LOL another genius bit of recruiting from Melbourne.
Voss was a better footballer than Bailey. What's your point?

LOL another genius bit of recruiting from Melbourne.
Collingwood were prepared to give you their pick 14 for Cameron Wood.
Brisbane in all their wisdom decided to on-trade that pick for Jeff Spicoli (aka Travis Johnstone).
Epic drafting blunder of the century.
Voss was a better footballer than Bailey. What's your point?
No. They were two seperate trades, moron.
Brisbane lose 140k and get a washed up hack
Melbourne save 140k and get Jack Grimes
ROFL
Biggest trade raping of the century. Fremantle would be proud of that one.
So if using pick 14 for Travis Johnstone is an epic draft blunder, then how bad is using pick 1 for Travis Johnstone?
Checkmate.
I think you'll find that players values depreciate after 10 years on the list.So if using pick 14 for Travis Johnstone is an epic draft blunder, then how bad is using pick 1 for Travis Johnstone?
Checkmate.
You are simple. There is a little thing called 'use-by-date'. We got all that we could out of Travis before we passed him onto you as the footballing equivalent of sloppy seconds.
Your "all your could" from TJ was 10 odd years of Melbourne failure, while we were winning premiership after premiership after premiership. And now, you've restarted the whoooooole cycle with wee Jacky Watts.
Check and mate.
And that's the game to Duritz!!!!!!!
And the crowd goes wild!!!!!
Oh, sorry - crowd: that's something that turns up to watch your games and barrack for your team. One day lads, you may see one... but probably not.

Through all of this, Dees fans, you don't need to be angry at us, the supporters of other more successful clubs. You only need to be angry at your recruiters. It is they who chose blokes like TJ at pick #1, it is they who chose wee Jacky Watts, when instead they could've had a bloke of this calibre -
.
Actually we got 6 years of playing finals with TJ including a Grand final, so that can hardly be called a failure by any means.
The question is how many Grand Finals will Trav play in for the mighty Brisbane Lions? Answer = 0. Jack Grimes however will be holding up the premiership cup in 2012.
Game. Set. Match - Stabler

So, don't abuse Rich because you are jealous, abuse your recruiters. Do a Richmond and demand that the recruiters be sacked, or you'll "tear up your memberships". Turn up with a bag of manure or something. Do something! Don't think, DO! Get them fired, because they're costing you time after time after time.
Well thanks for leaving this guy for us then -
Oh that guy's just a STAR. First highlight - he gets a soft free kick and helicopters it through from 20m out. Watch out Brownie, here comes the helicoptering Gazelle!
When we played Port, Jurrah kicked 4 and won the rising star, no biggy. (Jack Grimes won the rising star the week before that btw, a big shout out to Lethal Leigh for that one.)

Pot shots at Liam Jurrah, the most exciting and natural footballer in the AFL? Duritz even for you that is low.
Why don't you give us some more of your Watts material.
Fun fact - Liam Jurrah speaks better English than Butterball Rich despite it being his 4th language.
Liam Jurrah, the most exciting and natural footballer in the AFL? Not even Melbourne supporters think that. He was on Collingwood's rookie list... if he were any more than a flash in the pan do you really think he'd have been let slip by Collingwood? If he were some sublimely skilled "most exciting natural yoghurt in the competition" don't you think he MIGHT have showed some of that at Collingwood? He obviously didn't, because they let him slide. Doesn't it worry you, therefore, that he's just an overnight thing who will fade away quickly?
No? Doesn't worry you? Guess it wouldn't... your club has a long and proud history of horrible drafting & trading.
Brisbane have a history of drafting mouth breathers like Rich. Just look at Vossy and big Johnno Brown. Two of the most incoherent, unintelligible people ever to play the game. And to think they're in charge of leading the lions into the future LOL. I hope their young players can speak bogan-english.
