One of the best sport related headlines I've seen in a long time: Dangerfield leads old Cats in mincing the Pies at the Gabbatoir.

A reminder of just how good he was...

He had a calf strain in the 2020 pre season and a knee injury late in the season. Other than that he played 11 matches in his first season (2014) and in every subsequent season bar this year, played 22 games. I’d hardly be writing him off as someone who has injury issues.

It just gets better... the pond scum that is the POTUS, took photos and had a roundtable with donors at a Bedminster fundraiser Just hours before announcing his Covid diagnosis; he did this despite the fact that he was already fully aware at that time, that he had Covid. and just for a bit of levity...

Correction... in three out of the past four seasons, with an average of 45 for his career up until the end of 2019. For anyone to dismiss him on the strength of this one season, is madness.

Sounds like he should be running a country; or captain of the side, at the very least. OMac has a reasonably good record of holding highly regarded opponents to limited scoring opportunities. It isn’t always the stats that define a player. I immediately thought that the Hawks would go for him... but wherever he ends up, I wish him well.

My guess is that he got lost on his way to one of those demons supporters’ Facebook pages.

Agree 100%... my son and I still have great memories of sitting behind the goals and watching him storm down the flank to wrap up the QB game a few years back.

Gee, now that looks legit!

Many on here have been saying that TMac's year in 2018 was an aberration and that 2019/2020 are more representative of his worth... well, working by the same principle, Brown's 2020 should probably be considered an aberration, while his previous three seasons saw him netting >60 goals in each, while his average for his career up until 2019 had been 46.5 goals. Going by those sorts of figures, I wouldn't be averse to him coming to the Dees, although I would probably prefer to see us get Jeremy Cameron who has a few more strings to his bow and is much harder at the ball.

I just have a feeling his body will be telling him to call it a day... it's been through a lot and it's starting to show. As the lawyer in the Castle said, "it's just... the vibe, your honour."

Two weeks ago... they just forgot to let us supporters know.

Fair point... but I have Jetta as a retirement (I'm assuming it will be his choice), so wouldn't that break any contract arrangements pertaining to his being paid out?

No need DC (but thanks for caring)... but I do think my sense of humour does tend to go off into left field every now and then ?.

I'm thinking Jetta and Jones, will be retirements and that KK, Bennell, both Wagners, O McDonald, Bradtke and Dunkley will be delisted. Bedford must also be in the firing line, simply because Spargo has been starting to show a bit. It's also possible that Viney may go as a free agent and that T McDonald (and possibly Smith, if he's not delisted) could be traded. Preuss could be another up for trade, giving him the chance to be the #1 ruckman at another club. If Viney does go as a free agent, then there's no way we would consider getting rid of Sparrow who was starting to show something until he did his shoulder. As for Nietscke, I hope that he's given a chance to prove himself... let's not forget we have another player who had two knee reconstructions and he has since been All Australian ruckman. Chandler is another I'd like to see persevered with, as, if I recall correctly, he showed a bit in the couple of games he did play. There's no way Petty goes anywhere... he was looking very very good before being cruelled by injury. Oops! I think I might have just gotten rid of half of our list.

I think you might be the first person to ever accuse me of that DC ?

The thing I find intriguing is that it's almost the same as the relationship between Stoinis and Zampa in the cricket (which draws little to no attention), and the weird fact that they even look similar. I always thought that close contact male oriented sports were originally a homo-erotic concept anyway (look at greco roman wrestling - you don't need to be a genius to see where they got the idea for the "squeal like a pig" scene in Deliverance)... I would love to have gotten Sigmund's thoughts on rugby league.

I bet you never photocopied your arsse at work.

At least they're generally a few rungs up the ladder from the NRL guys.

Sydney... it’s limited re audience size (max 25 in today’s venue), and people must remain in their seats, but it is great to be able to perform, yes. When the shutdown happened in March, we lost a lot of work.

My band was playing this afternoon (I’m the vocalist) and so I had my phone on my music stand with Foxtel Go... I don’t think there’s been a time in the past where I’ve got the lyrics wrong in so many songs.

That's a brilliant idea OD... you really should suggest that to the club.

Well, I'm none of those; I have a standard interstate membership.

If I were you I'd be contacting them ASAP regarding the GF Guarantee portion of your payment. They explicitly stated to me that it would be credited to next year... but it is definitely included in the amount they are saying will be taken for my auto renewal...
