I'll retract it for you too BBP as you'll be down there when we play them.

Alright, but only for you!

All journos at that level occasionally get things wrong. I'm not talking about the mistake Redleg mentioned as I do think that was a silly error on her part but if we're talking about calling stories before they break and getting them horribly wrong? Even Sheahan did that. I don't always agree with her, on some issues I'm completely opposed as a matter of fact but if she isn't one of the best heavy hitters going round then who is?

And then there was one OOC ruckman..

Yeah starting to think we could have used Hunt or Rivers. Can't afford to let Cameron run us ragged.

Practically giving tickets away! Will be one of the few occasions not about lining the AFL's pockets and about something much bigger. Get on down!

That's it, maybe he just has too many 'Yes' people in his circle LH. Pretty easy to find drinking buddies but you are who you roll with at the end of the day.

Get on board peeps!

Sort of like: "If we lose tonight then we are X and I will Y all over the place"?

Not to prolong this more than it needs to be but the one constant I find with De Goey in all these scenarios is that he's alone. Rarely mention of teammates or close friends being present. I brought up Chris Tarrant before but I remember most of his indiscretions were with teammates there, usually Ben Johnson. Could be one of these lone ranger party animals that likes the buzz of venturing out and getting attention like a Wayne Carey back in the day. Possibly addicted to the thrill of it. I don't know, just a thought.

Exactly, that's what it's about right now. Getting over the line, even if ugly. Freo and Bris have been doing that, we haven't.

I do like him, works great in that kind of forward line, undecided on whether he'd be a good fit for us. Seems like a Mihocek type which you'd hardly sneeze at but can they be the focal point? It would come down to what happens with our other forwards come season's end I guess. Upgrade from Mitch Brown no doubt though!

I quite like Shannon Gill's stuff and he's a fellow demon. Shame it's paywalled :(

That's it, let's get as many there as we can and if possible some donations. It all counts!

Gameday people. Gear yourself up for the rickety billy cart ride down!

Take your point, teams can change sometimes when they become more successful and there was an intent to hurt late in that game. I do agree to an extent on Zorko too he’s become a bit of a yapper. I do like a lot about the Lions though starting with their coach. Daniher was mentioned before elsewhere, I get that but you can pretty much go through every club and find one player like that which you don’t like, even at Melbourne. You take a bit of the bad with the good. it’s when the weight of numbers get out of control that I decide to really dislike clubs. The only VIC clubs I’d be ok to see win it are the Cats (unpopular I know) and maybe St Kilda and even then the idea that other Vic footy fans would get to be there for it is still too soon.

On the plus side, at least he's a top 25 ranked ruckman!

+1 Freo. Followed by Bris, GC the maybe Swans. Everyone else can cram it.

Go on..

If they think De Goey missing training after a bye and a trip to Bali is a better look than when the story broke then they've got some serious PR to do.

Wow Winners, that is pretty darn cool.

The last time I would have gone to the Baxter Tavern would have been when I was playing club soccer and we played Baxter FC at that ground in Flinders Rd. We suffered a cricket score drubbing and ended up there haha. Saw the Tatts and Angels a few times in their later years. The one thing you'd get from those gigs was a fun night that’s for sure!

What an experience Binman, the one and only Warren Zevon! One of the smartest songwriters for sure and you certainly couldn't box him into one genre. Any other big acts grace the old Baxter?

Does anyone remember 'The Run Home' with Dermott, Huddo and Matt Hardy the comedian? One of the first drive time shows on SEN I think.

Well whether or not it has anything to do with him not being in line for selection at least he can now focus on his footy without this business hanging around in the background.
