DEE fence

What is with the stream, have refreshed many times yet to see any footage.

Ed was one of my school teachers, he had more going on than just footy and it wasn't worth it to him at the time, wasn't dropped for performance.

Salem, Premiership Half-Back. A man barely alive. (Ladies &) Gentlemen, we can rebuild him. We have the technology. We have the capability to build the world's best HBF. Salem will be that man. Better than he was before. Better, stronger, faster."

Any I know have all gone Waco-Branch Davidian and are not responding to messages from the outside world.

I'm good with that, beyond reasonable doubt means overuling emotion, tough to do.

Sheedy (Sith Lord) and Scott (petulant North Korean dictator) will clash so spectacularly, love it! Adem has time on his side, and being measured in his approach does him the world of good in a hot house media environment. Clubs want this approach, his time will come.

This is so much worse than the supplements saga, it is properly evil, having a baby, either as a young mum or dad is a profoundly vulnerable time that is also super stressful, to pressure someone one way or another, and not support their decision based upon a commercial interest is so sick. I found out about this from my Hawthorn mate who has good connections to the board. He believes the report and he said Cyril has been waiting for a long time to fully give his side of the story. He is passionately obsessive about the Hawks and about as conservative as you can get. He mentioned that Clarko was known for being brutal (his words) with young players. He didn’t connect Cyril directly but thinks it likely. He is bereft and was making no excuses, however I would note that Hawthorn commissioned the report, fair play to them for doing so, and everyone deserves their day in court. I would not make any assumptions about what other players knew or did not know. I like that the AFL appointed a KC to lead the inquiry, that is a fair way to proceed. I actually think the AFL is moving the ball on Race in the right direction for the country, not perfectly, but ever since Nicky Winmar things have been getting better for the conversations we have. When you look at the totality of what has happened in sport you can see that Racism has been a stain but at least some of the people involved have owned the problem ( maybe kicking and screaming but still). I love Australia, best country by far for so many reasons, and acknowledging that it has a dark history to resolve changes none of my love. I am a white Australian ex cop who has indigenous family members. My father who was my hero, was an utter racist(hard to acknowledge), and yet none of his five sons continued that hate, which gives me huge optimism for Australia. @Neitz the Great I have your back.

Really there could have been another 5 who won and you would say fair enough, but effin Cripps should have been gone for 2 weeks, he left his bloody feet and chose to bump. Cripps is a very bloody good footballer, just not a Brownlow Medalist.

The little bit on Franklin's 1000th was good, pretty extraordinary footage, I love football.

Boyd delivers in a GF, money well spent, if we were offered a gun FF for season '22 @ 1mil with another Premiership, well I would have put into that kitty. McCartin has the worst run of luck and then some, now a gun and likely playing in a GF as a key position player. The draft positions weren't wrong, more probable than not. Watts, well I will always think he could've been managed better.

It was a great doco, highly highly recommend, even my foreign mates got around it.

I think Black Adder is the answer to this thread

As long as May and Lever are 100%, I think our backhalf problems (we gave up higher scores this year than last) were with injured or not right small defenders. I am interested to see Petty forward as he is quite mobile and is a good mark. He has progressed so much in 18 months, really solid growth and I would say most improved player for 22.

Never agreed with you more. BBB cooked, Weid NQR, ANB missed a bit too often, Gawn lost his radar (God I missed those 50m goals he was kicking every week at the start of the season), Trac launching Scuds, Melksham honest but not a Jamie Elliot, only Fritsch and Pickett had decent seasons. Also Salem didn't seem fit and he was a huge part of '21, Bowey was off for a chunk and we had alot more injuries than '21 that affected our running power. No one lost the desire to put pressure on but we weren't getting there in time. I have faith we will be active at the trade table, massive thanks to the team for another season where I am super proud of the club. The only culture I'm worried about is the MFCSS.

It's a cultural respect thing re the passing of M.R. Snr., WCFC had a press release saying that he should be referred to as such.

Mitch Robinson will be dropped, Fagan will grill him so bad.

Shows how on the money Goodwin was to use Brayshaw on Neale

Hardwick losing it in the box is fun too.

I actually find myself cheering for Lions as the underdog, world is strange.

Zorko a model citizen today, excellent inside 50, tiges being matched in middle by Lions.

Umpiring has been good, not too much whistle, only one obvious HTB missed.

McCluggage having a brilliant game, really impressive decision making, Lions aren't rolling over. Tiges playing like millionaires.

Richmond hardest to predict. Love that we are 50/50 at worst for every game we play. Not relying on miracles, and so thankful to the club for all their handwork.

Richmond, the attempt to sabotage Dusty will backfire spectacularly

It's never just one bloke, about a billion times more contagious than Covid, please hook him up to an IV, it's the lack of fluids that flattens you.
