Just about had a gutful of wokeness

Maybe Heeney should offer to cover it? He should have a bit spare.

I have an idea that may help us improve our goal kicking while funding the B&F stream for fans.

$50 fine for every behind kicked by the team. Payment by the whole team based on % of player's salary.

Total raised $12k (245 behinds).
Average contribution per player $300

Rest can go on the mad Monday bar tab.

Bob Skilton Medal Night will be Thursday 5 October 2023 and the club is planning to livestream. I guess they'll start hitting us with promotion for the event any time now.

Does that mean the players will delay their overseas holiday plans until after that?

Hopefully that will mean we'll get to see the winner(Gulden)'s speech this time.

Probably the biggest thing that irked me last year. It's one thing not to live stream the event. But they clearly filmed the whole thing because they published most of the segments throughout the night later on on Youtube.

All except... you know... the winner being presented with it FFS. Kind of an important one.

Bit rich for my blood! Pun intended.
They have more General Managers than the SCG has cleaners.

The port fans are saying Grundy is high maintenance because he didn't share their footy focused view. I understand him wanting what's best for family as well as his footy career.

Thanks Big Blood. I appreciate light being thrown onto these type of connections and arrangements.

 

[Banyo Bloods]

I think Grundy would be a very good addition to the side.

I have a minority viewpoint re: our best pure ruck of recent decades. I believe it’s Mike Pyke.

His speed and ability to take pack marks around the ground set him apart & helped us win a flag.

Grundy’s strength is more his ruck craft - but as I noted, I think he’d be a good get.

Merit in your opinion reminded me of early form Greg Stafford.
However once Jason Ball overcame his injuries he became integral to our success and gets my vote. Apologies for
The off topic back
To trades.

Nick Newman was moved on because he was too vocal about GLBTI rights.

Finally the truth about Buddy's retirement can be revealed and Mills will be stripped of the captaincy next year....



This is up there with Bradman refusing to tour India. Pure fiction

 

[DobmusEdge]

Pretty sure Dawson didn’t announce his intention to leave till after the B&F.

Correct, but B&F was done very differently that year in middle of covid lockdown. Held straight after elimination final while players and staff all still in bubble I think

Imagine giving Dylan Stephens a four year deal

Imagine selecting him over Caleb Serong, tge inside midfielder we’re crying out for who just won Freos B&F

Can we NOT discuss the past selections yet again, its already been done to death. This is 2023 Trade & Draft thread.

 

[mtooler]

Yeah, sorry, what kind of club do people think is being run here? Do you think the club would set up a mediation then just accept the coach refusing to turn up?

In all information we have about Longmire, what paints him as the kind of irrational megalomaniac he's portrayed as in some of these fan-fictions?

I keep repeating it with Mitchell, but we had to bid on him to get us to choose us over GWS, he got contract extensions well before he'd finished his early rehab stints, he played almost every game in the last two seasons he was with us and got minutes on a midfield group that had multiple AA players as the starters.

What, in any of this, shows an irrational hatred and refusal to work with Mitchell?

His time in the 2s.

Would be nice to keep this thread on topic.

Righto - but does this mean the end of spontaneous references to George Hewett in various threads?
