Re: Why I hate Walsh’s irrelevance comment

I liked it, as it confirms to supporters that at least one person down there isn't delusional, which can be hard to know at times. And as an 'Outsider' irrelevance is exactly how the wider football world obviously see us. We are vanilla... we know it, he knows it, we all know it. It's over time tha...

Re: The Ben Long Deal

We really showed those Suns how creative we are.

This offseason sure has an underwhelming feel to it.

Re: Clarko and the Hawks alleged disgusting behaviour.

This appears to be the result of a club operating at the extreme end of the 'professionalism' spectrum. They've behaved like a cult. Stripping players of their phones. Demanding they should have no distractions. Cutting them off from their old lives. Whichever poster said they were sure the coaches...

Re: De Goey offered 5 years from the Pies .

I never really even thought about DeGoey playing for us, we were always a back-up plan, or worse still a leverage tool for his manager to use. I certainly hope we have other tools in the fire, Geelong just won a flag and already have 2 players announce they want to get traded there and take on the B...

Re: Jack Newnes delisted by Blues...

He looked to be made of the right stuff, so to speak, for those first few years. He was even touted as captaincy material. He was a great two runner, neat disposal and appeared cool under pressure. Maybe it was the headknock mentioned earlier, maybe our lack of player development but he then just tu...

Re: Does Gresham hold 1st round trade value??

Every player has a value.
If a team was going to offer a pick in the low teens you'd have to think hard about it.

A pick in the high 20's you'd say no thanks.

What are the match ups between Fremantle forwards and our backs?

It would be nice to just play Wilkie, Battle and Highmore but isnt
Lobb is 207cm, tough match up for them... Although, Joyce looked good the last time i saw him play for Sandy a couple weeks back.
