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

Looking at Geelong and us at the moment it’s a good choice for Luke , more money , longer contract and they are certainly a chance to win a flag in the next couple of years.

Chris Grant has helped out last couple of seasons but confirmed as the coach of Spotswood under 18's Girls next season.
Daughter is a chip of the old block and almost guaranteed to be a Father-Daughter at the Dogs.

Lol.

Premierships are why you play park football. Professional football is more complicated than that.

I bought my first house when I was 31. Paid cash and owned it outright, I've got two now but give me a premiership medal anyday.

Good on ya mate, it's not all about the cash. I would have given anything to be good enough to play for our club.

Really? I don't see Geelong as close to a flag at all

Agreed. And imagine the death stares he's going to attract from the Wonder Twins every time he sprays it.

I don't either. They've finished low in the eight and expect them to be bundled out in the first round of finals. Their top line players are ageing badly and there's a cliff edge awaiting them.

Dahl will largely play in a team which is caught in mid table no man's land, but he'll. e well paid, secure and close to family, I guess. We're closer to a flag than Geelong. Beveridge is building - whereas Scott's simply clinging. Scott's all about his own W/L record. Beveridge is about building his group to climb the mountain.

I guess Dahl's already climbed the mountain and wants security. That's been evident in his footy the past two years, btw.

I heard in the media people saying he was a Cats fan as a kid. That is not true, he was Essendon.... That's a character flaw, right there!

I don't know what you do TD and how you made your money but I suspect that for some blokes AFL is probably the only way they'll be able to replicate that feat today.

Fixed that for you.

Cricket was my real passion. Anyone who could organise for me to open the batting for Australia in a Boxing Day test is more than welcome to both the houses, although my kids might not be so keen on the idea...

I was just a commonwealth public servant. I guess being a baby boomer (I just snuck in to that generation, I was born in 1964) made it a little easier but then again there was an expectation that you would own a house back then. If you rented (to quote Paul Keating about living anywhere than Sydney) then you were just camping out.

Fixed that for you.

I've had troubles with that as well.

Grigg with back to back Magarey Medals. 25 years old, wonder if anybody will give him a second chance at AFL level?

Wikipedia suggests injury and form were the reasons why he couldn't crack the AFL. I can't remember him, what sort of player was he and why didn't he make it?

From what I can tell he is a well skilled inside mid with an excellent kick. The knock on him is a complete lack of pace.
