Unlike ours, Freo's players have tended to keep performing after they hit 30.

How many of our premiership side were already retired before they were 30-31?

Dean Cox and Glass played some of their best footy in 2011-2012 and parts of 2013 when they were 30+. Even embers in 2011 was playing some quality football.

Cox and Glass were still 29 a couple of months into the 2011 season, but I get your point. Still think they dropped away quicker than a lot of champion players do (including those from non-Victorian sides).

Guys like Selwood (now 30), Fletcher (now 34) and Stenglein (now 34) were already shadows of themselves before they were old enough to excuse it.

Braun and Stinger retired at 30. Hunter is now 33, but was knackered at age 27.

Rowan Jones is the same age as Adam Goodes (and also deserved Australian of the Year, for what it's worth).

I'm all for turning over deadwood, but compared to some premiership sides, that seems like an excessive decay

Interesting to see Membrey playing tonight.

I rated him in the draft, has reedonk strong hands and he slid all the way to pick 47 for the Swans in the 2012 draft. Reminded me of Darling alot.

Eventually you think they would want to spend all their extra cash on a chartered jet for travelling. Can give them more space, run the cabin pressures higher. Has to beat flying Virgin over.

Haha. Conca is fat.

He's in a bit of trouble too. Dog act.

Not surprising really, especially after their captain & coach come out & endorse such acts as what we saw last week.

Dog act...s**t club

C'mon GWS!!!

Did I just hear Darcy say that Joel Selwoods ducking is a good tactic? Biggest bunch of hypocrite campaigners.

Other than Gollum, Lindsey Thomas is the biggest flog Muppet in the comp.

 

[Dark Sharks]

So if GCS wins do we finally stop talking about finals or?

On another note, i like the cat's jumpers.

The dominant Navy with white looks great.

Just saw the Conca report, what a gutless prick. I use the term gutless loosely here as he seems to have a pretty big one for an AFL player.

Haha him and Cameron Ling look like they're on the same conditioning program.

On another note, Lindsey Thomas takes more dives than the Royal Australian Navy

Seems to be the culture at Ninthmond, bunch of dog campaigners.

What the hell went through his head? In what world can you think that that's at all acceptable.

Do we go nearest the pin with this one? Has to be 3+ doesn't it?

I'm not a good judge when it comes to all this and I can't really be bothered learning all the points and such.
But if it was me I would give him 7 weeks just for being a gutless campaigner.
Ok maybe I am being a bit harsh, but that was a massive brain fade.

Conca makes Turbo look like an athlete

Does he at least get an extra week for those skin folds?

 

[dajesmac]

Wow thats horrendous from Conca.

 

[dajesmac]

Reckless undoubtedly...

But Jesus thats the sort of thing that should get 5 weeks, * off the accidental head clash s**t. Thats an embarrassment and he deserves to be shamed

Same dude we offered crazy wages for last year
