      We wouldn't have been able to beat either of them once next year with the list we fielded this season.

        So I take it he's still in there?

            So fair and foul a day I have not seen. Let's see what tomorrow holds. Good night.

              Just a reminder with those senior players we finished 14th
              It's a misnomer that we're losing all experienced players

                No it's not, if we keep drafting well and developing well we are more likely to end up like Port than Melbourne.

                  Yeah nah.

                  The improvement next year was going to come from the young guys anyway, Griffen is the only one of the senior guys (excluding Morris and Murphy who at this stage appear to be ok to stay touch wood) who is actually a considerable loss to the side.

                  Minson can be replaced by a combo of Roughead, Campbell, Cordy and possibly a cheap ruck recruit. Cooney is a passenger 2/3 weeks. Higgins is decent but nothing great. Jones didn't even get a game when we were shit. Tutt is a borderline delisting.

                  I think next year we may agains stagnate slightly but after that we will push onwards and upwards, especially if we can snag someone like Boyd or WHE from GWS.
                  I should leave it alone but you're not right

                    I hope the dissidents are happy. You've got exactly what you wanted.

                    Unfortunately for the rest of us the club is now officially up the shit.

                    So, yeah, congratulations.

                      Yay, the tail now officially wags the dog.

                      Hope you're happy Ryan.

                        I wanted McCartney to stay too, but your post is juvenile.

                        As a mod you should be better than this.

                          I agree with you.

                          My opinion is that the dissidents have got their way, and that the club will be up the shit as a result.

                          I'm unhappy about it.

                          You want to call my moderating into question, do it via PM or via admin.

                            Interesting you say that.

                            I tried to PM you recently and it got rejected as your inbox was full. I then addressed you directly on the forum about it and you didn't bother to respond.

                            I don't really care about your moderating or anyone else's for that matter - but if you're expected to act as some kind of moral arbiter then I think it's fair to expect some restraint.

                            I sympathise with being unhappy about it. I am too. But let's focus our ire where it belongs and not on those who just have different ideas to us.

                              My inbox is not full. I'll speak to GVG, may be a technical glitch.

                              As for your idea that I didn't respond, I think you'll find I replied to your post.

                              I'll say no more on the matter.

                                Since switching to the new format I can't go far enough back in my post history to verify that. If you're able to point it out I'd appreciate that as I'd still like to know what you replied.
