    Goo Trent Cotchin retires, the equal most successful captain of the modern era.

    This is a preemptive strike. He is baiting ‘trolls’ by throwing out an exaggeration that will get people replying ‘bUt mIcHeAl VoSs/LuKe HoDge!!!!!!1’ He can then push back on what he’s called the ‘usual suspects’ and enjoy a bit of classic BigFooty back and forth, that we know and love.

    Think Tank Ben Cousins - is he remembered more as an Eagle or Tiger?

    Seriously? 😅

    Moved Thread The Meteoric Rise of the 30+yo Footballer

    It’s part of it no doubt - but the stats quoted show a steep increase in the last 10 years also, during which time players have been fully professional. It be any single factor obviously.

    Moved Thread The Meteoric Rise of the 30+yo Footballer

    Another thought - the ability to manage and basically carry great players who haven’t been playing much in recent years. Look west for 2 great examples: Luke Shuey and Nat Fyfe. Both have had long periods of their career impacted by injury. Both had good runs in their peak but the last 2-3...

    Moved Thread The Meteoric Rise of the 30+yo Footballer

    Players injuries and training loads are managed better than ever. Hamstrings used to be 2 weeks off and back to it - now you’re looking at 3-4 weeks before you are back at ‘full load’ (at least). Even longer for recurring injury. The best players (150 games+) play for longer too because there...

    They are nothing alike, Jack never wears long sleeves.

    Certified Legendary Thread Ward is a diving disgrace

    Honestly felt like the kick was there to be awarded... Those ‘Death Threats!’ aren’t really death threats though are they, they are just melty Bomber fans (probably post on here!), having a bit of sook. Dickheads gunna Dickhead....

    Evicted from a ground

    Not to actively encourage you not to bring a whole load of rubber duckies to a game....but I think an old style ‘duck call’ would probably be far more audible then some mild squeaking. Also could improve your chances of getting kicked out too. :)

    Moved Thread Players that are severely overrated by their own supporters

    Wayne > Mariah > Drew > Stefan I'd even take Jim ahead of Stefan and he's technically a Carrey. That's how over rated Stefan is.

    Moved Thread Players that are severely overrated by their own supporters

    Stefan Carey. No matter what Swans fans say, he'll never eclipse Wayne as the best Carey of the 90s in my book.

    Moved Thread Bulldogs - one of the worst premiership fluke title defences I've seen

    Yep did for sure - not denying that. I didn't say they weren't a pretty good side - they were, but regardless of all that, they were the 7th best performed side over the regular season and hit hot form in the finals. I wouldn't really consider the Eagles of 2016 as a barometer for anyone, with...

    Moved Thread Bulldogs - one of the worst premiership fluke title defences I've seen

    As has been said, they were 7th after the H&A last year and came from nowhere to win it. Stunned everyone....because they really weren't THAT good. They haven't suddenly become an unbeatable side. Stringer for example had his head in the clouds from much of 2016 anyway, his 2017 is no...

    I don't know which is funnier..

    I think the key question is, how many years in the WCE system does it take to undo 4(?) years in the Richmond system?.. WCE were keen on him back when he was drafted, probably just see this as a free shot to see if he can show something..
