  1. Maybe Bugg is a very average player that no one really needs on their list. Could you show exactly where all the media says it has "forgiven" Gaff? I disagree with your bias and consider the Bugg and Gaff hits to be equally poor.
  2. Essendon at 4 shows how easily led these 'journalist' are. I mean, McKernan and Joe Daniher as kpf's when Joe has hardly played a game in yonks???
  3. Being concussed out of the game was the result, od.
  4. Looks like an unprovoked, unexpected front-on hit to me. Bugg took Mills out, it was no backhander. I watched it live from that side of the ground, it was a dog's act. The injury to Mills wasn't as damaging as Gaff's to Brayshaw, but the action was much the same. Neither Bugg nor Gaff deserve "no hard feelings" or sadness. It's called 'consistency'.
  5. So Gaff is a violent thug, but Bugg's demise after his hit on Mills is sad and you have no hard feelings towards him? Not unexpected hypocrisy.
  6. Nice spelling/grammar. It was a great kick. It does not make his foot disposal great overall. Let it go. You look foolish.
  7. Comparing Jayden Hunt to Tiger Woods and Michael Jordan is the stupidest thing I've read on Land ever.
  8. If you wanted someone across our halfback line to pinpoint a sharp kick to a leading forward, I'd rather it be KK, Salem, May, Jetta or Lever rather than Hunt.
  9. Hogan, Hogan, Hogan! You were better of knowing nothing, Schultz.
  10. And that's useful once in a career. Football in the modern era is made up of 1%ers done repeatedly over the entire year, not some fluke long kick. The 1970s rang and asked you to beam yourself back.
  11. Tigers supporting friend gave me this summer read as inspiration for what could happen for the Dees in 2019. A good read actually, particularly the chapters on the early years of VFA and VFL, the money pouring into Victoria's coffers from the gold rush, the tribalism of the suburbs/classes. Melbourne fans like to think that the early years of footy centered around the MFC. The reality is that we weren't a powerhouse club early on, in fact it was Sth Melb and Collingwood that drove the break away to form the VFL. And Tom Wills was the captain of Richmond.
  12. I hope that I'm wrong, but i can't see Hunt as being more than depth in 2019. Has speed and competitive desire, but his vision and disposal have always been poor. Disposal is hard to improve in this stage in a player's career. I love the idea of KK recieving a handball and spearing off a pass into the forward 50. That's also why Salem will be important in 2019. I rate footy smarts and disposal skills above pure foot pace any day. Better players have pace and skill/vision. Hunt has foot pace, I hope he shows us his new and improved smarts and pinpoint kicking in 2019. I won't be holding my breath though.
  13. Like your thinking, would love to nab Kelly, Gresham or Cogniglio, but I reckon our salary cap will be tight the next couple of years as we re-sign some of our young guns. Or... trade a name player, as we did with Hogan, to make room.
  14. I can guarantee one thing Ethan: if you come over for a home game, BBO, Biffen, myself and god knows what other Demonland trash will save a seat for you with us in the Trident section. You might struggle to stay both sober and sane, but sure as [censored] you'll have a ripping time of which you probably won't remember much. BBO is the worry though, fresh meat and all that, but he takes rejection well for a gruff old tart.
  15. Happy holidays to Prodee. Merry Christmas to everyone else. ?
  16. Well, the opposite was true. Hogan was going somewhere: to Fremantle. There are a number of photos doing the rounds on social media. The one posted here is tame. Personally I have nothing against Hogan choosing the life he wants. But i really dislike the [censored] who snap a shot of him and post it online triumphantly.
  17. Is that what the suppression orders in the media are about? The Age and The Hun have been making a big song and dance about it lately. Earl, your chances of entering St Peter's pearly gates are now zero.
  18. Like them all. I'd only add that it would be great to see Lever play most of the season with no further knee problems.
  19. Who are you to tell us what to do? No one forces you to open the thread. Don't like the topic? Tough tittties. Stick to the coaches award outrage WYL. You're better at that, or not...
  20. Derrr... he grew up in Romsey. His parents live there. Yours is the biggest mansion in Romsey. You know it makes sense...
