It's the AFL/club inconsistency that is so galling.
Andrew Krakouer found guilty in June 2008 of assault with intent to cause bodily harm, an offence that carries a maximum penalty of 20 years' jail. He was sentenced to four years' jail with a minimum non-parole period of 16 months.
- Brought...
What about when Mark Robinson was chief footy writer and 'expert' on many shows.
The equivalent of asking the expert opinion of a drunk guy at the TAB.
Bewildering.
Butters will cost the world in picks ( if it goes that way). He will demand St Kilda silly money. Nick will automatically want it matched or bettered. Not sustainable.
Much prefer to add young B+ key forward and B+ key backman that we back in to improve.
Very disappointed to have missed on...
Nick would have already earned more than Brody will over his whole career.
Nick could retire now. Brody has 1-2 years max to give himself some level financial security after football.
They are completely different situations.
I would have loved Brody to stay a one club payer. But he's never...
Right now 70% of posts are identifying Simpkin as a B grade player who we don't need / has little value.
If we end up bringing him in, 70% of posts will be saying what an important role he can play in our midfield and that he has potential to reach A grade under McCrae.
People talk of B grade...
DC had a great year.
It's just unfortunate that over 3 seasons Nick Daicos could've had 3 Brownlows + 3 Copeland yet has nothing. His award recognition thus far does not remotely come close to reflecting his career.
* Edit - forgot he won last year
Are you sure?
On the ch9 news cross tonight I thought I saw Bobby there on a signing table. He was in the distance so I could have been mistaken but I thought it was him.
The posts above mine were debating DM's status as a superstar. I was giving my opinion like anyone else.
If you don't want to get into a slanging match, just don't reply.
Darcy Moore is a good player, who has mix of great and poor games and moments within games. He is far from a superstar. He...
If one great game a season makes as 'Superstar' that's the very low bar I was referring to.
If Moore is a Superstar what category do you give to N Daicos, Bont, H Andrews, Gawn? Surely you're not suggesting he is at their level?
Last night on SEN Gerard Healy was saying the Geelong Dr said Stewart was subbed due to contact to the neck, not necessarily concussion protocols..
Had anyone heard an update to this?
Healy thought they'd find a way to play him in the GF
Both were playing regularly up until the GF (when fit) , adhering to team standards, turning up to all training sessions / recovery. They did everything in their power to be picked for the GF. Noble in particular can feel rightly upset at being overlooked. Adams was just unlucky due to injury...
Sometimes it appears so simple.
If we can bring the same level of pressure that we did in Adelaide (for just 2 more weeks), we almost certainly take Flag17.
It sounds so easy, any player despite their attributes can bring the pressure.
But as we know it doesn't happen every week.
