Better than the old wheelbarrow you used last time I saw you at the G!

Why would WCE do a side trade as part of Gaff deal when their compo for him leaving as a RFA would surely be a pick inside top 10. In a draft with excellent high end talent, this would clearly be better than trading for, say, Tyson, Harmes or ANB. My understanding is that if Eagles do a trade for Gaff they get no AFL compo. A sneaky lop-sided trade on the side would not get past the AFL trade integrity officer (yes, I know AFL/integrity). Can't see this going through myself.

Hardly consider Cooney the model judge of character. Heard some alarming things there.

1. Not a doctor or medico of any type 2. Not seen Viney's foot 3. Never an elite sportsman Hmmmm..... With all due respect WYL, pardon me for taking your comments very lightly.

So you think he may play only one more game as a result?

Great. Never heard of a player retiring from a hot spot of the toe, let alone one as determined as Jack Viney. But what would the medicos know? They should consult us witch doctors, hey?

Well then, obviously he should retire.

Could be anyone's last game if we take the pessimistic line...

I've seen the attendants try and 'contain' you when there's been a big crowd. It ain't pretty, Uncle.

He wasn't on his own there

Where's his hands? That would make him stand taller

Caro hammering Mitchell departure at WCE in The Age. Claims he's going to Haw to be Clarkson's apprentice for next 4 years

Beautifully put, especially after our game vs Geelong

You must be a slow burner Andy? (Don't answer that)

Was doing more a couple of week ago vs Geelong!

Wikipedia is always right Ethan, don't you know. Shouldn't doubt it

Joel Garner is a better footballer

Deliberate OOB. Only sport in the world where the umpires do consider context in the match

The servants will be shaking with fear, regardless of the result

There are some miserable sods on this thread. I wonder if they've had to deal with being under the public microscope while suffering from mental health issues. Lots of people lose the passion for their job, but AFL footy isn't a normal job, it has very particular pressures. I applaud Balic for being open enough to make his circumstances public. That takes more guts than venting anonymously online.

3rd round

I know for a fact this bolded bit is not true Biffen. But I'll take your word on the great root part

Play finals this year, get more Friday and Sat night games on FTA TV in 2019, more members, more kids choose to barrack for the Dees.... Win/Win, triple win
