Yep, I too am in it solely for premierships.
However, if having a permanent home base gives us even a 5% boost of achieving them, then it’s a no-brainer for me.
Was at the Swans game last night. Don’t worry about Papley, Heeney is their most dangerous forward (including Buddy), he is so strong and is constantly on the move. Shut him down and it goes a long way to us winning.
Pig has had a great past few weeks, so he gets first crack.
I actually think it will have the opposite effect. If he leaves winning 2 flags, what more could he give to the MFC. He may feel like he has unfinished business with us if we don’t win it.
If I had a choice, I’d rather he leave after winning his second flag, than if he stayed and we didn’t.
Stuff the Brownlow, if he wins it and we don’t take home the cup, he’ll feel like it’s been a wasted year.
Premiership medals are the only ones that count. Just ask Ollie Wines and Dangerfield.
Lachie Whitfield nowadays plays like he’s afraid of his own shadow. He has seriously regressed. Giants will be losing the wrong types of players with Hopper and Taranto said to be leaving, whilst the Coniglios, Whitfields and Kelly’s hang around
Love for them to finish 4th and give the Cats an almighty scare, but then again would love the geriatrics to play finals away from their cesspool down at KP
