I am a long time viewer and very occasional poster on this forum and can confirm that the reason I don't post often is because of the exact type of grievances that are being discussed in this thread. Reasonable discussion being derailed by posters who know/think they are right on some point and refu...

Nick didn’t do a shoulder He cracked his collarbone That’s only a 5-6 week injury Question Why is Max King still skinny (baby giraffe as someone said) He’s is in his 5th preseason, he’s been training at Moorabbin since 2018. His lower body is massive - Upper body is skinny as fk He's clearly too sk...

Also, I have stood next to both King boys, Max is broader across the shoulders than I thought he was from watching from afar. Ben (pre knee injury) looked more developed in the upper body and had more bulky arms and chest, which I always thought was a reflection of being able to play in his draft ye...

If wasn’t so tragic you’d laugh I’ve had a shoulder reco, knee and ankle. None are remotely back to what they were and never will be. But the shoulder is shot, cannot bowl fully or throw a cricket ball whatsoever anymore - I got a full reco in 2017 - by the same shoulder specialist orthopaedic surg...

Never have I seen a better mark than Goddards in the GF in the goal square in the GF in the last - right in front of me !!! At that point I thought we had it - BRING HIM DOWN💪 Were you the bloke sitting behind me in the ponsford stand in the bay next to the pies cheersquad, who hugged me when he ma...

...about future contract.... ....prior to the start of Season 22. he was played.. Tough? He* tried to push the club to give him a determination..pre-season by demanding that the club tell him mid-season..(demanding? Asking??) Bassat and co. are seasoned campaigners... They say, 'Sure Brett, whateve...

Sam Weideman or Josh Shache for FA Paddy Dow made a big play Bowes and 7 - should have been in that up to our eyeballs Plenty of Bargains there, which other clubs got And not sure why we couldn’t net a 800k player since Hannebery retired? Fkn hopeless So I presume these players wanted to come to th...

So the Premier’s first pick is now before ours. Ridiculous. They will have aded 4 FRDPs at the end of the season Bowes Pick 7 Bruhn Henry Outrageous. Unfortunately there won't be any accountability to dodgy land deals or Cotton On franchises offered to partners and families. They have it sewn up. W...

This isn’t a criminal matter though - the reference to a VIS, is an example of something that is tailored for a specific purpose like how the report about the Hawthorn was addressing a specific question/criteria. There’s a big difference between the report/investigation completed, it being publishe...

And not 1 word on the fact that Clarkson/Fagan hasn’t even been provided a copy of the report let alone any ability to share their side of the story???? The ‘mob’ has already adjudicated it would seem They’re are both racist redneck control freaks - it’s Adam Bandt Kangaroo court Shyte We live in d...

It's very good money . 850 for Hill or Bowes is farking stupid .. You do realize that media rights deals and revenue basically dictate what the players will get paid? You can’t be making hundreds of millions of dollars and then pay the reason people watch the game a fraction of a percent of what th...

I’m also not sure that recruiting a mediocre player and paying him a s**tload of money is going to do a lot for the morale of the current list. My instincts tell me that we might be better off out of it. The other aspect of this peculiar offering from the GCS that no one seems to be questioning is ...

Guy having a crack..what do we make of this . https://youtu.be/RNiTbA2hnsY Seriously? Coops heart may be in the right place, but his Facebook ‘news’ page is just claims of exclusives that aren’t and clickbait videos like this. He has no idea if the saints made any overtures to players and seems to ...

Do people really believe we would get Bowes and pick 7 for nothing? Just pay his salary. It is their part of the 'package'. It is what GC will give up and the other half of the equation is what we would have to give up. We can include Long as part of the deal but then they will probably want our pi...

Why would they pay a dud over $500K? a season. The club could renegotiate the deal and stretch it out. And why the f*** wouldn’t we want to grab pick 7 as a bonus,,seriously!!! Get Geoff Walsh in now FFS Why would Bowes agree to stretch out the contract? He agreed to the terms that back ended the c...

Fringe player in a bad team? So, like Long? I don’t care about Bowes (who has a 1M contract for two seasons) I care about the FRDP to make up for Clark - who ironically was pick 7 I’d actually offer Bowes 4 years and spread his money 1.6 over 4 But it seems that it isn’t $1million over 2, it’s $1.6...

It’s not one player you get! Bowes is NOT worth 550k But Bowes and pick 7 for 700k definitely is It is a massive no brainer imo and so obvious it’s hilarious But there are ZERO brains at Moorabbin StK is a basket case What if it’s $825- $850k a year for Bowes as Jon Ralph is reporting, then it’s $1...

After all the posts about wasted money and paying too much for hannebury and hill, people now want to pay $850k to Jack Bowes for the next two years because it comes with pick 7, who we then also have to pay? From what I remember about seeing bowes in the past few years, he is an ok player, nothing ...

From memory the main reason most players take part in the sprint is to get a couple of extra tickets to the game for friends or family. I think it used to be the rule that all afl listed players get a ticket to the grand final but if you take part in something like the sprint, or the retiring player...

The assumption of guilt in this thread by ALLEGATIONS is interesting Everyone makes judgements based on the information that they have at hand. That is basically what every news story is, providing information from whatever sources they have. Hawthorn themselves have said it is disturbing what has ...
