Redleg

No, we are.

Good point R&B. The fighting on other threads and nastiness towards other posters, is something we avoid on this far more adult and intellectual thread.

And this thread is the sanctuary from that DL lunatic asylum. It is like an oasis in the desert.

I would be so happy to make you happy. I think our boys would be feral if we met the Cats in a final. Defeat would just be unacceptable to them.

There is no better news breaker after the event than Ethan. He is a Giant among his peers.

I would not want to lose Jesse, but if he indicated he wanted to go home and with FA approaching, I would ask for Freo's first pick and Cerra and Brayshaw or something similar and tell them do that deal or we will trade him to the Eagles. We could then take a key forward with that pick and hope he comes up.

The Coach and the Players. The Team Managing was sensational.

You can put that miraculous turnaround down to the amazing feats of the MFC Team Manager at the time, a genius of a man. Oh, wait a minute, that was me.

I try so hard.

Gotta win this week, but I forgot, we are f....d.

If we lose and Cats win a 61 point total would see them above us and us playing GWS again. We need to win this week and score a home final against the Cats.

Would love to knock the Cats out of the finals.

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.
