Traded #27: Jonathan Giles - Traded to The West Coast with pick 62 for pick 57

You say that our best structure is best with 1 ruck when the evidence disagrees.

Just face it, you're wrong.

Continue to compare rucks of different ability to make yourself feel good - Reckon if you put our current rucks back to the past the results would be different.

Strangest thing is that Ryder and Hille are better performed than Giles/Mckernan and TBell.

What is Hille up to these days?

It's quite funny really how things have turned out actually. I remember their were constant calls for Hille to be dropped despite him playing relatively good football most of the time. He was prone to playing a shocker every now and then but he was the most consistent ruck we had.

What is Hille up to these days?

Not playing football at all apparently and has no interest in it.

Doss?

He's just disappeared, haven't heard anything from him since the day he retired.
I wished so badly he got to 200 games. Deserved it so much. He and Stanton I wanted Premierships for so much.

... has to play this weekend. (third time is a charm).

Media reporting Big John is in for Doggies match..

Congratulations big fella...

The big man is in advertising/media these days. Check out the photo, wouldn't recognise him if the article didn't specifically mention his name.

Why has he got woodwork goggles on, if he is in advertising?

Because he is in advertising.

He's just trying to follow in the footsteps of his mentor.

Because he is in advertising.

Real irony in his selection.

Hird is all about rewarding 'form'.

His last VFL game was about the worst he has played since the NAB cup.

His last was OK, but I agree, would of been much more logical to play him last week after his performance.

I suspect McKernan wanted a rest. He's been copping it from all angles- fans, opp fans, media & ruckman. Feel for him.

McKernan has not been bad either he's simply out of his weight division as a number 1 ruck. Works harder than almost anyone. Should have been rewarded with the opportunity to play KPF.

KPF while giving some relief in ruck would be the ideal. He's not a ruckman.

You forgot umpires

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

Go get them big fella.

 

[Bombers36]

Hope he proves a point today and rucks well plus a couple of goals would be handy....

 

[DapperJong]

I hope he gets another 3 brownlow votes

 

[Rack Watts]

Hope he murders it today.
