  1. Seriously why would anyone want to join a club that crumbles whenever pressure is applied?
  2. Soidee - seriously what do you really believe we could get for them?
  3. And I guess it wasn’t dog. Wasnt Frenchman, was it? (I realize that is a simile not a rhyme) Fantastic idea re the 30-70 Metres . So much guess work. An absolute disgrace that one. And in a game with a margin under 2 goals further argument re the absolute robbery
  4. I beg to differ - jokes are (supposed to be) funny. Agree. Too many here seem to equate Darwin to Alice but they are poles apart They have given Geelong a massive boost, but of course that is a very marginal area electorally I believe.
  5. Hopefully they will all be gelling so well together that there will be a massive selection dilemma. Would be a great problem to have.
  6. As long as we don't expect him to be the great saviour I look forward to having him in the team Al the best Harry
  7. Would that MFC see saw always end up with the kid at the bottom looking up and hoping, only to be let down again? ?
  8. Those useless maggots don’t have the guts to be even evenhanded in Adelaide and in Oerth.
  9. Demonised..... 1 will never ever happen, as it would reflect very poorly on what HQ love to refer to as the integrity of the game, and they could never admit that there was any problem with that even though it is glaringly obvious
  10. May possibly squeeze in and make the numbers, unless our forwards can put on scoreboard pressure when they get the opportunities
  11. Quiz Are the umpires (a) incompetent (b) intimidated / scared (c) corrupt (d) biased Can answer one or more of these I would go for, in order, all of b, a, d, c.

    Surely this is a statement of the bleeding obvious!
  13. That certainly is a weird one: Port claiming China as their turf but the games are not home games. ALF logic? And yes, totally unfair, on both participating teams, not to have it before the bye
  14. Sounds a great idea, but if i remember correctly isn't this quite a sloping site? So one would need to either dig at the northern end or build up at the southern end or both. I just can't envisage the loonie left Greens allowing it though.
  15. He certainly needs to keep out of the media and concentrate on his game.
  16. I guess were it actually relevant to my work, as it is with Petracca, then I would say yes. The brakes need to break.

    Jason Taylor ?

    No Mr Neeld, we didn't. Do you mean like Malthouse at Carlton? :-( Interesting the wide diversity of opinions here, from disgust to ecstasy. Don't know really what to think, though presumably Peter Jackson has endorsed the appointment, which would give me some confidence.
  19. ^^^????? Does anyone have information as to how many times and how many weeks has he missed through hamstring injuries? Are they the same side? (I know he also missed with a shoulder, but have there been other injuries too?) At his best he is a valuable contributor, but I find it hard to think of him as a reliable half forward, and he seems miles away from becoming a midfielder.
  20. Being rested to be fresh to take us apart.
  21. I don’t watch that crap but he needs to start focusing on playing football ..... refuse all media approaches unless and until he puts together a string of top rate games Too many players seem to get ahead of themselves, and / or believe media hype that is inappropriate Presumably he uses twitter and / or Facebook or other antisocial media ..... maybe the players need to be told to dump these until they win a flag, then and only then are allowed to use them for one week and one week only.
  22. Uninterested. Check a dictionary
  23. Given Dean’s injury history and difficulties in staying on the track I don’t know if he would have much trade value.
  24. Tyson does most things OK but in this team, now, poor disposal is not going to cut it. (Similar with Bugg)
