Yes, I know you were crowing about it at the time getting Smith (midget) Saad (looks great streaming out of defence but can't actually defend) and Stringer (has all the intensity of souffle) - but once again, I applaud the Dodo for topping up now while you're in your premiership window rather than building via the draft.

How comforting it must be that despite your on field performances you can at least look forward to that one special week in November knowing you'll do well because 'being hard to deal with' means you'll 'get good bargains'.

Sure, the Dodo has single-handedly screwed you over more than Hird, WADA, ASADA and Dank combined over the last ~15 years but winning trade week truly is something to be proud of.

Once again, congratulations :thumbsu:

Shoutouts to the strength and conditioning coaches there too.

It's quite a talent taking someone who was slightly overweight and turning them slightly obese. :thumbsu:

The lyrics are actually pretty apt.


Look out I hear the scream of sirens on the wall
I see a policeman crying in the back seat of a dying Ford
Hotel waiters leave the bedrooms of stars who are far too old
And no-one ever told me that I could be so cold

[Chorus]
Bombers fly to zero
Feet, feet
Bombers fly to zero

[Verse]
I see an old man knocked to the ground and beaten by the vicar's wife
And no-one stops to help they're far too busy tring to save their own lives
A tiny girl screams for mother and wanders out into the street
I saw her go down underneath a thousand people's running feet

[Chorus]
Bombers fly to zero
Feet
Bombers fly to zero

[Verse]
All the junkies pulling needles from their arms hope it lasts the night
All the soldiers curse the day they joined the army and prepare to fight
In silent bars, in silent rooms, in silent cars, you hide where you can
And me I know just where you are, you see, I'm a bomber man

Please remind me of the picks they traded for these potatos?

Their first, second round and 2018 third round round all up.

We had two first round picks last year and those two kids are already establishing themselves in our side (Naughton and Richards).
Then we picked up a mid sized forward (Gowers) who has overtaken Stringer already.

Look on the bright side, at least now they'll have a nice top 6 pick to use on a blonde, lightly-built outside mid, with no pace and average skills. :rainbow:
... only if an average back pocket isn't available.

Remember when David King said they had a list which could win the flag?

Funnier than Richo saying the same about the Saints??

Love the Dodo - keep up the good work son. 15 yrs for zero finals wins.
