monoccular

Great to see him getting a good run and showing his worth.

Hird continues as he has throughout this sorry saga ..... woe is me. .... look at me. ..... its all about me ...... egotist, narcissist. And yet Gil, amongst others at AFL HQ seem to think that it is time to forgive and forget.

Correction : you use the word “or” which suggests the two are mutually exclusive traits ?

Put me in the team and I would be consistent - consistently hopelesss. What was the lead up the the remonstrations with Goddard ?. .... was it just that he is the least likeable of all AFL players in my memory (including Boomer Harvey, and that is saying something) or was there something else specific in addition?

IMO all premierships since say 1964 should be declared null and void

Looking at Docklands surface Sunday it would be easy to sweep anything under the grass there.

Yes. I don’t think anything more needs to be, or should be said at this stage, regarding Thompson anyway.

At least the inane TV commentators won’t be able to say whenever he gets the ball “he comes from a basketball background” ?

Short memory? Clarrie was BOG or close on debut and for weeks following

FCS it is no good dwelling on the past and wrist slitting - tes we got it wrong - but continuing this what if stuff could be soul destroying Enjoy what we have with the likes of Clarrie, Petracca, Salem, Hogan, maybe Viney some day, etc

NOT a banned substance Being used under special permit meaning that it will be carefully monitored, and unlike EssUndone records will be kept So, very different from Hird and Danks’ secret human experimentation

IF IF IF IF IF!! IF we picked up Ollie, who know we may have won a few more and missed on Clarrie? Too many IFs. IF we picked Dusty, Buddy etc etc. Water under the bridge.

And Worsfold would be just the person to work the chemistry to perfection. STOP PRESS - could the cricket saga have come t a better time for the EFC drug cheats? They have handed on the mantle of "the darkest moment in Australian sport" to Cricket Oz.

But I am sure that the AFL integrity commission ??? had a good thorough look at it ???? Jimmy could put in a bit of “the good stuff”

Mark my words. At least some of this year’s draftees will be labeled “duds” (or some other offensive derogatory term) by some on this forum if they don’t dominate at least some matches next season.

Based on what? Highlights reel?

Much as I dislike him (probably because he plays for Norf and usually carves us up) but the locks haven’t done Ben Brown too much harm.

Thanks jackaub Question: how many shovel ready (to use Denial Andrews’ jargon) mids or others do you reckon were available when our turn came about? Names?

Are you suggesting that he will be able to get away with tripping opponents his entire career, and also do PEDs and be lauded as a hero?

What would they know? We have WJD here.

Should fire up well against the Saints then.

So, Rocky, you already prefer a totally unproven teenager to OMc and possibly Frost. Dont sit down too heavily: crystal balls ? tend to be fragile.

Maybe they have really shirt memories and only recall our totally pathetic “effort” (using the term really loosely) last time we met.

Sean Charles #2??

I certainly agree with your view that the term “going to be a gun” is grossly overused - I clearly remember more than one poster (though I can’t remember who) throwing the term “gun” re the likes of Blease, Strauss, Maric, Morton, even Tynan and Taggert. Lets hold off such lauding until they actually do something eg Oliver, Viney
