  1. Then so is everyone else who does the same, but that isn’t what has been happening. Only one more week for concussing him, under the guidelines, really?
  2. There you have it. Mills left the ground and took a small guy out front on and a week as no concussion. AJ came from the side and jumped up and bumped a 188cm player high and also no concussion. How can AJ get more than Mills? They tell us it is outcome based, except for no name players from lower profile clubs. So if he knocked out NWM he only gets one more week, seriously?
  3. Agree with that, but my point was which players since say Langdon, have we recruited from other clubs, who are regular 23 players. If you look at Hawks, Pies and Cats for example, they have added good players to their lists. There are FA’s who you don’t need to spend your draft picks on.
  4. Corrected it thanks.
  5. If consistent then one as no concussion. Think Callum Mills smashing Spargo for one week.
  6. Correct, he was playing VFL the second time we added him and has shown some form, but again was recruited more for depth.
  7. Some of the posts on here are truly hysterical, like the ones that suggest any AFL game is a percentage booster. I posted to one such poster that those are the games we regularly lose. Bingo!
  8. It continues a recent tradition of recruiting nqr players from other clubs and then being stuck with them, Billings Fullarton Sharp Hore Schache Hunter and McAdam recently, while other clubs like Cats, Pies and Hawks for example find several who become regulars, Who have we got since Langdon that has been successful, I can’t recall any?
  9. Chris Fagan isn’t stupid.
  10. 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.
  11. Every time someone says that we lose.
  12. 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.
  13. 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.
  17. Poor old sub, always left out.
  18. Nice change from the first five games.
  19. 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.
  20. Correct, he has become an absolute must keep. From those in the know it should be ok.
  21. Played on a half back who runs, instead of in tight tagging, which he has been so good at.
  22. 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.
  23. 13000 at Marvel for Saints v Suns. Is Derwayne going beserk about it?
  24. We do, we are 18th.
  25. Well you never know.
