Getting ugly, lol

Zach Merrett is the Bombers Captain, heart and soul, the only one who cares and will win the Crichton Medal by the length of the Flemington Straight. They let him go, they will finish bottom four for the next decade.

Getting ugly, lol

That drug scandal really f*d that club up didn't it! They have been absolute garbage ever since. It's bloody great to watch. Bombers were as big as Collingwood back in the 80s and 90s. Huge club. It's like when Sheedy got the boot it all went to s* for them. Maybe it's their Norm Smith curse?

Agreed. Feel sorry for the players who got caught up in that supplements scandal but the fallout for the club itself is delightful.

Pick 11 for out of contract Mcvee (and AMW to come back)

Would have to consider it. Try squeeze Reidy in the process.

Use the pick on a tall forward like Ah-Mu or the best small forward available.

"Definitely up on the table": WA club willing to trade out of first round

The club is reportedly targeting an out-of-contract Demon who grew up in the state.

We ain't getting pick 11 for Judd McVee lol what a fantasy world you live in

Don’t shoot the messenger.

Noting it would probably end up like pick 14-15 after all the trash before it.(and Lamb also throwing in every 2nd and 3rd rounder he can get his hands on).

 

[Bluelegs]

Just a vibe but reckon mcvee stays.

 

[MarcMaverick]

So McVee McStays? Wait wrong player NVM.

 

[I Love Lamb]

Just a vibe but reckon mcvee stays.

Think so to, considering his misso is from Melb, and that he is best 22.

Topkent has always said that, every season, a few best-22 players move from one Victorian club to another (not sure about the stats on this - perhaps 'kent is telling some BIG PORKY PIES).

You're forgetting that all the exceptions were highly unique circumstances that don't apply here.

 

[Topkent]

Has he moved yet?

I've never seen Topkent and Bluelegs fight like that.

I'm worried that this posturing and saber rattling could lead to a posting strike.

 

[Bluelegs]

I'm worked

Oh dear.

 

[Headless]

Oh dear.

Completely ruined what otherwise would have been a hilarious post.

 

[Proper Gander]

When prospecting, you might turn over a few tin cans before finding gold.

Only if, for some reason, you are prospecting for gold in a recycling plant

All the best!

So long

I hope McVee stays, he had a horrible injury run this year and we would be getting way unders for him which is why so many clubs are sniffing around - they know it too. Being a terrible draft just makes it all the worse.

 

[Sir Hugh Percy]

Nah, take a detector out there and see how you go.

He could have said 52 cans, 227 bottle caps, 398 ring pulls, 514 nails and 2314 lead shot.

 

[Lampers]

Sam Flanders first genuine purple patch coincided with King taking over the reigns at Gold Coast.

7 games where Flanders averaged 30 disposals and kicked three goals presumably from the midfield.

Looks like King rates Flanders so the appointment can’t hurt the chances of attracting Flanders.

It doesn't have to be bad.... future picks are a thing GS.

Most prospectors aren't too savvy.

If they find a can, or jam jar lid, or a nail, they usually just throw it back away....... for the next time, or the next mug.
