That's why we're here, yeah?

I was still a kid at 20 (probably at 30 as well, even though I was married well before then).

A couple of generations ago 20 year olds were adults, many of them married, the main breadwinner, setting up a home & even going off to war. Many 20 year olds nowadays are still living at home, studying at uni/tafe, maybe working part-time, having their meals prepared & washing done by mum & are not even contemplating marriage. They are kids.

Beards are big these days.

 

[ForYouBlue]

Does anyone need a reason to do something nowadays?

The peculiar power trip of the demonising “other” that’s all I see

 

[Psychochook]

Brief bit of pedantry.

Once in a generation talent or "generational" talent.

Horribly misused term.

The following current players are eligible.

Natanui
Franklin
Ablett

They are all absurd talents whose athletic abilities and performances stand apart.

Players like Dangerfield, Fyfe, Martin, Selwood are all exceptional but there are exceptional players in every generation.

If you aren't likely to be spoken about like Doull or Carey or Polly Farmer 30y after you hang em up, you're not generational talent

Natanui is not in that league.

Does some flashy things but he's only 'generational' because he's marketable.

Brad Ottens was just as valuable a ruckman.

Apologies mods for being off topic.

[SkyhorseTamer]

we're not discussing their mental development - are you really suggesting you'd say to bolton whilst he stood there with a few young players around him at training (including weits) "so, bolts, how are the kids developing?" what a joke

What you talkin bout. Bolts has described them as kids himself.

 

[TooBlue14]

I thought it was Round 1 next year?

Yep you’re right. I read somewhere he was at 244 but he’s on 243. I guess it’s richmond at the G.

 

[blue healer]

I only own one putter. But i do have 3 sets of clubs sitting in my garage

I've eventually got down to 1.5 sets but still have 4 drivers and four putters (all of them made on Friday afternoons).

You need to get a second putter, the ability to choose another after a bad day is therapeutic.

 

[LanceRomance]

It's part time and being paid peanuts.

He'll be at Carlton full time next year.

Do you know what he'll be doing?

 

[HBF]

‍ It is what it is...

Yeah I 'spose.
Just seems like a waste of time and energy.

 

[HBF]

the entire comp don't give a **** about a strong carlton

I actuallly think they do my very x 10 good friend. TV, attedences, etc go up with a strong Carlton.

 

[HBF]

Someone on Facebook has just mentioned the Cripps has signed on. Has anyone else seen this reported?

Just ignore stuff on FB.

 

[HBF]

Good footballer who is having a really good year, I think he'll sign on with Port Adelaide.

If we're going for an outside player I'd much rather we part with the extra cash required to get Gaff.

Forget Gaff. He won't be coming to Carlton. Reckon he goes to Melbourne if he comes back to Vic.

cove

noun

a fellow; chap
2. Australian history
an overseer of convict labourers

 

[HBF]

About $150000 more than he's worth in my opinion

True, but you have to offer overs to get them out of their club.

 

[HBF]

Enough with the Weitering trade stuff. Ludicrous suggestion.

Exactly.
It wasn't like Rance was a superstar in his 3rd year. Key backs take time.

 

[HBF]

It's happening. As I'm lead to believe, we think the Graham Allan becoming football manager would perhaps be able to facilitate this.

Would certainly help.

 

[HBF]

Contracted for another 3 years, doubt it will be discussed much at all.

Clubs might enquire, but SOS won't trade him.

 

[HBF]

I'd imagine even Jacob himself might crack a smirk at it.

Lets not go overboard.
