Fork 'em

He's told them at least 3 times he hasn't signed anything but they ignore him . My Oath its a media sh*tstorm .

And have the proud MacDonald tell us to bash it up our A. Now that would be embarrassing .

In a couple years due to enabling the youth to get games , this thread could be "The seeds of yesterdays Triumph ......" Maybe abit more short term pain than we anticipated but then .... Who knows what woulda happened this year. I'm bettin' Bruce didn't count on getting injured early . Looks like this year with the Dawks is going to be his last . Should he have taken our offer and remained a 1 club player ? Wonder what he's thinking now . Couldn't have said it better myself .

Didn't see them win their last flag , never saw us win ours and didn't see the Saints win theirs . Been around long enough and witnessed enough to know we're all basket cases . The Dog's won't be winning a flag anytime soon with or without Smorgan , neither will the Aints with Lyon. Will we .... With the GC's bag of up an coming youngsters I'm having my doubts . The Aints once new all about attack , they've since had that instinct coached out of them . I'm not the 1 who's dee-luded , same with your 1 game wonder mate up there Rhino Richards .

Finished at the end of 2006 because he had a fallout with Buttress . The only reason we beat them in the Elimination final was cause they lost Gehrig , Harvey and both Clarkes during the game . Yeah Lyon took them to within a point of the flag with a mature list . Also got smashed in game 2 because he refused to learn any lessons from the previous week . Do you think they should get rid of him at the end of the year ? Be lucky to even make the finals and who cares , no-one wants to watch them play his negative game plan anyhoo .

Exactly . Listened to Sheehan before the game . Stated how he was at the press conference where Scully declared he hadn't signed anything . Chose to disregard this info from the horses mouth and feels from "Gut instinct" he gone . Parasitic Peanut should just tell Scully he's a liar to his face .

Mate , they've done nothing for 50 years and Smorgan has saved 'em . Your Idea and mine about thriving are obviously different. Where is it that I say this ? Pfft ... Yeah right . Double Pfft . Lyon is the worst thing that happened to that club . Thomas had them playing exciting footy the was the talk of the football world . If he hadn't have had a personal fallout with Buttress he'd still be there with possibly a flag or 2. Their youth is nothing compared to the core of that club which the club was built around . Once Reiwoldt , Hayes , Dal Santo , Montagna & co are gone they'll have Nothing . Their goose is cooked . Ooop ... Game time , gotta go .

I do . Tho' I do dip me lid to Smorgan as he kept the Dogs alive . This is the AFL , success means Flags .

Make no mistake , if we can roll the Pies this place will go into meltdown asif we did win the flag . Bombers and Pies in consecutive weeks .... Beautiful .

Spot on . Winning form gets the crowds in. QB 2012 & 13 will be huge .

These boy's are Monty's for that level IMO .

Been around a long time .... Yes . Legend of the game .... No .

Power Forwards who can take contested marks are massive in big high pressure games . With the stakes high there are alot of Hail Mary's into the forward line from mids that are under great pressure. Having 1 or 2 inside fiddy who can take strong marks are Gold .

Surely the couldn't be that clever . Full credit if it was a ploy .

Didn't hear it very often during the 70's - 80's . Any-one that did were smartly told to pull their heads in . B) Nowadays , many fear getting stabbed for their trouble .

Young kids don't need to hear toothless losers dropping the F-bomb every few minutes .

I can see why he coaches from the ground . Thats a fair walk back to his seat .

Strauss will make it for sure . Good size and can hit long targets from the backline . Another brick in the wall . B)

For someone like me that has to travel a few hours ... No Way .

Will they still send Swan with Thomas out suspended ?

Doubt it will be this year that he dominates but it won't be too far away .

I'm backing Stauss to nudge out Macdonald in future .

I get the same mail from someone close to the horse mouth aswell . nothing to worry about , move on .

Seems to have great judgement in the air , as U said , got his hands on everything he flew for. Loved his blocking work aswell .
