The edgewater issue is rubbish. I would support a ban on all pokies, but to block the move of a relatively small number of machines, just down the road, is a joke. This is especially so when it is to the detriment of an organisation that is important to the community (although i think the...

When nominating a price for the draft, i think the average goes toward the TPPs, to avoid this manouvre being used. So your 900k total deal would mean 300k per year, not 600k then 150k for the next two.

You missed pick 6 which we also coughed up in the Veale trade. 6 19 20 34 in the ND and 1 in PSD in return for 4 guys who were gone less than two years later, and Peter Street. Sadness.

He would be a great acquisition. Who are these masses of medium forwards that make someone of O'Keefe's quality unneded? Johnson: old and plays much closer to goal, Welsh: old, plays much closer to goal, and couldn't get a kick for the last third of the season, Hahn: has an old body, plays...

Re: Streets value? We've openly said we're not renewing his contract. So, any interested club knows he will be available for nothing via a draft. If a club wants him, and is worried about him being drafted somewhere else, they will try to arrange a trade deal with us. If this happens, it...

Nice year for long term footy bets. :)

You're right, and from what it has been reported that the Dogs bloke said the next day, he seems to agree with you. I have seen plenty of hotheads at the footy that lose control and start wanting to punch-on over the slightest bit of banter. That is simply not on. Having said that, it is...

Danny was one of my favourites when i was a youngster, but you are getting carried away. The most he ever kicked in the home and away season was 57. He had a productive finals series that year though (3 finals), and ended up with 70, still far shy of 96 though. That was by far his best...

Surely this report has been thrown out by now. It would hurt us to lose him, but the idea that we'd simply have no chance without him is a gross over statement.

I see what you're getting at, but really, don't you think ;;;;;;;;; ?

No idea how you got to those conclusions by anything i have written in this thread, or anywhere else, but just to make it clear. I don't have anything against Smorgon. (stupid thing to suggest) I understand what he said. (its very easy to understand) I just have a different opinion...

That's the second time you've made that assertion, and it is utter rubbish. The only people who would bother to pay any real attention to and dissect anything the President has to say about memberships are the ones who are already die hard tragics who buy memberships every year.

Dougie4Eva, i remember that article from Bobby. I quite liked it because i thought he really showed some insight into what supporting a footy club means to the 'year in year out', 'through thick and thin' type of supporter. Unfortunately, not all people who barrack for sporting teams make that...

You didn't state that that 'fact'. You may have been trying to infer it, but what you actually stated was 'welcome to 3 weeks ago'. That is a cliched line which is usually used as an insult. Perhaps you didn't mean it that way, but it is understandable for someone to take it that way...

We've lost a lot of nuetral charity members to the roos this year, whilts i have read that Melbourne's figure is inflated by a $20 membership they offer to MCC members. Anyway, its absurd to suggest that someone is fickle if they choose different forms of entertainment from week to week or...

You can't pre book level 3 for this game. Your newsagent probably doesn't know that, so 'sold out' just means 'not for sale'.

Thats actually how it came up at the ELC, because he had already written the article about it. At that stage he said the HUN weren't keen on publishing it. I wonder if he had to make some changes.

I saw people saying Ray should get dropped in another thread. Thought i'd check in here to see if there were many other people thinking the same. It appears that there are. He played on Travis Johnstone, one of Brisbane's most dangerous mids, probably their best ball user, and a quality AFL...

What is with all the references to dropping Farren Ray? He played a defensive role on one of Brisbane's most dangerous mids, Travis Johnstone, and kept him to 13 possessions, whilst getting 22 of his own.

You're brave. :D

You need two rucks, and he is our second best ruckman, so he is definately worth his spot. That he has to play forward a bit says a lot about our lack of options. At times this year he has done really well at being the deep aerial contester. At other times he has been a bit of a liability...

Who did the voiceover? Very sexy voice. I'd like to meet that guy. Peanut's cameo stole the show.

'Third tall' types are exactly who is torching him though. It's not like he is getting the massive job on big name opponents. Ryan Gamble was a last minute inclusion for a running player (Wojack), and would probably have been listed before the game as the Cats 5th or 6th most dangerous forward...

If a footballer (or someone else assocciated with a club) saying some hollow, meaningless, cliched things in the media is reason for debate, then this argument will come up on 10 threads a week, and that's just for the dogs board.

Spot on. He is not getting any seperation on his leads. It makes him relatively useless as a deep forward because he is much too small to have the ball kicked on top of his head in the goal square all day. He would have played up the ground a lot more this season anyway, but his injury have...

The end of that game is the worst umpiring i have ever seen at AFL level. I can't remember specifically the goals before it (but i think dodgy frees played a part in them as well), but the last goal went something like: Dodgy free to Crows out of the middle, kicked forward to another dodgy...

You gave me a good laugh. Good stuff Xie. :)

Apparently it is just a means for them to track how many tickets they have sold.

But my GA tickets have seat numbers... :confused:

Davey has kicked more goals and had more possessions against us than any other club. Admittedly he's played against us more than any other club, but even on average his numbers against us are very close to his best against anyone, and he did get injured relatively early in a game against us...
