Seriously: the best parts of Geelong are nicer than 80% of Melbourne suburbs and that's without taking into account that it's quieter which is of course a huge draw in and of itself.

Ironic considering the Terrorgraph did a lot back in the day to ensure the Bears got kicked out of the competition in the first place.

That's nearly 3 times as many members as the Cronulla Sharks have...and that's a rugby league team in rugby heartland. If GWS are floundering, Cronulla are moribund.

It's all the same shit really, nothing Christian or representative of Christianity about these whackos. They just co-opt pseudo-Abrahamic language for power. And unfortunately children get caught up in it all, see the Struhs family case for similar.

Not at all, it was a sick thing to do and clearly showcases the central danger of Protestantism - that is "sola scriptura" can be used to twist words to justify anything. However to say that this is always in the nature of Christians to do is beyond ridiculous. I'm right leaning, that's like me...

Relocated Vic team would only work in an expansion area. Not in an area where most of everyone already has a team. That said, I doubt it's a serious proposal, just a "I hate team X so they should merge/relocate/fold" sort of thought bubble.

There is a team based in the nicest city in Australia which famously had player retention problems too, to the point they literally had a "go home five", then they drafted someone whose last name was McStay, and he still left as a free agent and headed to Melbourne.

I agree with this. Nothing wrong with GWS. They showed how to develop a good club culture, reasonable on field success, a distinct team identity, and interesting rivalries - none of which their contemporaries GC achieved, all in a much more hostile area. I don't understand the calls for...

A lot of that comes down to the legacy of Super League and News Limited's involvement in establishing the Storm. $L man Ken Cowley was the club's initial chairman after all and John Ribot stayed involved up until 2003. Not to mention News Limited only divested their share in the club in 2013.

Pure talent? Peter Hudson gets my vote and it's not even close. Heck I'm struggling to think of a player from any other club that tops him.

I voted Ross Lyon...and I have no idea how he isn't far and away the winner. I guess people are hating on successful coaches (see Chris Scott)...

Imagine if we didn't draft the fella in your avatar and went with Tambling instead.

And all he got in return was an unfair dismissal suit...30 years of pocketing a paycheque with bottom tier work performance wasn't enough for you hey Dodo? Thanks for Massimo <3

All that may be true about Wallace as a player - but he was an ineffective coach at best, and a toxic personality to have at the club at worst, as evidenced by how he white anted another Hawthorn premiership hero in Alan Joyce when at Footscray. And a break from the old boys mentality is exactly...

What did West Adelaide Magarey Medallist Richard "Dick" Head ever do to you?

Exactly...and as we all well know the strange sacking of Alan Joyce in favour of Peter Knights was the catalyst for our own "dark years". Edit: I was in grade 6 when Schwab walked and I remember clearly seeing banners stating "WE WANT WALLACE". Speaking of "one of the boys", that was a bullet...

Hear hear. My auntie was so taken aback when meeting a teenage Ruth at her work. Nope, I disagree, I reckon it's great. Can't stand the made up names.

It's not without precedent, remember Al Grassby.

Yep exactly mate grass is greenest where you water it. People have no issues putting in all the effort in the world for the school/university/work life but with romantic attraction we all expect it to fall into place immediately.

I don't want to pass judgement on anyone here. But since I tried taking that approach to life, it's gotten much better. Anyone doing cocaine for example? You're out of my life immediately. No ifs or buts. Wish I had that approach years ago instead of waiting until age 30.

Yeah. Remind me again what picks we used on Harry Morrison and Mitchell Lewis?

An overdue hate campaign for the Princes Park tenancy? I can get behind it. Time to do what you do best, Tankers.

Okay, they have a premiership cabinet. We have a premierships cabinet.

I mean, that's about what we got for Buddy too. Always found it hilarious that Richmond got more when they traded Tambling, than what we got for Buddy.

Well yeah, that's just it, people constantly plead for leniency thinking those who turned to crime had no other choice. Heck in my own town I can think of a literal murderer and someone currently on trial for armed robbery, both from two parent households and wanting for nothing during...

Yeah, I don't mind if people attack Dayle Garlett for example, it's a huge mistake that my club ever drafted him.

Hopefully this flog's actions can lay to rest the myth that people steal because they're forced into it. This bloke had a salary that most of us could only dream of, yet he still did what he did. Out of pure greed and lack of concern to the rest of us.

Yeah, some of us still think marriage means something.

Don't be too surprised mate. Those that have a hard-on for cutting teams never think it through.
