Our alleged "bias" pales into insignificance in comparison to your irrational hate of a 21 yo trying to make his way in the game.

In the words of Courtney Barnett: "I think you're a joke, but I don't find you very funny."
I am not nearly as close minded about Hrovat as MD and I do see Hrovat reaching his best at AFL level. My stance with him is that if he reaches his best, and he were at another club, he is not a player I would be worried about facing. I don't mind seeing him go to another club and forging a career as I don't think he will hurt us.

At least Melksham has actually made the field and isn't injured every two weeks

Although I do agree pick 25 for him is a joke but he is as valuable if not more than Hrovat

The bias in here to this nothing footballer is a joke

Let's be honest IF Hrovat was at another clu and we were after him you would al be screaming saying they at the hell are we after him for!!!!

Stop carrying on and having a crack at me coz I'm honest, he is beyond shite and taking a list spot the sooner he goes the better
Weren't you saying the same thing about Dickson? :rolleyes:

You realise that players read Bigfooty right? Pull ya head in, no player that dons the red white and blue deserves to be talked about like that.

I've been a critic of his disposal at times this year but he's 21 years old for ****s sake, and he's a inside mid being played out of position. If he was given a sustained run at his preferred position I have no doubt he has the potential to be a gun. It's just that we are overloaded with inside mids thanks to Maccas obsession with them, we still have to somehow fit in Libba, Koby and Clay next year.

The melt on the dees board is quite amusing re Melksham. Sometimes I wonder if Dodo trolls supporters, nothing been announced. Having said that, Melksham is established AFL - Hrovat ain't.

Libba comes straight back in, no question's asked, Koby can leave - I see no value in him at all - and Clay first needs to prove that he can stay on the park.

Like that from WCE. A bug bear of mine is clubs pissing around on market value. In this case they liked their guy and paid up for him. Hawks have done it for years

Yep agreed, means they can get other deals done and not waste time squabbling over the difference between 3 draft places.

Any love for #bwingbackbwian here lads? On a serious note, Lake could actually be a good acquisition, if he is interested in staying on for 1 or 2 more years. Still one of the premier readers of the ball in flight and defensive markers.

Did you watch Koby at all. He was easily one of our best midfielders before going down with injury.

You think players care what us muppets say?? Really? They couldn't give a toss and I will say whatever I want about players and am not moronic enough to think coz they were a bulldog jumper they are all brilliant. I am not commenting on him personally and as I said I'm sure he don't give a shite what I think.

All we have had about this bloke is 3 years of excuses and wait til next year blah blah. Good delivery NO!! Good decision making NO! Everything he is supposed to be God at he isn't.

Inside, outside or upside down he isn't good enough and is so far down the pecking order at the dogs he won't even get a chance.

Im continually stunned people still think he can play. I guarantee you if he was at another club you ALL would be saying he is a SPUD

Open both eyes boys it helps you see the full picture

I know, but does he have any long-term benefits for the team going forward? Just my personal opinion, I don't think so, but everyone has a different view.

Let us take a moment to appreciate the hard work and dedication behind this sentence. "Everything he is supposed to be God at he isn't." Wow. Truly inspiring stuff. Everything, every single thing on Earth is supposed to be God. Incredible. Even more so is that this Shakespeare says f*** you to the word 'but', putting in 'at' instead. You sir, have truly opened both my eyes.

Koby is one of our toughest mids and has another 7 or 8 years in him. He's also pretty handy up forward.

I see plenty of value there.

Not sure how Cats still get Henderson and Smith unless players involved. According to AFL rules on future trading: If a club trades a future first-round selection, it may not trade any other future selection from that same draft. So first rounder for Henderson means no more picks from next year can be traded after that. Cats will have to give up player for that trade. Wonder who their priority would be, could we swoop in on Hendo?

Made a spelling mistake.

But well done to you in sure you feel superior now with your attempted sarcasm.
