I was more talking about the newbies name Kildonan...most of us old-timers know who "Nick" is, and almost everyone knows who NeXus Helen was...combining the 2 is just pouring fuel on the fire

I understand where you are coming from. NeXus_Helen was permabanned from this forum and found a new home at Saintsational. Recently NeXus Nick has returned here and I engaged in a private message that as long as the posting behaviour is good, NeXus Nick can continue to exist and contribute to the forum. We encourage a multicultural / broad range of posters / opinions. All opinions are valid and when presented on the board are available to criticised or praised based on the merit of the idea, not the person presenting them. Only when the presenter gets irrational, obsessive, offensive or repetitive do the mods and other posters intervene.

Buddy leaving them was the absolute best thing that could have happened to them. Freed up a truckload of cap space and they are a much more balanced team because of it.

FWIW, I heard the exact rumour BrianSpeaking threw out their about Buddy at a GF party yesterday. The source was from a bloke who works in footy and is mates with Dan Hannebury. The same bloke told me that the Bombers were on drugs months before it broke in the media and has a good track record.

Apparently, Sydney are exploring all options on what the next steps are. It is becoming a real possibility that Buddy may not play AFL again and this is Sydney's preferred outcome. Sydney are considering looking at an agreed payout for Buddy to retire and are working through the salary cap ramifications with the AFL.

Again, this is just 1 option being explored. If this does eventuate the AFL will do everything possible to help Sydney out. They can't have their pet plummeting down the ladder, the club would fold.

Also, I am not for a second suggesting that the depression is made up. Just that there might be more going on here, and the mail Brian had was IMO spot on. Will be interesting to see how this unfolds......

I'll bite, my best impersonation of being insulting to match an insulting post;

What has Boyd done? Not emulated an Eagles player and been played juiced up.
And why is a backman any less important than a forward? They're not, you're just looking for an argument and putting words in my text because "you dun goofed".

Lake; end of his career chased a premiership.
Frawley; Third string defender in Melbourne, no brainer to chase a premiership and success at the Hawks for similar coin.
Buddy; Prodigious talent, multiple time coleman medalist, AA, club leading goal kicker, and Hawks B&F winner.
Tippett; Underperformed, twice lead his respective clubs in goal kicking, rising star nominee.

What has Boyd done? In 2-3 years when he's 24, may be the spearhead in a Dogs premiership team, he's still in the "potential" stage of his career, and only a completely and total incompetent will completely and totally write him off. Welcome to the club is what I would be saying if I were a member!

Really you should watch more football and less soccer (see what I did there? Language!) and notice that AFL these days is a lot like chess with pieces working in conjunction with others to create a co-operative defense whereby multiple players a can impact multiple contests due to the restrictions of space contained in an AFL ground. Gone are the days where Lockett will burst clear of SOS, SOS will close the gap, Plugger will stick his arse out and clutch it and the public will remark at how brilliant it is, here are the days where Plugger will try, his arm will be chopped, he'll be bodied under the ball and one bloke will come over the top and another bloke will in front of him drifting across to take front possie. You, being the type to only look at a single person in this scenario will say what great job SOS did at stopping Plugger and he should be given a commendation of valour for his effort, the rest of us will look at that contest and remark that Plugger killed the contest amongst three blokes and was a beast as the resulting kick out went straight to one of our free men.

Reality is, your betters are talking about football, hush up unless you have something less insulting to add to the conversation instead of completely misrepresenting posts because you feel like you have to.



I wonder if in the process of intending to keep pick 5 we're planning to wedge out a current mid, and recent history would show there was interest in Armo, and given his start of the season that interest may have increased to a first rounder between 10 and 15. If we're keeping 5 to pick a mid, keeping Ross, it'd fit with the McEvoy & Stanley trades that we'd say "thanks, but we're taking the pick", and dub Newnes appointed next captain.

IF it happens, and we trade out an established mid or unexpected player to draft in another mid, gotta say, would like the minimal ruthlessness of the club.

Much like the kid who grew up in the rough neighbourhood where you kill or get killed, Joffa comes from SS and like some of us, will take a while to get it out of his system... usually 12 - 18 months. ;):p:D
