.... and still he came second! Imagine had he run in a straight line ? That crook isn’t headless ?

The club should have had the decency to acknowledge that but for the astute observers here at Demonland, nobody at the club would have realised that we even needed such help ?

Yes of course we have missed him (Hogan), but had Tom had an uninterrupted and healthy season he would have been missed far less. And of course he wasn’t there at the business end of 2018 either.

I agree generally with your comments and especially regards to putting. However there are exceptions - Ben Brown and the Dive Bomber are two who spring to mind.

6 months + mandatory jail time in Victoria means very little. Rarely if ever imposed.

Liam was from a quite unique background and it was only when he was unfortunately injured and returned to his dysfunctional community that he “went astray”. One can only speculate what he could have achieved without that happening - interestingly Sean Charles suffered a very similar problem when he had a wrist injury, though not as serious of course as criminal proceedings and jail. (And of course $cully and Trengove are far more upstanding fine gentlemanly chaps than Mr ?. )

So do you think we should trade every player who has any faults or limitations? I think we all agree that CP5 needs to work on endurance and set shot goal kicking - so rather than trade him, how about we encourage and help him address these limitations?

The players have the law lid out to them very clearly at induction. Perhaps certain clubs confuse their players about what they take and when? But these are professional athletes and do know better - some just try to get away with things. Very clear indeed - he substituted a specimen .... QED! Maybe they do - according to their rules but not necessarily WADA ASADA.

I suspect that most here would prefer deeds to words from our club.

GW$ did a pretty good imitation today, IMO And how many seasons has Hardwick had before proving himself to be a genius? In 2016 the microwaves were warmed up at Punt Road and there were calls for his blood. Dirts - never fear. Shocking and Gillon will no doubt come up with some more grippingly great rule changes off season to make the brand more appealing.

Don’t know much about him - what is his position and is he a prospect?

I was wondering if he ran straight or did some evasive manoeuvres?

And so could possibly 16 other teams too. An inexact art / science is recruiting

Melbourne could possibly have played better than GW$$ ..... yes, even Melbourne

Chicken Wing Chri$$$ Judd says hi!

Haven’t Petty’s better games been as a CHF? Pump him full of growth hormone out of testing season ( or is that tested 365?)?? Agree with those who say he needs a massive 2020 if he is to stay. Yes some of his scoring links were good in 2018 but definitely needs pace, bulk and to learn to make a tackle stick and get some penetration into his kicking. Won’t get any taller.

So 1 get a second round pick for him & 2 use that pick for a young developing ruck & 3 pick up a back up from the rookie list As simple as 1 2 3! Probability of all of those lining up? Close to zero.

So, is that a cakewalk??

Spargo #2?? Not at this stage but given hard work, time and some decent forward mentoring, who knows. Early to make a final call, IMVHO.

Houli must be so happy to have left the Bombers before the needles came out. A very committed and still improving player.

In fairness Tigers had a pretty poor (mind you not by our standards) few years after he was drafted IIRC.

Hawkins must be feeling proud!

Ablett given a hell of a long time , then threw it out. Play on! Protected species.

Creepy is the word that springs to my mind.

And some want us to go for Joe Daniher ? This is part of the reason I am agnostic or sometimes atheistic.
