Happy with the Dow pick-up. Will cost very little and helps fill the midfield age-gap we have.

At worst, he's a capable back up. Hopefully we get his best as a clearance mid who can burst from stoppage, which we've been lacking.

My blues mates are deliriously excited to see the back of him.

Yet mine are sorry to see him go…

Is there any evidence outside this Forum we are interested in Lobb?

Things of f'kn beauty, especially with the 5th metatarsal broken in three places.

Had to troll through my old photos for this so enjoy

Walked 10 ks on it the next day through Edinburgh. Felt like I was in one of those drug fcuked scenes from Trainspotting.

Maaaate, you've made plenty of cash, why not just toss it in. You really want more of those cold water recoveries in the middle of winter? Really want the big pre-season coming up?

Head for sunnier shores at that time of year.
Come on , you know you want to, eat what you want, plenty of beer.

You want to be still young when you hang out with those french chicks on the beach in the south of france.

I thought you must have kicked a brick wall when you heard Lobb was coming to the Saints.

Happy with Dow. Finally we an athletic big bodied mid to compete in a league that’s full of them. I think like Jones the kicking stuff gets overblown, he couldn’t kick it any worse than Steele and Crouch did this year. Can see Ross using him to run with the big bodied mids of the opposition at stoppage rather than using Steele which is a big win.

 

[Yawkey way]

I actually think Windhager is the most ready to go on ball. Phillipou and Owens I think are a bit further away. Windy got his possession count up when he moved to HBF around mid year. He's a bit forgotten because the other two have a bit more of an eye catching game but Marcus could be first to move to a pure on baller.

Ok I’m a heretic but I’m sorry I don’t rate him above any other fit and ready to play young guy. He’s shown he can tag but other than that he’s bog average imo.

 

[kernelT]

Thats your first problem, you have Carlton mates. Do you have no pride?

Alright fine, extended family… didn’t want to admit it, but here we are.

Everyone knows I don’t have any mates.

 

[Yawkey way]

Now for the cream

GET THE SHEIL DEAL DONE!!!

Laughably he’s better at what he does than any mid we currently possess.

‘ I can’t ever remember seeing a worse kick in Navy than Paddy Dow and I so wanted him to be a gun - can find the ball though’

Thought they'd look worse tbh. I like female ones. Pedicured. Red, Black, White (just coincidence they are Saints colours hehe) or French for the toes. Nice arch. 2nd toe smaller than the big toe.

I give this one a 2/10 unfortunately (and a week suspension)

My blues mates are deliriously excited to see the back of him.

Looking through their board there's a lot that seem to rate him. Saw this for example:

"Fair comment, previously was right but I feel he really worked hard on it. I don’t think many people realised how hard he worked on his tackling, repeat running and skills over the last pre season and IMO he greatly improved these areas this year. One of the biggest improvements in a player I have seen.

Sometimes I just wonder if coaches, once they have an opinion of a player, struggle to change it

I personally believe Dow went from a fringe player in 2022 to what should be a Best 22 in 2023. He brought a point of difference we didn’t have. A mix of Cripps Hewett/Kennedy Walsh Cerra Dow is as good as any

I was a Setterfield fan but wasn’t overly fussed when traded last year as we had so many of his type. Dow is different. Not better just different

My take is we have focussed too much on some weaknesses as opposed to strengths

I think he will be a very good player for Saints for next 8-10 years"

Can you at least blur the toe nails out next time? I'll have nightmares about that tonight.

They show pics of Joffa's feet to footsie-perverts to reprogram them. Maybe get him to send them to you.

Yeah, I had a look at Essendon's board, pretty much 20 of me on there.

Yup, here is one being re-educated at the Chery camp.

There's a points thingy?
Is this separate from the points you accumulate for posts and length of service and likes etc?
