Fork 'em

Pretty sure Thompsons comment to Hird was something like. .... They're not big enough through the hips.

When Thompson got to Essendon under Hird. He looked at the list and told Hird his players they need more size. We had these guys at Geelong. Enter Dank and "The Weapon".

Forgot about that. Dank was also there with his famous supplements program.

Yep ... I check in hope. Annnd ... Nup 😟

There's an Essendon supporter I work with who's somewhere in his mid to late 20's. He remembers vaguely a flag while at primary school but as far as he's concerned they've been no good for most of his life. This is their young generation of supporters. Love his pessimism. Long may it continue. As for Hawthorn they were bottom dwellers for a fair while before Clarkeson took over. Remember Shane Crawford hanging on till his last game before he got his flag (That's what I'm talking about!). They were 'lucky' enough to hit the drafting jackpot with some strategic tanking landing Hodge, Lewis, Franklin, Roughy, Mitchell and Rioli in consecutive years. Hawthorn (and Geelongs) time at the top was also aided by the introduction of GC and GWS which hobbled the rest of the competition while they got their priority picks. Meanwhile they filled holes in their lists by cherry picking players from struggling clubs looking for success. Can they turn it around that quickly again .... I doubt it.

Don't like to let my anger fester myself. To hell with the backlash 😂

Sydney's far better from a tourist point of view than Melbourne.

Because media grubs now trawl it for their "stories".

The grubs running that swamp can silence who and what they want. And do.

Just saw your late edit. Some of the conversations I've heard from women .... Sheesh. Females have used malicious gossip as their prime weapon for eternity. Often starts early primary school whereas males will physically intimidate or assault their enemies.

Twitter you say ... Another cesspool.

I first heard the audio and discussed by Damian Barrett on "Access all Areas". Quite possibly linked from this thread. Now it's clickbait used by multiple media organisations. Cause the public needs to know.

Well there wouldn't be one person here who hasn't been involved in a questionable conversation and if they say they haven't I'll call them liars.

Yeah really. Lots of things get spoken about in workplaces that probably shouldn't. None of us were privy to Morris conversation or knew her sexual orientation till the media turned it into nationwide gossip. They're as guilty as anyone if not more so. Talk about gutter journalism.

Morris said something about a workmate he probably shouldn't have in a workplace. Should have been handled privately by their employer. Instead the audio got released by someone with a axe to grind and the media in their wisdom thought it appropriate to release it for public consumption. Poor Megan got caught in the crossfire and should talk to her lawyers about who thought it appropriate to release the audio. Saw her on daytime tv today looking like someone who hadn't slept for a few days. Her employers and the media also have alot to answer for here.

Other than telling them we're winning the next 3 I don't say that much. When they start frothing at the mouth I laugh at 'em from the mountain top. I did ask my Carlton supporting acquaintance who was pretty excited if he's booked in for his "Blues 2022 Rd1" tattoo though.

Nothing to see here. Demons just doin' what they do.

So do they let De Goey do De Goey stuff or let Collingwood keep it in house?

And as if Goodwin would give a sheet whether or not Hunter was playing. Bont or Naughton maybe, Hunter ... No.

Depends. Do we allow Jack Elliot for eg to rort the salary cap? Essendon to use performance enhancing substances on their players. Reckon they'd want those things kept in house. Double edged sword.

Started with Mike Sheehan. Then Caroline Wilson.

Danger game. They'll be playing their GF

Nope ... Don't remember that at all 😐

Essendon cheated the salary cap in 2000. https://www.zerohanger.com/ricky-nixon-explains-rorted-salary-cap-9852/

Hawthorn won theirs while the rest of the comp was hobbled by the compromised draft with the introduction of both GWS and GC IMO. Meanwhile they cherry picked clubs filling their needs with player looking for "success". Found themselves in the right place at the right time. Similar story Geelong. There's a reason those 2 were on top so long.
