I don't watch enough gws games to have an informed opinion about Tomlinson. I'll back in our recruiting team to make the right call. But some of the comparisons and ratings on this thread are laughable. He has played almost every game for the giants for the last four years. In that time they have played finals every year, made 3 prelims and now a GF. And he has played all of them. Wh aa t does that say about his ability? Or maybe people think he us a coaches favorite or has photos

But it could be PED on game day. If you were a plAyer who suffered from debilitating nerves and were playing say a night game, a small joint in tbe morning might help calm those nerves (or maybe help sleep).

Chill hashly

Yes, sorry about that. My tendency toward facetiousness got the better of me. Again. There were any number of posts in the last few months trying to paint a picture of a dysfunctional club in total crisis. Any scrap of information was used to help paint this picture, for example trac (and even his parents) allegedly being very, very unhappy, giving the club an ultimatum and being a very good chance of asking for a trade. There were other such examples as AshleyH30 touches on in a post above. You didn't miss much. Welcome back. Oh and the club does not appear to be in crisis. Much to the chagrin of some.

This quote caught my attention: “This year will be the first year I haven’t had surgery in a while, and I’ll be having a full pre-season so I’m very excited for that,” he said. There are a number of players in the same boat at the club. This is also an interesting quote: “It’s good to get a little break first, have a few weeks off to mentally refresh and get away from the club, but then from there just go bang with all eyes on next year.” The break between the end of the home and away season and preseason training will help more than a few players i reckon.

I have it on very good authority he gave the club an ultimatum. Very, very unhappy. I can't reveal my source but i can say with 100% certainty it is a fact.

Yep, not a bad argument. But i reckon over 50 metres Omac has Jetts covered.

That is total rubbish.or at least part of it is. Omac is our most reliable kick in our backline

Go giants!

Maybe he also suffers from Trollopothy

Totally agree. I actually think Corey could end up cementing a best 22 spot as a small foreforward. Showed a bit this year. Competitive little bugger and is my surrounded by better players than this year could go up a level.

They should turn Maxy into a defender. And Preuss. And Bradtke.

Strange timelines in that article. Really unclear when each player actually signed. I shouldn't be surprised as it seem like our comms department is run by an x cold war spy intent on subterfuge, dissembling and misinformation. They also buried the lead - ANB has signed on for another two years!

I don't know. They got rid our best kick and left the cupboard bare.

That's all well and good. But his name is Kamdyn.

Agree. Can never have enough tall defenders.

Agree. Of course we won't get Betts, Elliott or Papley because we are just a shocking, woeful hopeless club that does nothing but rain misery down on its pitiful yes man supporters when it's not bending over at trade time! Wait what's happening to me? I'm infected!!!!

Not sure what you are saying. Tenses are all muddled. Can you please clarify.

I wondered if 'X factor'was some banned poster. Even checked the profile. I mean what poster starts their DL career with a new thread that includes this line in the OP: 'It is obvious that this club is not serious about winning and has no clue how to assemble a list.' I also wonder what sort of person goes to the effort of creating multiple user names with the sole aim of creating angst and silly discussions. If there isn't some medical condition that explains such a desire it i have no doubt there soon will be - Trollopothy perhaps?

Surely they can't play both Hawkins and Jenkins in the same team

An excellent point. There are two wings and Maxy can only be on one of them. Hogan played this role super well and it is one reason we have missed him so much. Someone mentioned Pederson was in some ways similar player ie a utility who can back, forward and pinch hit in the ruck and that we missed him playing this role. A really good point that i hadn't considered.

Mary Jane could def be performance enhancing if used to calm nerves a few hours before game time (can't imagine actually being stoned in a game would help)

We need more mids and wingers with pace. Not defenders. Snap. Just read the post above.

Why? Why not is a more pertinent question. But one very likely reason might be as part of a strategy to play to dees supporters eg 'look we are targeting Elliot, but so are other clubs, which is only natural as he is an excellent player' Why might be he do that? Lots of possible reasons, such as: He is lying and we are the only club seriously looking at him. But between us and his manager we are more than happy to feed rumors that he is wanted man. And why might we do that? To make our decision to target him more appealing to our fans and mitigate against potential criticism of say the terms of our offer ($ and length of contract) To support the positive narrative the MFC have be pushing with puff pieces of late - look we are a serious player for a wanted gun! To make it all seem more exciting! He is telling the truth (likely), for good reason, and sees no reason not to share it with dees fans or the general footy public

Absolutely that is feasible. THC attaches to fat cells which is why it is very hard to eliminate it - unlike cocaine, amphetamines or MDMA which leaves the body within 24 -48 hours. This is also reason some people fail drug driving tests for THC even when they are not driving under the influence. I read somewhere that there is some dispute ATM about the efficacy of the test for THC in drug driving buses.
