DEE fence

This is a serious win to get it done so quickly, creates a vibe, not that I ever thought he was going. We would have to be top 4 for destination clubs (Sydney/Geelong/Richmond) if you removed the go home/state factor and just focused on culture/prospects of team success. Adelaide people jump ship pretty regularly, WCE doesn't seem to do particularly well nor Collingwood. Hawthorn has been the benchmark for awhile but their stock price has slipped i reckon.

i don't think i was clear enough about Davey, he has a place in my heart. I just think BF could be special too, not sure of where he will go, excited at the potential. Didn't realize RR went through a regular draft. I still think we as a club have made good use. Westcoast obviously did well out of Priddis.

How did they miss getting drafted... James McDonald Aaron Davey, Robbo, Mark Jamar, (all Australian) Darren Jolly. (Obviously being a premiership ruckman says success.) Bailey Frisch, Tim Smith, (+someone help) Who of these, who have played for Melbourne, was the biggest coup outside of the regular draft/from the rookie list? We have had some players that recruiters would have been gnashing their teeth they missed. Bailey would be early 2nd round the way he is playing at the moment. If Bailey keeps tracking like this he will give Davey a run for his money (IMHO), (he's not there yet, Davey invented the defensive forward) but Bailey, could he match James even?

You were right, leave him alone, will not engage on a rational level, and has not cited one piece of of personal experience, is an evidence free argument. I would love to know where he lived, would give some money to the closest Islamic community towards building/maintaining a mosque there.

I don't agree with much of this bloke, but I agreed with how described the implementation of theocracies as 'an extreme version of Sharia' so he obviously gets that there are different versions of Islam. No one on hear is arguing for the taliban or republican guard as an example of liberty. He also quotes Iran 1971, pity he didn't have the grace to acknowledge that the yanks and brits fostered one of the nastier theocracies by getting rid of a democratic government https://www.theguardian.com/world/2013/aug/19/cia-admits-role-1953-iranian-coup installing a Shah who was an evil SOB, thus generating much resentment which gets us to today, with the Iranian government fostering all sorts of nastiness. So often you can draw a line from western meddling to the extreme versions of Islam in Somalia - (Shabaab), Egypt (Muslim Brotherhood), and Iran (Republican Guards).

Good enough that I don't care where our team plays, Optus, Adelaide, Geelong, Gabba, these used to be abattoirs for us. We still get beaten, but at least it's not because of the wallpaper in the change rooms.

Very good, no real quibble, just having some fun too, trying for one word. a w@^k of dons got censored, sorry, thought it was a good play on words from Dank, will have to settle for a pajero of dons.

agreed, but if we continue this big run of wins, people are going to forget the early games and just look at why we have dominated-he is part of that. I thought he had an oxygen tank today? is there somewhere you can see his GPS stats, he seemed to be covering a fair bit of the park they way he kept pushing up.

Have to agree with the idea of dropping him back as the loose intercept defender while Lever is injured, his marking judgement is sublime. He reminds a little of Rioli, not getting huge possessions, but every one of them damaging. I think he does have the skinny flower bravery thing, looks like he should get smashed off the ball... but doesn't. Left field comment, but he has that balance thing you see in basketballers like a steph curry (obviously not on a par with Steph...yet) when he steps back for a 3pt, just seems to have all the time in the world.

Jetta has to be in the conversation, he is the defensive wizard, I'm prepared to call him Gandalf, the way he wins unwinnable contests, time and again, 'you shall not pass', he just never gives up

It is not only Clarry, I also think Jones suffers for votes being taken for granted, his composure around the ball, I swear my back gets a bit straighter when he picks it up but haven't put him in votes for ages.

You are right game is in the bag - could have been another 6 goals up with all the asy misses, thank god for these two.

On Fox they were calling Ray out for his conduct the way he speaks to players

Aaaaargh Dogs are still running, is not over.

Ripper goal Hogan

Back line goal

Heart in mouth watching Bailey leave his head over the ball, kid is a gun.

Good work hibbo, beat two

Would be nicle to leak this just before the prelim btw us and WCE at the G this year.

To me the QB game will be the match to decide the AA ruckman.

I can see it now, we wipe the floor with the competition, win the GF, and the comments will be how easy the competition was this year.

It is the fascists that keep me up nights, a bunch of disenfranchised kids don't worry me, but i get that you scare easily. Get worried about something serious, there are about 20 more serious issues in Australia before religious extremism, but quake with fear if you must, nothing i can do to change it, would give you a cuddle if it would help.
