  1. It just struck me as odd that there is not a Norm Smith trophy for something! What more could an individual do for one club?
  2. Imagine if we could get someone like Steff Martin!
  3. Anyone thought that Spencer might crack it and take an offer somewhere else? Would not blame him. That would force our hand. He should have got a few runs in the ones this season based on his form in the twos but Roos had other strategies that we know and I don't disagree with.
  4. I agree we do need some leg speed but where do we find it, no first rounder this year?
  5. Interesting post what point are you trying to make?
  6. Their list is so young and given the pipeline of first round picks they have lined up in the coming drafts, the top pick talent that can't get a game that they will be able to trade out and their academy talent I think you can lock them in to be contending for the next 10 years! The AFL have created a monster and don't write off the Suns to follow them.
  7. I am follicley challenged like my avatar and I do have a lethal backhand volley! So yes there are similarities.
  8. I would assume Fitzy will be instructed to just get to contests and get the ball to ground for Cyril and co. He doesn't have to kick a bag to do his job.
  9. Thought we were talking very early about Brad Green's son!
  10. Gee DL must have had the book thrown at him because he has been off air for months.
  11. Nothing to see here I am afraid Uncle, just meticulous contingency planning on my part. Of course we want our customers to have the full Cairo to Constantinople Middle East Desert experience. They have asked to have the full Lawrance of Arabia experience, camping in Bedouin huts, riding a camel through Wadi Rum and charging into Aqaba and so on. To make this happen I often need to stay in the nearest major city to negotiate our way with the local governors. Choncita, the administrator, extraordinaire makes it all happen of course. We are all about customer service you know.
  12. Yes Ernest I say sign before Christmas or f...off to Freo or where ever. We don't need another year of conjecture and the fact is our forward line has played better without him for some of our unexpected wins at Geelong and against The Dorks so there is life without Jesse and on form this season his price must have dropped.
  13. Unfortunately injuries had caught up with him, he was cooked as far as AFL level play is concerned. Mentally he was gone as well.
  14. Careful or you will cop one hell of a spray from Jackovitch just like Connolly!!
  15. I think it is a bit different for the Lions. They have not been found not guilty of tanking like us and fined $500K so it is different. Make sense?
  16. Listening to Gill on SEN tonight he said Brisbane had lodged their case for a priority pick but didn't know the detail. It would be evaluated by Evans and Dillon and the the Commission would ponder and decide, so he said. What a joke, the commission of drones has always just rubber stamped Evan's decision in the past. I just get the feeling this time the commission will be given permission and encouraged to say yes to a priority, maybe a second rounder. And it will come with all the legitimacy of our wise commissioners. Who could argue with such collective wisdom.
  17. Yes I remember that game where we supposedly tanked. We managed to be ahead on points when the siren sounded but apparently according to Caroline Wilson there were some suspicious fumbles of the ball on the boundary line just seconds before the ball was kicked to Jordan McMahon who then kicked the winning goal for the Tigers. I think it was Pettard who fumbled in the last seconds and gee he had never done that before so the evidence was compelling.
  18. Aleppo PD? There are still seats available on my Cairo to Constantinople Grand Tour. Aleppo or what's left of it anyway, is one of the scenic highlights of this trip of a lifetime, however short that might be. Can I count you in?
  19. Hypocrisy thy name is Jacko! Tanking accusations from a side that managed to pull Luke Shuey as a priority pick in the 2008 draft just 2 seasons after winning a drug fuelled flag! Give me a break.
  20. I loved watching the second half, the girls really have a dip and go in for the ball with out fear for their safety. Great game although we didn't win but overall let's be honest the skills were suburban level for much of the time, great endeavour but dropped chest marks, fumbles when clear etc. However the skills will improve with the new league.
  21. Uncle you realise that while Biffo was in court today some poor sod fell out of a window at the Gat head first! Once he leaves others in charge, the place turns to chaos. Why is he so persecuted by the plod?
  22. Or Alex Silvagni ex Scorpion! Either way it's win win
  23. If Vardy was available l say get him subject to a medical of course. We need another backup ruck, forward for Max and Spencil.
  24. Hogan for Zac Dawson straight swap get it done now while he still has trade value!
  25. Hardwick must have some photos because how else does he survive? It's the fault of everyone who reports to me that is the problem! It's not me, they just won't follow orders? Really not sure how he can survive given that the club has recognised the need for a purge of their coaching and player development.
