Return to Glory

Mick Molloy - wow. Should've been tapped on the shoulder a while back.

Geez, I'd be looking for a bit more than that.

Ta rpfc. I thought that was how it worked. So basically, we need to get the deal done beforehand.

Plus a player...Walters.

Would we get him there? I can't even remember how it works.

Short reply to a lengthy post STMJ, but I'm coming around to the value of Melksham as depth. It probably comes back to what ludicrous offer Essendon requires and I could see the trade being stalled because of it.

Hamish McLachlan - what a wonderful media performer. The wit of David Niven blended effortlessly with the machismo of James Garner (circa Rockford Files). May he do fashion at the Brownlow forever.

Feel like Fyfe missed too many games at the end. Time for a ruckman - Goldstein.

When Silvani reflects on his time at GWS, in spite of the unprecedented number of top end picks, he will surely concede to himself that he picked an incredible number of duds. Kristian Jaksch, now Carlton, may be one of the worst footballers I have ever seen (I'm not joking here - he's putrid) and, for mine, Bugg doesn't seem to have it either. Patton's been a flop, Whitfield hasn't lived up to his hype and then there's phat phil.

Melbourne indicating they would have paid over the odds for Dangerfield (whether it be true or not...maybe a ploy) surely encourages Adelaide to play hardball with Geelong. It puts Adelaide in the mindset of 'let's not get ripped off here'.

Are you now suggesting Langford for Frawley?

Al knows that one has been playing predominantly as a key forward and the other predominantly as a smaller mid. Hey, that's what Al knows.

pinko, commo

Cowabunga dude

I have a little to do with footy in the Mornington Peninsula and crowds are getting worse. There's more booze and there's a greater willingness of supporters to impose themselves on the game. I.e. The Nepean GF culminated in Somerville supporters throwing full cans at the Rosebud coach as he celebrated - pretty sure nothing happened. .Apparently arrests.

I'd like to think we can name every mid fielder in every other team over the course of the summer. I'm hearing strong rumours around Dale Thomas.

Go to a game and it's normally a queue to get a beer so I'd be looking at targeting surrounding pubs in terms of responsible service. Not a cure all, I know but I'd be amazed if that loser wasn't sloshed pre game.

So do I hardtack. The problem is too many blokes are tanked before they even get to the game.

He's the victim you see.

I'd take it in a nanosecond.

Could be first round and Howe for Prestia.

Finey on SEN made a fair point last night. One of the problems is that security over there really just consists of supporters of the club and they're shite scared to take any meaningful action (when they're not simply watching the match).

I'm up for anything that stuffs Geelong.

Yes and Plugger wants to make the move to Sydney.

He was reliable once but now in rehab.
