Jaded No More

On what link?? I got Chinese weather forecast

Well this is [censored].

BEST.LOSS.EVER. If given the choice, would you rather a meaningless win over Richmond or TOM SCULLY? KOTD!!!

Better to take a chance on someone new, than [censored] the same couple of dead horses we have had on our list for years.

Just as long as he doesn't make it to 192cm.

This thread is [censored]. You might as well ask me to choose a favourite pair of shoes. Disgraceful. (also, Watts )

The best thing I can suggest is to buy a reserved seat. You'll get to sit next to the same people week in week out and over time you develop a footy relationship with them. I for one would feel a bit sad if I didn't get to experience the joy of a premiership with the guys I sit next to nearly every week, who share my ridiculous passion and whom I've shared many a high-fives/ face-palm moments with over the year.

Epic win. Welcome Todd and Jack!

He is the perfect example of a player who is not quick by foot but is quick of mind. Makes excellent decisions, especially in close and has more than adequate disposal out wide. KOTD yet again. Love Jordie!

As do I. I'm a big fan. Just need to teach him to kick with a bit more conviction. I mean if Jamar could do it, why can't Martin? He's a good mark, he's athletic, and he can ruck moderately well. Has time on his side of a big man and is versatile enough to be thrown down back in case of emergency.

If he does become available, I'd be bitterly disappointed if we don't make a serious move to try and acquire him. Fits our needs like a glove!

Good move and good luck to him.

I LOLed!

Not that I'd condone this in any way, but it would be a little hilarious to watch this board go into epic meltdown if we traded Davey. (We are NOT trading Davey. I repeat, NOT trading him).

I think we tried doing a trade with the Chinese but they wouldn't budge on their offer. One extra spring roll would have probably clenched the deal.

If GC wins a flag before we do, it's because we have managed to screw things up, not because they've trumped us. That is all.

And let the North Darwin Baboons poach him in 2018? I don't think so. Minimum 2024 contract extension or I suggest heads should roll!

Who voted yes to releasing Jamar from his primary ruck duties?! Show your face and explain

I think my sarcasm meter is broken.

I just projectile vomited. Dawes... FML!

The missing players were all injured late last season, so it makes sense that they're not playing. Was looking forward to seeing Tapscott and Blease, but I was honestly just clutching at straws as neither were going to make their AFL debut in China!

Speaking of rookie promotions, do we know if Jordie McKenzie has signed a new deal?

Why not? He's as raw as most ruckman his age. If we had the same attitude with Jamar, who was far less athletic than Spencer at that age, we'd now be looking at a list devoid of any rucks. He is a low investment player and I'm glad we're giving him the right amount of time to develop. I can definitely see the potential the club sees in him.

Defender hey?

This will come down to who offers more. You've gotta remember that Hale is contracted, so North are under no pressure to do a deal. Hale probably said that he'd be happy to go to either club, and it's just a matter of North doing a deal. If we can't better Hawthorn's offer, we won't get him. The question is, do we want to better their offer.
