Always banging on about Geelong, he must have given Boyd and Moz a terrible time when he was coach, rubbing it in.
I just find it hard to read an opinion piece from McCartney.
Hi-gloss paper just doesn't do the job.Wouldnt wipe my a$$ with it.
Wouldnt wipe my a$$ with it.
never say never MD
desperate people do desperate things !
I'd say it in a different way, but I think an opinion on McCartney is something that I can agree with MD on, lol.Wouldnt wipe my a$$ with it.
Just came across an old article while reading abc.net.au (followed a few NT footy links down a rabbit hole!):
Why doesn't the Northern Territory have its own team in the AFL?
When it comes to AFL the Northern Territory punches above its weight — per capita more Territorians participate than anywhere else and it's produced a number of the game's most celebrated players. So why doesn't it have a team?www.abc.net.au
Kobe Hodges at the end of the article - says he's a Bulldogs supporter and was relocating late last year to boarding school in Vic,
to have a better shot at AFL. Anyone heard of him? VitalDread perhaps?
Still playing as of this year
Interesting thanks, just had a look at youtube for the blurb under the video - they all flew back in from boarding school (mentioned by the interviewer at the start too), so wonder if they're all in Vic?

Fergus probably thought he was getting an actual Butler.Press conferences with the draftees all up on the club website. I always find it interesting to see who's living with who, Riley Garcia is living with the twin towers Josh Schache and Jordon Sweet and it seems like Louis Butler is staying with Fergus Greene during the week.
Rookie duties thoughFergus probably thought he was getting an actual Butler.
Bob Murphy refers to McCartney's rabbiting on about Geelong and denigrating Footscray/WB as club in his book Leather Soul. Murph had a heated exchange with McCartney about this and let him know what he thought of him.
Second best list heading into 2020 according to CD.
Behind paywall. Is someone able to post the article?
Champion Data ranks every AFL club’s list for 2020 season and has Richmond on top
DECEMBER 04, 2019
Richmond’s list is ranked No.1. Picture: Michael Klein
“I think their list is pretty good,” former Western Bulldogs coach Rodney Eade said.
“I’m surprised they’re starting at No. 2 but I wouldn’t be surprised if they finished at No.2 because I think there is a projection upwards for them.
“Now they’ve added the two talls (Keath and Bruce), they’ve got a well-balanced squad and you would think a lot of their youngsters are going to improve again.

“I would have thought they would be ranked in the top four or five, but I’m surprised West Coast is not second-best.
“It maybe creates a bit of pressure for them (the Bulldogs), but they’ve certainly got a good list.”
Bookmaker TAB has the Bulldogs as seventh-favourite at $13 to win next year’s premiership and $7 to make the Grand Final.
The arrival of Alex Keath has bolstered the Bulldogs’ list. Picture: AAP
Melbourne was the big slider in the rankings year on year.
The Demons were rated the best list before last season but are 12th entering 2020.
St Kilda sits at No.13 in the rankings despite a bumper trade period which saw the Saints land Brad Hill, Zak Jones, Paddy Ryder, Dougal Howard and Dan Butler.
Carlton has the third-worst list despite the Blues having 12 players in their squad who were selected as top-10 picks in the national draft.
The rankings are based purely on individual talent and are not linked to overall team statistics or system.
Champion Data’s new ratings formula this year takes into account individual players’ output, game time, what position they play, what they contribute to each position, durability and how likely they are to be selected.

Collingwood (third) and Greater Western Sydney (fourth) round out the top four, with 2018 premiers West Coast fifth and 2019 preliminary finalist Brisbane a surprising 11th.
Premiers in 2016, the Bulldogs won eight of their last 11 home-and-away games this year to finish seventh before falling at the first September hurdle with an elimination final loss to the GWS.
However, Luke Beveridge’s team made two big additions during the trade period, securing key forward Josh Bruce from St Kilda and key defender Alex Keath from Adelaide to bolster either end of the ground.
