How long have you been around. Being bullied is a comment about not taking on the big challenges. Giving up in the thought processes when imagining challenging the big boys. It is a mental state where Melbourne Boards and Administrators continually allow themselves to sit back down, and shut the F()@# up. It has hurt us over the decades, more than we even obviously know. As far as your comment that we are not Bullied,,, we gave up on the challenge last year Re Lever, and paid the Crows over the odds, to get it done, in haste. A 1st Rnd 2017 pick, a 1st Rnd 2018 pick, and a 2018 4th Rnd pick. We paid too highly. A 2018 1st & 3rd Rnd picks, should have done the job. We have been bullied for decades, by other clubs, and by the AFL. So your assertions of future this and that's, should be taken with a truckload of salt. We need years of Wins off the field,,, to believe in our boards and admins once again. Because our bullied bruises show a different picture of this club over the years. The fact we are still basically homeless, shows we lack courage and endeavor to get things done to our needs,,, when the Pies have virtually shifted into our lounge room,,, from up the road.

because we need his skills and his maturity leadership because of the age. His skill sets are both inside and outside, so he gives us just what we lack. He can play starting mid or on the wing with great skill and smarts. He compliments our inside grunt. In around 2 tears time we will have lost a big chunk of maturity and real leadership. Both Lewis and Vince will have gone, and Chunk Jones if not gone, will be on last legs. After that group, we lack some Real leadership until we get to our current 24Yr olds age bracket. So IMO we can afford Sloane, as he would be most likely, only a 4 Yr term, on good money. We can structure it to suit our time-frame. Now Gaff we would likely have for a longer term, and this would compete financially with our other young guns arising, in time-frame for contract money. I want both, and i'm sure a bit of contract wizardry could make that happen. IMO, we lack more than one topshelf running mid. Now if we had Gaff, we may not need ANB? If we had Sloane, we wouldn't need Tyson. The re are other mid type players on the list, who aren't doing much, playing down at Casey.

... classy, that's Fritz, surely. can't think of many others, I'd call classy. ah, Oli.

They'll find a way, they, are horethorn. We cannot get bullied by big clubs, any longer... It's time to stand up and FIGHT,,, teeth and claws ! NOW is the time:... we need all our supporters to dig-in and help, to get us to the upper echelons of AFL. No good diggin in when we are down all the time.... its the time NOW, to really get stuck in.

The Hawks will be in that mix. Not to mention E'dies hat will be in any ring.

? lets make a wee bit more room, for 2 of em. Payout Lew this year, and hire him as a playing assistant at Casey. One of these boys should stay on at Casey. Sadly Pedo may get caught in this Cap scenario, as well. (Kent)? Offer Gaff a 5Yr contract, ramping up after 2020. I imagine we'd need supporters to help with out of footy career areas, to help their families ? We need Sloane as well. (Tyson)? Offer Sloane 4Yrs, heavy Front ended.

approaching 26Yrs of age this year. https://www.footywire.com/afl/footy/pp-west-coast-eagles--andrew-gaff We need his running power.

I would think that his parents are aging as we all are, and other family moving ahead with their lives. I sense for some reason that Gaff wants to come back east. I think that if we acquired both Gaff and Sloane, these missing links would enable us to fast-track into real contention. Both will aid our transition from the centre bounces, and from our backhalf. I hope the club goes overboard now,,, to get both of these two mature players this year. Sloane could give us 4 good years of leadership and elite midfield play. Tiding us over from Lew and Vince and then Jones... adding to our leaders in the 26-8Yr age bracket. Gaff fits well within our 2nd layer of leaders, in that 24-5 Yr age bracket.

I wonder, he'll be elsewhere, for the start of 2019 ? We have to trade our way back into 2018, and we also want some free agents. They're not giving them away, these days.

Yeah phew, are those old prince park toilets overflowing yet again?

I differ h, I hope he has a blinder, from the half back flank.

I reckon Gus is a more intelligent footy player, than Tracca is. Tracca is a bull, and probably hasn't needed to fine tune things as much, in his lifetime.

round em all up, and put in a cage, last man standing. none will be left. they'll all devour one another, intellect first.

most times oI'm on the internet chazz. When I stay in Melbourne, I stay at a friends place & he watches foxtel, so I have to see these programs. I am absolutely baffled that anyone watches Whately and Robinson yodel on. When he goes to bed I turn them off, and watch anything else, even CH-2 news. Recordings of games, or motorsport. anything other than those two. Very disappointed with 'the couch', as well. wankfest.

FAR TOO many Ego's;,,,, off the field.

you wasted your time watching that? chazz?

well the whateleys are half ok.

I tune into JJJ .

The latter, proudly. Old fashioned 70's lifestyles, and TV. heading down to the coast on Satdy morning, or Fridy night. Hangen out with the mates and havin good times. Parties, and workin bees at freinds places, and no workin weekends.

I reckon when Vanders gets thru this, he'll be a keeper. He's a stubborn tough man. Ankle this time, so He may well be over that stress fracture.

a boring pair of misfits.

Mike Williamson' footy supporter type commentary. non player type commentators. Less analysis, and more spontaneous enjoyment .

yeah, shorthairs, semi long hairs, tabby's, even brazillian,,,,, ttps://www.free-ebooks.net/audiobook-covers/large/265.jpg ?

you are right. The Ex players are spoiling the game Re commentary. It's been going backwards since the AFL and players association made sure of players succession planning, and media careers. and all we can do is robbo and whately..... jeeeez.

This is IT exactly. A media poonce, in gloves & boots; is gerard, these days.
