Salems Lot

The other side of this is if he does not come to us, Coll#$*wod will have to pay him top dollar making their salary cap harder to manage.

makes for a good video grab though

From a pan-list perspective, I thought that with the exception of May, we did not improve our list last year at all and with the players who left - Hogan, Tyson and Kent primarily - we went backwards. I would suggest that Tomlinson is a player with some class that would be welcome on most lists and he will certainly improve ours. With some other smart trades and drafting hopefuly we can regain some of that lost ground

Hope he gets a hair cut, otherwise Jayden will have to share his hairbands

Nicely put Drunkn, I feel like I have been a fly on the wall of an AFL career through your excellent input. All the very best for the future and I hope Dec can re-kindle his love for the game at some point.

Thanks to both of them.

in a year when we have faced up to so much disappointment & negativity, is there a chance we could keep our individual tiffs and tantrums to a minimum. I am sure that it will make DL just a little bit more bearable when all I need is score updates and match day feedback

of course, I survived the Neeld era, I can survive anything

I think he is actually a medical practitioner (correct me if I am wrong Webber)

As I just mentioned to SWYL, we have been told all season that we can't use injuries as an excuse so it is not a valid argument to state that we only beat the opposition because they had injuries. I also seem to recall pantsing GWS in round 23. Apparently they were tanking for some reason....(I genuinely heard this from a supporter at the game)

But....we're not allowed to use injuries as an excuse........

my favourite player Peter Giles came from there. Gilesey!! what a guy.

What pick did we have to give up?

The closest to a counter argument I can make is our decade on the 2000's. Up and down like the proverbial brides nightie.

don't forget Newman

Give them one; we have demonstrated clearly how little effect they have on developing strong culture which is what this inflated-pigskin caper is all about.

Looks like this page is being written by grade sixers. We won with 1 fit rotation. Enjoy it in a year of disappointments. For the record I thought it was great to hear Jayden acknowledge what a year from hell it has been. Call yourselves supporters tsk! tsk!

squad should be cherry ripe for the finals period!

IMHO - trade for elite outside mid and draft for best available

Well done everyone, this has become areally irritating thread....sigh....Demonland sucks sometimes

I asked the question on another thread so if anyone can help I would appreciate it. When Jones caused the reversal of Viney's free kick, why did they also get a 50m penalty too. The same thing happened at Casey yesterday and it does not make sense.

There was real fracas on the forward flank in the last quarter. Coburg were going the knuckle and a couple of our players arced up. At the time we had a shot on goal from CHF. Because Preuss was spotted retaliating to a dog act from a Coburg player the kick was reversed and a 50m penalty applied. Very similar to Jones' effort yesterday. What I don't understand is why the 50m penalty is applied. Surely reversing the kick should be the penalty. If anyone can explain this I would appreciate it.
