  1. Every-one's a genius recruiter with 10yrs of hindsight. 5-6yrs ago Martin shopped himself around for big coin and got no takers. Still a loose cannon. I think it was the rocket he needed to prove every-one wrong. Would the same thing have happened if we picked him up ..... Who knows.
  2. Scully was a ball magnet in the TAC with questions on his disposal. Martin has turn out to be a gun, Fyfe and Gawn as well who both went much later. The rest of that years selections against Scully are debateable.
  3. I find that hard to believe TBH. I've got cancer and am dieing .... Now I need to know what you're going to do.
  4. I think Sheedy is more to blame than Scully. After being snubbed for our vacant coaching position he went after vengance willing to pay any price for it (With GWS salary cap). Scully made a smart business decision taking their extraordinary offer. Gift horses like that don't come along every-day. His only crime was not being straight up with Stynes. But he was a kid in a high pressure/scrutiny environment. Mistakes get made.
  5. I also remember him saying our young list was comparable to Hawthorns at the similar stage when he come over.
  6. Same reason media outlets go with any headline these days. Will it make good clickbait. I'll bet they couldn't wait to run with it.
  7. No doubt he's got underlying issues with how he spends his spare time but I'd suggest mental health concerns relating to his personal safety are the priority after he has been so publicly exposed. I'm not defendng his behaviour but it's the sort of thing that could tip some over the edge.
  8. Doesn't surprise me in the slightest TBH. Young bloke front page of the paper and all over social media outted for being a serial self flagellator. Long tough road infront of him as he'd be gettng sledged from all directions for years to come. Public humiliation such as this would be tough to deal with. I'd be concerned for his mental wellbeing also.
  9. Kids these days.
  10. From what I can gather the big bloke with the beard in the middle tries to tap the ball to one of the smaller blokes gathered around. If the little blokes can get it they usually close their eyes and boot it as far as they can in the hope some other bloke in the same colour jumper can get it and kick it between the two biggest sticks. Hard to watch , rarely works.
  11. 100% All he needs is a good confidence hit. He's got the tools.
  12. Reminds me of James Hird. There .... I said it.
  13. Deegirl goes Wack ?
  14. Brian Taylor
  15. Hated his penchant for throwing stones at opposition clubs from his glass house. In the end he's just become a parody, much like Jack Elliot.
  16. Boys are flying and starting the best pre-season ever.
  17. He just owned the World of Sport handball competition too.
  18. A couple of years he polled highly and then went down with injury for half a dozen games.
  19. I don't want Jackson getting banged up in the ruck. Play ya big Ferraris foward.
  20. All the best Mitch and thanks for my favourite football watching memory of all time. And I prefer this clip cause ... Brian Taylors not calling.
  21. Fair point. I live on the Vic/NSW border and cross the river regularly into NSW to either shop or drop the kids off at school. It's like the land of the free over there 2kms from my house. And you're rght, they don't have to wear masks and be forked if they want to travel anywhere they have to.
  22. Just on the big clubs getting bigger. Methcoke declared they lost 44million in revenue this season. That's how far we are behind the big clubs.
