Imagine asking our Jessie what state he'd want to be in.

I would have thought a pretty good deal for the dogs. They actually only give up two first rounders and some steak knives.

Happy with the trade. But let's not kid ourselves. Hipwood's complete reverse engineer as a consistent tall forward wasn't enough for TF to play consistent senior footy at the Bears.

Somewhere on Grevile Street.

Normal state of affairs then where the Deez and Clarry are concerned.

You should make that women of yours a life member @DeeZone

The AFL is one of the least trustworthy organisations in the country, full stop. I cannot stand my bank, telco or airline, but I trust them more than the AFL. Can anyone actually name three more untrustworthy organisations (governments aside) than the AFL?

I used to bowl at Graham Yeats in U16s. He ensured I hit the side of St Paul's on the third and fifth ball of each over.

2018 was anything but a choke.

Rather than MM in September, just do what Maysie does. Mad June.

Even though I can, I'm not going tomorrow. Sitting there thinking this should have been us.

You've just gone into Bunnings to buy a pint of milk @Timothy Reddan-A'Blew

They are both lawyers maybe, but is either of them going straight?

Maysie's taken his boogie board.

what was Errol's price at the beginning of the night?

WTF???

You're argument is flawed on a couple of levels @Wells 11. But the one I've highlighted takes the cake. I'd be interested in what the other 17 coaches, and heads of football, think of Goody.

You're a dead set minimiser @Clintosaurus. It was a bag of chips, a small diet coke and a stale wagon wheel.

What I've seen in recent years is a shed-load of 18 year olds ripping it up in their first year. Can't think of one player in the comp in the last 10 years who could be described as being played to early resulting in hindered development.

Good responses @Redleg. As I understand it, we also received a concession pick in 2008 that we spent on Sam Blease. We also received millions in financial assistance from the AFL to transition out of the Neeld ara. But I take your point.

My point is this @Mach5 . . . it's the raison d'etre of the AFL to protect the clubs from their own ineptitude. Unarguably, it's one of the main functions of the AFL, to ensure the welfare of all participating clubs.

Amazing the short memories of some posters on D'Land. Melbourne have been the recipients of VFL/AFL handouts on multiple occasions in the last 50 years. A strong argument can be put forth that we do not win in '21 without the most recent handouts. Furthermore, it's the raison d'etre of the AFL - to protect the clubs from their own ineptitude. Unarguably, it's one of the main functions of the AFL, to ensure the welfare of all participating clubs.

Carlscum won't make finals next year.

Hope he has better luck teaching Toranto how to kick than he had at Melbourne with Trac, Viney and Oliver.

Nothing is unchangeable at X.
