I just can’t believe we traded McRae

Would have been handy right now….as coach according to some

Forgot about him….but did just see premiership backman Joel Hambling mentioned in another thread

Or Sniff

No worries, mate, I'm an old chalkie. The less/fewer distinction used to piss me off in the Coles '20 items or..." queue.

Nothing worse than bad gramma !

Yes I did point that one out.

My parents were European migrants, so I've always been a stickler for names, especially as a child I'd have adults struggle with my own straightforward, phonetically pronounced 6 letter first name! My whole life I've always ensured I get people's names correct, especially many colleagues and friends from Asia, sub-continent, etc.

It still bemuses me people can't get the names of our players correct, as many of those same names are constantly in the media, on BF in team lists and discussions, etc.

Let alone the names of any Bullgod who brought home a flag...

Geoff has 5 letters

And it's not fonetically phonetically pronounced!

Joel Hambling was beloved of Bruce Macavaney

 

[geoffjennings79]

It is according to Michael McIntyre!

That was me who spelt the name wrong. I had a teacher who had a surname spelt Hambling so I typed it wrong. Lucky you were not my teacher reckon I get 50 lashes for such a criminal offence.

You'd be lucky if Geoff only doled out 50 when he spotted the objective personal pronoun instead of the subjective and the double incidence of the adjectival form instead of the adverbial. How's that for pomposity !

Surely they bought home a flag

 

[JohnnySteel]

Looked like he was at the game last night. Good sign.

 

[iambrilliant]

How’s this bloke going ? What’s the vibe ? Will he play another game at the dogs or is he done .

Is he back to full training or just a day here and there when he feels like it kind of thing?

I’m out of the loop and mean no offence with any of my questions just genuinely curious where he’s at

Dead right. Wrong thread but Bont v EJ greatest club footballer. No doubt in my mind, Bont, fourth best behind 'Bottles' Greenwood, Bill Harrington and Eddie O'Halloran, mind you, young O'Donnell is looking promising.

 

[BigFloppa]

Is he still training or packed it in for the year?

Don’t want to get shot down and I’d be very happy to be proven wrong, but having spoken to someone at the club earlier this week the vibe I got is that it’s very likely he won’t be with us next year. As I say I’d be very happy to be wrong.

 

[Lindsay_Gilbee]

If this bloke gets his shit together and stays at the club he’ll have the best job in footy for the next decade. Third fiddle behind Darce and Naughton. Imagine him getting the third best defender.

 

[dergert]

Whatever we get for him will be peanuts in comparison to what his worth is to us. Such a shame.

He’s not coming back to us, he won’t even do a little block of training to be available for VFL selection. Connors has probably had his next club lined up for months.

If that was the case we'd have little to lose by playing hard ball and letting him sit in the 2s next year

What makes you think he would show up to training frequently enough to get games for the 2s?

It's a lot of money to pay for someone to not play for us.
