Nothing to do with fantasy football, it's your 1950's misogynistic mentality that pisses me off and you'd do well to remember who posted the initial post about Dustin Martin finding himself in this mess before you carry on about keeping up with discussions... And speaking of sour grapes, it must still irk you that they gave women the right to vote back when you were still a lad, which was probably about the same time as Melbourne last won a grand final..

AlexRRR Posted December 11, 2015 Share Posted December 11, 2015 Age Saturday morning, Some more tripe on the Martin affair , well its that time of year filler is required this time its about police getting involved to late, nothing new its all been said before. Hawks are most likely to offer Clarkson a 3 year deal with option of a fourth or a straight 4 year deal...speculation of course and unwise, big pay out when it all goes belly up. Nathan Jones holds captaincy...you know that long forgotten team the one that last won a flag around the time of the first womens vote, that all surviving supporters would be as old as George Washington or Bob Hawk, wait.....theres more......you get a set of steak knifes with the towel when you buy a membership. He and Viney were in my GF fantasy team and they played blinders, both pulling in something like 130 points each in that last game....allowing me to beat who ever it was i was playing by more than 100 points.... Bulldogs post a profit, $388,000...good work boys hope the team can keep it up. Son of former Crows coach Phil Walsh pleads not guilt to murder due to mental incompetence, unfortunalty and on a serious note much to much mental health issues go un noticed and untreated, some times that person who is "different" in the work place or social setting is set upon, ridiculed, made to feel inferior because they don't fit in nice and neat. Sydney FC go down to Adelaide United last night 2-1 with a penalty in the 95th min, well once were high flyers playing strugglers ends in coach refusing to give media interview after the game......it must have hurt a lot, Victory to night play top spot Wanderers in what should be the match of the season so far, the Vics coming off a loss weren't complaining to loudly of Wellingtons pitch or similar matching strip, i saw that game the ground look like a cow paddock and it wasn't easy to pick who was what due to similar colour strips. Billy the man who would be king and social climber Shorten caught texting while driving is car down King way Melbourne recently, was doing ok in the tipping last year but fell away around round 14 bit like his popularity, has had some poor media attention in recent times, should now pick up his ball and go home he won't ever get to lead Australia. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BookMan Posted December 11, 2015 Author Share Posted December 11, 2015 Mav Weller gives the Gold Coast a right bollocking... Suns' sacking 'a blessing in disguise', says WellerMAV WELLER has re-signed with St Kilda for three years and taken a swing at his former club Gold Coast in the process, saying he's glad it delisted him. Speaking exclusively with AFL.com.au, Weller did not hold back when asked about his axing from the Suns at the end of 2013, lining up the club and former coach Guy McKenna. Since joining the Saints via the rookie draft, Weller has been right at home, playing 36 games, joining the leadership group and now recommitting until the end of 2018. But the 23-year-old says his time with the Suns was anything but memorable. "I didn't believe I should have been delisted – I thought they were making a pretty big mistake, but that's for them," Weller said. "I'm glad they made that decision. "I don't believe they do things properly, to be honest with you. "I was on edge up there. I don't feel as though a lot of the players played with fear their spot was (in danger), and that's the way I played. "I've gone to a club that rewards hard work. You earn respect and once you've got it you've got it and I've thrived in that environment. It was a perfect match." Weller was an inaugural Sun, taken as one of the 12 17-year-old access selections granted to Gold Coast as part of its list build. He played 32 games in three seasons and despite finishing a difficult 2013 with a career-high 27 disposals against Greater Western Sydney in the final round, was cut. "I had an up and down final year there, broke my shoulder which didn't help, then played a couple of really good games at the end of the year and they said "Nah, not good enough"," Weller recalled. "I was always going to ask for a trade anyway and get out of there because I didn't believe in the club, didn't believe in the coach and just wanted to get out of there to further my footy. http://www.afl.com.au/news/2015-12-12/suns-sacking-a-blessing-in-disguise-says-weller 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sydney had a horror run... 3 wooden spoons in a row... awful management ... inability to retain decent players. A bit of a joke in some ways. But, that is in the past...over 20 years ago now...so not relevant to today so much. Swans have been well run the last 20 years. 13 years of finals. Ability to retain decent payers. Ability to recruit decent players. Ability to polish a rough stone or discarded nugget into a gem. But... complacency is a killer, so i just hope the current board and support staff maintain the high values. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feel free to point out where I laid claim to owning the thread, I merely countered your assertion that I didn't know what I was talking about in regards to Dustin Martin. No one was talking about who started this thread or that thread - it wasn't up for discussion but if it makes you feel better about yourself feel free to lay claim to starting this thread and may we all bow to your supreme intellect and foresight. Good to see you know when women "got the vote" and before you start blabbering into your schooner glass about historical inaccuracies: The Swans have won 5 flags & you're claiming I'm a 15 year old (which is ironic as your grammar is worse than a 15 year old) but then again who am I to be picky about such trivial matters...

BookMan Posted December 12, 2015 Author Share Posted December 12, 2015 St Kilda stopper Mav Weller backtracks on criticism of former Gold Coast coach Guy McKenna Newly re-signed St Kilda enforcer Mav Weller says criticism of his directed at former coach Guy McKenna was taken out of context. It was announced on Saturday that Weller, 23, had extended his contract with the Saints for a further two years, tying him to the club until the end of 2018. In a story on the AFL website, Weller slammed McKenna, who coached the hard-nosed utility during his time at the Suns, which ended with his delisting at the end of 2013. Recounting his final year at the expansion club, Weller said his axing was a "blessing in disguise." "I was always going to ask for a trade anyway and get out of there because I didn't believe in the club, didn't believe in the coach and just wanted to get out of there to further my footy," Weller said. However speaking later on Saturday at a street Christmas party hosted by St Kilda in Brighton, Weller backtracked on his earlier words. "I was just asked a question - how I felt about my last year at the Gold Coast Suns. I just didn't enjoy it, just because of injury, I was a bit out of form and that sort of stuff. There was nothing spiteful towards Guy. "I've got the utmost respect for him, and the club as well. They gave me the shot to live my AFL dream and I'm very grateful for that. [The story] was sort of a bit bended, and it is what it is." McKenna was ultimately sacked by the Suns at the end of 2014. He was recently appointed an assistant coach at Essendon.

Popular Post joboss Posted December 12, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted December 12, 2015 (edited) Farmerjo is a proud Roo; That I know. I am a Weagle. I get to go to more Dockers games than Eagles because my brother in law is a 21 yrs Dockers member but he is a FIFO worker and “unfortunately” the two schedules clash. Haha, he got to go to two games in 2015 so I did the righty and kept his seat warm. Same seats for all those years and it’s nice to see the same folks game in game out over the years. Adds a nice family feel to going to the footy. I must state that I have never sported any of that fuddly purple Dockers stripe and thoroughly enjoyed flapping my Eagles scarf about at the Dockers home derby round 20, 2015. Eagles won by 20 points and it was a fairly quite crowd after the 1st quarter as the Eagles booted 7 goals to the Dockers 1.
