Re: Other Club Delistings 2017 - Any interest.
I love to stick the boots into Barrett as much as I can but he mentioned something about this on trade radio about this today. Not the typical sky is falling bullshit every time something happens with us but I think the word "worrying" was used.Comment

Re: Other Club Delistings 2017 - Any interest.
I reckon Hawthorn have really tough times ahead. They have put a mountain of pressure on themselves with this enormous financial commitment (might be wrong - but thought I heard $100m) to move their HQ to Dingley - and at the end of all of that, they will be in Dingley!!
And during the years that they have to fund the move, history would suggest that their membership and attendances will drop off sharply as they won't have the same success that they've enjoy in the last decade.
I don't think it is a coincidence that things aren't rosy off-field.Comment

Had to delist one of the kids yesterday. I couldn't decide which one myself so I got them to prove how much they loved me. Really it was the only fair method.They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.Comment

Re: Other Club Delistings 2017 - Any interest.
Not true. Barrett has already chased the ambulance all the way down the Monash Fwy to Mulgrave with some inflammatory comments on trade radio.
He is a grub who chases the negative story, wherever it emanates from. Why we obsess over his opinions is a mystery to me - just another dickhead scribe.
What gets me with this type of journalist is their lack of being contrite when they are wrong.
There was some report about a Lions player who was wanted to leave, etc etc. Barrette didn't bother to check with the player and announced it on Footy show I think. Player tweets it wasn't true ( can't remember his name.) Barrett, No apology, just tried to argue he was correct.
Wilson does this as well. She 'broke' the story that Hird had been fired. Went to print, but it it wasn't true at the time. No apology or anything.
They occupy a necessary part of the game but when they try to peddle on field analysis and take themselves too seriously ( FFS do we have to be reminded how many walkley's they have one when they are introduced? ) it becomes laughable.

Is that the idiot Hawthorn president who said that he would like to see us to win a premiership? Good I'm glad. Patronise us...They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.Comment

Freo just delisted Clarke and Griffin. I wouldn't be adverse to one of them on the rookie list; they...aren't great footballers but as a "break glass" ruckman you could do worse.- I'm a visionary - Only here to confirm my biases -Comment

Those poor bastards were just fillers while Sandi was injured. They were never going to get a proper run at it and their development as afl standard ruckman probably suffered.They've done studies you know, 60% of the time, it works every time!
