Best game since he got necked against WC a couple of seasons ago. Was in everything.

What disgusts me most are the efforts to paint Bomber as some sort of victim as was done with Hird. This guy is successful and wealthy. Yes he may have a personal drug problem but if he crosses that line to hanging around with hardened criminals and trafficking dangerous drugs for profit which are a cancer to society and destroys many lives he deserves to be cast away as a pariah and heaped all the scorn to go with it. I see the damage these vicious drugs cause every day when visiting nearby Victoria Street and know personally of many lives destroyed and lost. We are not talking about relatively harmless weed here.

Lucky but still sad and it appears mostly just self harm at this stage. It could have been a lot worse. If his self radicalization was more extreme he might have lived up to his nickname.

Yep, everyone shuts up and we may only hear anything different if the players when they all turn about 50 start developing some weird cancers, neurological or heart conditions. Pro wrestling rife with substance abuse for a long time has had an unusualy large incidence of premature deaths when wrestlers reach middle age. A truth that dares not speak its name perhaps.

I am of the opinion Geelong were the lucky ones to get away with whatever. Essendon and Geelong, two sides of the same coin with one side laying on a dog turd.

Look out Expert on board You should offer you're wll knowing services to club. Uh

As with many’s things MFC, was too good to be true.

The whiff of stinky cheese here. And rats like cheese.
-
I wonder what Geelong got away with?
-
Reported that the raid was in connection to a recent drug bust in Geelong where three people were arrested.

Yep, fluke, luck and opportunity generally happen with hard work. Luck can give you a generous shortcut though. Should have bought bitcoins when they were about 2 cents each. Was given the opportunity to buy thousands of them by a geek associate who used to fix my computers.

Arguably one could say Lever is the best and most advanced of that lot. The true number I pick. Players like Trac and De Goey need more maturity but are on the right trajectory.
-
2008 was a great draft. We blew picks 1, 17,19 and 35. Only got value with Jetta at 51.
-
Seriously, when was the last time a player with his high stature and profile landed at the club? Must have been Jeff White two decades ago.
-
Given our poor strike rate with first round picks, I think the deal is good assuming Lever lives up to his expected form and influence. “A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush”. That proverb have never been more apt for our situation.

Caro agrees with you http://www.theage.com.au/afl/afl-news/adelaides-dummy-spit-over-jake-lever-is-not-a-good-look-nor-is-his-departure-20171009-gyxg1u.html

Adelaide are not too happy. http://www.theage.com.au/afl/afl-news/adelaides-jake-lever-officially-requests-trade-to-victorian-club-20171003-gytemt.html

A good friend of mine got burned financially by the "Big H" on matters unrelated to this. Good media operator and a bit of a personality but one not to get involved in business with. Problem with him was that he believed his own hype and really thought he was the "Big H" in real life also.

And if we win it will take us to 11 wins and our best win result since 2006.
-
A persistent problem for the last decade has been poor kicking skills. Hibberd and Melksham have made a huge difference in improving that.
-
I think its great that all grounds are slightly different. Or else it would be like drop in pitchs in cricket. Will get boring if every ground and game is the same.

As I recall Rance also copped a lot of criticism early in his career.
