Undeeterred

I was playing golf with a mate at Leongatha when I was about 11 or 12 and Garry Lyon, Glenn Lovett and another player I can’t remember now pulled up at the tee to play after us. We were a bit star struck and Lyon pulled clubs out of both our bags and had a swing with them. He struck me as a bit of a k n o b but Lovett was lovely. ANB, Tom McDonald, Tomlinson, Sparrow and Jordon are all pretty regular at my local cafe. Dom Tyson and JKH used to come in a lot too. JKH lived in the street and didn’t know how to cook so ate there LOTS. Nice kid. Tomlinson is always up for a chat and is a ripping bloke. TMac usually has one or both of his kids so has his hands full but always has a big grin and is really friendly. The younger kids like Sparrow and Jordon remind me how old I am and how young they are. In person they look like they should still be in high school...

Awkward

From his Fox Footy work, Dal Santo actually seems like a really nice, reasonable bloke.

Want to revisit this now??

I can’t be bothered reading the whole debate but whoever is saying Salem is either lazy or a liability clearly hasn’t seen much football. He is absolutely excellent, and one of our most important players.

Except we just did

Sorry but this is a very silly thread.

Did you know that swearing actually reduces the feeling of pain and increases pain tolerance? Give him a break, it’s not like he wasn’t doing them.

Our form in the last month is comfortably beating two of the other three teams in the top 4, beating probably the hottest and most hyped team in the league and a disappointing loss. It’s pretty good form, to be fair.

Yet we do

I don’t get this. I’d far rather play Brisbane in the finals than Geelong, even away.

This

They kind of have, 11 times

Unless Geelong win of course, which given the game is in Geelong is a pretty big possibility

Do a ladder predictor sometime and see where you land

Geelong, Brisbane and the Bulldogs, AKA the rest of the top four, haven’t been able to. Or Richmond

Oh come on. We’ve won 11 games for goodness sake. You can’t win every week it’s just not realistic.

Yes. Absolutely.

No big deal. Ready for a bye.

Yeah true I suppose

Jordan Lewis was pushed out the door. It’s a completely different situation. You’re talking about approaching Pendlebury and convincing him to come here. Not going to happen.

We traded for him expecting Tom McDonald to be gone or in the 2s. Not sure where you’ve been hiding if you don’t know that.

I’d have Maynard over any of the first three in a heartbeat. Joel Smith has proven he isn’t up to the grade at the least, whereas at least Maynard has smashed it for years in a top 4 team

The odds of that are zero. He’s the games record holder for captains at Collingwood. There’s no way he’s going anywhere, childhood dreams or not.

I have to admit, I think I misread the original post and thought it said Hibberd wasn’t a lockdown defender. Not sure it did in hindsight
