Cant' help it, it has all been said before but when I read all the posts about this guy, well, it just destroys my faith in human nature. Going back a little, he did very well with Brisbane. For 'family reasons' was heading back to the west, the MFC offers him big bucks, he jumps at it, OK gets a soft tissue injury, takes time to sort out, comes down with depression, recovers, is getting offered more big bucks to play with a more successful club and will no doubt take an offer. How many people have we all known, friends, family that have not had their battles to fight, mental, physical etc? He is an unworthy person, no more no less, it just sickens me. Apologies for the rant, whatever

Sorry, I don't quite understand your post ... Sheahan just said on twitter that "Goodwin to Crows is a done deal?" Is that a question or statement?

Don't understand all this 'he has to get used to the game plan etc.' For goodness sake, these guys have playing footy since they were in nappies, they should have a pretty good idea how to man up, intercept a pass, catch the blinking pill, handball, kick. It is hardly rocket science. I am not having a go at Garland either, the only guy who seems to 'get it' week in week out is N. Jones

Also...... I am fu%~^%~+^%~+^%~ing sick of losing...........

Live in the UK, woke up, eventually worked up the courage to look up the scores on AFL.com.au Another loss, not a surprise, shut down computer, had some brekky, went outside, a glorious day, managed to stop thinking about the team for a few hours....... Great

Height/weight of Barry Bourke? I had always thought of him as a sort of decoy FF, but reading these posts it seems as though he was too good to be called a decoy!

No one has mentioned when van Gaal comes out of contract with Man U. There would be a real manager...........

Funny, in the 'good old days' (20-30 years ago) and not necessarily the dees good days (did we have any?) a thrashing was a team winning by 50-60 points. One had a pretty good idea who was going to beat who, which games would be close and which teams would win well with few exceptions. Now it seems more difficult to predict. Brisbane donkey walloping Gold Coast, STK easily winning a couple of weeks ago, it seems more unpredictable to me. How can shite sides beat good sides when there is no indication of that happening prior to the game? Can the loss of just one player such as G. Ablett make such a difference? Can some of the 'more mature' demonlanders recall games where a team would fall apart after losing one player? Regards.

Why is it so........ I believe professor Julias Sumner Miller said this on his interesting programme. My why is it so: Why is it that St Kilda who sit on the bottom of the ladder are able to slaughter a so called top 4 side so easily..... They (the saints) supposedly have a shite list, nothing to play for, maybe would like to stay on the bottom of the ladder for a PP, whatever but come out and destroy Freo. Come to think of it, when was the last time our team destroyed anyone? Was it the finals 1987? Yes, we made a fantastic come back in one game in recent times, kicked 12 goals in a quarter but still won by just a few points.......... Enlighten me please.

MN, I am no doubt missing something here, however what concrete things have actually happened in the last few weeks even months to tell us for sure that "It's getting worse and worse for the bombers". Please enlighten me, Regards

Ah, JB, I didn't watch the game, bit difficult here to watch a game here in England when it is not broadcast though. Based on your 3 word all is not lost then? ..... A little humour, we need it......

Anyone out there old enough to remember the 'coodabeen's? Which was the guy who always spoke with a sinus problem, the one who had the rumours? IE '.....speaking to a guy the other day who was walking past a bus stop and he heard this guy talking.....'. blah blah blah. What I'm trying to say, all these rumours about Frawley, how accurate are they? Does any Dlander have real evidence that he is going? The thread is going 'round in circles.

Not too difficult to work out why you hate North, KDA! Something like they beat (sometimes slaughter) us every time we play....... I want the dees to win as well but appreciate good teams playing good football.

Oh no, you mean that Dolly Parton has a plastic surgeon? That has just wrecked my whole day, IF it is true. Seriously though, some of us demonlanders seem to take great glee from this situation. This is not a fun situation for anyone who likes watching AFL or who is associated with the game in whatever role. I agree with one of the posts however, it would be great to beat another team fair and square, not one decimated by injuries, banned players etc.

Top guy, forget football for a minute, just a good man.
