Get off his case. Best wishes on your wedding day Stewie.


Now if it's not to much to ask? Can I have your GF ticket Stewie as I assume you'll be off honeymooning :'(
If stew hasn't rescheduled his honeymoon flights so he can watch the game live he actually does deserve to be delisted.

How have I oversold it? I never said he was a champion or anything like that. He's a terrific player who had a lean trot during the season and is playing terrific footy again.
I'd seriously suggest the knocker brigade oversell some of our players weaknesses to be honest.
I don't think it adds much to classify people into a 'knocker brigade' because they disagree with you.

It would be like calling all the folk who overrate our players, fan boys.

Not constructive IMO.

Enough to say we differ on our assessments of Tory. All the best.

What are you on about? Now is the best time to trade for proven quality because our flag window is open. This is exactly what Hawthorn did, and were hugely successful with.

Nobody is saying we should trade our first rounder for crap, but if a quality player that improves us becomes available, we should be prepared to offer any of our picks.
That is why I said “unless its for superstars.”

Last seen cleaning out his office after a terrible whiteboard holding effort lost them the grand final.
It was terrible. Eyes were unfocused, board was shaky and kept internal monologuing about his next bigfooty post.

I don't expect people to agree with one another all the time. I do think some of the insults and adjectives used to describe our players as excessive.

Then you're just stating the obvious. Even then, it depends on your definition of what a superstar is; to me it sounds like one of the best players in the competition.

I'd gladly trade our first round pick (which is end of first round) for a player who isn't a superstar, but is capable of making a big contribution.
