fancy that.....


like putting a bull into a field of heifers and telling it to take it easy.....

 

[itchyscratch]

Still having health issues and can’t play? Big ten year contract incoming.

Seriously? Sending an AFL footballer carrying a nagging injury out on the field with the message just go soft. This has to be a pi55 take.

amateur hour meets groundhog day!

Gender reassignment surgery so he can play for our girls is bit much.

POTY early nomination.

Starting to think it doesn't matter what they do with Warlord. Maybe we all need to come to the realization, that GW is heading down the same path as Nathan Freeman

from Saints. Absolute gun, but couldn't get over the hamstring issues. I hope I'm proven wrong, but this is how I see him ending up.

Maybe, I really hope you’re wrong.

At the same time I wonder how he feels about Clarkos throwing him under the bus like that.

And the fact he’s not signed.

It’s fine though; I’m assured of this.

You could ask a lot of our players to go half pace. Hell, they will without even asking.

GW is not one of them.

 

[Outtatym]

For Clarkos sake, I hope he said that to the rest of the squad as well. Might explain whatever the hell Friday arvo was.

FMD

Clarko might have dementia and told the wrong players to just roll around? They followed instructions to a tee.

This was a truly batshit insane decision in a long line of batshit insane decisions.

 

[speedy]

I think I finally understand how the men’s pathetic regime and the women’s trail blazing regime can exist under the same roof.

They both receive the equal amount of resources. The problem is the men’s team isn’t a barely semi-professional sport but we are treating it like one.

The AFL has a "crack" integrity unit who's job it is to investigate dick pick.

Some things never cease to amaze me!

The AFL and integrity are two different worlds

Watching him go through his paces you have to remind yourself he's injured and just about cooked.
