[Mr north man]

Are North that stupid?

Well the NMFC have done a lot stupid things in recent times so anything's possible.

Tyson was average at best - a good inside mid is a massive stretch and Jason Castaga was a vital premiership player.

Kelly is an AA, 2 time B&F winner, captain and has a top 3 in the MVP.

C: Kelly Petrraca Langdon. Its a fair centre line. So yeah - that got that wrong - its not a howler but a mistake.

Kelly is the most overrated player in the comp, no thanks.

Tyson was a bust after an ok start, but Salem was a very important player in our premiership. He's also a great clubman and team player, and the exact opposite of the arrogant Kelly who excels in picking up cheap possessions. There's a reason why GWS has a s**t culture

If you think it was a "howler of a mistake", good for you. But as a Melbourne fan I'm very, very comfortable with the outcome.

Salem is the master at picking up cheap possessions.

Biggest seagull in the league.

Err, what?

Melbourne is a s**t hole. Don't get me wrong, I actually really like Melbourne, having grown up in Tassie and making many trips there, as well as living on the Peninsula from 205-2018 however I must address a number of glossed-over issues that the locals conveniently forget when comparing Melbourne to other Australian capital cities:

The amount of filthy, homeless crack addicts that infest Melbourne, plus the beggars(who are better dressed than me) asking for money every 5 minutes, as well as the skyrocketing rent and property prices, terrible weather, ridiculously spread out nightlife and finally (and this is the deal-breaker right here) inability to freely fondle a stripper's breasts, definitively lower the livability of the city, in my humble opinion.

wow!
you are really old

 

[Wild Bill]

Tsatas to ess

 

[La Dispute]

Tough to split.

Daicos at least has youth on his side, Salem has been playing bruise free footy for a decade.

 

[RUNVS]

Feels a bit risky as aren't there rumours Phillipou is extremely arrogant and not super likeable?

Gee you mustn’t rate Langdon. Kelly beats him in all areas - including contested possessions. Salam will never be voted in the best 3 players in the comp - wouldn’t get the top 3 in his own club.

 

[TylerDurden]

Putting pressure back on the Dodo, if you want to trade back to 10-12 to grab him fat ******* chance

You will need to go him at 4 or miss out

Hopefully we don't * this up somehow

What are you asking from Saints for the pick slide? F1? I can't see them doing it anyway.

Don’t disagree that Kelly is overrated for his output but the only thing arrogant is your post. Kelly is one of the least arrogant people you would meet.

Kelly is a diligent trainer, he works very hard and is a great example to the young players with his training professionalism and standards.

GWS may not have won a flag but has generally performed quite well. The unwillingness of some of the players to accept more accountable roles has been problematic, but the overall culture of the club is very positive.

I think you put the situation re the players more down to their personal expectations. It’s the same way that high draft picks like to dictate where they go whereas lower picks are just happy to get selected anywhere. George Wardlaw said as much in an interview last week.

Most HBF are seagulls, How many cheap possessions does Docherty get a game.

 

[Wild Bill]

Would be crazy - especially as they could be bottom 6.

The difference from 5-9 is minimal. If ess take Philly then Tsatas is on the slide.

 

[11kgm]

Feels a bit risky as aren't there rumours Phillipou is extremely arrogant and not super likeable?

After hearing his interview, he said he like MJ Koby he wants to be the main man

 

[Apex36]

So Davey will want to go to a club that told him they would draft him but then they turned their back on him? Seems legit.

Almost as legit as a club bidding on Davey in the top 5 and expecting the bid to be matched.

Apparently, it's Carlton who is keen on coming in earlier but we will see i think it's all smoke and mirrors from the club

Then having them at our facilities will give us an inkling on his "likability"

 

[bzparkes]

wow!
you are really old

Ssssshh, it's a secret...

 

[Stamos]

The rumour came out a while ago, but that was when it seemed there was a possibility of Sheezel being available. It seems like the Horne-Francis mega trade put it to bed

So just lazy journalism, as per usual i can't see us doing that

Tsatas isn't worth 2 1sts

Well, it has probably been discussed, but I can't see how a trade gets done.

Sticking to rumors I think journalists are just trying to get a story

 

[citizen-erased]

explains why the coach likes him

 

[Zephyr Effekt]

We'll take if Dons trade back. Nothing surer now.

I think Phillipou is bait.

Tsatas is number 1 on Hawthorn's big board.
