  1. IMVHO one shouldn’t call anyone who was drafted and having the courage to even go on to an AFL field a spud. He had performed at senior SANFL level in finals. Sure he didn’t turn out like we had hoped, but he got further than (almost) anyone who posts here. And, by the way, Neeld wasn’t the list manager, for all his many faults, so it was not he who drafted him.
  2. Well done Big Max Now bring on the real stuff
  3. Yes, but what did he [Hird] take, given his coaching mantra "whatever we take", to get over it? And any updates on Kent's injury?
  4. IF and only IF Jesse wanted to go to WA, then maybe yes. He was only playing against PRancer that night if I recall. Gave him an absolute bath. Now wouldn't that be an irony, Gaff AND Andrew Brayshaw playing together at the Dees Maybe the original signed edition of "Exciting Footy Tactics" by Ross Lyon?
  5. Did anything else of interest to us happen that year?
  6. What a delicious dilemma though. I am sure they can arrange rotations / forward stints / bench time to keep them out of each other’s way. VDB!!?? The beast? And as far as Kent’s propensity for injury goes, what he suffered this week wasn’t in that category. Pure impact. Could happen to anyone unlucky enough to be there at the time.
  7. And don’t forget the absence of depth in the cesspit from which maggots grow too.
  8. Care and interest factor? About as much as Western Sydney’s community interest in GW$$, or of SEQ community interest in GC$$. As pointed out above, fat old has beens and a few faux celebrities running around pushing their agendas - not my idea of fun.
  9. Well done Ox Love your passion When he is back on his feet can you please have a few quiet works with Jesse about his set shot goal kicking routine GO DEES
  10. ?. I rather compare him to a gazelle Ancient history. Time to move forward, only change what can be changed, and enjoy the finals.
  11. Well said, Clint. I did notice that he sometimes jabs at shirt passes a bit and some don’t reach their target, but from what I saw of today’s game he appeared much more confident and part of the team attack.
  12. ? ? - is that the [censored] word? Thought for a moment that autocorrect had taken over ... humanity not humility, but maybe both? ?can’t afford to play anyone in a final who chooses when and if to chase and tackle.
  13. You forget the Normie .... or has Dasher Frost locked that one in (not that anyone here would ever dream of getting ahead of themselves) ?
  14. Have been a bit out of contact today What is Hannan’s Problem? A definite in if fit
  15. Gill resignation round would sound pretty good And Shocking and Christian can go with him.
  16. Just on l8ne again Wgat are the injuries Tyson and ?
  17. FMD the maggots are do7ng their best for the franchise Those last two frees right in front were just demonstrating their inconsistency: if the first to GW$ was high so was the one on Jetta EDIT this was posted just before half time but only just came through
  18. One mans misfortune is another’s opportunity
  19. Diamond Jim A quick look at google maps indicates that Casey has a southern end which happens to be nearer the sea than the other end which is often referred to as the northern end, or far less commonly the anti- southern end Hope that makes it all clearer.
  20. The impressive thing about all the kicks mentioned is that they were all very cool headed decisions and in pressure situations. Hopefully they will all learn, take heed, and carry forth
  21. In his system on match day, Peter. Nice try. Or, or and?
  22. Gifting CFC (and Saints) all those prime time games this year, whilst giving very few to one of the most watchable attacking teams (us) just shows where the priorities of Gillon and his henchmen lie. Then, after setting up all those unwatchable games through their own ineptitude, they want to change the rules to bring back audiences! Do they even watch those terrible games themselves, or just look at the TV ratings? Pity he just doesn’t ride off into the sunset on his polo pony never to be seen again in AFL circles. We have just been rid of the worst and most waffling PM* in history; now let’s do the same for the worst and most waffling CEO in AFL history. *PS ... yes, I do remember Billy McMahon.
  23. Just as well MFC has cancelled their early September end of season skiing trip this year. Far too dangerous.
  24. Clearly the club needs total disqualification, meaning that MFC, should they win on Sunday, would finish fourth ?? But seriously looking forward to McChinny spin on this.
  25. Is quirk the same as corruption? Spargo has (may have said it before) had a stellar debut season but looked stuffed v SS and still underdone v WCE. Much as it may seem unfair in him, personally I would run JKH this week in his stead. The pre finals bye (thanks Mr Gillon Knee Jerk) May just freshen him up. A balanced and succesful winning team doesn’t necessarily preclude changes IF one may have underperformed or another better player is ready to return, though I share your general sentiment
