So what did I win

You can have $100k
or...
the mystery box

 

[Mostyn]

Because not all of us accept mediocrity.

Lol, you dream of mediocrity.

 

[jenny61_99]

When you think about it, we probably have Tex to thank for both players.

Sloane and Dawson also went and saw Peatling too.

 

[Coopers]

I don't think it's that we do remarkably stupid things - it's that we miss out on the small things that other clubs get right. Things like the right coaching panel, or get the clubrooms moving quickly. We're conservative more than we're stupid.

Those aren't really small things though. Those are like... expected fundamentals.

[Crows I Am]

People keep saying port are no chance to get in ahead of us this draft. North hold pick 2 and might part with that to get him

If North are going to trade a pick this year, I'm sure they would split it first. Keep one first for themselves and trade the other to Port.

 

[Coopers]

I'm always dissapointed noone ever wants to have a fight with me.

I'm up for it and I can disagree with whatever you say like an arseh*le.

I'm also not afraid to swear at children and stuff. Come at me bros.

 

[whattagun07]

The box you say?
OK

 

[Mutineer]

You would've deserved it for sure

And you wouldn't of course.

Your user name just makes us all thirsty.

 

[CharlieCrow]

Just joined this evening's conversations. . . How can so many of you turned such a positive event into abuse and threats? Those of you who are indulging in this just spoil it for everyone else.

Either take that back or fight Brett tomorrow in the skate park off west terrace

 

[Coopers]

Your user name just makes us all thirsty.

Well, I'm definitely not up for that.

Unless you PM me pix first

 

[cleanhands]

The box you say?
OK

And why not VERY attractive box’s

 

[Southerntakeover]

Can someone please tell me what me and Sanders are supposed to have done or not done with our future first round draft pick?

 

[spenze]

Happy with this pick up. I watch a lot of GWS and there was a stage this season when I was watching Peatling when I thought that he was just the type of player we should be targeting. Stoked that we did as he is an upgrade on some of what we have had in the middle and gives us a chance to be more adventurous in our player placements.

I'd be even more happy if we are getting some players to explore their options as I think it will be a step in the right direction for the club.

[TBM]

Didn't bite Brisbane very hard. Or Geelong or Port or Collingwood or ...

Darcy Fort is a significantly more capable #2 at AFL level than Strachan

 

[spenze]

I reported Drugs Are Bad Mackay? for being a Collingwood supporter.

I reported George Kramer for sending me a picture of his boobs

 

[Mostyn]

Those aren't really small things though. Those are like... expected fundamentals.

Yeah, that's fair enough.

Shaking ourselves free of our conservatism is probably going to be the biggest factor in us actually becoming successful.

 

[Southerntakeover]

Posters who complain when a thread turns into shit fighting are the worst.

We've finally got a thread with a bit of action after months of dregs, and they want to kill it off.

Obviously you won’t back yourself to push him up a ladder

That sounds more like a Kirky activity

[Jeffcrowe]

Carlton are definitely going to be there about for the next couple of years .. injuries this year shagged the back half of their season

North .. it's just really hard to see in the short term

He's 28

Personally I'd be looking to move somewhere that in the window now

The other thing is cash …. North could back end a huge deal

If they land a couple more decent trades they could play finals from 2026 onwards ( likely 2027)
