Bullfrog posters getting all bent out shape on their board about this comment and wishing the death of our club.

Lol I think the poster that melted over that comment doesn't understand the meaning of 'charges dropped.'

Edit: But what is wrong with them? I mean, we're similar sized clubs, but some of their fans seem to have some really weird inferiority complex when it comes to us. I know that we've got the significantly more prestigious history, but surely that alone doesn't account for it and their pathetic desire to copy almost everything we do. I mean, come on, get your own ideas! They may as well just go ahead and change to vertical stripes and remove the red from their jumper.

I'm not sure but it might have something to do with the fact that we have been and always will be a better club. Just a theory though.

 

[Heaps of fun]

All in all a good outcome for the club. Charges gone and Trent can remember how the club stuck with him through what was probably a shitty time in his life.

 

[year of the roo]

Moral of the thread: use uber.

 

[tazaa]

Lol the judge is questioning how this made it to trial.
Also quoted that this should have been thrown out two years ago.

Just how backwards is Adelaide?

Backwards. When I went to the Final I was yelled at the Milk Bar because I wanted a bottle of water inside a shop that was closed that was still open...and I mean door open.

Even after a premiership they still have little brother syndrome....

I read the other day on Twatter that Cooney was asked to hand over $35 dollars up front from a cabbie last week and got out and grabbed an Uber instead which costed him $12 .

 

[Scottroo]

Apparently this cost the sa taxpayers over 200k!!!!!

 

[tales129]

sa government is ****ed lads,

Just backwards old pelicans. The sooner the youth take over here the better, unless they've been taught by said useless old backwards pelicans. Then they just end up supporting the crows

Yeah Chief Justice Harold Dumont is a gun.

Trent "Smash and Grab" Dumont according to the AFL Prospectus was our second best kick among midfielders last year after Daniel Wells. Plus and I quote "when kicking inside 50 his kick rating was the fourth-highest rating of the top-110 kicks inside 50, leading to 1.5 score assists per game - an elite rating for a midfielder."

 

[LuvtheKangas]

If I remember correctly he also accused a NMFC official of criminal behaviour on Bay 13. When it was pointed out to him and the administration the potential ramifications of the allegations, his post was amended and the thread locked.

Nah, that was gogriff. I don't think they're the same person.

gogriff shat his pants when I and others pointed out the slander ramifications of the statements he made (about Cam Joyce, from memory). His first line of defense was "it's not slander if you believe it". Then was conspicuously silent for a while after I pointed out the actual quote is "it's not slander if it's true". He then contacted the mods to get the thread deleted.

 

[Saintly35]

Will be a big weight off his mind now court case is over.

Could be a big improver, hope gets consistent games in the middle rather than the in and out crap.

He and Cunners should be our inside mids, Swallow also if form warrants it.

Nice to see some stats back up what I've been saying about Froggy. He makes his disposals count and gets in good positions.

It's a shame that there's no obvious way to get him more inside time, as his kicking inside 50 is an absolute weapon. Had about four pristine I50s in the final against Adelaide, including the kick late to Petrie that anybody even remotely mobile would have got to for an uncontested mark.

In the training vision it looks like he has slimmed down. I wonder if the plan is to have him take over the Daniel Wells inside/outside role.

Let's not dance around it; the obvious way was trading Swallow. Wouldn't have looked good to let a former captain go but it's also not a good look to let one get demoted to the seconds or worse play one to the detriment of the team and younger, more talented players.
It looks like Andrew will end his career a one club player which I am very happy about because he has been a shining light for our midfield in our worst years since the 80s. Though I can't help but think we've had the midfield mix wrong for a few years now and stiffled the development of a couple of careers. Think Trent's court case will mean he will stay loyal to us but up to this point you couldn't have begrudged him to leave for more opportunity because he is on 20 games right now when I think he could have played close to twice as many at another club.

There is absolutely no club that would've taken him. None. Not in real life. Not in AFL Live video games.

Do you know if we shopped him around?

Nope. Very confident in not needing to.

Nope. Very confident in not needing to.

So you think no other club would have wanted him but happy we kept him?

but, but, but we got in 2 prelims, must have got something right?
