TRIGON

Good point you make there; Peter Bell come Trade Week:

Voted no, but it's a nuanced no. At the start of the year my primary concern was that if we didn't click now we may start to bleed quality players who'd go looking for greener pastures; we've managed to lock most (not all) key players into long-term contracts which bodes well for the future and that's a big tick. However we have had a great run, for the most part, with the health of the list. This sets up an opportunity that is relatively rare and so it would be disappointing if it were to be squandered.

Q1/ GWS because I'd like to see the entitlement attitude I've encountered with many Hand-bagger supporters crushed by a straight-sets elimination. Q2/ I really have no idea who will win this one - and that's a good thing.

Saw Joe Biden on the morning news a couple of days ago and thought to myself, @Wizard of Koz is NOT going to like this...

The Mark Neeld years were as grim as it gets. My understanding was the he was given the mandate to 'toughen" the squad up. Unfortunately it sounds like he took it way too far...

I'm not sure about the magnification of childbirth x 100. However there is an argument for childbirth being less painful; I have heard of many women says "lets have another child" and yet never ever heard of any man saying "that was great, how about another kick in the Jatz Crackers".

Draft and Trading being our speciality.

I'd argue that many of them are not journalists, just 'reporters'.

I'd suggest you just take his word for it.

A 2 on his left cheek and 21 on the other?

Plus fined for "Unnecessary Travel".

Juicy poll topic, might just wait until the teams get announced.

Nice of him to call 🙄.

Gleeson forgot to add Selwood, Dangerfield and Hawkins.

It's WA @jaded, they're Cave Men! That being the case you might want consider re-submitting your application, this time including a photo:

Could not agree more. Even a suspended sentence would be more effective. So many serial offenders getting fined and then using 'no suspensions' as evidence of good character; complete nonsense.

My mistake @WalkingCivilWar, clumsy use of the emoticon. I was facepalming Leppa's tweet, not your thoughts on it. My apologies for causing you upset.

Hell's teeth, personal character assassination just doesn't come any harsher than that!

Because we meet the winner of GEE Vs GWS in the preliminary final. Therefore, as Demonlanders, our position on the matter is abundantly clear. This incident is either: a) a fine, or b) a two-week suspension.

Agreed, intentional and gutless.

Not so sure about that Jaded, going into a contest half-hearted means you're more likely to come off second-best.

Looking forward to watching the replay later after my wife has finished her screen-time with Better Homes and Gardens (a happy marriage is full of compromises). Before that happens I just want to mention how impressed I was with Trent River's pressure acts when the Lions were challenging us; first class effort.

Yes, Powell-Pepper came on and executed very well. However, need to keep it in perspective. At that stage of the game Geelong were cooked, it was like stealing candy from a baby stout from a pensioner.

Could get your wish; shall be watching Dangerfield's calf muscles, in a non-homeoerotic* fashion, with great interest. *not that there's anything wrong with that...
