Following our exes...................

Re: Following our ex's...................

I love the bit how the change has worked wonders for Daniher. Has it? really? he's one of the most fair weather players there is. i haven't seen his performance or consistency increase form what he was doing at essendon.

Dunks, do us a favour, put a cork in it. the more you speak, the more you come across as a tool.

As for the lions, they have recruited very, very well and should be premiership favorites or close enough to. the only question is going to be if their defence holds up.

Well his 18-20 seasons were so interrupted and poor the fact that he played a full season and then 19 games looks incredible. Still a ways off from his 2017 best. but at least 2 of his best 4 years have been his 2 at the Lions.

Re: Following our ex's...................

I think it's already getting that way. I mean for me personally I would be still enraged that he left a few years ago. I still have animosity towards Callan Ward for leaving and he had lot$ more reasons to leave. It was just that time, it felt like betrayal then. Now if Callan left I would not lose any sleep. I was a bit pissy about Dunkley leaving but I got over it pretty quickly. Maybe I'm not that engrossed in this game as much as I used to be? That could be another reason?

We screwed up the Ward negotiations.
Dunkley has an idealized notion of US player movement which simply isn't the reality in Australia - and I don't think he'll be building 'brand Dunkley' anytime soon as the big names which cross-team followings are generally one club players

The whole US sports comparison that occasionally gets called out just isn't viable here. It's not even remotely comparable. Our players would embrace the big pay packets but not the option of being traded without consent.

We don't want what other leagues have done to their sport. Look at the EPL with ridiculous money for trading players, and only a few clubs can win the Premiership. We have salary cap, drafting and trading which protects all clubs.

I've already got this TV...

Nice try Dosh!

Re: Following our ex's...................

Uuurrrggghhh......I just thought about the dull music he'd listen to without anything other than TV sound. Vommed in my mouth a little.

He really brought his charisma to the table with this one.

I want to give my TV back.

Lachie managed to talk about his old club without denigrating it, take note Dunks.

Brad Lynch missed out on SSP selection after training with the Bombers (they ended up keeping the spot open) but has signed with their VFL team.

He was close to getting there with us but just couldn't find enough of the footy. Good luck to him.

Schache article. I like him & hope he does well, except against us. His manager Trotter says he loved the dogs and didn’t really want to leave but wanted to play AFL.

Hard to argue with a lot of it. I think most of us thought he deserved more opportunities.

I reckon he had plenty and never really delivered. However the Marra frustration I get. Tough one managing the egos.
