I agree with the first paragraph, but disagree with your second. Roos made those comments to set an expectation, to scare players. He's a smart football person and knew that we had to keep playing Frawley to ensure we got maximum comp. You're smarter than this Mo.

You didn't watch the Richmond game in 2015?

Did you watch the video the article is based on? Complexity has nothing to do with it. His comments wete utterly disgraceful, not to mention patronising and demonstrating an alarming lack of knowledge on trauma and abuse.

They're headline chasers on Channel 9. Always have been. They will always take the more drastic stance as it keeps fuelling the fire and ensuring they have a discussion point for next week. If the line is he's staying, there's nothing to talk about.

Fair enough.

Yep, exactly. I was sitting next to my Hawthorn-supporting fiancee and said "that team does not scare me". The arrogance of Dunstall. I've really gone off him this season. He plays this seemingly negative, hard-on-Hawthorn card to appear unbiased, but he is probably more biased than anyone and he let his little facade slip tonight. He appears super harsh on them and then when people legitimately begin to question Hawthorn, he sits back and arrogantly dismisses these thoughts as 'getting ahead of themselves'. To be honest, it's probably how I'd play the media game if I was a commentator too, but what a [censored]. I can't wait to see these pompous flogs fall off the cliff.

Not at all. I'd only be giving up Salem for an A grader, not a speculative pick 20.

I find it staggering that Fagan is in line for the Brisbane job. I know he's Head of Coaching at a triple premiership winner (and former Assistant Coach), but Head Coach is a very different kettle of fish.

Healy also made the correct point that why would Sydney let him go to one of their direct competitors. We might just be one of the clubs in the box-seat for him if we've offered him cash and he wants to come to Victoria.

Yeah, he certainly drifted out of the game a bit. I dunno. I don't have an opinion on this one. If the FD were interested, they were all there yesterday to see him.

Would I rather a top midfielder or a top forward for Jesse Hogan or a gun backman? The former.

I'd certainly be keeping Dunn ahead of Garland if we were to get rid of one of them.

McGovern doesn't interest me, but at least he's 24.

Great post, George. Gee, St Kilda are a real headache for the AFL aren't they? They're receiving more hand outs than the Brisbane Lions? Staggering. They simply couldn't afford to stay down longer than 3-4 years and they basically have to be challenging for a flag within the next 3-4 years, otherwise they must be close to being folded or moved interstate. While I'd hate to see the Bulldogs fold, I wouldn't mind St Kilda going under. And aren't Carlton poorly managed? Their list is rubbish too. They are building for a mediocre 5th-8th place ceiling with what they've got and keep bringing in. It'll be interesting to see the 2016 results sometime in 2017.

And far less likely for the decision to go our way too.

To be honest, it doesn't matter what they write in the media or what people write on Demonland. You can beat our FD wouldn't settle for pick 12 and Gaff for Hogan.

Morrison doesn't understand sexism.

A mate of mine sent me this picture today drawn by his five year old. It looks suspiciously like he's had a go himself though.

I've seen every match. We're travelling better than I thought we would and was surprised we didn't buy more. I love Klopp though.

One of my mates coaches out at Eastern Rangers and watched Petracca come through the junior ranks. Said he'll be one of the best players in the comp in time, but I reckon Oliver is going to be the better player. Petracca has x factor, but Oliver just keeps getting clearances and tackles. The player I'm most excited about. But how exciting are these guys going to be after 50 games?

Yeah, definitely needs to work on his endurance over summer.

Bit of Sam Mitchell in him. Love me some Clarrie.

Nah, I'm alright thanks, chap.

Haha, thanks, Zach. Beautiful.

Is there a softer player on our list than Newton?
