Football? Seems to go ok at it. You think he should have stayed an electrician.

Well, it wouldn't surprise me if he's pretty content with that decision.

 

[catempire]

Port are going to do to West Coast what we should have.

The real question is if he gets another contract after this one

More and more players are going to do what he did I suspect.

It's a lot more about how much money x how many seasons, and where, rather than silverware.

We'd all do the same thing if the offer was good enough (personally there'd be a cloud of dust and a "beep beep" if it was me).

Buy them dinner first ?

I just assumed it was family that came first.

That will come when he's playing more for fun and relaxation in the local leagues. Money in the bank and investments, family looked after.

You mean get out to a big lead in the second qtr and then cruise to an easy win. Hang on, (checks notes...)

Camperdown ain’t far from Geelong I guess.

Seriously similar

Kelly got $6 million over 7 years or something - it was huge/fantastic money for someone overlooked in quite a few drafts

He will really irk the Eagles when he retires - because he will say - look my best football was at Geelong you know - hah

At the end of the day his family is well set up for post football…I doubt he will have too many regrets he never struck me as someone that chased career success

Bulldogs are looking great this year. Super list, #1 ruck, Bont is as good as Cripps; they''ll go very deep I think. First time I watched them intently last pm- very impressive, hard to beat.

Who have they beaten? I won’t forget their form before these wins they were terrible

Bont is a genuine superstar. Treloar was very impressive for them too. I agree, they looked great. But Freo are hardly a yardstick at the moment.

Let's go Giants

Ended up winning by 7 less than us
