I think Groont is a good chance to get back.
He is talking so it is obviously his opinion. If we need to say ''ín my opinion'' every time we have an opinion, then your post should say ''in my opinion you're not very bright'', ''in my opinion it was genuinely one of the funniest things...".You literally stated "it's over" You didn't say "in my opinion it's over" you simply stated the actual fact that it is over. I brought you out of ignore for this, because it was genuinely one of the funniest things I have read on here. I laughed and laughed and showed my kids. They laughed and laughed as well, and we all sat around laughing.
Look I get it, you're not very bright, you might even have an analyst. (which you should change btw, they aren't working out.) But you can't just step into the ring swinging before the ref has read the rules to you and put your gloves on. Use what you have, don't get into arguments with people you ca.... just don't get into arguments. Try some chamomile tea, and get someone to read this to you.
GENIUS!!!! Now we have the issue of how to state a fact. Wait wouldn't we just say "It's over"? Oh wait, that's exactly what he did. btw the wayif you want to know how to tell the difference betwen a person stating a fact... "It's over" compared to an opinion "I think it's over" is how it's done.He is talking so it is obviously his opinion.

By the way, in my opinion your post is poor form. This is not the Bay.
No. It is not necessary to say ''I think'' or ''IMO" on a discussion forum. It is implied. Facts are not part of Big Footy. Facts can't be argued, and therefore do not require discussion. Otherwise, we would need to discount any post anywhere where the author does not use "I think" or similar.GENIUS!!!! Now we have the issue of how to state a fact.

I genuinely Lolled at "He is talking so it's obviously his opinion" Brilliant stuff. Keep it up.
Ok cool well heres my opinion and thoughts on Birchall.
1. He has been out for a very long time. He is practically an unknown quantity at this point and past performance is never a reliable indicator for future success. If he comes back, I dont believe he will make a big impact.. see: rule changes, playing style has changed, different team mates.
2. There are young players in the position he would have played now (Scrimshaw, Hardwick, Sicily). They are playing well and I feel we need to get games into them over giving Birchall a game. (see my thoughts on Roughead being dropped, its its good enough for one not to play seniors its good enough for the other). We're tracking for premierships in the next 2-3 years. Its highly unlikely Birchall will be around then.... Those 3 I named, will be.
3. List space and cap space.
a. We could take an extra in the mid-season draft. Yes, they might not set the world alight (would Birchall though?) and at least they could theoretically play and add depth?
b. cap space heading into arguably our most important off-season where getting Coniglio could literally be the difference between us competing and being mid-ladder also rans for the next 5 years.
In summary, I think it's time the club makes the business decision. The known positives of retiring Birchall outweigh the unknown positives of him returning. That is the point i'm trying to make.
Happy to take rebuttals and your perspective.
Pretty standard one would think Birch should be done, and if he manages to comeback it should be to mentor the kids at BHH and to get a farewell game if we can’t make finals.. love Birch but its more important for our future that our youngsters play.
Do you also believe that the earth is flat?He's been treated worse by our club than Jaeger was by Gold Coast.
I've moved on, he got 4 premierships and that is a fact. Jaeger played footy after Gold Coast, Birch hasn't come close at Hawthorn since his injury to playing a game. Not even one. W treat our new players better than our old players it would seem.... based on recent history.
Do you believe the Burgoyne didn't happen?Do you also believe that the earth is flat?
.Do you believe the Burgoyne didn't happen?
Do you believe the Hale didn't happen?
Do you believe the Gibson didn't happen?
Do you believe the Lake didn't happen?
O'Meara wont even go near. But I'm sure that didn't happen. Much like Guerra missing 2012 that didn't happen.
Seriously you love all that but will not say our club has f'd up Birchall... for a club that has fixed every single player to walk thru our doors is he not an anomaly....? yes based on you theory... but even take your theory out it's still the most monumental failure at our club during the Clarkson years. Now I'm willing to say I'll take the premierships and wear it. But geez great job with Jaegar who I love... no premierships. So move on. The Birchall f upp is a f up. I do understand he was one of the two he was on two strikes... but his form after that was subliminal for 5 years.
No idea what your rant is meant to mean.Do you believe the Burgoyne didn't happen?

I hear their Fitness Guy is brilliantIf he's done at Hawthorn, he should try his luck at Carlton.
They need his type, especially for the leadership.
