Relax. No need to shout R&B. Mr. Redleg can have his input.

Hence why I give my unequivocal full support for Fremantle to pursue him. To fill their KPF spot.

Crows reportedly prepared to offer him only 2 yrs.

BUMP My god he wants 4 years..... Please Freo....give him SIX!!

The Hulk and NO B$ Thread? lol

By Jingoes. 8 more posts until 20,000. Let's break out the banana's. Redleg, you still happy with the thread title? When JH signs, can we re-name it?

Horses for courses seems to be the topic. Mind off footy for the moment. Which well known horses performed better on tracks like Flemington than that of the tight circuit of Moonee Valley? And conversely, which horses suited Moonee Valley to the bigger tracks? Was Sunline a MV specialist? I know Makybe Diva preferred Flemington. The best horses though thrived at both/all tracks, when they had that extraordinary engine, power. When we look at St.Kilda, when they're on, they're definitely on. Their game against the Hawks proved that - good formline. I knew it was going to be a battle to win. They have a well planned and astute coach, who would have noticed our efforts down back against Essendon causing mismatches. We need a better organised back six. And I believe we missed Olivers clearance work and thought so last week. To be honest, the venue is just an excuse for mine.

Now there's someone who we haven't seen in a while. Jack Frost. Hasn't been seen since last early Spring.

Could get interesting after this weekends matches at the top!

Leaving his contract talks until the end of the year could prove costly IMO. Of course in time, things can change and if we're say - 7 and 4 - at half way for example (only an example!), I'd be doing my best to re-sign an extension/new contract for Hogan before the end of season. ie. After the QB game. Because with Freo - whilst they can still turn things around - they would be right now behind the scenes planning and moving heaven and earth to nail something positive down, based on their direction. Hogan would be a huge coup - as big as them signing Ross Lyon whilst he was at St.Kilda. More than likely, they've already spoken to him. As they've done with McCarthy and Hooker. All our club can do is keep winning, keep the momentum up and encourage the players to stick together (sign for less if need be). Sign new sponsors, break records, voodoo's, and climb the ladder. And prove that the new environment is worth sticking around for greater things to come. Lyon doesn't want to commit to the word re-build, which is why he is highlighting the word "transition" - because the word "re-build" causes a collective sigh and a re-think - even those on the Eastern Sea Board that are always watching.

I want him.

No doubt he'll be paid handsomely. But if he's seeking very large coin ie. excessive , he'd want to eradicate some of his clanger field kicking. He turned it over just as much as TMac did, Sunday night.

I'd like to think it's more than just a couple of years. Yes, they've done some hard yards, but IMO the hard work is only just starting. And it is indeed an exciting time to be a Melbourne supporter. Do not rest, keep ticking boxes, keep recruiting, keep the development resources high, because the doors will now start to open as a destination club.

Fixed. Let's not get ahead of ourselves though. Tigers are the main focus. They will need to play at their best to beat Richmond. Like they'll need to play their best each and every week.

I expect both back, and both underdone.

Saw this game last week. Hammers were huge. They're in fine form. The draw against Leicester didn't suprise me one bit. They've only lost 6 and they'll be kicking themselves if they miss top 4 (which is almost certainty now). 13 draws. No.9 in fine form, good things happen when he's involved.

touch wood!! So true. If anyone tunnels him or injures him in a sling tackle, I'll be hunting them down.

Please let it be Freo.

You'd think the AFL would have enough finances to ensure all grounds hosting AFL matches during the season would have ALL available angled cameras set up for umpire review. The issue in the first quarter: - Goldstein took the ball over the line before bringing it back Goldstein touched goal post with ball in hand. Umpire Review had very limited angle viewings - it may have only been 1-2 angles.

What's done is done. I entirely agree with all of Redleg's examples. And even if you reverse 25% of these points old dee, I'm almost certain the result would be different. That said, the team made some poor choices during the game and poor execution which also contributed. Just one massive frustration.

One of those morons needs to use a tape measure too. A 15m tape measure. The moron has no idea how far 15m is. Probably the same moron that does not know how to pay a mark too.

The ground was softer than what we've been training on...

WI take out the T20 in the Men & Women! Does anyone know what odds that multi would have been pre-tournament?

Go Foxes!

NZ should be the biggest exporter of UGG boots. Their economy would survive the most tumultuos times ahead if they just keep up with their deep desire for producing sheep.
