We've won 4 Mclelland trophies, when they weren't worth a pinch of salt.

Now its worth $1 million. Last year was the first time they handed out $1mil and Melbourne won it.

So that's what Caleb Daniel looks like!

Except they are hiding his booster seat like they do in Tom Cruise movies

 

[Grave Danger]

North will do that to you.

Poor bugger still has to get through life with the name Jaidyn.

 

[Willsy10]

Where in that article did it say he has left Port?

All it says to me is that he has left 7 ( doesn't mention 7) to go and work with the Fox Footy team. Doesn't say he will be Melbourne based. Maybe they are finally giving Roo the flick.

Roo is a better commentator than Burgoyne

The early fancy to finish 10th.

Another ringing endorsement for The Hinkley Program™

I've got a bet on with my brother in law. We both had to predict where we would finish. I predicted 7th, he predicted 12th which shocked me, lol. So if we finish 1-9 I win the bet, 10-18 he wins. Only a bottle of red on the line so not high stakes but adds a bit of interest to a year I'm not looking forward to.

 

[rogerjames]

****in hell Hok are overrated. I wouldn't be at all surprised if they missed the 8 next year.

They're good but also think people are overating them. Expect them to drop off a little bit next year.

 

[Ford Fairlane]

Are they frigging serious? Yeah she shoved her, but to say she shoved her deliberately into the umpire is madness. Mind you, Port player, life ban even if she was the player being shoved.

It feels disgusting that they are blowing $1 million on this ridiculously badly designed format that literally nobody cares about. The fact it might just go to Hawthorn who might win it while not needing the $ and actually winning nothing of value is also awful.

If they really wanted to promote the women's game they could have just given that money to the grassroots women's comps.

Ive never heard of any of those people

Walking away from $500k ? Something stinks.

They offered the gig to Mark Aiston first, but he wanted to maintain his integrity.

 

[EskimoPAFC]

Ive never heard of any of those people

Not even Sam Tugwell? Tugger! The Tugmeister Deluxe!!

(nah never heard of him either)

 

[Willsy10]

Lol Jack Hudson

YEAH HEAPS HUGE

 

[Willsy10]

Tugwell by name Tug very well by reputation.

Special needed to be in quotes.

 

[tribey]

Lol Jack Hudson

Him pandering to Crows fans on Twitter while mentioning 119 every thirteen seconds remains the worst thing about that platform.

 

[Ford Fairlane]

Lol Jack Hudson

He's the only one I've heard of. Maybe Tugwell but not sure if that's as a noun or an adverb.

 

[Steve Dore]

I assumed Tugwell was a made up name and an attempt at adolescent humour.

 

[Coobk001]

McClelland trophy should be limited to the Mens comp and the prize for winning it should be like that $1Mill.

We don't put anywhere near the value we should on a first place finish. It's not as great as proving you can beat everyone on the biggest stage of finals, but it is a massive achievement in its own right and our 4x1st places finishes should be held in higher regard.

Am I meant to know who any of these fat bogans are?
