    Interesting that he had been warned by Lamb directly of the situation, and then multiple times thereafter:



    A decent person managed by a decent club would have apologised within their statement.
    TF is this?.........Obviously you're not a golfer.

      My favourite is the poster who keeps insisting that Jake is a project player who needs at least two years to hit his straps in Essendon colours. At one stage he asks "what part of the words "project player" do you people not understand? I'd say it's the bit where he's already been AA and played in a premiership...
      They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

        Taken at Pick 5, All Australian, Premiership player, proven match-winner when at his best. Totally fits the definition of a project player.

        The phrasing for "how do you solve a problem like Stringer" fits perfectly. If you hold the last syllable for a while anyway.

        How do you solve a problem like Strin-geer?
        You'd need to make it a three-syllable word: St-rin-ger.

          Tom Williams comes to mind.

              Judd was already out the door, was just choosing clubs. From memory Richmond chased Judd very hard too.

                I think Melbourne were give a shot because they were his club when he was growing up too

                  I don't think it was any form of moral statement by Judd. He'd got his premiership with his mates and their unsavoury ways - no evidence that he'd ever spoken up to address their culture. It was time to come home, earn a squillion, and be a 'Visy ambassador.' This is why, even though his words about Jake ring true, I find his pontificating a bit obnoxious.

                    Obnoxious pontificating. That describes the tone of public debate nicely.
