You mean this one?


Oops, wrong one. Oh well.

LOL, this is not a discussion you guys can win, sorry. You're just giving me too much fun. Feel free to keep it up though. All good

He is right, you put one up that has him going for a players body when the other player is going for the ball, not the one where he had more skid marks then a getaway car when he shat himself.

 

[adammania9]

If West coast finish top they will not miss the Grand final

The three certainties in life
1) death
2) taxes
3) Essendon pulling wins in Perth out of their ass when not expected to

Ineligible as he's too old.

Just checked Sportsbet and I'm surprised this hasn't been fixed up yet. The bloke will be 23 in 11 days time.

I do think though he'll turn out similar to Tim Kelly/Bayley Fritsch though, one of the best draftees who's unfortunately not in RS contention.
