No colder than a typical winter's day in Chicago.
Do yourself a favour if/when u see him and ask if the club put him on the trade table at the end of 2017, he isn’t hard to find if you spend any time in Geelong. You can then argue the debate from there who was right and wrong.
Don’t take my word for it coz no one does but get it from the horses mouth, he is more than happy to answer that question.
2 years after a flag and players are apparently stale, lol. Some people will believe anything.
The fact he was fat and partying too much was part of the issue you would think too.
Jake was no scape goat. Argue all you want about Dahl, but Jake leaving was 100% his own faultLol fat?
Everyone bagging about Lukey when his stats in 2017 where nearly the same as the are this year at the Cats but like Jake we picked some easy targets and made them the scape goat for the clubs performance.
How you think Jordan, Luke and Jake feel now looking at how we are going ? Think they would quietly be pretty pleased.
Do me a favour and tell me the last best 22 player that felt stale at the Hawks?

Dont be cryptic. If you have spoken to him directly tell us what it is that he said was the true cause for the club to put him up for trade 12 months after a flag. Id be fascinated and quite happily take you word for what it is that he has told you as it would go a long way to explaining why he has felt the need to say otherwise when he has no reason to. If you dont want to do that publicly feel free to PM me and I will assure you that I will keep whatever you tell me in confidence.
Until the time that you do give us this insight and because I dont have an inclination to go looking for him in Geelong to find out for myself. I think what I will do instead is that I will take at face value his own words when he has discussed the issue of his departure publicly “It's really hard to put your finger on it, but honestly, just mentally I was pretty cooked, I think. I didn’t have much left in the tank. It was just as simple as making a change, and I was pretty lucky to come back home." So, I think I'll take his actual words over your patented brand of apocryphal ********* if you don't mind.
The club has been a train wreck on and off the field since the premiership, but if you think that a number of players many of whom have been excised from the club aren't just as responsible then it is you who I would suggest is the one living in "dreamland."
Unable to send you a PM

DOCKERS TO HAVE ‘MASSIVE CRACK’ AT WA DOG
Western Bulldogs ruckman Tim English has been earmarked as a player of the future.
But whether or not he’ll play his best footy at Whitten Oval is up for debate.
According to Fox Footy senior AFL reporter Tom Morris, Fremantle is keen to secure the West Australian native, despite English still having a year to run on his contract.
“He’s signed until the end of next year and the Bulldogs really rate him,” Morris told On The Couch.
“But I think Freo is going to have a massive crack at getting him at the end of this year.”
The Dockers have had the luxury of Aaron Sandilands leading their ruck charges for more than a decade, but the 36-year-old hasn’t featured at all in 2019.
Rory Lobb has been shouldering the load, while 20-year-old Sean Darcy is also highly rated.
But luring English back home to Perth could ensure Fremantle has another generational ruckman
At least with Naughton, he was originally Victorian and only spent his later teenage years in WA. Pretty sure after he was drafted, his whole family moved back to Victoria, so I doubt there's really any go-home factor for him anymore.With English, for as long as he plays for a Victorian team, we're going to have to put up with reports about the WA clubs every year. Same deal with Naughton.
I think English has a girlfriend who is originally from Sydney and is now playing netball for the Melbourne Vixens, so hopefully that will lessen any pull as time goes on.At least with Naughton, he was originally Victorian and only spent his later teenage years in WA.

English is the one I'd be concerned about
There's a joke in there somewhereI think English has a girlfriend who is originally from Sydney and is now playing netball for the Melbourne Vixens, so hopefully that will lessen any pull as time goes on.
No issues from either side with that."I knew that with players and coaches around me that believed in me then I would be able to get out there and play some good footy."
This is the line that stood out for me in the Roughead article. Seems support within the club was lacking and a decision had been made on his future. Sad if true and i would hope the coaches learn from this and continue to give players support while those players are on the list.
