If either Tarranto or Hopper look to be in our Top 5 in the BnF and GWS heads where we all think they are headed, then there will be calls for a royal commission on how we were able to get them both in 1 trade period.

Rule changes incoming. Seriously tho, they are asking the wrong questions already, Karen has already asked this very question on radio during trade time. What they should be focusing on is how on earth did GWS manage to screw up their cap so badly & how the person(s) responsible for it still in their current position. Until this happens Clubs will be a rabble for a longer period of time through no1 else's fault but their own, only to put their hand out to be bailed out via Priority Picks.

As for the salt mine, it is indeed going to be glorious & i simply cannot wait. 62 sleeps as of friday

every generation of older people has said similar. And just like every generation, the kids will grow up fine.

This!
I remember working with my dad, after school around 1980....we installed ducted heating and cooling.
I found some old newspapers that were from around 1910.
One of the articles that jumped out at me, was complaining about the kids of the day and how they were growing up lazy and entitled lol!
Same thing every generation.

Pretty sure there was a letter to the editor from a while ago where someone was complaining about Kids working in school with paper and not learning to write on Slate. I am close to 30 and I can't wait to start to complain about kids with their new fandangled technology and their widgets

The AFL wanted GWS to succeed so bad they gave over generous priority picks at the start that the salary cap pressure was always inevitable down the track.What peevs me off and while we gained out of it this year the mere fact that the plastics can afford to give away former top 10 picks and replace with fresh first rnders until the cows come home.
Thank god they have a shit culture on field.

This has been happening since day 1 with them, Glad we got something out of it. It's almost like karma has righted the wrongs of a decade ago when we got bugger all out the draft when we most needed it.

Only been happening for thousands of years. Every generatino complains about the modern youth being so much more crap than they were.

What is the oldest authentic example of people complaining about modern times and the young?

There are quotes, attributed to a king of Mesopotamia, and to Socrates and Hesiod, about how lazy the youth are, and how things were better when they were kids. Unfortunately, the veracity of the q...

I complain about them not being lazy enough. I was making mega bucks punting against my generation and older until these next generation campaigners came along fishing my waters more successfully than I do.

Still, I’d love to see some of the lazy good for nothing campaigners dig 40 stump holes in rocky ground one out and man alone while crouched under a house with a shovel as their only tool in freezing temperatures with a lovely refreshing southerly averting any possible danger of them over-heating.

Yeah. Got to say they live in a foreign land to me sometimes - social media etc.

But the life they live is much harder than what I faced. Do a uni degree and you've pretty much got a job. Nowadays, you've got the opportunity to fight to be an underpaid wage slave in an insecure job.

Anyway, I'm just a grumpy old man who really wants to retire early because ... well i'm nowhere near cynical enough to face the world as it is, SHocking and all.

Used to be called gadgets not flipping widgets.
Kids these days.

in the fourth century BC, Plato was heard to remark: "What is happening to our young people? They disrespect their elders, they disobey their parents. They ignore the law. They riot in the streets, inflamed with wild notions

Can't have a top 10 pick unless you finish 9 ~18. If we bomb out this year then our first rounder might be top 10.. Going to be lots of death riding going on twitter.

10 years after this was proven to be a made up story, flogs still trying to be funny heroes.

Not funny. Not a hero.

Quite the opposite you fat ****.

We simply can't allow that to happen under any circumstance.
