This is the first time I've posted in this thread. I hope the content below is appropriate - given from what I've read on this page alone it looks as though a few can do with a chuckle. Read this today by a poet from Vic who is a long time Eagles follower. TRADE IS POETIC KARMA by Josh Vinecombe I'd like to reflect as an Eagle, On Carlton's trade for Judd, The one involving Kennedy, When the PM was Kevin Rudd. With Kreuzer, Gibbs and Murphy, And the cash of Richard Pratt, Carlton's hopes were growing, While ours was dashed with that The trade of the century, Our Captain and Number 3 For an unproven forward, In the shape of Kennedy. Which club would be the winner Only finals tell the score. Now it's eight years later We know who won for sure In the year that Judd retires, The Eagles are Number 2 Kennedy wins the Coleman And the Wooden Spoon is Blue

Considering we're going to get a similar value pick for Howe, giving up 25 on Melksham is reasonable in my opinion. FD thinks he'll be in the 22 on game day and he's a mature body.

Correct.

Yeah, and that's why he's playing waffle footy.

I can't get past the idea that Geelong are looking like picking up Dangerfield, Henderson and now a good chance of landing Scott Selwood. Surely they won't have enough draft picks to trade and all these deals will require substantial player swaps as well.

The blokes a midget, albeit a fast one.

I don't think Viney made as much of an impact on the game as Brayshaw has in their respective first year thus far. They're both blessed with leadership traits and an agressive playing style.

A co-captaincy of Viney and Brayshaw after Jonesy's tenure ends seems a reasonable proposition.

Adds weight to the 'raising the draft age' debate.

It's too easy to blame a dud coach with sole responsibility. The whole footy dept was part of this decision. It was unwise but as DD36 mentions, we've made plenty of blunders over the duration.

The thread was started specifically for people who can't get over it.

Kick, [censored] - whatever.. Although nowadays, flogging a dead horse brings about all sorts of connotations. ED: Lol, there you have it. "Fl og" is censored. [censored] me.

This is a separate thread specifically for the whining, Ethan. You're allowed to be truly ridiculous. Give it a try..

I refuse to get over this until Jimmy gives Ollie a bath when we vs Port and he collects 3 Charlie votes. Until then, the Whines Lounge will get traffic.

A little bit...

Google 'Hairy Thing.' Besides Chewbacca, there's a few other interesting images.

Yeah, that way would see him causing explosions at centre bounces with Jimmy Toumpas.

Meanwhile, at Port Adelaide...

You cruel bastard. Still, I will save my biggest ever whinge for this thread when we trade Toumpas back to Adelaide as part of the PD deal.

Why couldn't you change the story to "fearless pig dogs" instead of Border Collies. Would've had a better ring to it..

102 points! I can remember when Birre were the power team back in the early 90's Are the finals still played at Central reserve in Colac?

Ollie is the reason Port are playing finals. Hell, if we'd drafted him we'd be playing off in a prelim this weekend.

You have seriously got to be [censored] me.
