there are forumites here that seem almost too happy to ridicule Cousins... that is very sad

it never ceases to amaze me how people can such jpy put ofother ppls misfortune... like those carlton supporters who are actually glad Hamils career ended prematurely

Josh Thurgood has been delisted by Hawthorn. Was treated horribly in 2005, being played on gorilla forwards when he weighed as much as a paper clip. I thought he showed signs of a good fullback in the making, if he could only put on some muscle. I think ur thinking of zac dawson... isn't JT the lit...

i'd still have kept him ahead of Rix... still I'm glad that RL has at least made some tough decisions rather than the "i'll keep him on the list but not play him" model we've seen as of late

I don't have an agenda against Rix, I just don't rate him... i don't think he offers anything to the team at all. I don't think Brooks is much better but I acknowledge the fact that he can catch the ball and roost it... its looking like his career will amount to nothing and he'll kick himself for no...

the up side to rix is he put his body on the line and give chase and at least create a contest which all equates to nothing... he gave a chase = lagged behind his opponent, gets to the contest but may as well not have... puts his body on the line, what does that even mean, some of u guys are so cau...

I'm all for clearing out deadwood... BUT: - Surely Brooks has more upside than Rix? - Why would you move on McQualter, yet keep Clinton Jones? - Given we've lost Gehrig, and Kosi - depsite a good recent injury record - could be suspect to injury, why would we get rid of Watts? You'd have to think t...
