Adam The God

He plays like Charlie Curnow to me. Has the leap, strong hands, is a few centimetres taller than Curnow. If he turns out half as exciting, he'll be another JT special. Just needs to add 15-20kgs.

None of them are good enough though. There's a reason we took Kozzy in the first round.

I saw Cal say somewhere earlier that one of the players plays like Weightman / Papley. Does anyone know who he was talking about, please? Another small x factor forward to complement Kozzy would be very high on my list.

How would that play out? No way we're able to flip two late future firsts for a top 10 pick. I like this idea of a top 5 pick and a start of second round early 20s pick for our three firsts.

I love the aggressive trading and I love that we seem to have put out there a net of at least 5 or 6 players "Melbourne are really interested in" to keep everyone guessing.

Actually teared up when we won. What a brilliant effort. And great that Daisy probably fair wells with a flag, ala Crawford. The way the board have run elections the last two years has soured my view of them considerably. However, we've now ticked off flags for both men and women's teams on that red and blue print released 2 years ago. 70,000 members is the next goal and we need the base sorted by 2024. They'll ultimately be judged by whether they deliver the whole package. Let's see how they go. Go redlegs! ❤💙

If true, I love how aggressive we are.

Agreed, although I do like Liam Neeson.

Speaking of head scratchers, they really didn't need to remake The Naked Gun franchise, and with Liam Neeson. I'm guessing you're like me and very suspect of the move?

There's something weirdly toxic about thet photo, but maybe it's just that Moloney always seemed like a muppet to me and it's clouding my judgement.

Let me rephrase that. Some attributes are valued more highly than others.

You're either good enough or you're not.

Yep, kitchen sink dramas. One of my favourite films, Short Cuts, is based on a collection of Carver's short stories. The Australian film Jindabyne by Ray Lawrence, also a good film, is based on one of the same short stories used in Short Cuts. I love Carver. What's he got to do with Brett Ratten Sacked by the Saints? 😁

Life membership is one thing. This is a thread about rings mate. Given how you used to bang on about Schwab, surely you see the parallels?

Completely agree with your OP @old55. If true, this is a ridiculous, potentially culture-undermining move that evokes the bad old days of Cameron Schwab and those nuffy blazers, except it has the additional factor of splitting the playing group. I wonder what Goody and co in the FD think of this. You've got one part of the footy club trying to create a team first, all of us approach and culture, and then you've allegedly got a nuffy board handing out rings. Maybe the board should be kicked in the ring?

A productivity deficit maybe mate? Not sure Sophie Lee would see government spending outstrip taxation. Strange metaphor, but I like it!

Is that a Dutch chef?

And if Phillipou was around for us, would we take him, you think?

Jeepers creepers. What a name.

Mine is some of my initials. I thought, jeepers, ya dope, you probably shouldn't have most of your name in a public forum, hence changing it to not all my initials haha. Very boring story. And good memory @Salems Lot.

Isn't that what the WA teams do to their highly rated local products?

Good one. 👌

We reckon need to target an x factor small with one of our two picks this year in the ND and ideally a Hibberd replacement - unless we think Rivers or Woey are going to be that lockdown defender. Use the rookie list for a back up ruck and a developing ruck.

It's very likely six years ago Grundy wouldn't have chosen us. We are a destination club, even if both of our top acquisitions were salary dumps for their original clubs.

Everyone does. What was that about not being a decent leader? Sounds like a pretty good one to me. Not afraid to have the tough conversations. No wonder Taylor Adams came out so forcefully against the accusation. And like others, I reckon he comes across as a top bloke in that interview. Usually someone who says they're pretty down to earth isn't, but he bucks the trend.
