  1. Chris Fagan isn’t stupid.
  2. Agree, but at least it came at game 327 and age 35. Has it been confirmed? He has had a great AFL career and will not be lost to footy, probably as an assistant coach, once the dust settles.
  3. Every time someone says that we lose.
  4. Think it’s the beautiful Hedy Lamar, movie actress who interestingly was a brilliant scientist and who invented frequency hopping technology, which led to WiFi and GPS tracking.
  5. As Team Manager of the Dees in 1979, I was given the warning not to loiter in the race at Victoria Park, if I didn’t want to be drenched in urine from the feral Pies fans, who would do it in a coffee cup or empty beer can and throw it on the visiting team and officials as they used the race.

    It was the fact that Moore’s injury was partially self inflicted, due to his dropping to his knees unexpectedly, a second before Kozzie bumped him. That action could not have been foreseen or reacted to in time, yet that was ignored by the Pies Premiership payer MRO and the mad Pies fan Tribunal chairman in their findings.

    Well generally it is except maybe where Kozzie is concerned. Still can’t get over the 3 weeks for the Moore incident. We win against Giants with him in.

    Outcome based system.
  9. Poor old sub, always left out.
  10. Nice change from the first five games.
  11. I don’t think it is lauding him, it is recognizing the things he brings. 6 possessions of themselves is not the determinate, as they could have been 6 goals and then he would be close to one of the best. We are all recognizing he is no star, best described as a battler, but brings great effort and crashes packs creating opportunities and yesterday he directly assisted 4 goals. I think the opposition looks around when he is nearby, as he has a bit of the Dustin Fletcher clumsiness, that can hurt accidentally of course.
  12. Correct, he has become an absolute must keep. From those in the know it should be ok.
  13. Played on a half back who runs, instead of in tight tagging, which he has been so good at.
  14. AJ is all effort and while low in skill, note the dropped chest mark 20 out and the fumbled handball, he assisted with 4 goals and some crunching tackles. Every team needs an AJ, who will crunch packs, put his body on the line and play the selfless footy that team mates love.
  15. 13000 at Marvel for Saints v Suns. Is Derwayne going beserk about it?
  16. We do, we are 18th.
  17. Well you never know.
  18. Hawks have it down to an art form. Even Garry and Dunstall were acknowledging it.
  19. The fact we are now adapting to a new game style and that so many players are invested in the Coach, including players we want to keep and even players we want to get, to move him on now could be a backwards step.
  20. He is teaching me more about footy than I believed possible at my age, after having watched the game for so long. Well done Jeff. Would make a great ruck coach, forward game scout and game analyst for us.
  21. I think you need to change lily pads.
  22. I can’t imagine if someone did that to Nick Daicos in the first few minutes of a final. They would be calling for the death penalty.
  23. Why should we be surprised? According to the MRO Hardwick didn’t trip Kozzie and Maynard did nothing wrong in ending Gus’s AFL career.
  24. Well that's about as positive as we can hope for. BTW who is Narkle's partner, is she another sister of Ardu?
  25. Great win by the boys against the Lions and the sack Goody calls may have stopped for a while. Time for Uncle Bitters to crack open another wine cask and open the Coles’ cheese slices.
