  1. Aristotle (384 BCE - 322 BCE): "One swallow does not a summer make, nor one fine day; similarly one day or brief time of happiness does not make a person entirely happy. Gysberts?? He obviously lacks the character and desire that Nev Jetta displayed.
  2. I thought you meant that he may be moving to the forward line again. But seriously, whilst I like him he is of course tradable depending on what is offered.
  3. Taggert, Blease, Strauss.......................for starters. Many would like to be an AFL footballer but some don't want to enough.
  4. Well, IF it had the same effect on Evans and the same outcome as it did with Jetta it would be a win / win / win result.
  5. Modern footy is surely hard for all guys, not just "these guys" - any player who isn't up to the physical and mental challenge of top level footy gets found out. Dom had the guts to admit it and move on. Many don't until much later.
  6. Maybe some are honest? (exclude 8, 11, $)
  7. Chip??? At risk of being accused of racism or stereotyping, I am certain that this on top of the Wona and Jurrah walkouts will undoubtedly have an adverse effect on clubs' thoughts on indigenous players. Cannot help but. Are you suggesting that because it was a hard lesson he shouldn't have been given the role? Maybe, IF that was a factor, it is best that we know that before investing any more in him. As mentioned above, we will have to think really hard before treading that path again.
  8. All credit to him for at least doing it now and not leading us along into the season like a few others have At least we can use 40 now
  9. 1. Premiership / MELBOURNE 2. Brownlow medal / NATHAN JONES 3. Coleman medal / JESSE HOGAN 4. Keith bluey / NATHAN JONES 5. Rising star / JESSE HOGAN ...and I am totally unbiased.
  10. just what I was referring to
  11. The 'photos' McKenzie and Evans have are their contracts
  12. If numbers are meant to have some mystical powers, let us never forget the geniuses who "rewarded" the Cockatoo twins with #. 30&31
  13. I just hope that someone has been before him and checked out for sunken snags and logs.
  14. I am completely over all this. Just play guys......nothing magic in numbers, guernsey or draft for that matter.
  15. Well, allow me to rephrase my question in a less ambiguous manner Was he seen by any witnesses from this site doing anything that may indicate that he is free of back problems?
  16. Was it Marley Williams of Collingwood who was found guilty of serious assault - busted jaw - in Albany : the "standard sentence " in WA for that at that time was a jail term, I think I recall reading of around 6 months, but he walked. The courts are not like the AFL MRP and Tribunal, so I just hope our new guy gets a fair hearing and a just penalty.
  17. and Salem? The galahs were at Wesley, IIRC paid for by MFC?
  18. The fastest milkman in the west ??
  19. They don't all go to the worst teams - Matt Spangher says "hi"! Listed player in I think two other premiership clubs, and emergency again for Hawks 2013 flag, then gets the ultimate prize. Well done. Persistence pays.
  20. Mountain. Molehill. Maybe poor taste but not a capital offence.
  21. I guess Geelong, a recently very successful club, may have had just a little bit of a think about all this, and decided that it was worth a gamble. Nobody can know just how it will all turn out, but he clearly hasn't displayed any work ethic at the Demons. Can a leopard change his spots?
  22. so they wouldn't join in a trade - got him for nothing.
  23. Maybe revert to the old VFL days - supplementary list ?
