Beamer’s latest grift.

With new neck tats.

 

[Gadzorks]

With new neck tats.

And an up close view of a train wreck. Can't imagine he's going come out of that looking fabulous.

 

[Zhesty]

I still have a soft spot for Beams. I think he played his part in our early revival. Hope he can sort through his issues.

You're a really nice person. I'll try to emulate your attitude.

Oh nooo. A nice, empathetic Gadzorks. Naaah I'll believe it when I see it.

It good to have aspirations. I'm told it's good to achieve them as well.

Finlayson for a future third seems like a great deal for Port.

 

[jackess]

Finlayson for a future third seems like a great deal for Port.

Guessing Giants keen to get his salary off the books.

Not sure how he fits into ports forwardline

Midfield depth more of an issue for port

 

[Tom14]

Finlayson for a future third seems like a great deal for Port.

Finlayson is just a perfect fit in that flaky forwardline too, he's even lazier than Marshall and disappears in big spots just like Charlie. Georgiades has promise at least.

Price is nothing but I think Finlayson is bog average, so I'd be happy to get the salary off the books if I'm GWS.

 

[dlanod]

I think Finlayson is bog average

I'd say he's average but that's because he oscillates wildly between 0% and 100% with nothing in between.

 

[Tom14]

I'd say he's average but that's because he oscillates wildly between 0% and 100% with nothing in between.

Based on nothing more than gut feel it seems like the 100% comes against the weaker teams? A very quick look at his stats seems to support that - 1 goal, 25 touches, 5 marks across his games against us, the Dogs and Dees this year.

 

[BangyBangy]

He's certainly makes or breaks my multi bets.

Gamble responsibly people

Not always, but it more aligns with GWS being on top which obviously would trend towards being against the weaker teams (although it is GWS, who tend to play better against top 8 clubs so *shrug*). There's only been a handful of games where he's been a definite contributor to the victory, and mainly back in 2019.

He looks about 40 years old.

Get him some Harvard hair weaving and some botox and it could help his confidence.

Fwiiw I think this is a misstep by PA.

Given the price its probably ok - he'll be decent depth and tbh is probably as good an option as Marshall. But given the deal is 3 years to smooth out his salary it might turn out to be a wasted list spot at the end.

 

[Mr Ripper]

Finlayson giving Grundy a taste of his own medicine in the '19 Prelim one of the more satisfying finals moments of all time.

Pies fans furious after this Giant goal

Brodie Grundy appears to be pushed out of the ruck by Jeremy Finlayson who takes full advantage

Listening to trade radio while I do the house work, and they mentioned that coaches of indigenous heritage don’t have their salary counted under the soft cap, as part of an initiative by the AFL for teams to employ more indigenous staff.

Was this in relation to Eddie Betts taking a role at Geelong?

 

[briztoon]

Was this in relation to Eddie Betts taking a role at Geelong?

They mentioned a couple of indigenous assistant coaches, including Betts, and other roles.

But it wasn’t specific to one player. Some of what Rendell said, in regards to indigenous coaches not liking 2 to 3 hour meetings, didn’t sit well with me, simply because some of what he said wouldn’t just apply to indigenous coaches, and wouldn’t necessarily apply to all indigenous coaches either.

Rendell really really sucks.

Casual racism perhaps?

 

[Hollow Knight]

Does anyone like 2-3 hour meetings?

* that.

 

[mattsmob]

Rendell really really sucks.

He’s genuinely difficult to listen to, can’t wait to have a good laugh when he does our list analysis.

 

[martinson]

Does anyone like 2-3 hour meetings?

fu** that.

I think with any meeting on anything the attention levels start to wane after an hour in and I think that would magnified where the participants are physical outdoor types who would rather be kicking a footy or organising drills.

Mind you some of the coaches don't mind talking.

"Some of my best friends are indigenous coaches who don't like long meetings."*
