Jaded No More

It's always a nice change when someone is desperate to play for us. Having said that, he needs to do a lot more to prove that he is "desperate". He has taken some steps this year, but he's about to hit his prime, and the excuses have all run dry.

From a selfish point of view, I am thrilled about this.

This has James Frawley written all over it

Pretty much the same as missing a job interview. Who the hell would hire you if you did that? No professional AFL player should be out on the [censored] until 5am. It's risky business, not to mention not conducive to peak conditioning. Ok in the off season, it is probably ok once or twice if you have a good record. But when you're already on thin ice (pun intended), I would think you'd be locking yourself up in a monastery and behaving like a bloody Boy Scout to try and get his second chance Doesn't seem like he's all that into the idea of being a professional footballer.

Yes but now players can choose to go where they want, and clubs give up nothing for it. Hawthorn got a FB for free.

FML Hawthorn win again. Another crap grand final. What a wasted season.

I would be bitterly disappointed if we only got pick 24 for him, in what is a well known shallow draft We should trade him for another up and coming player, or back ourselves to actually develop him properly

Phil Davis looks like a hipster If he was my captain I'd laugh everytime he would get serious with me

I wonder why he declined I thought it was fascinating. Not enough Jonesy, but was really interesting. I have always respected Pavlich enormously, and even though Reiwold annoys me, they are both great captains. Jobe Watson looks like a man who is about to board a plane and never return. I felt very sorry for him, he seems like he is really struggling and you can't blame him.

Actually the 3 biggest stars of the last decade all left their club: Ablett, Judd & Buddy Now add Dangerfield Lots of stars are leaving clubs these days, even successful clubs.

I also love that Jack Viney is not Cale Morton

Fyfe and Cale Morton played on each other as kids. Fyfe clearly poisoned Morton's Milo and stole all the talent for himself. We were this close to recruiting the right player. Apart from his questionable hair, Fyfe is an amazing player and a great guy. Really glad to see him win. Spoke well, humble, sense of humor. Straight swap for M Jones. Get onto it.

If we ever stop being awful, Nathan Jones could win a Brownlow

I'm bored already Hogan and Brayshaw on a man date is the undeniable highlight As for the fashion, Rebecca Judd. Just no.

Long term replacement for B. Vince?

Yep, hard to have class when you lack IQ If he wins a flag so be it. He has hardly earnt it.

Because they can tell him to try his luck in the draft then it's hello Carlton

Idiot.

You realise that makes no sense His family don't want him back in Perth, but he will go there anyway?

I believe in Patrick

Jones isn't there either.... traded for Melksham (I wouldn't read anything into that- they put up the B&F and Rising Star winners)

And nice for him to be named in a team chosen by people who actually know whats what and understand the game. Not a bunch of hack has been selectors.
