      Heard it on SEN - it was great stuff. Love him more than ever now! Didn't realise he had a family connection to the Doggies, either!

          Not sure as I don't follow all the players. The point is they made up their mind half way during the year and it wouldn't matter who performed better. ( that's how it feels to me.) As previous posters said, the system is flawed and needs over hauling.

            Whether the system is flawed or not, I have no issues with the winner, having watched a fair bit of the Suns, this kid is s freak, a rare talent.

                I feel very assured with Brendan as coach, an incredible person. I haven't always been the biggest fan of some individual decisions on players, but my trust in him is on the up.

                Who thinks the young player he was texting was Luke Dahlhaus?

                      I thought JJ, but Dahlhaus sounds about right.
                      Our 1954 premiership players are our heroes, and it has to be said that Charlie was their hero.

                        I thought it was Mitch, but only because tomoz seemed very Napoleon Dynamite.

                          Mitch is too well spoken and too sensible to text 'tomoz' to his coach. My money is on Dahlhaus.

                          Who was developing bad habits midway through the year, then improved?

                            Dahlhaus is the obvious one, but you could also make the case for Stringer. I don't watch Willy games, so can't comment on the rest.

                              Just watched the speech.

                              All you can say is WOW
                              Life is to be Enjoyed not Endured

                                Amazing speech. You can guarantee that speech and exposure of Bmac has just lifted our desirability as a football club when it comes to free agency and trading.
