folks...it's just theatre now

There's an old adage. It's not so much the earnings as the spendings. Earnings= score ( ours ) Spendings = score ( theirs ) Much is made of our high scoring...and percentage. Did it win us a flag ? No We were still beaten too many times. If we contained others scorelines by 2-3 goals a game .We win more games. If we do this whilst not scoring ( overall , at worst )2 or goals as much a game our % isn't harmed much if any. But again, we win more games. We sit higher on ladder, we play important home finals. Finals are won by defences. We need to do better. We can cover Hogan. As good as he is/will be/ maybe we have a front game that with refining is dangerous. We absolutely need to lock down our backyard and control it. Control in the back, chaos upfront. Whether some like it or not Hogan isn't pivotal to success. A whole working team is. Smith understood that. I think the club does too. It's actually part of what esprit se corps is all about. In other words a champion team not a team of champions etc Imho we need what May or such brings to our game more than what Jesse brings. That's not a slight on Jesse...it's about a team, not an individual.

Don't quite see it quite that way. It's Bell putting his stamp over proceedings. It's been suggested that the Dockers expressed too much eagerness to open the war chest to get their man. Bell has pulled in the reigns. I believe he still wants Hogan...just trying to hose down the mortgage.

Is Gaff to Nuffnuff akin to Judd to bluesville ? Much Ado about nothing (results )

If referring to the 4th Estate...then, in your own vernacular, I agree, it's pretty f@#$d up.

Bell moved the goal posts We moved them back.

most of what BT describes....is the exact opposite !!

O2 be so cruel

certainly makes it more uphill and harder for the lad

so hes either going to north....or himself ???

him

you know very well what I mean

and in all of this someone is remarkably silent

Hi Max and Max's mum. Congratulations I'll have a grande cappuccino , extra shot, no sugar . Cheers

What happens ? What happens to what ?

even better.

yeah that thought had occurred to me. Somewhere I posted along the lines if he WAS leaving might the temptation be to veer towards a club in the window as opposed one that wasnt...and maybe not quite so much in terms of doleros. Id expect us to at least revisit this and ask the question

I thought we had actually specifically sought permission to do just this...trade that pick. Must admit I dont know the answer..I just presumed we could. I await enlightening

might have more to do with timing and pending free agency ...no ?

he is indeed. but havent noticed him whinge to tell the truth...when he was ( playing ) Bodes well...proof not delivered yet I agree

wont be attending. Look forward to any insight and/or snippets from anyone going who cares to share

You base everything on what you know. Got news..one you dont know everything. Two. Some people know what you don't. So sometimes discussion might actually be based on something you're not privy to. Lots of little birdies fly around.

My only real question. Is he really THAT good that he gets 1.1? That might not gel with what others get. I think Gaff is good...but that good ?? Not sure.
