    He was hard as a cats head , his disposal let him down from being elite but he was well above average as a go getter.
    Hope it doesn't become a problem later in life.

Should have kept Koby and delisted HC.

    Hrovat could be the one who stays on the AFL list the longest!

    Will never forget the night where you pretty much played on one leg ( cant remebr the game exactly) , but pretty much won my admiration that night.
    Was that against Port in the NT?

    He gave his all Koby, and gave us good service during a couple of very lean years in 2013 and 2014 - playing 39 of 44 games.
    12 games in each of the '15 and '16 seasons - and had 34 disposals twice during 2016 - so he was no slouch! Just lacked a little bit of decision making & class.

    Shame that his career has been cut short - you would have thought he had 50-60 games more in him for the saints.

    Unlucky for Stevens.

    Looked like he had a chance of having a solid career with us, even when you consider he started 2016 well. He got injured, came back and looked really out of sorts. Quickly fell down the chain.

    It could have ended a whole lot sweeter for him, but kudos on still playing as much footy as he did.

    Well done Koby. You can be proud of your career. Never left anything in the shed and will always be fondly remembered by the Bulldog faithful.

    Quirky stat that burns a little, Jarrod Harbrow and Callan Ward both played their 150th games for their respective plastic franchises on the weekend. Harbrow took an extra season to get there with Ward missing very few games and playing finals.

    The silver lining with Ward is Macrae. Even though Ward would've stayed if we didn't mismanage those talks. I wish I could say we didn't piss Harbrow's compo away on Sherman, but we did. That burns a whole lot more. May as well have given the pick away for nothing and saved on salary.

    Don't undervalue the amazing publicity we received for being associated with on-field racism.
    Nobody's looking for a puppeteer in today's wintry economic climate.

    WTF were we thinking? Must be one of our dumbest trades ever.

    Pretty sure Rocket was a fan of Sherman. Even had Picken tag Sherman in the 2009 semi final. In defence of that, Sherman was starting to look like a real player around that time, and then just fell away dreadfully.

    I recall that Rocket had the casting vote. Against that was the fact the people of earth voted him second biggest current dickhead in the AFL behind Akermanis. And true to form the first time he opened his mouth after the trade the club made him apologise. I’m not sure the no dickhead policy is equally applied sometimes, especially here.

    Pretty sure Sherman didn't even finish the warm up of his first training session when Rocket gave him a serve... doing a warm up lap of Whitten Oval with his short off and showing that stupid necklace tatt he had recently gotten inked just before his transfer to us.

    I thought that was Macca that had a go at him.

    Training without shorts on should have been a pretty big red flag right there.

    That was Bmac. He told him he wasn't tough enough to get around with no shirt when he stripped off for the media who'd just arrived.

    Not sure Eade particularly cared about player behaviour.
