Bob Rose retired at 27 to chase better money at Wangaratta

Always knew Ben Reid had no originality about him

 

[Pleasedontfail11]

Is Owies even quick or just one paced?

I want to look away whenever he's on screen so I have no real idea.

No pace, no chase and no ground game. He is a 180cm lead up forward that would get in the way of our bigger guys and weaken our defensive forward press.

 

[Pistol Night]

Do I ever! Jon Ralph had a field day.

The campaigner would probably invent time travel if it meant a scoop to shitrag Collingwood

2020 when we lost Treloar, Stephenson (still looked good), Phillips, Atu and our future 1st pick 2) all in dodgy ways. All up they got us a few teen picks and a few in the 20s and 30's. It was a disaster. Cost a lot of people their jobs. Guy, Eddie and Bucks to name 3.

Not sure many cared too much with the stevo transaction, but the treloar one was the worst of them all.
Atu, well he is out of the system and I think just wanted more opportunities at the time.
Phillips was a surprise and I liked him. I think aish the year before, I would have liked to stay.

Broke my dad's heart.

 

[Tarkyn_24]

Get your priorities straight!

Wait, is Poland part of our NGA zone?

 

[LuckyLee]

And they STILL took him back!?!

At the time, Lyon was rumoured to have wiped himself out on speculative share market investments when the GFC hit. Was supposedly near-bankrupt. The Freo gig got him out of a very big financial hole.

As to why the Saints then took him back? Mostly at the urging of Reiwoldt, Goddard and Dal Santo. Looking after their old mate.

Can you imagine a 4x B&F winner retiring at 27 like that? FMD

Life expectancy was probably 70 yrs of age back then.

All we've got to show for it right now is Lipinski!

Hahahaha touche

He did die at 74, so not too off base. But he also played 7 more years elsewhere

 

[Piesinmyeyes]

WCE could just get Owies in the PSD. Carltank can’t pay him.

Might wind up at Nth, in a Marley Williams, pick 120, packet of chips style trade.

 

[Couch Coach]

Ross Lyon had no moral high ground - not long afterwards he walked out on StKilda for a great big pile of Freo cash.

Rumoured at the time that Ross had a lot of debt (gambling?) to pay and StKilda wouldn't pay him any more so he negotiated directly with Fremantle and cut his manager out (Craig Kelly).
Ross left Fremantle under dubious circumstances also.

Luke Ball was basically benched in the 2009 Grand Final (played 28 minutes). So while Ross says Luke walked out on StKilda, he actually walked out on a coach that didn't rate him.

One flag.
You wonder why?

 

[Pistol Night]

Yeah. Hitler was on the VICBIAS train well before anyone

 

[Pie eyed]

No, I was too focused on Hitler invading Poland to worry about Ron Todd.

Post of the year nominee.

 

[Tarkyn_24]

Yeah. Hitler was on the VICBIAS train well before anyone

Sounds like the type of bloke that would want the Grand Final venue rotated.

Yep, and karma ended up biting Ross in the ass. Ball now has a premiership medallion, while Ross can only ponder.

 

[Hardas]

Fun fact:

They actually played for opposing (enemy) teams

- Wangaratta (Magpies) for Reid & Joe Richards;

- Wangaratta Rovers (play in Hawks colours) for Bobby Rose & current premiership coach ex-.Pie Sam Murray.

 

[No SPIN]

Imagine wanting to be CEO of Carlton. Ex Pie premiership player. Yuk!
AFL and Tassie would have offered him monster deals.
He makes me sick.

I think the Pratts and Mathiesons’ are going to eat him alive as they’ve done to every other CEO - Cook may well be another example of frustration with the power plays.
GW is not a political animal, he is a straight shooter and that’s not going to cut it in the Viper pit.

 

[gtrain23]

Patiently waiting for NMBB to give us an update.

Is he usually a good source

Do people really listen to Trade Radio all day every day? My ears are bleeding after 5 minutes

Had 22 disposals and seven tackles in 46% game time. Not quite 28 minutes but not that much more.

You could quite justifiably say Lyon’s approach to Ball cost them two premierships.

What's the thing with the media blackout on Wednesday?

 

[Pleasedontfail11]

My take is that Rioli's value to GC goes beyond footy. They're establishing a second home in Darwin and he is a very good player, an Aboriginal leader and NT royalty.

Well Noble's last name suggests the same. But I suspect his hair colour suggests his ancestors were more the kilt wearing type of royalty. So is he also worth more?
