3 recent flags but the Cats are nearly as broke as Brisbane. Why?

Mining and Construction, someone has to keep this shit country afloat.
Enjoy your dole day fish and chips, smokes, booze and drugs.
Haha mining. I knew whatever job you had you only needed half a brain :) smokes booze and drugs, sounds right up your alley really. Pretty much goes hand in hand with your occupation.

Dual trade and I actually work in construction for mining. Never smoked or done drugs, seen enough friends growing up in country Victoria go off the rails with that shit so never bothered with it. But yes it's rife in the construction and mining industry, was quite bad in military also. Kinda like me assuming your a meth head been a likely Geelong resident.
And what does the supremely educated and intellgent
JD TomaSpud do for a crust?

Apologies, I've never heard of a hawfie owning 2 cars. You must put in long hours down at the local fish and chip shop
Who the hell is this blow in Handbagger minnow?

I've never seen him before (or noticed him if I did) but all of a sudden he's casting dispersions (sic) and throwing his weight around like he's someone I should know about. The stink of elias wafts off him but I can't place this particular vintage.

Sounds like this ^ 48%er is chatting you up JD Tomahawk. Maybe he's the kind of construction worker only found in the Village People.

Not me, personally I think it's pathetic jumping on a new recruit, every player has to earn their stripes. Speculation is just that speculation, people may get interested in a possible recruit its different than lickin ball of a new recruit to a club.
Hawks were never in the market for Dangerfield, most people knew that. It's called a salary cap.
I don't think he's the Messiah but he will be a very important cog.

I've followed him since his junior days. It's good to have him home.

I'm just an average joe hoping to get under your skin.
Not sure if getting noticed by you is anything special.
I've been throwing my weight around these parts full time via phone for the last few months.
Am I an elias....Maybe I am maybe I'm not.

Unfortunately the loss of players such as Kelly, Stokes, Johnson are also part of the equation. SJ kicked 30 goals last year so Dangerfield will just be a midfield upgrade on him.

Your lucky your pathetic team was even invited into the VFA. Can only imagine how many handies the hawks board at the time had to give out for that one to happen
Nakia must love you. He isn't even the most embarrassing poster in this thread with you around. Amazing.

Thread delivers. Possibly not for the reason you 2 think though.

SJ will be a huge loss considering Geelong's only capable small forward is Gutflop (a poor man's obese Cyril) and they want him playing in the midfield because theirs lacks the genuine pace that's essential to their run & carry gameplan - which Chris Scott is too inept & intractable to change.

Tummy Porkins is the AFL's least mobile forward. Vardy & Clark are loping plodders of questionable reliability, Kersten belongs in a potato field and Menzel should be regarded as a bonus if he can stay fit rather than a vital ingredient. They lack a resting ruck who kicks goals and haven't had one since Ottens.

One glance at the Geelong forwardline and you can see how top-heavy & unbalanced it is. The AFL ranked their attack 7th in 2015 and I thought that was generous. Losing Stevie J along with the continued decline of the Bartel (who already looks cooked) is going to hurt them. As usual they'll rely excessively on Tommapork to kick a winning score but this is a guy who's only had two 50+ goal seasons in his career, a far cry from Roughead who's done it 6 times which I thinks sums up the difference in quality between the two players & the two clubs nicely.



Wow, can't believe I went so far off topic. Here we are supposed to be discussing how dirt broke the Handbaggers are not how mediocre their team is! :$

Haha, now they've changed tact to trying to predict the future... :)

They really are shitting bricks at the prospect of failure in their quest for dynasty supremacy in 2016.:)

Chin up guys, a 3 year dynasty isn't that bad. :thumbsu:
It's change tack you imbecile. It's a nautical term meaning a course correction.

I'm kinda surprised you haven't talked yourself into getting banned yet because you've talked yourself into just about everything else.

Anyway. let's get back on track with this thread. How did they lose 3.3m last year?
LoL at this thread already having 67 pages though.

LOL at 50 of those pages being due to the Hawks and blow-ins from their team board.

Now why would I do that?

Watching an entire supporter base foam at the mouth and object to being inferior to Geelong is worth its weight in Gold. :thumbsu:

I couldn't possibly miss it. :thumbsu:
