dropped my bundle on the caddy shack poster

Being John Malkovich would be good. Obviously with the words John and Malkovich being replaced with Travis and Cloke.

Brisbanes off season departures will hurt them in the next couple of years.
The seem like a team with a decent but not great top 16 or so players, but very shallow roster after that

Nah, all the blokes who left are spuds, I have it on good authority, Yeo, Polec. Complete duds.

I'd go 'Simple Jack' out of tropic thunder. Seamless

Jack Stevens out for 8-10 weeks with an ankle injury.

F-me the Saints last three years have been shocking.

 

[eth-dog]

So saints to lose first 6-8 games, yeah?

Oh, that just sucks for the Saints.

Steven is one of the few players on that list I would genuinely take in a heart beat. Gun.

Perfect match.

 

[Old Campaigner]

Good opportunity to get someone who isn't a deadset flog into the AFLPA

Classic.

Would take all of those...

 

[eth-dog]

Would take all of those...

Anybody else?

The really sick part about this is that Finnis is so St Kilda it is probably going to happen.

 

[Old Campaigner]

I don't see what the problem is. That w***er will cause far fewer headaches for everyone else if he is stuck at St Kilda.

RIP St Kilda

You're still gonna find people who would rather him over Kommer

People who never wanted to pick Garlett include me ftr

But seriously, Garlett didn't do a pre-season last year. He "fail(ed) to turn up to training or keep fit in the fallout from his AFL snub." He only turned up once the games started. I would have thought, given how totally unsuitable all that is to the rigours of AFL football, Hawthorn would have expected some problems when it comes to his desire and what not over the course of this pre-season/the start of the season once it became clear to him that he's starting in the VFL and not the AFL. So I'd be surprised if his career was on the line, in a "never talking to you again" sense.

 

[Doss]

It's the sort of gamble you can afford to take when you've just won a premiership, I suppose.

Also, given that it's Mark Stevens, I'd treat it with caution for the time being. The bloke is nearly as entrenched in the gutter as Barrett and Ralph.
