Post of the thread so far. You might be surprised how many there are. I know a handful that have even done things for the club in various guises. We're that kind of club I spose. Cheese boards at the G musos...

Ah that makes sense then... I tuned in half an hour ago and it's still going. I hope these guys are getting paid Jesse money here. I'd be stuffed by now.

The guy can play. That's about as far as it goes. She's throwing too much ornamental stuff in there... Needs to pick a note and stick to it and we'll see what she's got. Not the right gig for it I guess...

Max just towering over everyone in the background taking selfies. Jesus this is the longest set ever.

I do this [censored] for a living, and I swear that's the first time I've heard that. Awesome... (potentially said about me behind my back of course)

Nothing guilty about Fleetwood Mac.... And yeah. In a gig where you're playing to a room of people who are more or less ignoring you, you do what a jazz musician might do playing in a hotel. You just masturbate vocally... They're not helped by the fact they're really not interested in the fact this is streaming. If they were they wouldn't be playing like that I reckon.

I can't be the only one who's struggling with these two.

Yeah saw that. Game on...

Agree. After Eagles gave up their 3rd fourth down in overtime for stupidity, I was praying for a tie. So yeah, there are situations.

Ah I see. I was thinking maybe it was end of regulation, in which case dumb... But yeah. Bit of the Dougie coaching tree in there...

Ah yes, sorry... Colts? I didn't see? Something about a 4th down?

Finally. Some points.

Crushing loss for Eagles.

Each to their own.

Interesting. I've got a half a dozen posters I stick with. And obviously come here for first news and rumours... but leave it at that.

Every draft's a superdraft with Taylor. That's the one silver lining in this. We might get a few juicy picks as extras... so many players leaving. That's one thing I'm excited about. I felt like our depth and overall list the last few years was outstanding, but after looking at the Pies this year, I feel like we do actually have some pretty average dead wood lying around the place. 6 fresh new names, regardless of where he picks them, would be just the thing to cheer us up. Don't you just ignore chat's not involving you? I know I do.

Fair enough.

Right... so now I don't have "no idea" anymore? I could be right or wrong? As could you? That's where we got to? Like I keep telling you. Quote me when you have something to say. If you don't? Don't quote me...

I feel the same way... but it takes soooo long to find out sometimes. The Lever one we won't see how it went for years. The trade we made to GET Hogan... which looked genius at the time and in the last 4 years... now how does it look? I get what you mean though. You have to look at single trade periods, and the larger plan... That's the one thing that has me excited... The more we get our assets playing to their strengths, the better... it's why I never loved the Lever trade. I want Taylor picking players every draft... The guy is great. That at least we have again. Taylor where he should be.

Who quoted who? You don't like my views, then ignore. Or better yet block. I don't have any problem with you thinking things opposite to me. But then I didn't quote you, did I?

So stop quoting me? I've answered your questions over and over. I'll do it again, for what's this now the fourth time? 2 first round picks isn't enough for Hogan, no matter what they turn into in the future. Literally exactly the answer to everything you've spewed earlier, and repeated again. Jesus it's like banging your head against a brick wall. We could get a coleman medallist and a brownlow medallist with those picks... We could also get two busts. Picks aren't proven players. Jesse is. Or do I have to repeat that over and over as well? You still haven't apologised.

Yeah. That's fair enough to whack me. What I meant was that for many the jury is out on Spargo. A cop out, sure... But I think supporter opinion is often a trend worth monitoring. I like him, and think there's a role... I still worry about his size though, despite his good form. And I think TBH we don't have Harvey on our hands here. He could end up being a bit limited. That's all I'm saying. But yes, at the position we got him, it's solid value. Ah I see. Sorry my bad. I think you have to factor in Lever too though. Two ACLs. For many he's a made man. For me, the jury is still out. I have to see two good years of 22 games before I say "well done" on a trade. I suspect it'll turn out fine, but I also think that on the day of the trade, we paid overs for him, when it comes to what he'll produce. It's only MY opinion this, but I don't think he's going to be Rance. I know most will disagree... but I'm not entirely sold on him just yet. I want food on my plate. AAs, top 5 finishes in B and F. Scalps of superstar forwards... Tangible things like that.

Yeah. I would argue again though, it comes down to crystal balling. Many good footy-heads I know say petty is nothing, and Spargo is a good little goer but not premiership quality. So much more has to happen before any of these guys start to show payoff... As I type this it's quarter time in a GF and Stephenson has kicked 2. That's literally the level of player you'd need in his first 20 games to start saying it was a success.

That, at least, should be entertaining at first.

What the crap are you talking about? Do you know what forum you're on? The trade forum on a demons website, right? Have you seen the 100 pages of trade scuttlebbutt that have come before you got on here and started talking crap? Do you even know what the subject here is? And what... your'e gonna say the sheer amount of media furore we've seen over the last week is nothing, are you? Christ, the noise is even louder than when Scully left. I'll say it a THIRD time, since you seem to have a tough time understanding. 2 first rounders for Jesse ISN'T ENOUGH. You may agree, you may not. I don't care. I suspect no-one does. If you wanna stick your fingers in your ears and deny that we're not getting the same value as what he represents for us in the future playing 200 more games... or deny that 2 first rounders REGARDLESS of what we flip them for is unders.... then that's fine. At demonland, and other websites... what we do, you see, is we discuss and debate these things. Usually, experienced posters don't cop abuse from clowns who disagree with differing points of view. Usually when we discuss these things, we offer constructive criticism and examples of trends observed in the past. We don't make ourselves feel better by quoting people we disagree with with absolutely no background behind us. Just to make it clear yet again... I've been commenting for WEEKS now that 2 first rounders isn't enough. It's been on demonland and in the rumour mill that long. When you've followed the thread that long and engaged for that long, feel free to quote me again... With an apology. Otherwise, bother someone else.
