not to be biased. If that was incorrect, you could expect Mahoney to help us and hinder Dodoro.
  9. Except that posters have said he is going to Dodoro and that means we will pay them. McAdam has probably 2 good seasons left, so will not be expensive in trade pick.
  10. Love that female Dees team, they are fantastic. My favourite, number 5 Tyla Hanks.
  11. Possibly your best ever post. Won’t find any non feral who disagrees.
  12. 8 arcs in a row to Carlton. Last one called a goal and arc said it touched the hair of Acres. Seriously? This arc is changing results of games and we certainly know it.
  13. I am not sure, but I think I am perceiving a hint of sarcasm.
  14. Not seeing something splashed on the front page, doesn’t mean it isn’t in the pipeline.
  15. Nick Daicos jumper punch won’t even be mentioned.
  16. Vomitous. So predictable.
  17. Greene being scragged non stop.
  18. So even though JJ is a FA, I wonder if there is some deal if he goes there, that gives us 11.
  19. They are also cribbing the mark every time without penalty. It’s a clear tactic. No surprise 5 frees Pies to 1 GWS.
  20. I can't believe the Blues dropped Kemp. I would get into his ear about coming to us. 192 cm defender/forward. He would look better in red and blue.
  21. If the AFL do give North 3 and 11 they have gone mad, or are madder than I thought they were. North have the basis of a good side and after this off season will be even stronger.
  22. They probably did, but we were garbage too. However, I don't remember any additional pick, like the 11 that is being rumoured as an extra sweetener and still another sweetener, like Sanders being added late to North's NGA. Frawley had played 139 games in 8 years when he left us. Average 17.5 games a year. MvKay has played 71 in 7 years. Average 10.1 games per year. We lost a lot more for pick 3, than they will lose for pick 3 and 11.
  23. He went for $2.2m over 4 years at $550k per year in 2014, which is worth $750k per year in today’s dollar purchase equivalent. Pretty similar to McKay’s rumoured contract of $800k from Hawks, which he knocked back for less from Bombers, except that Frawley was a far superior footballer.
  24. What we have said all along. Collingwood has no intention of trying to wriggle out of any contract obligations to Brodie Grundy despite him moving onto a third club in the coming trade period. Despite trade speculation the Pies might ask the AFL if they still had a responsibility to pay Grundy $250,000 a season for four more years, Collingwood is aware of its commitment. They signed a heads of agreement with Grundy rather than the Demons to pay a portion of his contract, with Melbourne paying the extra $650,000 plus. It means while Melbourne will remove his salary on a deal through to 2027 the Pies will hold up their end of the bargain.
  25. He is streets ahead of McKay and got a fat contract from the Hawks. A premiership full back.
