I agree with Teflon, and it will probably be the case. So many of us have much bigger problems and his
stupididy in sacrificing a lucrative playing contract offends me. I hope it offends others

His decision was pathetic, when people succumb to pathetic decisions, they get pathetic results. He will never be a premiership player. He will never be a 1 club player. Another very good footballer with both limited morals and even more limited intelligence. When ones goes to the footy for 3 hours ...

Hi Guys, I was recently having a look at past work I have done and and found an article I had written about the demise of Fitzroy in 1996 and what it meant for so many. I interviewed past players, big supporters, and the Fitzroy historian. I was just thinking today, how lucky we are to still have a ...

Yeah look I agree with you plugger66, but not if it as close to a 50-50 deal as can be negotiated. If we are to be walked over we should either convince Cripps
to stay or send him into the pre-season draft then if no other club takes him (which they will), we re-draft him

Cripps needs to be a man and play for the club that drafted him

What is with this pathetic 'mommys boy' go home culture that seems to happen now? 1st round pick, just starting to secure his place in the seniors and wants to go home. But he doesn't just want to go home to Perth. He wants to go home to Perth but only to the Eagles. Pathetic. Beyond pathetic. Now w...

Without doubt everyone will make out over the summer that he will be the 'breakout' player in 2013 for us, and I hope this will happen. The club need to manage this expectation really carefully. He is the next poster boy for our club - after rooey- all and sundry know this. I hope the club is carefu...

yeah one would hope

I have a good source who says they are 10-20k apart with also a few other indorsement contracts not quite there.
But the general view is pretty much we'lll be cool. A good source, but really like most of this, take it with a grain of salt
because we all know how these things can change

Reminds me of Taylor Walker

Mileara will definitely be in this week, after his great performance for sandy

Hi everyone, just been thinking about how Blakes season plays out. Coming into this year I was certain Blake would retire at seasons' end, however his form has been fantastic this year- as we all know. Now lets say we miss the finals, does Blakey announce his retirement and we have a farewell game o...

ralphsmith- bloody great post, they have had their players' meeting today, 'we will turn it around', it is all on this week. Makes me sick, and I really hope our group understand and embrace that from every aspect. An integral point, if we happen to win this week it will be all about how disappointi...

No, it is completely inapropriate. Bullcrap AFL graduer

That story about Robbie Muir had me in stitches!

I for one am really impressed with our rookies. Having watched the Zebras quite regularly over the last few years, I have been very buoyed, much moreso than previous years, about the fitness and performance of our rookies. I know it is early but Dunell will be a very good footballer at AFL level- if...

Nothing like an Easter Sunday exhumation!

same as previous years, 18 named on the field are in the team

Just want thoughts on this. Clint Jones' disposal has become a greater issue in the pre-season, his display in the Collingwood praccy match was terrible. I actually rated Polo's 2011, he was more servicable than I had imagined. However, there is a common view that he is at best a depth player for 20...

I don't care if it is a praccy match. Pull you're socks up Goddard! Deefriggenscrasful

Also went down, and I won't do a big report but I must agree, was very impressed with our younger brigade but thought that Sam Fisher was clearly the best player on the ground. But I am building some left-field excitement about young rookie Cam Shenton. Mark this down, he will play over 100 games fo...

Tonight at 6 Perth time, should be streaming live

I am the biggest fan of what has happened at our club since Scotty took over, and I love the idea and execution of the ad, but the membership catchline is terrible, 'draw a line in the sand'. I know the beach area from Port Melb to Frankston is our target mebership area. I also understand that we ar...

My point was that he is an aboriginal player who has not been in any structured afl pathway, which creates masssive ajustments as it is. He may be 195cm's but certainly he has never really played that height in the Darwin comp. A tall fast kid, not someone who has been battered to hell at CHF all da...

It is not a great last name, but he is the absolute unknown of the draft. Looking at some of the phantoms they having him going from 9 to 45. Obviously us drafting Saad and Milaera is probably an indication that we have covered that type of player, but do you guys think we may look at him if availab...
