Wells 11

yes agreed. chipped cartilage not strained?? what’s the likely scenario? a./ career ending possible amputation. b./ season ending c./ 12 weeks plus. Back in for finals d./ 4-6 ( which safely covers all of the above) e./ @Webber

I reckon at least 5 of them were against gawn to English in really minor strange decisions. I don’t know what the dogs do to get consistently get the rub of the green but it’s something!

yep… but daylight wasn’t seen all night. ;-)

It’s her modus operandi. She’s gotten very accomplished at it.

Times sure have changed havent they. Some great memories being created here.

The tigers got so burnt with Buddy, then we got so burnt with Dusty, now the Saints have got some painful years coming there way watching Trac. It’s good to be on the other side this time.

Sounds very definitive. Have they left the club?

In disbelief. Thanks for all the golden memories Shane. 52 years old ..so young 😔 Can’t help thinking about a verse from Neil young’s “ hey hey my my” when I think on this. “..The king is gone but he’s not forgotten. This is the story of johnny rotten. It’s better to burn out than it is to fade away… hey hey my my”

I really think we need to do everything we can to keep her. Aside from being very astute game wise she’s an incredibly potent marketing weapon. The dees need that kind of influence on new supporters to keep our club up the forefront. .

that won’t work anymore as it’s all digital now … so if we lose to NM tom you’ll have to microwave yr phone!

There was just a ridiculous number of highlights from round 23 on weren’t there! Enough for a whole season. re watched round 23 yesterday and can still feel that utter disbelief i felt back then. To win the minor after the siren is a memory to take with me to the grave… only to be bettered in the GF .

yes...and..sometimes the perfect can be become the enemy of the good. Our time to strike is now. Our club is in a peak window for attracting interest and money. Who knows how long his will last!

True. Not that we should have needed one given we're our club was not so long ago in the Bailey/ Neeld/ tanking saga days. We've got an exceptional playing list with exceptional depth for the first time in my life. But we've got a LOT of work to do to build up our membership, create a frikn home base and be seen as a powerful club on and off the ground. In those terms we won a flag but this needs to be just the beginning....we're only at base camp on our way up to the peak of Everest.

I thought we'd seen the plans and it WAS decided ...just not yet announced? Do you know if there has been a particular roadblock arise or things are just as they were?

As much as i loved Schwartz or Jakovich in their prime, or any number of others, it’s impossible not to pick Robbie. Best I’ve ever seen play …from any club.

dude… you’ve got to update your profile name! Its a new world.

I’m so glad our recruits don’t come in under that kind of pressure anymore! how many careers were ruined that way. I truly wish him well but can see no way, with that build, playing ruck he will impact the comp in 2022. Nor should he remotely be expected to.

and this against the best in the comp!

Boom! named it in one I think the most irritating thing about listening to Scott is that it feels like he's diminishing our prelim win or trying to. He's also no doubt trying to protect his coaching position and legacy. Wouldnt you LOVE to hear him say, I realise the game style we were using had too many holes and Melb was a team that could really show those holes up. This is at least as true as anything else. I'll look forward to Geelong finishing in the top 6 and getting bundled out in the 1st week ...again. I have a special reserved hate for this team now.

another season or two like the one he just had and it’s a done deal.

Awesome work. For the record, obviously I loved the guy as a kid, Wells didnt leave for success but was moved on to save money. But I too was super happy he won a flag at the blues. I recognise it's all conjecture and its impossible to please everyone which is half the fun of this type of thing but, for mine, Neitz should be somewhere top 15 but not top 5. A very very good player but imo not a great.

so……. any actual news about his contract status?

for the 20th time

any idea of where we were this time last year?
