Jaded No More

GTFO!!!

Playing on in the goal square is equivalent to using the withdrawal method as a form of contraception. Seems like a good idea in the moment, but often leads to epic life failures.

I'm sure it's boredom and footy withdrawals, but seriously, 17 pages on D. Hale? Never has so much been said about a possible trade since C. Moneybags Judd. And to whoever compared this to the St Kilda trade of last year, please! Ball was an experienced player and a key midfielder, and last year's draft wasn't getting the shite kicked out of it by Gold Coast. We're looking at trading draft places, when our list is already full of first round starts in the making. And maybe we'll trade a fringe player, but we won't be losing key members of our starting 18, and we won't be trading in bad characters who'll end up on rape charges (you'd hope). Our club has done little wrong in the last three years. Don't see why they'd start screwing up now. P.S.- Leigh Brown was very important to Collingwood this year, and he sucks a hell of a lot more than Hale probably could/will.

At 16 pages a topic, I'd expect a controversial trade like Grimes for Hale. We have so little to lose by doing this deal, that I really don't see the need to fret about it. If he is no good, it won't in any way delay our premiership run.

So you think the club went "poor Meesen, we feel sorry for him, let's put him on the payroll for the hell of it". I'm sure he has shown enough credentials to those that matter in order to score the job, and good on him. Some of the poorest players make the best coaches.

*happy dance*

I'll explode, and be so dellusionally happy that I'll probably proceed to get drunk and get "I love Liam Jurrah" tattooed on my chest. It's going to be epic. Now all we've gotta do is keep developing our list, find a back up ruck, come up with a premiership winning game plan, keep our list healthy, make the top 4, make a grand final then win a grand final. Too easy

There will be no argument from me on this point!

Hahaha, let's agree that we both hate Carlton and Collingwood with a passion, as we are genetically modified to do.

There is never much logic in passionate hate, but Carlton make my skin crawl. Their supporters, their hierarchy and management, their players, their captain. They just make my blood boil with rage and disgust. I take pleasure in their misery. Collingw&%$ winning is painful, but I'd take a Collingw&%$ victory over a Carlton victory any day.

Great to hear. They could do worse, especially in terms of leadership off the field. All the best to him!!!

I hate Collingw&%$, but I can respect what they have managed to do with their club (I hope we win a flag with a list as mediocre as theirs!). Plus for as long as I have been alive, they haven't interfered with our push for success. Carlton on the other hand, I have no respect for. They are arrogant with no cause, they try to buy success and think they are entitled, despite being the worst team of the past decade. They have also managed to screw us numerous times over the past few seasons. I F'ING HATE THEM with an absolute passion, and no team would be less worthy of experiencing success.

Carlton, the evil cheating scumbags, winning a flag would be a bigger travesty.

Perfectly summed up!

Only if the club starts implementing "punch the assistant coach" round.

Oh no. Please don't let this be true. Anyone in a Carlton jumper instantly becomes scum! Argh just [censored] the hell off Carlton!!!

Very hard to begrudge Ablett when he has given so much to Geelong and was faced with such an enormous amount of money. Plus, unlike some greedy turncoats, at least he was honest about the money being a big factor in his decision making. None of us would turn down that sort of money.

I bloody love these threads. They are like crack to an addict, bad for you, yet so addictive you can't stop reading it. Thanks Nudge.

mwahahahahaha gold B)

LOVE IT!!! Can't wait to wear it B)

Dunn's mo is the missing piece of that banner.

I think the players who play down there have a fair bit to do with the strength of the backline. Obviously we need to find an adequate replacement, but Wellman's departure won't suddenly turn Frawley, Garland, Rivers, MacDonald and so forth into terrible players.

Exactly. What backline coach wouldn't want to work with Jame "the great" Frawley, Garland, Rivers and so on. I'd even give them Grimes if they were looking for a sweetener, although to be perfectly honest they should pretty much pay us for letting them get near our defensive stars On a separate note, you know you're in trouble when the talent of your coaching staff is greater than the talent on your playing list.

Screw you Essendon. Hope your mates rates 2-for-the-price-of-1 deal blows up in your face like everything else you've done recently. Wellman or no Wellman, it won't stop us from outplaying them for the next few years.

MUST.NOT.GET.INJURED. Otherwise, love.
