You were the one who put these on McCartney in your original post This wasn't me putting words in your mouth. In terms of the failed signings the issue isn't that there weren't offers on the table for these guys, that can be backed up by evidence, it's that the offers you claim were on the...

I did do searches to confirm that you were making stuff up. Not sure why you would think that I didn't. All that has happened so far is that you posted: And then when I called this out as being made up. You then provide a link which shows that the reason he rejected the offer was because...

To quote you "Incorrect". The article doesn't say anything of the sort. It says that "Lonergan admitted the turmoil at the Bulldogs [...] played a big part in his decision to stay a Cat" and the author of the article added the "which included captain Ryan Griffen walking out of the club and...

Your first two examples are only half true and the Lonergan deal was not long term (3 years) and fell through because McCartney got fired not because Griffen left (it's well known that Lonergan and McCartney are really close and that was why he was willing to come across). 'm not even sure how...

In 5 years as coach at Carlton he built an uncompetitive side. In what way does he deserve another chance?

7 full seasons I think so he'll be eligible at the end of 2018.

Only players paid in the top 25% on a team are restricted so Redpath will be unrestricted.

Terry Wallace once claimed that "Will Minson's goal-kicking is phenomenal" http://www.abc.net.au/news/2008-04-21/bulldog-lake-accused-of-faking-injury/2410602

Interesting definition of a 10. Kennedy only has 1 Coleman and an average of 2.25 goals per game. Franklin has 3 Colemans at 3.2 goals per game and Jack Riewoldt has 2 Colemans and averages closer to 2.4 a game so I guess it's not out of 10. Given the Kennedy definition I would give Boyd a 10 as...

Maybe the concussion test at Brisbane is still guess the number of fingers I'm holding up?

That was a dirty shot in any era of the game. That would even be illegal in Ice Hockey and they have far more lenient rules for checking. Don't know why the AFL don't make the rule that if you jump into a bump then your charged as if you're going for the head. Would kill this crap almost...

It's not on the banned list or in any of the banned categories so even if they did test for it they couldn't reprimand you for having it in your system

That is only for illicit drugs which aren't otherwise specified. For instance Ice is chemically p-methylamphetamine which is a listed prohibited substance http://list.wada-ama.org/list/s6-stimulants/#p-methylamphetamine The active chemicals in some other recreational drugs also have their own...

My recollection is that back in the day people would use beta blockers for Golf. Not sure what the current drug of choice for Golfers is.

Almost all recreational drugs are performance enhancing for sports. Even Marijuana is performance enhancing for sports like pistol shooting where reducing stress induced shaking is a significant advantage. Almost all have side effects which reduce the benefit but saying that a drug like Cocaine...

Re-signing Buckley last week is rapidly turning in to an expensive mistake.

Macrae is clearly better than more than half the guys you listed in the young mids category. It's sad how often the guy gets overlooked.

Boyd out of those. And Stringer over those two.

Anyone have any indication of what Michael Romero will cost us as a father\son based on performances so far?

Martin was taken before the Hogan pick so we wouldn't have had the chance to make that mistake.

http://www.afl.com.au/match-centre/nab-challenge/2016/1/gws-v-wb has a replay of each quarter in the match videos bit.

http://www.afl.com.au/match-centre/nab-challenge/2016/1/gws-v-wb It shows we are going with 2 less if I'm reading it right.

Damn it's hot outside. At least it's a dry heat not like those horribly humid NT and Cairns games.

I'll buy one. I'd be happy with a similar price to the VFL one but I'm not sure what my limit would be.

I think the walking out on contracts was just the players association and Essendon didn't agree with the players association lawyers. I'd be surprised, given the last three years, if Essendon didn't threaten to take the players to court if they tried to void their contracts. Essendon's...

Article says restricted free agent so they can choose to match any offer.

Hawks in '08 won because all of the other top teams ended up with injury issues. We could get lucky but it won't be because we are the best team this year.

It's a really good surface at Manuka at this time of year, if a little hard, so probably a good one for not causing injuries. The low stands mean that you don't have too much difference across the surface unlike the grounds with big stands where one wing will only get half as much, or less, sun...

Careful, Nathan Ablett was better than Gary as a junior but that didn't exactly pan out.

Which is the direct quote? haven't seen anything in your posts which looks like a direct quote from a book. My main issue with your argument is that it's the same as people use in those "worst ever brownlow medallist" threads and it's just as ridiculous here as it is there. Even if Libba is...
