Just makes a mockery for those with real issues.

Health issues dissipated as soon as soon as the trade went through.

Possibly the biggest sook I know. Will want to return to GWS shortly on account of winning-sickness

Apparently Collingwood are shopping Greenwood and Aish around. Not much love after 2 years for Greenwood and 1 for Aish.

If true that is very surprising. Aish really came on late last year.

Hahahaha

Literally. Nobody should ever listen to him in regards to AFL. For all his 'contacts' he has very little knowledge

Pies board suggests as much although getting rid of Greenwood for a pick helps with the points needed for father sons.

Trading Aish makes no sense.

Go to America. Go to Europe. Hell go to New Zealand.

They. Dont. Care. About. AFL.

Wouldn't know what it is.

It is a boutique winter sport played predominantly in the southern and western states of Australia.

To get traction in the most states with the highest populations the AFL has had to invest untold millions, relocate existing clubs and create monsters through concessions - and they still get sub par crowds to 3 of the 4 teams they sent there.

I love the sport but seriously who gives a flying **** if it is an "international laughing stock" with the 4 Yanks that are not expats that know about the game.

I am vastly more pragmatic than to wax lyrical about the hallowed names blah blah that have won the Brownlow.

All of this shit might have meant something when the sport was "amateur" in its own way but let's not delude ourselves. This is a business and it is money driven. You really think all those guys were lily white you named? Shit, a lot of old time enduro cyclist were high on coke to keep them going. Bet it was rife in the AFL as well back in the day. It was in league.

The funniest part about the Bombers doping is it obviously did not help them. Hell it probably hindered them so good on old Jobe, the SJW freak,for winning it with some bad shit in his system. Heck of a job.

I mean really. We can be sanctimonious or realise that pretty much every week all teams send out players with pain relief and other aids to allow them to play when otherwise they couldn't. It is only arbitrary guidelines that make something "prohibited". How pure do we need to be with it? Performance enhancement occurs anyway legally.

Anyway all meaningless to me.

Dude played ok and won a medal. Cool.

He and the other morons at that club who went along with the "program" got caned. Punishment has to end eventually.

Do we really need to skin the poor bastards and wear it like a cloke forever?

I apologise I thought you had thought this through. Actually international standards are relevant to the AFL. Federal Government assistance is dependent on the codes compliance with WADA standards. WADA rules require the stripping of awards. WADA nailed Watson with their appeal. And Bob Skilton was on coke while riding his bike to the Lake Oval??? WIBF

Sigh.

Whatever. Seriously. You got I said Skilton was on coke.

Best to leave it at that because being verballed is pretty boring and ultimately intellectually lazy.

At least the runners up have the right idea and don't give a toss about it. Pretty much as I do with this whole topic and puerile arguments of righteous indignation.

pretty similar to the retiring swan, accumulates but doesnt really hurt. Has to work on his snorting skills though

Watch for Fremantle to be a bolter in 2017 bottom 4 draw along with a fit Fyfe, McCarthy, Kersten, Hill and Bennell.

Still have Lyon as a coach.

Will win a lot of games I reckon but ultimately splutter out when it matters like other teams we are familiar with

Pigs fly too.

If they are relying on McCarthy and Kersten they are in more trouble than they think. Fyfe will take time to come back too.

Yer but thats 5! quality inclusions and there is noway they will get as many injuries like they did this year, i reckon they are gonna bolt straight into the top 8.

Reckon it's pretty rare to see you hating on another poster or angry mate. Hope you're day gets better from here.

You forgot McCarthy 2015 season, Kersten is more than handy as well.

Yes McCarthy played well as the 2nd/3rd forward! He's not a primary forward. Kersten is average, Geelong wouldn't be showing him the door otherwise.

Geelong recruiting has been pretty spasmodic lately they got rid of Johnson who is still playing at a great level, they have to many talls in that side Kersten still has a chance to become more than decent played 17 games for a output of 22 goals.

I'd be worried if I were relying on a bloke averaging just over a goal a game. The point is though none of the Freo forwards are primary ones. Even if they get Tarranto in the draft he's not a primary forward.

You still need an actual key forward to do well.

They are 3 years away.

if lewis leaves hawks, you can almost be certain they have a commitment with fyfe

Not listening to Trade Radio Lewis is leaving?

Nothing would shock me and they will trade him for a packet of used twisties as usual

That's the current rumblings. Lewis to Melb.
