Exactly - The comments about Meghan are unremarkable. The other one is unclear. It could be racist or it could be harmless and unless you hear the full conversation its hard to judge. The usual Demonland lynch mob is as usual out for blood. As soon as "male privilege" appears be very wary.

Jeez mate you need to get out more. I've heard both audios & there is nothing said that you wouldn't hear from groups of men or women in a bar. There is salty language if u are easily offended but its arguably not misogynistic or racist.

I'm surprised that neither WC nor the AFL have clearly stated that he has been actually vaccinated. He could still get around the AFL protocols by getting an exemption for medical reasons.

Not sure what you mean by this "normal state ranks". He came through like everyone else - junior rep teams, district cricket, Shield cricket then played for Australia.

Agree 100%. Compounded by missing maybe 60 odd games injured. Games where he could have been at Casey or in the firsts honing his craft. I am yet to be convinced that his body can take it without breaking down. I wish him all the best.

Hibberd was very good yesterday. If he continues like that he will hold his spot. Has a touch of aggro & desperation that we all love.

Bowey was poor today, particularly his disposal by foot. I thought Rivers was poor as well.

Agree - a great mark

Just trying to keep things in perspective. The Board under Bartlett including Kate R was pretty good but some of the fawning has been over the top. Maybe its understandable in a Flag year.

Well that would have depended on how Goodwin went in 2021. It was the make or break year for him. He had been coach for 4 year with 1 successful year & 3 failed years. Failure in 2021 & obviously the knives would have been out.

Jeez guys lets keep this in perspective. A cardboard cut out would have made a successful Prez this year. Kate is very lucky with her timing. She sounds like an intelligent, reasonable person & I hope she goes down as one of our best ever but up to now everything has been easy. Lets give it a few years before we judge.

No.

Think its more about games. Tom Hafey & Allan Jeans reckoned as a rule players had to play 85 games before they peaked.

Watts was hardly a failure. Would have played 200 games if not for breaking his leg. He was a lot better than some other no 1 picks. He & Nic Nat were universally predicted to go 1 & 2 that year.

Just like to point out double standards. Hilarious to make Italians the punchline but if it was Sudanese, Indigenous or maybe gay or transgender the lynch mob would have been out. Where is Flaubert and his long winded history lesson or bleeding heart Dieter when you need them ?

Racist comment. Deserves to be cancelled & a 5 year ban.

Pull the other one. He went to the Cats because they went within a whisker of a flag in 2020 while we struggled. He figured he would have a better chance of winning a flag with them.

I'm still a annoyed we recruited him. We could have selected Dylan Grimes who Richmond grabbed with the next pick. Dean Bailey seemed frustrated that we missed out on Luke Ball so McDonald was presented as a "gun" recruit instead of the plodder that he really was.

We lost a large number of decent players from 1965 to about 1980 who all went to other Clubs. Tells a story.

Certainly had ability although disposal needed work. Very unlucky this year. Played in the preseason Community series against the dogs & copped a serious [censored] injury which needed surgery & missed a month or more. If he had stayed fit he would have been well placed to replace Nev Jetta early in the season.

Thanks Uncle QD.

Couldn't pick him ahead of Clark, Jurrah & Hogan.

Neeld is the obvious choice. Scumbag Scully the skipper.

Well if things had worked out differently all of these players could have still been at the Club in 2021. Mind you Brock is 35 & Harry L, Dunnny & Mitch Clark are all 34 so pushing it a bit but I thought it was an interesting exercise plus I'm on my 4th shiraz.
