at least Jerry Jones has put together 3 SB winning teams in his tenure.
To be fair, that was all Jim Johnson's scouting. That was when Jerry was fresh to football and still learning about the game, thus delegating everything to one of the best in the business (johnson).

I hope you are right and believe me i want Chip to pay him and Gore.

Chip Kelly is making Crazy Vossy in his last days at the Lions look like Einstein currently. Yet Jerry Jones is mocked and at least he has put together 3 SB winning teams in his tenure.

Philly giving so much reign to this collegiate goose is really something special i must say.
'Crazy' Vossy would have taken us to the finals in his last year if he hadn't have been fired, I don't know what you mean by his 'last days'

*Prays that Mitch Robinson doesn't bring the same downfall*
Mitch is a good footballer and not over the hill like Fev was when you gave us Hendo for him.

IF Mitch keeps on the straight and narrow he will be a good pick up but the tribunal hate him and i reckon he could kiss a bloke and get 3 weeks!

I loved Mitch.

C'mon!

He is as hard as nails and puts his body on the line for his team.

Mitch can play the game and can be very damaging when on song but his head is not always right and the brain fade is never far away sadly.

I never hold grudges for blokes that leave and always wish em the best.

Mitch , Betts and Jacobs hurt the most to see in other teams jumpers and i knew Betts and Jacobs wanted to go home but it is what it is and club worked with them to get em home even though we took unders for Jacobs.. They do not suddenly turn into spuds because you gave them up!!

They all can play but it is what it is and Pro sports these days.

I'll never forget Voss saying after the Fev trade "if we can get 190 goals out of them (brown and Fev) we will be happy
Jesus.... 150-60 would have been realistic if they'd have stayed healthy and the team performed well the whole season, not just the first 4 rounds.


I thought we had the premiership come round 5, just like I told my Pats friend we were headed to the Super Bowl after we beat them in week 5, 2009

:cry::cry::cry:

Those were tough years of sport, at least the Nuggets were good

but then they lose Game 6 at home vs. LA

Robinson could be a really good pickup the more I think about it.

He is tough, which we need a bit of to complement our running style.

Reports are he is a new man now with the responsibility of his family, and having moved out of the bubble of Melbourne

This could be a move where we look back in 5 years and think, Leppa really avenged his mate Vossy's decision to get Fev

Hows Kane Lucas going Dagless and now that is a SPUD in every sense of the word i am happy to see in another teams jumper!

Massive pea heart and i have material inside my pillow case harder than him.
Wow this is the most poorly targeted troll so far Chism.

West Coast picked up Lucas through the rookie list... CARLTON drafted the lad with the 12th overall pick in a draft.

This is bad even by your standards.

I like Robinson, seems to be really making a go of it up here.
