We could lose by 15 goals here. Plenty of time left.

It's pretty clear that there is a core of about 24 or 25 players that they want to play at all costs. They are never going to come out and say we are sacrificing games to give Goodwin the best handover possible, but that's clearly what is going on.

Quite. I was being a little sarcastic.

Dunn and Morton snagging multiple sausage rolls. Those were the days....

You are being impatient as well as a bit naive. They have to work out how much they need to pay Hogan before they do anything else. Also, you're assuming that the club has made them decent offers. Maybe they aren't signing because the money on the table isn't good enough.

It's just really awesome always getting a running total on your betting account mate. Thanks for sharing.

Grimes won't be able to hold his excellent VFL form forever and I think, if he can't get in this week, he's probably missed his chance. Barring injuries, I think his form has to drop off sometime and he will fall from the front of the queue.

They're just under so much pressure. Most of their shots on goal are either hurried or from miles away.

Well yes, that was clearly what I meant to say.

Now that Dangerfield has settled in at Geelong, they're looking super dangerous. They are going to absolutely destroy the Dogs tonight and have to be flag favourite.

Pretty disrespectful to the bloke who keeps this site going so you can fill up your free time reading it. Just saying.

Dawes played pretty well in the wet against Hawthorn, I thought.

Have you ever once engaged your 'maybe I don't need to respond to this' filter? Obviously not. You should.

That's selective quoting, at best.

Sure, except when players perform, and don't get a crack. You wait until Garlett gets named this week or next, on the back of zero strong performances in the twos. And Wagner coming from nowhere, with little VFL form to speak of. This 'rewarding performance' stuff is used when it suits, and conveniently overlooked when it doesn't.

This. Roos is not known for his adaptability and this particular agenda is obviously supported in other parts of the FD.

Are you kidding?? This is dead set the best thread we've had in ages.

Ouch. Love it.

Who is that?

Well, there was one at that point. This is a new one.

You never forget how to ride a bike mate.

People perhaps forget how good he looked before he did his foot. I remember thinking we had an absolute super star on our hands in those early years. Injuries can't be helped (must be something in the water in the Grimes house) but says more about our club than him that he's ended up where he is. You simply can't fault his endeavour - he's just been monstered by circumstance. And its all been said before, and it really sucks.

Perhaps stop assuming that I'm criticising him before you arc up. Or do you just enjoy inflaming the discussion for no reason?

Wow, that is weird.

Yeah, that's a good point.
