Are the Dogs permitted 15 players on the mark? If not, could the ump give another kick with a 50m penalty?

2 packets? Must be salt 'n vinegar

Which was???

Yes, he's a great pick for the doggies. And a big FU to Eddie that they couldn't have access to him!

Gold!

I too would've consulted PJ. The guy is an open book. I highly doubt he wouldn't put the club's interests first or let ego get in the way. Pert's appointment may be a master stroke, but to me it sounds like the process could've been handled better. That Bartlett read the landscape wrong is evidence of this.

As I said, lol posters playing the man. Wilson named plenty of people. If you read it for what is says without rose coloured, anti-Caro glasses, there are clearly some concerning issues in the appointment process. Comparing an AFL club with a "normal business" is ridiculous. It's similar to posters comparing player payments with what they'd get in the 'real world'. Apples and oranges. Jackson being involved in the selection process, as opposed to "ticking off the incoming" CEO, makes perfect sense, unless of course, you don't respect or trust PJs opinion. I certainly do.

Dunn, after his Roos-defying torp kick in?

Lol! Kev, your reports are the best I have read on Land. Please keep up the good work and ignore the trash talkers

I thought it a good article, assuming what she writes is accurate. There's a lot in there that I wasn't aware of, some of it unfortunate. What concerns me is the separation of PJ from the selection process. He has more knowledge of how to run an AFL club that the whole board put together. Also, the lack of contact with some of the key people during Pert's time at Collingwood seems to defy due diligence by the board. And lol to posters playing the (wo)man rather than the ball.

Nice sentiment, but imo on a 12 deg, wet winter twilight game at the G vs Freo, Port, Brisbane or GCS we would be lucky to draw 20,000. I haven't checked figures from a range of attendances of interstate teams vs lowly supported Vic teams (like us) this year at the G. And would the property above the Jolimont rail line be ours or would we lease the development from the govt? The state and/or federal govt would need to tip in at least half of the money needed to build. Not sure they'd give us ownership as well.

Wouldn't it be grand for him to play another 50-80 games. Hope he does well

Ignore function is a sanity saver when it comes to Deeluded's posts. Except of course, when others quote him

He's not a FA, so Norf will have to trade for him on top of paying $1mill pa. Probably 1 rounder + second rounder. This could come back to bite Norf on the bumm

And I'd say you didn't read my post. What I did post was that his observations are pretty obvious, and the FD will be onto it

"Jackson Reserve"

Bet he was aiming for a hole-in-one

Sorry, what??? Giving every young kid on our list "a go" is a prerequisite before drafting new kids??? Are you aware AFL rules state we must turn over min 3 each year (I think). Surely some of these replacements will be kids from the draft

"186 Oval"?

Needs to keep out of the bunkers. Nothing worse than sand in your wedge

What number wood is he holding?

He didn't say everything's fine. Let's not think the sky is falling because Jesse's had a couple of quiet games after his first 9 or 10 were at AA level. He and the FD will be working on it. And the last thing we want to get is an egotistical player from a different era to mentor him. I saw The Kid drink himself stupid (amongst other vices) so many times at nightclubs during the 80s and 90s, it's no wonder his current analysis isn't capable of much more than the obvious.

Hogan is out of form and his confidence is low. Thanks for letting us know Dermot 'Captain Obvious' Brereton. After a cracking first 9 or so rounds, the guy has had a few low weeks. I'm sure it's not lost on the FD, they'll be working on it. Lol to the posters on other threads suggesting we should drop or even trade him!

Email the club. Find someone in membership services, maybe Katrina Robb. Tell them how far your mum is travelling and she may not get to another game. If you are a member, they may very well look after you all. Good luck!
