"How soon into a new year does the annual draft/trade/squad management thread normally get created?" Did somebody say KFC?

.... and the one player that has that firecracker contest, and that could possibly have inspired it in others, just wasn't dynamic enough for Horse's gameplan, nor had the bloodlines to please the masses, slowly had his role diminished until he was deemed un-needed when the whips were cracking...

Imagine the outrage if the AFL called it "Holiday Round" :tearsofjoy:

They were accusations. Accusations Hawthorn weren't willing to defend in court. Only thing that is "ludicrous" about it is sheeple dismissing the claims on the basis of a good-bloke consensus. That same "unquestionable" good-bloke consensus allowed thousands of paedophile priests to wreak...

Kid could be anything or could be nothing, as far as his footy goes, but he's certainly a likeable lad. Go Riak!

Yep. I've gone off him too. Not sure about any alternatives tho. Good discussion topic.

... and our best small forward

Will Hamish be running around with us in the VFL again? Admittedly I found much of last season unwatchable but thought he was one of our more reliable players when involved. Far less prone to fundamental errors and brain-fades than many of our listed boys.

Morkel and Steyn, not appreciating getting clattered by this audacious young Aussie, started bouncing him. "I was batting with him. Morkel and Steyn had a crack at him … It started to get a bit heated," Ponting says in the documentary. "On one particular occasion, Morkel had something to say...

I've had a couple of weird, but nicely juxtaposed, thoughts recently; Had a narrow escape with an angle-grinder the other day and I was thinking how nice it must have been, back when men were hunter-gatherers, not being exposed to the types of injuries that power tools can inflict. A...

That X-ray is crazy.

That sounds a bit snarky but then I read that you made 481 posts in the draft thread. Surely, not all of them, were just moaning about what others post?

caesar88 goes whack! Hard to argue with that.

Nah. Let him go and hope we meet his mob in the GF

KAPOWWWW.... Dutto is so impressive when he puts his thinking cap on. "Mr Dutton claimed the vote put Prime Minister Anthony Albanese "out of step with his contemporaries in like-minded countries, not just the United States." The UN resolution was opposed by the US, Israel, Argentina, Hungary...

Didn't want to lead Coxy's thread off topic so thought I'd respond here. I haven't given up on Adams making a contribution to our top team. Yeah, he is getting on I don't think there is much to go on that suggests he's past it. Some will point at his limited TOG last year as an indicator of...

Geez, that's a bit reactionary. I don't hate anybody. I do dislike people trying to convince others of their knowledge by presenting BS as facts. Hughes didn't need protecting from Dale Steyn. And Quiney wasn't sacrificed to save him from Steyn. End of! Can I suggest, that if you're a little...

It is a moment for reflection hey? I remember exactly where I was when it came over the radio that play had been abandoned, and that it was Hughes that had been hurt. Funny that last week you were happy to paint a not-so-favourable picture of him needing to be protected from Dale Steyn, and...

Yep, and it is encouraging to see signs of life again here, in that some can have a laugh about it. Was worried it might never happen.

Really hanging for next season now. I mean, having high hopes and wanting wins is par for the course, but I'm really curious to see how this handover pans out. How discernible will the difference in playing styles be? Will Cox look to manufacture some "edge" into the group? Is he looking for...

You seem to be suggesting that not all is above board with this appointment? Care to put some substance to it or happy just to imply you've got the inside knowledge again? Happy to take your PM, as seems to be your MO when your credibility is questioned these days. How many of his own teams had...

But you did say you were a toddler in '33. You were still toddling as an 11yo? Explains a lot tho

Didn't you say you were a toddler for the '33 GF?

Yep. They call it The Big Dance for a reason. A festival of footy. Unfortunately, at The Big Dance, only one team gets a medal. As disappointing as it is, ya gotta take something from just being part of it

Quite significant I think that he has admitted questioning his own desire from half-way through the season. While it might not stick out like dog's balls, it's difficult to imagine that that waning enthusiasm has not affected his actions, whether thru subtle bits of body language, his choice of...

https://www.abc.net.au/news/2024-11-20/hawks-settle-federal-court-case-with-indigenous-players/104626612 Seems odd this reached the public domain around 7 tonight. Oh wait... it's draft night? :think:

Ohhh, gee thanks Bedders. I'm no expert, just scratched the surface a little. I'm guessing tho, that to you, most people seem like experts.

Yep. Also, the shared warmth and goodwill, across all denominations and cultures, is greater than any other event I've experienced in my lifetime. But we wouldn't want to expose our children to that... much better to feed them to the Lords of Consumerism and recognising Myer as the best place...

So I've been doing a bit of research because I really don't like people that represent themselves as being knowledgeably superior and speaking like they are some sort of authority on a matter when there is no basis to do so. As I suspected, that research suggests your opinion is not based on...

How anybody can reconcile whinging about kids missing out on a Xmas whatever when 10,000 children have been slaughtered in Gaza.... and that's without giving consideration to the fact that those poor kids might just be the lucky ones that aren't enduring the ongoing atrocities of starvation...
