  1. Gys was likened to a Joel COrey type of player drafted by Barry P. That'd be handy.
  2. Wet Toast haven't won a last quarter all year. I don't think we have lost one. We should beat 'em.
  3. I would bare my bum in Bourke St if JW played in the ruck against NikNat. What next (face palm.)
  4. He has admitted it. Pretty had not to when its there in glorious video footage.. Obviously didn't fit in it the Filth so thought he needed to get himself a record.
  5. Enough of this speculating. My namesake might play on for two or so more years yet....
  6. FFS this is pathetic (I know you were just reporting you heard it...). Martin like all draftees is on a two year contract. They are NOT allowed to talk to him until the end of 2011!!!!!!!!
  7. I reckon the last thing the Dees want is to fuel the Watts v NikNat debate. He played a good game against a poor side. It won't hurt to have another one or two of those...
  8. You guys are missing several things: Firstly Bennell is a small guy and a player sliding in can give/receive enormous damage to themselves or a player they collide with. Its simply not worth it in the long run. A Bennell out for 10 weeks does no good to the team for 1 brave/foolhardy act to appease you. Secondly, the tackling on Friday was very intelligent. They did not give away silly free kicks which you would often do by barging in. What they did on a lot of occasions was waited a fraction of a second before tackling the player legally. Thirdly, my observation is that you have never played the game at any senior level have you? There are smart ways to engage the opposition on a wet and slippery night and there are dumb ways. The smart way is what Bennell did when he scored that fantastic goal.
  9. Chip Frawley's should never have happened. It was a result of the WRONg Sylvia out on the full decision.
  10. Yeah right. Bohdan is responsible for all these shoulder injuries???
  11. You guys are wrong on this!! If a player gets tackled and disposes correctly its play on. Thats what happened with Dunn. The prior opportunity ONLY comes into play if Dunn doesn't dispose of the pill correctly.
  12. Locked and loaded for the Rising Star this week. Is 100x the player NikNat is. Maybe Sculls should grow dreadlocks....
  13. Blease has played 1 game - let me repeat that ONE GAME - in nearly 2 years. He along with Watts were the two youngest players taken in the 2008 draft (we took young guns because GC17 got dibs on all the good 17yo's in 2009). Serious injury - remember Nathan Brown??? - needs plenty of time. You may be frustrated but FFS be realistic about how long it takes to build footballers.
  14. Nick Sautner?? Cheap, good, experienced, available....
  15. Ring em up and tell you to send the right one...
  16. Not the Dons. They have form. Were penalised in 1996 for breaches between 91 and '96. They won a flag in his period remember.....
  17. I thought it was common knowledge that he wouldn't play or wasn't up to DBs game plan. The major point being his defensive work was sub-par.
  18. Prepare to mix with lots of Doggie supporter coming from out West!
  19. Last year we played Adelaide at the G on a freezing (14deg) Subday afternoon at 4:40pm. We got bagged widely in the media cos we only had 14,400ish. The previous day at 2pm Sat afternoon in bright sunshine, Geelong played Richmond at Kardinia Park and only had 15,000. Not a word spoken. The whole crowd thing makes me scream. Perception is reality people and we have to stop the perception we draw small crowds. We may not be able to get 90k (altho we did for the 2000 GF) but we regularly get 60k for QB - a home game against a big drawing team. The draw is stuffed but we cannot let media stereotypes about crowd numbers to flourish.
  20. IMO they won't drop Joel MacD. He played a poor game but they need his solid body and experience against the Doggies. Should do well on Hahn I reckon. And for third man up against Bazza. Gysberts for Bennell is more interesting. We wouldn't lose much and just might gain some cleaner disposal.
  21. I think there is a limit on how many can be inducted each year. Gary will probably get in eventually. The older we get the better he was....
  22. Not sure about that. he was returning from injury and needed the Casey run. But yes they are most likely aware of his strengths and weaknesses.
  23. I don't think so but I suspect the match committee think Rivers is one of our best defenders. Needs to run more otherwise he becomes a liability.
  24. So, what...you can't get to the Hall of Fame because you have had too many parking tickets?? Where do you draw the line?? He's a [censored] but it's about football. Nothing else.
