You seem to have answered your own question SP

Maybe he's planning on a dozen kids.

As I see it, taking on players like this is simply a lottery, irrespective of reputation, age etc.
Give me a list of all those we have bought who have turned out to be champions or at least worthwhile.

If it had happened to an Essendon,Collingwood player it would have been headline news for months.

NO! And I live there

Both guys can justifiably lay equal claim to any success we have in the near future, and conversely deny any part of failure to perform

Looks like The Filth scoop the cream--again!

Your best post yet JB-- and Ive had to wait all these years for it!

A bit grudging with your praise there mate!

Sorry, replace Baker with King

If one can believe the media Blake is "shattered" to be dropped by Geelong for the GF after 22 games this season. Not sure that the Cats have done the wrong thing by themselves because King was just fair against the Pies ( The Cats really motored on every time Ottens came back on) but we a...

I thought that this year X-Man showed signs of turning on his bets form. The offer is a wise one, both for the Club and him. I fail to see the connection between his father's condition and the contract though unless it means he would want to be released if the old chap does not pull through.

My daughter will go into mourning.
As for me I applaud his devotion to the club but for the last two seasons have had a gut feeling he would not return without injury.
Came from my former home town Canberra

Did not have a big enough heart for AFL

We lost Smithy to the Awks because we could not look after him.
So if Goose goes the same way the old saying that lightning never strikes in the same place twice will go out the window as well. And both had severe leg injuries.

All I hope for is to see two Vic teams in the GF.
You can blame me for saying that on more than 70 years of faithful support of what used to be the VFL.
Go Saints!!!

[quote="Marchin' In"]With West Coast being knocked out tonight, 4 of the remaining 5 clubs in the competition are Victorian-based. This year is set to be the end of interstate dominance stretching back to 2001. But...who would have thought 2 years ago that it wouldn't involve us? I am quit...

Three years according to a text message from the club just received

We lose Kozzi we lose years to get back to where we are and the opportunity to move to the top. But there are still gaps to be filled. There are no ready made goalkickers (other than Fev who we do NOT want) so we should start with Kozzi doing his dual role and aim for another ruckman like Jolly (if ...

Kozzi speaks very highly of him; says he has given him a lot of helpful tips and tactics at training

Tracy Grimshaw is not the fervent. outspoken supporter she used to be. Maybe the Swines have pinched her too!

I noted at the time that Cousins was rather quiet for the first half of the game. Would like to watch it again.

Blind Freddie reckons we need the Filth to knock off the Crows on Friday, and for us to kill the Tiges. So the question arises, if Rocca is pinged will that help? I reckon he will get off. Having looked at the incident several times it looks as though he pulled his hand back immediately after contac...

Raph passed muster for me last night. He is agonisingly slow in disposal at times but this could be largely due to the lack of leads from team mates- one of our major faults. At least he delivers with fair accuracy which is mpore than some others (Gram, L Fisher) do on occasions. And why does the la...

MF would not be the first to be bagged (on what virtually was) a debut. It was a red hot scenario for him. Maybe he will rise above it and give the value that some of you have seen at Casey but for me he was a passenger last night.
