Dangerfield = unanimous Brownlow medalist for 2016. Truly one of the greats of the game today. 37 lazy ones and one of the best goals you'd ever see him put through.

But it is not just Patrick, it is the entire Geelong team contributing. Easily the premiership favorites as of now.

They always say the younger brother is better. The Selwoods have another son after Joel I think and he was supposed to be better. Paul James was meant to be the most talented James yet he's spent most of his career winning flags and sniping young kids in country footy.

That said, Troy will play plenty of good footy for us IMO.
I know a bunch of guys from Golden Grove, who had a lot to do with both boys; Troy is definitely rated as the more talented player - they reckon he's an absolute freak (and did say that Daniel was the harder worker).

He's a good gamble for us - if we can get his body (and head) rights I reckon he could be a weapon.

Kane Cornes has shown himself to be a massive dickhead.

I thought he was alright, but he makes Rowie look impartial; ******.




As for Dangerfield, meh.

He's going to win a Brownlow, and potentially a flag.

I still blame Trigg for this, ******* prick.
Dangerfield leaving has little to do with Trigg and everything to do with a Partner who justed didn't want to spend any more years in Adelaide away from her family

If we can get Menzel and B. Crouch up and running we could find another gear in the 2nd half of the season

Kern's press conference: "Didn't work hard enough for long enough" blah blah marbles in mouth "need to work harder" rush a few more words to get this over "Barlow" (*outcoached*) blah blah blah cliché cliché "Work harder"

Does this guy actually have any intelligent footy comments? He simply blames the players all the time for not playing hard enough or port adelaide way (which I'm guessing they wouldn't know what that is). No mention of particular areas in the game they need to get better at, structures, particular ball movements,.. Anything!

I say extend his contract again. "4 more years! 4 more years! 4 More....!"

What's with all these star footballers already happen to find their life partners before they are drafted?
Is it the money and fame that they don't split?

I've got no doubt that was a major factor (if not the major) but I genuinely believe the Trigg/Sanderson debacles made it easier for him to make the decision.

I said at the time - I reckon he made up his mind when those two dickheads were in charge; had second thoughts because of Walshy, but didn't quite make the leap back.

Walsh and Richardson were the brains of the operation.

I reckon Ken is a good man manager, but without gun lieutenants, he's found wanting.

Oh yeah. He is a key motivator and not a strategist.

Can port power afford to recuit a key strategist. That's the key.
