WTF really.
Has he lost the plot.
Why the hell are they doing it then.

To facilitate property deals...

Oh no worries then. Carry on.

But wait, K Cornes says Fyfe is coming to Crows. Wow, some midfield we're gonna have.

OK, so now Kornes says the battle for Fyfe is down to 3 Vic clubs. Make up your mind Kane you large idiot flog.

This may have explained Stringers form last year

Secret split ’I’m in complete shock, I’m a single mum’
FOOTY WAG Abby Gilmore has opened up about her separation from Western Bulldogs’ Jake Stringer in the hope of helping other women struggling through relationship breakdowns.

Sad about postnatal depression but her faux concern is pathetic. I wonder how much money she got for that interview? Guess she needs to chase the money somehow with no more footy player to hang off.

This is a disgraceful comment.

Err... struggling? What's Mr Stringer on?

Lots of single mums don't have an ex-partner that makes what he makes

And if it was financial what makes you think that he gave her any? My sister was married for 15 years to a guy who earns more than Stringer and got the kids and some change. He emptied accounts, lies thru his teeth to child support, harrasses my sister 3 years on and gets away with it cause he is filthy rich. Money doesn't create morals

Wake up to yourself. Not all women are gold diggers and I think they have been together since school. Seriously we aren't in 1935 any more, you just can't say that sort of shit, woman aren't always to blame.

Did you actually read the article? She's 23 with two kids, they have been together since she was 13 and they broke up when the newest bub was 3 weeks old. Yeah, she has really jumped on his coat tails!! Instead of calling her pathetic, maybe a little bit more empathy and a small touch of understanding would be a better path? Maybe even some admiration for her attitude? Possibly?

Oh I never ever thought you would respond, really. Tell me, how is Abby "hoping" she helps other women struggling in relationship breakdowns. What has she done apart from having 52,000 instagram followers and being a "mummy blogger" whatever the hell that is.

Abby is now working as a mummy blogger and appears to be enjoying seeing her name in the papers.

I didn't call her pathetic. I said her faux concern was pathetic.

I had a partner who, when we separated, tried to 'bill' me for things that he paid for and told me after the fact that this is what we had bought/were going to do. My salary was half of his and yet all my salary went onto the household bills which essentially left me with no spending money. He refused to have a joint account. There is another situation in my family regarding a partner who walked out on a pregnancy and has been trying to hide from the government so that they don't have to pay child support. I know so many people for whom these types of stories are so very real.

If that is a quote from the article then it is pretty disgraceful from that 'journalist'. That is making an assumption and providing no information back. Because you don't know what a mummy blogger is doesn't mean that is a bad thing. It just means you don't know something. Instead you chose to disparage it instead of trying to find out. Do you disparage the CWA? It's similar to that in but in our social media world we have now where we can connect with people all over the world to see that there is a lot that is similar in our experiences. It provides those with children the ability to talk to others and ask and receive advice.

I feel for u Nikki and all people who have relationships that end like that. The stress my sister was under made her so sick and mentally exhausted I wanted to maim her ex so bad, unfortunately that can't happen. And I'm sure that's only the half of what happened just like my sister.

Can you see any value in a mum? Talking to others with experience can't help? Dude quit now before you get yourself in too deep, don't be so ignorant

Requirements of a mummy blogger:
- Be a mum
- Have Instagram

She uploads photos of her kids. What else does she do?

Wow, I'm not sure how you could make comparisons between the two.

For me, I was living overseas and away from my family, so that made things a little difficult and the email from him came when I was at work. Needless to say I had to hold back one of workmates who wanted to leave work and 'deal with him'. Don't mess with Scottish/Yorkshire women

I still have his email and my reply and I found it again a few years ago. I had a bit of a panic attack reading it again, but it has made me stronger. I'm one of the lucky ones and I am so pleased that there are now laws that are starting to be implemented about emotional and controlling abusive behaviour as part of DV.

Bit harsh walking out on your missus with a three week old....

I'm not saying there's no value in being a Mum, stop putting words in my mouth.

Empathy is in short supply at the moment.

Have you looked at it apart from a quick glance? And there is a huge number of mummy bloggers all over the world. It is how mamamia started and now they do articles on lots of different things. As I said, you aren't interested in actually looking into it. It's something these women do and put up pictures and they must be shamed for wanting attention is all I get from your posts. What do the CWA do? Why were they started? Think about that. Think about when you are home looking after small children. Do you work as well? Is your time limited? Where can you find access without having to leave your home, take you away from your children to connect with others in a similar position? I bet you would be one of those people who wouldn't read Teen Vogue for the politics.

Your words are doing that all on their own. The fact that there is more than one of us saying that is what we understood should be telling you something.

Pretty sure the words in your mouth already have you in the ignorant/fool catagory. You belittled her as a single person, a woman and a mother who sits at home blogging shit and said she was a goldigger. How about you transport yourself back to the 1800s where your opinions obviously belong.

Trades don't have to be equal though, Ken Wood's there to ensure there's nothing suss behind the deals, ie secret hand shake deals. There's nothing suss about the Palmer deal, GWS didn't want him, needed to clear space on their list and were probably going to delist him, they just assisted him in getting a fresh start elsewhere.

This was posted in the "What if...?" thread. I didn't want to derail the thread so I thought here was probably the best place to quote it. Does anyone know what/if anything came from the extremely suspect trade Carlton made with Hawthorn about 1 hour before the end of trade week that enabled Hawthorn to get the deal for O'Meara over the line? Carlton traded their 2017 second round pick (probably 21) for Hawthorns picks 48, 66 and 70. That equates to Carlton giving up 878 points for 421 in return.

SOS has shown in his time at Carlton that he is happy to make some questionable trades, especially when it involves giving up a quality draft pick for a big pile of shit, but surely this trade was the result of some dodgy dealing.
