Return to Glory

In respect to the clean out, suspect this may be close to the mark.

That's quite a coincidence. I emailed the club last year to let them know I thought Nate Fyfe was a handy player. Do you think I got a response? Treated with utter contempt. This year I was going to make an observation about Paddy Dangerfield but I am convinced they won't reply. I'm not going to bother. #crazy town

In terms of later picks, very bullish on Kurt Mutimer. Have had a little to do with him and significant upside imo. Central to Vic Country down back but received very little media attention. Good kick.

I would have thought it's a reflection of supporter loyalty Machsy,.... sorry Mach5. Hence, the word support.

It's been a career of cameos so shouldn't be a problem

Serena is also stronger than Christian.

Prestia or if that fails, OMeara. If that fails and 18 of our senior players get done for steroids, Morton...the brother.

Yes

There's lots to like about Colin Garland except for his kicking. He actually kicks floaters not dissimiliar to how Cale Morton used to and Gaspar also. If you watch him closely, he makes contact with the ball right on it's point (when the ball is vertical) as opposed to the sweet spot behind the point. Hence, too many up and unders. I used to do same in the shite leagues.

Great get rickyt. Ugly starting position, great contact.

Skuit, I defended Lucas Cook, even when he left football to manufacture T shirts. The bloke was a [censored] visionary. The football world just couldn't see it. But I digress.

It is Skuit. Ignore that nasty man. Roam.

You can get past this in your head Skuit.

Perhaps we could contact the AFL and say that we made a mistake. What sounded like 'Toumpas' on draft night was actually 'Wines'.

Hey Picket, I didn't know you weren't a fan of Tom McDonald

STMJ, the thing I'll say in relation to Garland is that he's been cruelled by injury. If you remember, pre injury he was proving a revelation. He's a player who has seen the footy swept into his area in the last five years, more than some backmen see in a lifetime. I'd cut him a little slack and let him do a full pre-season.

In a heartbeat BBO. O' Meara, Viney, Brayshaw, Petracca, Tyson, Jones, Vince..........Bail

Absolutely, our first pick and Howe. It's not an overly strong draft so why not?

You do have a point but, for mine, it's about the perception that we are not going to be second class citizens. Same with trading with Geelong re Clark. Probably just my frustration at where we are.

Another clubs motives or politics?

Maybe so Old Dee but for too long it's felt like we've invited strangers to our house and somehow we're sleeping in the spare bedroom with the shite mattress.

Fitness and diet DVD's have been created out of less.

If we were to trade Petracca, a 92 kg running midfielder who can take a grab forward, we truly are insane. At some point in time you have to take a punt that a bloke will be a champ. What's the point otherwise? It's akin to saying that we are aiming at being mediocre.

I was saying the same thing to Machsy right before I declared him a pseudo intellectual, try hard [censored].

Agree, I'm used to watching thrashings. Would just rather see them with hope of better to come.
