Don't forget Port did us twice in very close ones

I think what Hodge said is a pretty fair comment, you would expect some time to adjust to the new side

the possibility that Petracca was the player we got for Frawley was dismissed by you in feeble-minded fashion you didn't think about it very hard did you now you feel silly

no seriously run that by us again brock mclean, good on him, he turned this club around by embroiling us in a tanking scandal something like that wasn't it

2 is lower than 3 I thought you weren't going to post here again no surprise you had nothing to say when others supported my theory but here you are huh

sorry to a few people at the end of this thread.. just happens to be the same ones who have had their feelings hurt recently cos I made them look silly dazzle tell us again how Brock McLean saved this footy club

Even better - we don't discuss football at all but go around critiquing others for no reason like some anti-social weirdo with no mates

so he was pretty good and pretty awful at the same time

Lord knows we need more quality contributions like the one you have just made

truer words were never spoken apart from some periods under Northey and Daniher we have been losers for 50 years and that is overwhelmingly the main reason why we are down the bottom end of the membership/attendance ladder

This makes me sad. We do have to remember, however, that it is the full squad at training so theoretically the 'worst' half of them won't be out there for the real thing

That's an outrage

thank you - as I said, a perfectly plausible theory, moonshadow

Well if our brains trust share that same robotic thinking they are just plain foolish. You get the same two players regardless. Why would you not make other considerations in managing the situation? Why would you 'demote' Petracca by an extra draft pick just to show the world you rate Brayshaw more. That would be idiotic.

I think there is a slim chance that Lyon's public shaming strategy will work - that CS will pull his finger out, train hard and work his way back. I hope he does actually.

Obviously I don't know it for a fact, but it's as plausible as your paper-thin '2 is lower than 3' argument so it shouldn't be pigheadedly dismissed outright

That's exactly what I want to see Hasn't been the case for any of the 5 x top-5 draft picks we have had since Cale Morton, 2008

also no idea the meaning of the word 'irony'

Well you have no idea. I think the MFC realised that it might have been embarassing for Petracca if they named him at 3 given he had been talked up as 1 for the whole year. We have the same 2 players regardless so why not avoid any issue with by CP by just reading him first as the way it is 'supposed' to be. That's a valid theory and you have nothing with which to dismiss it. PS You could tell on Scully/Trengove night that TS had to go at 1. He was so relieved to be read first cos the weird robot that he is had built up this moment his entire life. Running laps while his mates were on the pizz. For us to say JT's name first would probably have made Scully cry and the club knew it

at least we can thank Frawley's manager for somehow negotiating with the Hawks to line up a contract that pushed us into top-tier compensation status. I'd like to shake that guy's hand.

one of the things you mentioned was a fancy dress costume by two completely irrelevant players. Demonstrates the degree to which you are clutching at straws. I am sure 99% of us had even forgotten about that 'incident' due to how completely unimportant it was.

or then, perhaps, you might

Wonderful news

that doesn't mean they didn't consider AB a better option just because they said his name at 3

There are reasons of course but this is not one of them. Read my comment again - youve named 6 very minor indiscretions largely attributed to 2 former players. Sylvia was never given a sniff of leadership responsibility either. Big deal.
