Return to Glory

Who knew that you could put Mark Neeld's game plan on a plate.

Got to admit, I've been a little pessimistic about Gus ever becoming a very good player for us. Looks like I could be wrong. Hope so. Today was a real step forward.

The three-years-away dream - Son of a gun, Kobe Farmer in tandem with Charlie. I've lost it but it's possible.

First goal - Clean hands in the contest.

Gut feeling - Charlie has the wherewithal to succeed at this level and will be one of the success stories for the Dees in 2018.

My understanding is that he's talented. Dad's level? Don't know.

Would love an update. Over 6 months since my last semi - desperate post. Any news 'Landers?

You may well be right Redleg. I worry for Gus. I'm not entirely sure why but I connect his concussion situation with Jack Trengove's injury issues. They're not the same, I know, but it niggles away, perhaps irrationally so.

If he did get a run (not sure he will) I'm wondering whether Goodwin would consider assigning him an out an out run with role? If you're short of a run and a little down on confidence it's not the worst thing to have to do...imo

Put BBO on to Toast of London. If you're into twisted degenerates who constantly fluck up, you may enjoy it.

The bit where it pulled into the station. Not kidding.

Might just do that. Thrilled to have this kid. Cannot have enough players who hate losing. Confident he falls into that category.

Reported that he's been arrested.

Yes Outside 50, I can hear you.

Really? I absolutely love it.

I know the stats have him at 172cm but he plays like 174cm. So that's a win.

Let's just hope he's not a heartbreaker.

Don't mind this pick. We tend to gravitate towards mids and forwards but like this kid. Reckon he may be pretty tough.

Charlie Spargo will be an absolute gem for us. Ideal pick imo.

I'm jealous. But well done.

Too late, I'm proclaiming him our messiah

It won't hurt though if it's not down there as much

Agreed. You don't put a player such as Brayshaw on the table unless the target is an out and out gun. Lever's good but not that good.

This is not the forum to talk about your sexual history SL. Stay on topic. Moderators?

It's hard. My initial thoughts: Essendon - drug fiends and I've never forgiven Michael Long re Troy Simmonds. West Coast - see Essendon, plus they stole a Premiership Geelong - smug bastards and supporters with dubious backgrounds in Western District animal husbandry Hawthorn - see Geelong with the added bonus of supporters who can't lose gracefully, don't know the game and probably beat their dogs GWS - artificial construct that's been given the world Gold Coast - see GWS plus Gary Junior's a [censored] St Kilda - hated Ross Lyon and Riewoldt's an albino Freo - continue to hate Ross Lyon and Ballintyne is an aggressive midget Upon reflection, this is a list that is reflective of my own hatreds rather than actual rivalries.
