And K2 hasn't been called Mt Godwin-Austen for years. In fact it was never, formally.

You get a good idea whether you've won in September 2019.

The word of someone who hasn't posted in year's work-colleague's brother. Sounds reliable.

It must have been in the five pages I skipped.

I go away from this thread for a few hours, and come back to the last page, which is about six pages further on from where I left off. The last page is the same as the last page I read six pages ago. Groundhog Day.

Anyone can make up "a source at the club", a "mate who spoke with the player", a "cousin of his manager" or whatever.

I didn't say I'd want to give away Hogan for nothing.

Too many people see trading like swapcards, with an excessive emphasis on relative value. I'd prefer to see the whole trade period as a holistic exercise. If we have value that we can trade (like a forward or an inside mid) in order to get better improvements to our list where we are lacking (e.g. quality KPB, quality outside, backup ruck) then I don't particularly care what picks are given for an individual. In the end, it will be immaterial if Hogan goes for less than, or something different to, two early first round picks. The main criteria is that the list is improved and we are closer to a premiership.

Are we there yet? Are we there yet? Are we there yet?

I'm sure the team will try extra hard knowing that SWYL is "dissatisfied" and that more missives on the poor history of the club are coming our way on Demonland.

So how are you not going to "accept" it? Make a thousand more boring and critical posts on Demonland? Endlessly bring up our terrible recent history? Appear continually dissatisfied? Try to depress those supporters who have some optimism? And a fat lot of good that will do for the actual team.

Except the Brownlow came from the premiership team just last year.

Who needs analysis when you can have Fawning Bruce?

"if the Dockers are successful ... "

It says a lot for our depth now that we can leave a player like Fritsch out. How's that first round pick for Lever looking? With free agency compensation and priority picks, we might be giving up pick 20.

Clayton can take Angus as his partner and Melksham can take Tom.

It used not to be. But at the moment we are moving the ball more quickly than any other team in the AFL.

Oh no. I think he's gone.

Just you think it's safe to come out, along comes a thread on Gary Rohan.

Agree. We are hopefully past threads on Brendan Goddard, Billy Hartung, Nathan Freeman, Dan Hanneberry and Michael Barlow. But I'm waiting for the reincarnation of the Crameri thread. ?

Calling Sir Why You Little.

I don't suffer from the veil of negativity any more. Neeld and McLardy can ramble on all they like, even attempt to re-write history. I don't particularly care.

I understand the idea of "development" and "potential", even for a KPB. Wait and see. He was only drafted in last year's rookie draft, and could easily have another 12 months before being upgraded. "Some guy on BigFooty" is hardly a reliable source.

You don't reckon the most important thing for the Casey Demons in the finals now is winning, rather than being a half-a-game training opportunity for someone to get back to form and fitness? Not that Viney needs it either.

Eventually. I switched from my computer to a mobile phone, and it worked better. I'm not sure my satellite NBN wasn't stuffing up the system with the latency. M36, five rows from the fence, three bays around from the Geelong cheer squad. Looking forward to their quietness when we win. ?
