Insult my genetics, call me an ugly campaigner, but don't you dare accuse me of being a ducker!

Hey I may be ugly and hate filled but.. what was that third thing you said again?

You can model our Indigenous guernsey but not play in it.

We should be going for Milera a million miles an hour

When was the last time he strung a run of games together? Is he basically Orazio Milera?

 

[Enviable Tradition]

Is that normal for them to train at AO so early in the week? Do we do that, or is it just the captain's run? So much for "match sim" - they're playing the Saints at night.

It's hard to do "match sim" when you don't have 18, let alone 36 AFL standard players

in the other direction?

 

[Andre]

You are right, he is 30 but turns 31 in June. My question relates to what would he be worth, IF he says “I want to move to Sydney” as is the rumour. I think Rendell’s suggestion of Papley + Sydney’s first rounder is way over the top.

For it to happen Richmond would have to admit to their supporters they aren't a flag threat for at least 3 years. Maybe they'd be the rare club to not pretend they can contend in the next year or two, despite evidence to the contrary. If so then Dusty would be great if on the flip side your club seriously thought you were a flag threat in the next 2 - 3 years, otherwise a pointless activity, short term limited gain for long term cost.

If we got Clarkson and he wanted Dusty, thinking he'd help get us from 'close, but not close enough' to a real flag chance, then I'd be fine with trading our first and a future first. If Hinkley was still around and wanted him, then no, as it'd be selling the future to save his arse and hope of another contract end of 2023.

Geelong has probably got a hard on right now... 33y/o ******* sign him up!

*Dusty is a gun but at 33 how may more years does he have left?

Let him roam around like an unregistered Dog in the forward 50 and I reckon he’s still got 3 good years in him.
He doesn’t even have to be at his best just him being there makes teammates walk taller and puts the shuts up opposition defenders.

Inside the game: How Carlton under Michael Voss is closing the gaps in Blues' gameplan

It's been a long time without success for the Carlton club but now, under new coach Michael Voss, it looks like the Blues have arrived. But what's changed, and is it real this time? Cody Atkinson and Sean Lawson investigate.

April premiers come on down!

 

[Grave Danger]

Fared better than we did then...

 

[Marmozet]

I swear every single year for Indigenous Round, Collingwood just use their usual jumper and stick a couple of Magpies on it.

Least effort every year.

 

[Schulzenfest]

When was the last time he strung a run of games together? Is he basically Orazio Milera?

No. Milera isn't even best 22 at the Crows when he's fit anymore. At least the ten games Orazio plays a year are good.

 

[Alyx]

I'm sure this will be an easy game to follow...

 

[Jojay]

Seriously, if both teams roll out with black shorts the people running this game are absolute clowns.

 

[NoddyHolder]

Seriously, if both teams roll out with black shorts the people running this game are absolute clowns.

We would be told each year whether to be predominantly black or white, depending on whether we're home or away, and if away, what the opposition are wearing.
Big Malbun clubs clearly above being told what to wear

What would Mark Evans do??

has been charged with trafficking a large commercial quantity of illicit drugs. The retired St Kilda defender was charged with trafficking large commercial quantities of illicit drugs after investigators searched a Bay Road address in Sandringham early on Wednesday morning.

Police seized drugs, including meth and 1,4-Butanediol, as well as a Mercedes Benz which has been alleged to be the proceeds of crime.

Fisher did not appear for his filing hearing on Wednesday evening, as his lawyer told the court he felt unwell. His lawyer, Luke Karas, said that he was “not too sure on the exact nature” of Fisher’s illness, saying he may be “tired, sleep deprived a little bit.”

“He advised me he would prefer to stay in custody,” Mr Karas said. Detective Inspector Craig Darlow of the Trident Taskforce said the bust was a “remarkable result”.

Pity this was announced in the Sir Doug Nicholls round, Dreamtime at the G, etc, but Essington probably want his spot for a mid season draft pick.

 

[Del165198]

Man, there is literally no other sport in the world where they'd welcome back the biggest drug cheat in the history of the game. The turd should have got a lifetime ban from coaching. GWS just promoted him lol

What a dickhead. If every draft you did got a hindsight non biased B or higher bar 1 over a decade you'd pretty much be close to winning the flag every year.
