Redleg

Well I would add dumb as an adjective then. Clearly he got the statue for his playing not for being President. Also as I said earlier, to compare using the rules to manipulate a PP, as done and admitted by several clubs and ticked off as ok by the then CEO Demetriou, with injecting unknown drugs into players, is just plain stupid. It is actually a shameful proposition. Why did she feel the need to go there in the first place?

If she said that she is just a b-tch. Jimmy through Reach, did an amazing amount of good work for the community and was a trailblazing Irish footballer, who won a Brownlow and holds the record for consecutive games, often playing through serious injury. He is also not alive and unable to defend himself, not that he needs to. Comparing trying to get a PP, which many have admitted to doing, with injecting unknown drugs into players. Disgusting comment.

If wife and kids go home, most likely husband/father does too.

Le Cras was actually trying to leave, Nev wouldn't let go of his jumper.

I think they would have their eyes on Kelly, who they could most likely get for the compo pick for Gaff and also save cap room. If that is happening they clearly won't match. The real question is who will Gaff nominate.

Cleaner has vetoed it, as he won't pick up his mess ( thrown food ) in the change rooms.

Let's throw in some other factors though they may mean little. Gaff was a Dees fan. Dees are on the up with a talented young squad. He would automatically be our best outside mid. If he played 100 games with us and had a son who was good enough, the son would be eligible to play in his home state with Dad's club. Life membership of the MCC . Play most games on the G. Promise of good employment after footy with one of our financially strong supporters. Good contract, though not the best available, but enough to make him financially secure. He want's Redleg and his family cheering for him.

18 is still in the first round.

But if they match the offer they lose their compo and would want something as good as Gaff. That is where the attraction would be lost.

Isn’t a major part of the attraction that he comes free?

Not a blooper but probably a big fib. Woosher all week said Goddard and the club were on the same page about his future. Today we learn that Goddard was shocked to learn that he was being delisted and totally disagreed with the decision. Yep on the same page.

Would be happy to play Cats at G in our final and pay them back for our 2 close losses this year. Viney in won’t hurt. Don’t think he played in either game.

Agree with all, but note that Spargo actually got Barrass around the neck and you can see his hand over Barrass's shoulder. It was a correct decision, but yes, as usual there were several others. I thought we got a much better run than usual over there.

Must have been the tackle on Barrass, where he gave away the free for over the shoulder. To give him credit though, he ran about 60 metres to lay that tackle.

The revival started with PJ and he deserves our gratitude.

No you didn't call me out, you made up something that I didn't say, that I hated him. I have said that I don't hate him. You have refused to acknowledge that. I admit that I don't rate him. I will deal with that. You deal with the fact you make things up and cannot back down when you are shown to be wrong.

Probably something similar to Deledio, though Deledio wanted to leave the Tigers and Jack didn't want to leave us. I feel a bit sorry for Jack, but he hopefully has next year to try again. At the same time I also feel sorry for JT. Both boys were loyal Dees and would have loved to play finals with us.

I think Jeffy may have lost the trust of the FD.

Bit hard for him when he has a minimum of two opponents and we bomb the ball in to him, instead of kicking it to his advantage. Perfect example was the Heeney mark, where Pedo kicked it over his head as he led out. Put the ball in front of him and he marks and has a shot for goal. Jesse is an extremely talented player and will be part of our next flag attempt. Hopefully we bring in more skill to deliver the ball properly and give him and the other forwards more chances to score.

Still a long way from hate though. Not rating a player and hating him are two different things. I don't rate him and I don't hate him. Then again, I didn't rate James Harmes highly previously, because of his poor disposal, but this year he has improved in all areas and I rate him as our biggest improver and an important component of our side. Things do change and opinions do as well.

We are f....d.

He has had personal issues for a while, that might be the cause.

Hate is a pretty strong word to use for a player of my club, who I support, but don’t rate as highly as you do.

Not sure if that is completely correct, but he is playing well and getting a lot of contested ball. He has well and truly earned his spot.

We need to beat GWS so we can play the Cats at the G, or would you prefer to play GWS again at their home ground in an elimination final?
