Not as bad as Tambling.

Send a memo to Frawley and Clark. Edit: Also, well done to Jack, once again setting the example for his older teammates.

The fight.

He didn't look too good on the footage.

Would they swap Ryder for him do you think? The Bombers that is

Would they take Watts do you think?

Will that sentiment apply to Frawley as well?

If he can play up to his potential, massively important. It would basically be the addition of another Tyson-level player to our list and we all know now how good an addition he was.

Looks like she had her lips done extra-inflated for the night.

Like one top forward taking up booze, quitting the club and going to jail, another top forward suffering a succession of random injuries, quitting the club then declaring that he wants to play elsewhere, a potential top forward missing the entire season with a random and unforeseeable back injury, our top of the line FB deciding he wants to play at a more successful club, two top 20 draft picks suffering badly broken legs and never pushing on and two top 5 draft picks suffering season-ending injuries and having no impact yet? And that on top of the little things from previous years such as multiple senior players from the leadership group packing their bags and walking out o the club, our No. 1 pick being poached under the poorly written start-up club rules (against the wishes of the AFL, incidentally), a revered club figure dying and being fined $500,000 for not being found guilty of tanking. I think we've had plenty of things impact multiple players which were entirely out of the clubs control. It's just a matter of overcoming the ridiculous bias that Eddie and Co. have managed to stir up and convince them to look at the facts instead of the spin.

Also plays very angry. I think you'll see him suspended a fair few times in his career. I would love to have someone like that on the park for us.

It's not necessarily what the doggies want, but Jones is asking for more money than they want to give him.

Which of the players today would you want us to make a play for given the absurd depth of mids the doggies have? It was suggested to me by a dogs fan that Honeychurch would be the best of the bunch to chase. Thoughts?

I got an interesting snippet today. I was watching the VFL final with a mate from the doggies camp and he tells me they are very seriously into young Frost. Makes me wonder how close we are to getting that deal done. Also mentioned that the Saints were into Liam Jones in a pretty big way. That could be a bit of a disaster for us re. Petracca.

I want Fitz for at least another two years. I still think he can play, it's just going to be a matter of time and a little more bulk which will come with age.

To see Hunt and Harmes make their senior debuts next year and look like they have what it takes. Trengove and Toumpas to come back after a full pre-season and show the world why they were taken so high in the draft. 20 Games from Hogan. To pull another deal like the one for Tyson during trade week (I'd like to get either Shiel or Treloar out of GWS). Petracca or Brayshaw at pick 2, in that order of preference.

The fact is that if the move is something that Mitch has initiated then it shows a spectacular lack of integrity and character on his part. He may be within his rights to do so legally (and I hope there are questions being asked at the club about the revised contract we gave him), but ethically he's in the wrong in every way. He's basically forfeiting his Man Card and behaving like a self-centred child.

I don't know about his personality, but I loved his highlight package from the u18s and Roos has repeatedly said he wants a quality rebounding HB. We could always try to get Rohan out of Sydney, but I somehow doubt he's on the table.

I threw that up in the Blease thread. Geelong have shown a bit of interest and I'd much prefer Smedts to Hunt. We'd have to give more than Blease to get him, but I think worth it.

Prestigious Sandhurst Club? Have you been there?

I'd love to get him. Is he going to be counted as a FA or DFA?

It's all very well, but does anyone else have a sense of Deja Vu? We hear that Adelaide are into a certain coaching candidate and snap him up quickly... Where have I heard that before?

Funny. This is the most discussion Blease has had all year.

I think he's still contracted for next year, so delisting him is problematic. Doable, but a pain. Much better for all concerned if he's traded.

Article Here. Seems there was a bit of friction between the coach and certain players. They don't come out and say it, but it sounds a hell of a lot like the club decided it was more important to keep the boys happy than keep the coach.
