  1. Please...such righteous indignation !! Actually players in the sense of being part of a list are exactly commodities. They are 'bought' "traded' " written down" . You don't like it...fair enough. Don't come the raw prawn though and have it only your way. If you take offence to the way some view the whole shebang you're likely to be offended again. Maybe find a 'nice' thread. I have no disrespect for any player as a person. Nor have I any real interest in them other than as a player. As a player they have their bit to do. They either do it or they don't. That's absolutely fair game for review as in my opinion their place on the list . You probably best steer well away from any List manager's office.
  2. I can recall myself thinking he was a real looker. Apparently not ??
  3. Is it just possible we move on ? Good luck to the lad . Not for us.
  4. Thankyou ... It's relevant .
  5. Par for the course... unwarranted adjudication.. play through
  6. Please provide a pro forma Love to see it. It's called discussion.
  7. I take it you do ..... Now !! ???
  8. A lot of us... everywhere have wondered just what can he be. He's starting to crack the shell and get it together....but by the standards of what we perceive his abilities to be he's just on his way. Keep going lad... keep going
  9. Or counter: Not be truly fit...but come straight in ? Because that happens.
  10. But does he have to try and kick the skin off the footy !! ??

    Neck minnit ... Break out into Can't Stop The Music https://g.co/kgs/JPGcgk
  16. Dr I fear what you prescribe will not be palatable medicine for some ? Talking Heads had a album once , in much of this vein ??
  17. Back in the day ?? , playing forward mainly,I needed every inch to get the distance...lol. It would very much depend on the umpire ( yes...just the one lol ) If they were on the ball to the oppo cribbing the mark...all good. Back then we only got 15m if they over ran. Only in latter years did I enjoy 50 m;) Still if the field ump was a bit of a drongo we would always scrape the mark. More a case of letting everyone...esp the ump know where we could kick from...is no one running over the mark. Could be used to great advantage sometimes
  18. True ...hard....not impossible. Ah well....Wines are happy in cellars ?
  19. He needs to come home me thinks
  20. They're pretty handy at the rebound 50 thingy....we were pretty handy at initiating it for them by kicking it to them. This has to stop. I have noticed eyes lowering a bit in last two games ( hmmmm ) Keep this up and we deny them that 1st possession ...keeps OUR attack live. Amazing what can happen if we don't cough it up
  21. I enjoy good robust debate. You can identify that by either side proffering their view and furnishing it with something to hang a hat on or viewing what's on the discussion table. And then there's comedy... has its place until it declines into farce.
  22. So you don't know what's out there...or might be...but it can't be any good based on various past trades. Well that ties it all up nicely....for you. I however am prepared to see what transpires. I have no qualms about him being traded if that works for the club. As you like to refer to historical stances then consider many a trade/offer wasn't even penciled in on many occasions prior to the start of the Circus Week. Combine that with some clubs track records of either facilitating trades for others ( clubs)if it benefitted them and the all but total unpredictable theatre that is trade week and it's quite possible a trade might eventuate...if it suited all parties. I for one don't think Hogan and Melbourne are set in concrete. Mine's the straw scenario ? How can I show you that which doesn't exist yet ? Who knows the absolute shape of a trade here ? That doesn't by extrapolation mean one can't. Could Hogan go home ? Of course. Would either WA club take him? In a micro second ( if the deal flew ) Is Jesses next contract with Melbourne ? Quite possibly...not absolutely. Are Hogan and MFC a good fit ? Undoubtedly Is there a better fit ? Stay tuned. Will someone put an offer to Jesse/MFC this EOS ? I'd put money on it.
  23. I must confess I haven't tried to log on but the whole thing sounds farcical. This just an Elim !!! What chance have we for a prelim
  24. Your assertion based on what exactly ? Are you privy to the Hogan household ? You a fly on the wall at the club ? Are you prescient to all and any offers yet to materialise ? Quite frankly your stance is an utter nonsense.
  25. What if the trade ISN'T for a forward...but to facilitate a better outcome...even for Jesse ?
