Every guy is when they date a vegan.

He plays footy like a vegan too

Until the Mrs is out and the boys go to a steakhouse

 

[Ball Dont Lie]

I reckon he bounces back next year close to his best. We need him too. I hope he is the sole skipper if it’s not X or Harry.

Little harsh

Doesn't work if they can smell it.

Or they can smell your breath being toothpaste minty.

"You never brush your teeth after dinner, what did you eat?''

Shit....

I meant at least away for a night

I reckon eating salad with a bit of a heavy dressing can kill whatever steak smell there might be.

Lemon, oils and vinaigrettes are your best friends to get away with it.

 

[amaz199]

Also, as much as Jy hasn't quite been the leader we were hoping for, I can't help but think the completely uncontrollable instability that took place during his captaincy would've hurt his ability to lead.

I still reckon he is not our man, but the heavy lifting was being done by him and pretty much him alone for a while until we injected some young talent.

That's on the club more so than Jy.

Pffft, just go up the street to “get some milk” and get some KFC in your cake hole

 

[ferball]

Who's usage are you referring to?

I'm kind of regretting saying that now but Higgo. I dunno what he was like at North tho. I know people who'd racked up with him at the Dogs.

 

[Works atErrol St]

Happy for him to remain skipper. 2026 Sheezel can take over.

As long as Mcdonald is removed, Jy can captain but should not be considered a safe bet best 22.

Not sure what you mean here Gasometer?

EDIT: I get it now.

For me, I'd much rather have Sheezel spending 2 years learning from Parker as opposed to Jy.

He gets hammered all the time

its in his court, if he plays like thew WCE game hes a walk up starter every week.

Looks a bit like Jy

Starting to come round to the sink or swim solo captaincy thing. Obviously it's precarious with his injury history, but the alternative is Parker or Sheezel, and I don't like the idea of making either of them the official Messiah at the moment. Sheezel knows best, and he says he's not ready, and we don't want to risk a 2023 Tom Jonas with Parker before we've seen how he goes on the field. (Junk-time goals in a GF don't count, aside from showing he can still kick a goal from 45). Jy already knows what it's like to have done heavy lifting and still has tons of good football in him as long as his brain isn't mashed any further

Its not his brain. Stop making excuses for him

Sheezel seems to be a very diplomatic character.

He’s not going to throw his ‘leaders’ under the bus by stating he thinks he’s ready.

But he absolutely is. His actions on the field and what were shown off the field paint a very clear picture.

Absolutely he’s shown it - the argument is for continuity in learning the game. He’s been our best performed player over a 2 year period and has played 3 different roles, half back, half forward and then mid.

I’d love to see him play full time mid next year with an elevation into the leadership group, so he can be that extra voice in the room making comments and driving from within then take the captaincy over in 2026

He is in the leadership group. He was appointed at the beginning of the season. He is our next captain, its just when.
