New deal is in the works

Super happy by this news. Has the body of a year 9 gymnastics student.

The recruit a couple weeks back showed us out good that could be!

His injury plagued year has been my biggest disappointment of 2014.

Dalgleish for mine... thought he would've been best 22 cemented by this point.

Gleeson could be a surpise pick for this weeks game. May start as the sub also.

If he plays the final two games I'd back him to get a RS nomination. Are there any other players who are due one?

part of me wants him to stay under 10 games going into next year. That same part would then back him for the rising star in 2015

Rules are 10 or fewer I believe, hes only played 7 and as he isn't playing this week we'd need to make it to the semi finals with him playing everygame from now on to ruin eligibility for 2015. If we make it that far the last thing I'm going to worry about is RS winners!

Turns 20 tomorrow

Thoughts on return to seniors this year? We could use his run and carry if preperation is there.

Turns 20 tomorrow

Same day that Hird returns. Hird again making it all about himself.

Needs more Doc (Reid).

We haven't looked as good since he went out... hopefully it's something talismanic. Which isn't a word, but too bad.

Pretty sure it's a word.. and yes, hopefully it is.

 

[Lord Nicholson]

Oh, well, it is then. So be it. Stupid red underline nonsense.

Role? The cyborg. His role is undefinable because, as a cyborg, he has supernatural powers and NOTHING is impossible.

~ 4 Moonshines ago, you said his debut year has been better than Heppells.

It doesn't feel pity or remorse and it absolutely will not stop.

I actually said Gleeson's long term injury has been my biggest disappointment for 2014.

 

[daz17]

Thinking either Gleeson or Merrett will be sub.
Sucks as I wish both could have a full game.

Gleeson is a talismaniac.
