Very Jaded

I feel very sorry for some of these kids. They’re playing so well, clearly too good for this level, but good luck getting a game. Chandler, Bradford, Weideman, Sparrow, not to mention Harmes and Jetta are all AFL quality players. If they played for North they’d be playing senior footy every week. I suppose that’s the downside of being a bloody good side. Majak playing well. Good luck getting a game ahead of Gawn, Jackson, McDonald, Brown and Weideman tho son ?

Yep no Melksham no Jones. No idea what the hell channel 7 was all about

Haven’t heard May say a bad word about Gold Coast since he left. Same can’t be said for Howe. Howe has carried himself like a [censored] since he left us.

If only I had the time and money

I had a cheeky look at flights to Darwin. Absolute lol at the prices of flights in Australia. I could fly overseas for less... except I can’t fly overseas ?

Hunt and #Positivelingers have the best hair in the competition. I will hear no bad things about it.

I think he is a very good player, but he would struggle to get a game in our team, so why spend money on aging surplus? He basically plays the exact same role as Lever, except Lever is 6 years his junior and a far superior on field leader. There are far better options out there if we are looking to add players to our list at the end of the season.

He might be just as motivated by success than money you know.

No news on Petty is good news?

If you told me 12 months ago I'll be cheering for Ben Brown I would have told you to get stuffed. One of my most disliked player from my most disliked team. But gees I really like him now in red and blue. Speak so well, amazing goal kicker, and how about that marvellous hair!

The only player to have left the club recently who won't be spewing. Best of luck to him!

I mean all those games are trash except Dogs vs Melbourne. The other 3 will be complete wash overs. So naturally it'll be Collingwood v Geelong.

Kosi to kick 10? ?

I reckon that means the week prior, our game against the Dogs will also probably be a Friday night match (we play Adelaide on Saturday afternoon the week prior in Adelaide).

Great decision. Firstly he’s the only player on the list to have won a game at that ground. Secondly he’s the only player on the list who I would want kicking for goal to save my life. Thirdly he’s too good to play for a VFL team. My kingdom for a forward no more!

Wouldn’t get a game in the seniors.

What the hell do people want? I for one don’t want to hear from the president unless something really good (home base) or really bad (sacking) is going on. Quiet achievers at board level suit me just fine. Not everyone wants to be an Eddie or a Kennett. Some people just go about their business without being flogs.

It really doesn’t matter what you pay for a player, if they end up fulfilling the role you recruited them for. Lever is a genuine A grade defender and we have built an entire team around him and May. Sometimes you have to pay overs to get what you need, because it’s a hard find, and sometimes you get really lucky and pay unders like we did with Langdon. Swings and roundabouts.

I bet that Melbourne is working to extend the contracts of both Trac and Jackson as we speak. I know they are signed until the end of next year, but that will come around very quickly, and if we are to target someone like Merrett in the off season, we need to re-sign as many of our top players as we can so we can assess where our salary cap is at.

Stupid odds.

I guess that is good news for our Tassie fans (all 3 of you? haha) Hope we can finally find a win at the wind tunnel.

Good news. Trac next. Edit: And Jackson

Yeah I loved the umpire saying to Tom: "You hit him in the head" and Tom goes: "Yeah I know" ?

Good luck to him. I still think leaving Melbourne was the worst possible career and personal move he could have made. But it is his life, and I wish him all the best.

Of course it is better for us to play at Marvel. Firstly we play better there, secondly good preparation for our big game there against the Dogs. Less travel, no weather to contend with. It would be a big advantage to us.
