If it wasnt for Peter we wouldnt have got Adam Cooney

He might have been "cheap as chips" but he ended up catching one big Marlin for us :)

I think you can also thank Matty Robbins for it too.

If he hadn't been caught like a rabbit in the headlights at Subiaco we would have won that game, not drawn it.

Had we won, we would have finished above Carlton, who tho suspended from the first round of the draft, still retained their priority pick (which they used to select Andrew Walker), which they would more than likely would have used to select Adam Cooney.

I just can't bring myself to do it.

I think Rohde set us back more than pushed us forward.
Just remember we squandered pick 6, 18, 19 and the preseason no.1 while we lost the best small forward in the comp at the time.

Pick 6 = Kepler Bradley

Pick 18 = Llane spaanderman

Pick 19 = David Mundy

Only bradely and Mundy are still going around so yes a player Like Mundy is abit of a loss :(

Does not mean we would have taken them. I am not sure who else was in that draft but we may have chosen differently.

lucky we got Cooney and Farren out of it, that draft was pretty disappointing after pick 5, which was Brock McLean
Beau Water was ok at pick 11 and it pretty much ends there
Brisbane got Rischitelli and Adcock from that draft but they were pretty late picks...

Brown = More money than he could poke a stick at.
Bradley = Who gives a shit.
Veale = Got his 15 minutes he'd not have gotten.
Rawlings = Paid a lot of money for doing very ____ing little.

I think nearly everyone won.

I think Brown has lost financially in the long run after breaking his leg. It may not have happened if he stayed at the dogs but I think we are better off without him in any case. Brown never displayed the loyalty shown by other players, he all ways put what he wanted before what was best for the club/team. He was never going to be a Grant, Johnstone or West who are bulldogs through and through.

Come on, you can do better than that.
