Posters showing their age when it comes to haircuts!

Say l disagree with you.
Never judge !!!!!!!!!!!!
Because at the end of this journey here on earth all of us will be our own judges on the other side.

You really need to read poster history before getting involved, many on here have been agreeing to disagree on countless arguments for near on a decade. It's all good mate.

Just for the record, the Richard Dawkins thread is the next one thread down if you free for an hour or so. Good luck with the after life and "shinboner" spirit world.

Only the penitent man may pass.

How did he end up a rookie? He is a pure footballer.

His gather and goal from 50 against Geelong was sublime. Loves to take the game on. Raking left. Long run and goals. One of my favs for sure.

Didn't fit the 'cardboard cut-out' profile.

Even from those I don't have an answer so I may need to dig deeper.

How good was "Fridge" Roberts?

Made it down to have a look at training today, the guys did some drills with their lines, then went into about an hour of full ground game play, and finished with two twenty minute circuits with small sided games and different types of running intervals. Looked like a pretty tough session with good intensity during the game play and the boys all stuffed after the circuit.

Ziebell, Cunnington, Wells, Atley, Dal Santo all looked very good in the midfield.
Currie, Petrie and Black strong up forward (Currie taking a lot of grabs), good crumbing and defensive pressure from Thomas and Nahas.
Thompson and Delaney the best of the defenders, Firrito, McMahon and McDonald good too. Delaney very impressive for someone who has been in rehab for most of pre-season, looked significantly bigger and stronger than last year and very fit, showed good touch considering he hasn't been training with the main group.

As well as Delaney Daw, Tarrant, Grima, Mullett and Greenwood all involved in the game play too. While they each had some impressive bits of play (couple of good marks from Grima and Daw), most of them looked pretty out of touch (except Delaney as I said). All look like they will need a few more weeks before they are ready to play.

Rehab group looking pretty small. Swallow did some running over about 100 - 120m, looked to be moving fairly well - not sure how long he has been back running? Adams and Hansen doing some running intervals off to the side. Asked one of the staff about Hansen as I hadn't been aware of any injury, said he was just had a minor incident in training on Monday and would be back training next week.

I know a few clubs overlooked him because of the yuck surname.

Too much for their achy breaky hearts ...

Nnnnggghhhhh....!

Thanks for the report.
Always nice to hear any sort of feedback when someone is able to head down & catch a bit.

Could Currie be the surprise inclusion to start round 1? Sounds like he's doing more than putting his hand up.
He's putting two up, marking & kicking goals.

Hopefully Hansen isn't anything serious.

Good for the skipper too.

It would seem that Currie has been told that if he is waiting for games as Goldy's understudy, his debut may not be until around 2017 the way Goldy keeps on keeping on. So he is making a case as a forward-ruck. And from the sounds of things, making quite a good case too.

The 60m spearing lace out **** high pass from Duck to to leading Longmire early on. Jesus could that bloke play footy.

Also love the little kid giving it to the Scum supporters after that goal.

Saw that and wondered straight away whether that might be someone on here?

Shit, that was over 20 years ago and I can still recall how good that last quarter was.
