    Frawley?
  2. I think the bar was lifted with Hogan. There was precious little relief from the clowns masquerading as journos badgering him about his contract and intentions, two effing years before a signature was required.
  3. Carlton? No After Melbourne he played for Williamstown before returning to WA. He then played for a WAFL team I think.
  4. I get about 10 seconds per minute of coverage, then buffering and whatever. Signing out now and look forward to the B & F feedback from those there or others with better streaming. Go Dees
  5. Appreciate his efforts at the club over the years. As passionate about the club as any going around. All the best and here's hoping the Butrgatron Phantom Draft makes a long awaited return.
  6. VDB's contract would've had a trigger clause to get him his second year. Unfortunately he cant get his body right. He could barely train over the last 3 weeks of his 6 week season. I think it's reasonable to offer him one year deal with a trigger clause. I don't begrudge him the opportunity to be on Sydney's injury list for the next 3 years.
  7. 4 & 5 (or whatever that ends up being). Hogan is a KPP yet to reach his prime. To echo Grazman, I'm don't get why posters sell us so short, or do they think we'll be pushovers at the trade table? I would happily use one to trade for May with plenty of change. I would also like to use one in the draft. I would also happily trade both for Kelly and change, which is a pipe dream I'd like to keep running with.
  8. Freo got Pick 2 for Lachie Weller Bandits
  9. I got sucked in too. I thought China Southern or Virgin were putting on a flight and MFC were doing a reasonable package to get members to and from the game. Not too much to ask eh! SIX tickets FFS
  10. I loved the fact that the crowd was 60-40 our way. How did that happen? I loved the fact that the crowd was 70-30 our way v the cats the week before. Those two clubs are way bigger than us on the membership scale. It just goes to show what a few decent wins can do to drag all those Melb supporters out of the woodwork.
  11. I'll be in the queue for a Priority 2 ticket and will be mightily effed off if some non-member barcode beggar gets a seat ahead of me. On ya bike (putting it very politely)
  12. Oscar's field kicking has been excellent for some time now. He just doesn't miss targets. Very happy to have the ball in his hands at the moment (for kicking )
  13. Probably a Hawthorn supporting loser

    It's sad this is the case. It was only last year he was lauded for his forward pressure. What the hell went wrong? https://thewest.com.au/sport/goals-a-bonus-for-melbourne-demons-tackling-machine-jeff-garlett-ng-b88528653z
  15. I think Tom and Phil should be at Gold Coast. Phil could be the nutrition expert, along with Dewy. If Gold Coast looked like making finals, it would be opportune to move Scully on, to say Carlton or Freo.
  16. Hannan isn't the elite runner that Smith is, particularly with his dodgy knee. Harmes isn't slow either, but I don't think he'll go to Smith (at the start anyway).
  17. He left Geelong because he had kids really young ? To sum up - nothing was his fault and to echo Steve above, rambling rubbish.
  18. Followed by Cheddar Hughes
  19. Would Carlton do Pick 1 for McGovern and Adelaide's Pick 7, or whatever it is?

    The Toump is available too!

    I think the intimidating guts help with the overall look too.
  22. Spargo will benefit the most from a week off, so he stays in. JKH made a few critical errors and it was painfully obvious most players were looking for options other than him, even when he was the open player. Other than that he was ok. For me it's Tyson and Kent out for: Viney and Hannan. Would also look at JKH for Garlett but JKH applies way more pressure and covers the ground. Garlett, on song, kicks goals. Tough one. Do not want Bugg
  23. He's coming on in leaps and bounds. He's making less errors, hitting targets and backing himself. Go Frosty!
