FTFY

 

[robboaustralia]

Hately playing ok.

 

[AmericanCrow]

Brisbane outscored us in a half

We won’t sniff 47 lol

 

[betterthanu]

I would rather have Charlie

Me too

When he left you can really notice the value of a dynamic forward like him. Even deGoey last night showed the same for the Pies. Worth their weight in gold

Seems Brisbane life with less of a fish bowl suits Cameron and is playing much better and consistent football.

 

[Scorpus]

The player from our 2016 side most likely to win a flag is also the guy we chose to ditch in favour of a cooked Scott Thompson

 

[Cadillac]

Jong LOL

Say what you want about him. But Bevo see’s him in our best 22 when fit and rotates through one of the best midfields in the league.

 

[GROTTO]

But also cant get Fog without losing Cameron so not all bad

Not so sure. We will never truly know how the sliding doors may have taken place with Fog going at Pick 13.

We lack the speed. We lack the mismatches he creates which open up opportunities for others. We lack the intangibles that kind of player offers.

Why, despite our midfield issues, losing Danger never affected us so dramatically

 

[GROTTO]

It was clear Charlie gave the forward line something quite similar to Eddie but in the beginning stages of his career as opposed to the latter stages.

How they did not ensure he stay is beyond me.

The biggest problem IMO is we rewarded Betts for his efforts in his early years with the contract extension, when instead we should have let it play out and paid the extra to keep Cameron.

NO.

Come on Brisbane 40+

Part of it is natural maturity of a player too though I reckon

He was good at the Crows but I didn't see him reaching this level.

Argument can be made you are dead on.

I did...he always had that nebulous “it” factor to me.

Of course I thought Lever would be better than he has been so far too.

It was reported his partner wanted to move back to Brisbane and Cameron did studied there so it wasn't able money but he will be now getting a lot more from Brisbane.

I thought he would be a very good player up there with one of the best small forward currently in the AFL but not this elite where he is trending in the Betts like career and possibly beyond him.

Gee, GWS are flirting with form... most overrated side in the comp.

 

[treeman]

I keep reading about Gary Ablett and his son having a rare degenerative disorder. Can anyone tell me what it actually is?
I feel as though if it were a minor player on another list the footy community would hear nothing about it.

We could have had both if we didn’t trade for Gibbs. Use pick 10 on Fog and keep Cameron.

Not seen it specified. I disagree—any player that revealed a young child’s diagnosis would get publicity.

Maybe it is amplified faster but regardless it is heartbreaking

Top name or not

Lol Graham Cornes is now officially a Port Adelaide FC Ambassador.

After their Grand Final smashing, they were looking at redemption this year but then this compromised season occurred....playing group mind not in this season evident by those early losses and now in a down patch.

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

And up until 2018 we had a Ruckman in Sam Jacobs that was in the top 3 or 4 ruckmen in the AFL....The Bulldogs had?

The last half decent Ruck they had was Will Minson about 5 or 6 years ago, since then they've had a mix of "part timers" Jordan Roughead (KPD/KPF/Ruck), Jackson Trengove (KPD/Ruck) and Tom Boyd (KPF/Ruck) until Tim English came along....see the difference?
Every possibility English still wouldn't have got a shot if Tom Boyd didn't exit the stage.

There's always a string of reasons why our guys can't possibly have played any more than they did

The proof ultimately is in the outcome and results.
