No sir you were not. Kid never closes his goddamn mouth! It's super strange.
It's like when you cop a knock to the jaw and you kinda make yawning movements to stretch it out - he's seems to be always doing that. Weirdo.

"Melbourne had drawn within 12 points midway through the third quarter and messed up some chances (or was unfortunate not to draw a free kick at times inside 50 in the third quarter depending on your outlook) that would have enabled it to really challenge the Eagles."

Well, if we are truly going to analyse my tongue in cheek comment, in addition to your point ...The players refuse to sign and due to not being shown any faith by the club request a trade elsewhere?...
He is in uis final year of a 3 year contract. Simpson stated on an interview that he liked the idea of giving hom a 1 year contract as hr had responded well to it this year. Suggest there was tongue in cheek about t he response. He said it probably suited Hill as well.Well, if we are truly going to analyse my tongue in cheek comment, in addition to your point ...
That said, does anyone know what the status of Wellingham's contract is?
- List management becomes a nightmare. Have a good year and every one wants overs, and we can't afford them all ... Have a bad year and the team still gets paid a certain percentage of the salary cap, creating unrealistic expectations of value when the next good year comes around again.
- Injuries wreck a players performance (similar to the situation with Wellingham first season with us). It is unrealistic to value a player on the one year alone.
- Logistically managing contract negotiations with 35-40 players each year would be a nightmare. Would be hard enough with 15-20 (or whatever the case may be in any one year).
- While some players no doubt step up in light of needing a new contract, many players may also find it weighs them down. The frailty of the human psyche means that one size does not fit all.
We will need him I think come finals time when the intensity lifts .....plus if he gets game fit and we have Duggan and rosa in same place ....as in match fit then we have choices ...
We need to trust the match committee and coaching staff ...we are 9-3 ...I think they know what they are doing
I couldn't believe this either. Supposedly unbiased report? I mean to complain about the umpiring when there were so many free kicks missed - especially when the Melbourne player kicked it deliberately out of bounds and not only did the umpire not award a free kick but from the boundary throw in Melbourne got a goal.
The commentary was simply appalling and borderline unprofessional. I think most Victorians are so stupid that they can't understand it is a national game and if it wasn't for all the non-Victorian teams, their VFL would be a minor competition and struggling to stay afloat.
Positive
In Simpson's interview - he went on record to say that Scooter had been off and it was a drop to sub for poor performance

This! Makes me a lot more confident that Simmo will drop him if he keeps failing. And after that performance as sub, with so many solid players available, you'd think he's run out of chances.
Membrey for me

For the vic market. I like to go under the radar so we should not complain.I couldn't believe this either. Supposedly unbiased report?

Came on as the sub. The AFL are pushing his barrow because he is a shortarse and they want to show it as a game for all sized (but preferably be over 185 cm and 190 is even better)Wasn't there a lot of wank for that Daniels bloke from the bulldogs ?
I don't walk away from that game overly happy - felt like we were out hunted and out worked at the contested ball.
The score looks good because we were efficient as hell going inside 50 - however some of our frailties got shown up IMO
Hopefully the early goals in the last meant we didn't completely exhaust ourselves for the game and can back up ok against Adelaide
