    I disagree, they have been irrelevant for 20 years but there still a big club 82000 plus members. We can only dream of that number.

    memberships are meaningless if they don't turn up to watch the team play, primarily because of the performance of the team

    It’s kinda funny watching such a big club with so few fans there. Hopefully they are broken for good.

    they're only a 'big' club because the medja says they are

    they've not really been so for 20 years

    You’ve clearly lost the plot. TMac had 17 disposals & 11 marks & you want to drop our best defender? [censored].

    Well, not with Lever out injured I don’t 😜

    IN: May, Spargo, Petty

    OUT: Lever, Tholstrup, Sparrow

    Good point. I guess hindsight is always there, you see where Hogan is now and it’s a deflating feeling knowing we could have genuine forward.

    we had two; sideshow bob and plugger mac!

    Crazy to let go of Hogan

    Missed out on those 18 goals he kicked for Freo

    And all we got was May and a flag

    plus sparrow

    two premiership players for a future gw$ coleman medallist

    Been that way for 10-15 yrs.

    We got Hogan and decided to send him on his way.

    Loads of great players have been given the boot. Insanity.

    "decided" to send hogan on his way?? insomuch as doing that trade contributed significantly to our premiership, sure

    the only other true key forward i can recall having on our list between neitz and hogan is mitch clark and, well, there were other issues at play there in the end beyond injury

    we've definitely lost some ripper players to homesickness, but there's not many clubs who don't

    I wish they add weeks to his suspension, in no way was he going for the ball.

    that only happens to mfc players; reckon anb was the ONLY player to contest a 3 week ban and come out of the tribunal with 4

    I think the problem is either/both are only coming to us if the money is absurd

    the other issue is if we're giving away oliver for little (a second round pick), paying overs for flanders (two first round picks), and then paying the former $500k to play elsewhere and the latter $1m, aren't we better off just keeping clayton?

    i can't believe i'm missing clarry's 200th but alas, the hives

    i'm not sure i entirely agree with this chat gpt summary (mostly cos abba do nothing for me; roxette were a far superior pop group), but rest assured that every cheer for howlin' pelle will be also directed towards the boys in red and blue at the g

    The Hives are Sweden’s greatest musical export since ABBA—if ABBA had chugged Red Bull, set their amps on fire, and screamed at you in matching suits. Formed in the sleepy town of Fagersta in the early 1990s, The Hives burst onto the garage rock scene with all the subtlety of a marching band falling down a flight of stairs. Fronted by the inimitable Howlin' Pelle Almqvist—who struts like Mick Jagger after eight espressos—they quickly developed a reputation for high-octane performances, tight white blazers, and songs that last two minutes but leave you feeling like you ran a marathon.

    The band claims they were put together and are secretly controlled by a mysterious Svengali known only as Randy Fitzsimmons, who, depending on whom you ask, is either their sixth member, their alter ego, or a figment of a very stylish fever dream. What’s certain is that Fitzsimmons (real or not) has penned nearly all their songs, and they have milked this mysterious backstory harder than a lactose-intolerant cow.

    Musically, The Hives sound like a jet engine being lovingly tuned by Elvis Costello during a fistfight. They took over early-2000s airwaves with hits like “Hate to Say I Told You So” and “Main Offender,” managing to be both blisteringly punk and radio-friendly—like The Ramones if they’d discovered conditioner and choreographed stage moves. They became global rockstars while still somehow giving off the energy of five Swedish teenagers trying to impress their local youth center.

    Today, The Hives continue to tour the world like glam-punk missionaries, spreading the good word of rock 'n' roll and reminding everyone that true greatness lies in three chords, maximum volume, and dressing like monochrome penguin gangsters. And if you ever see Pelle leap into the crowd with his mic held like Thor’s hammer, don’t worry—it’s all part of the sermon.

    Goes no.1 in most other drafts.

    As close to the full package as we've had in a while. Not just a great kick technically but a smart kick in the way he puts it to advantage.

    Super quick thinker as well, I just love having him on our team.

    lalor looks a jet, o'sullivan is super smooth, smith has been injured, draper looks good, and levi ashcroft looks like a gem

    very, very happy with langford at pick 6, not to mention lindsay at pick 11

    had forgotten about spargo; his vfl game was excellent

    IN: may, spargo, petty
    OUT: plugger mac, sparrow, tholstrup

    i love tommy, but if may is fit it's the only change to make - big body tall defender for bigger brute tall defender

    tholstrup doesn't really play as a 'small' forward so petty can replace him in the forward line, while spargo gives the forward pressure position coverage in sparrow's enforced absence

    the other one is howes might come in for lever, although i suspect he'll stay in the side
