71 points win for Geelong. Biggest margin for the finals in 2022. Great final series until tonight.

Logue will be a good get for you FJ.

Not a forwards bumhole but a handy defender.

 

The rumoured contract is 4 years at $700 000 which is too high IMO.

 

He wants to play defence and doesn't get that opportunity at Freo.

I would not be chasing Louge with a high price,the recruiters must see something i don't.

Not exactly an A grader.,let's hope he has a breakout year.

The role is taking Josh Walkers spot and i would consider Walker higher than Louge.

He's not an A grader but he buys and sells Walker.

 

He's more of an athlete than a natural footy player IMO.

Played on Jeremy Cameron at the Cattery this year and held him goaless.

 

He's no way near $700 000 if that's correct.

Norf have overpaid enough for spuds like Polec etc.

True FJ. I missed most of the game. I was at a wedding. I checked the score when they were 20 points up in the 4th. Next time I checked it was only 3. Heart attack material. It will be very hard for them net week.

Whoever plays Geelong in the Grand Final will run 2nd. I hope I am wrong but i doubt it.

Be positive............Lets not take anything away from Collingwood...like thats 18 solid players on the ground.....a young team without any real stars.

 

Cats are destined to loose one soon....there been on a winning run for too long...not natural......

 

Swans more than good enough to pull it off.....and Cats play like the Pies..in spurts all you go too do is stifle a couple of spurs and the Doc and scraggy mrs will be happy...

 

Nooooooo sir its not in the bag at all.......and im tipping the Swans, you need to read up on the Law off Attraction Rip....the mind can Will it....

I tend to agree,

Sam Reid is a very important cog in your wheel.

Let's hope he gets up for it.

Mr Fj......be very wary of Clarko....new daming report on treatment of kookie players during his time....

 

$4 flags clouded the real Clarko legacy, the fact they pillaged FA says he was turning the once family club into a NFL team....or Man United...

 

Oh dear what have you got yourself into?

Put your gun back in it's holster Uncle Alex.

Season is almost over nothing to look forward to untill trade fortnight........need to spice up the forum....

 

By the way if you seen Gill's press conference he and his off sider were more than glum and over apologetic, yes yes when your hurt it seems like its the end of the world....but you can make a lot of poo stick too...

 

By the time it drags out its almost start of the season again and the public has a short memory and and and...were still rolling our eyes over the ex Pie and Dee and im still not sure what he was upset about......didnt hurt Buckley's career in the media....only if you drop a bag of crushed up panadol at a casino will you get rubbed out....from the media that is.....like he did say get it tested so its trail by bad reputation.....so Clarko and Fagen as clear then right?

 

Demon Toby Bedford the little Koorie runner who spent half the season on the sub bench is being eyed off by North....so that killed that trade move...

Allegations or not, the sh!t will stick. The rules are black and white and have been for years, anyone who plays fast and loose with Indigenous players deserves everything they get.

Ignorance is no longer a defence.

You've lost me with "fast and loose".

What does that mean?

 

Who said there was any ignorance?

 

Yes, <deleted> will stick.

But I'm not burning them at the stake until I get all of the facts.

 

[sceadugenga]

Many come from a culture where they have to start over in the cauldron of an AFL club, the club needs to be careful in telling them what they can and cannot do off the field, maybe have a panel of indigenous former players to advise them. (Some clubs have this).

I'm certainly not saying that the club should be automatically condemned until the facts are in but the media will see that they are.

Most if not all clubs have an Indigenous welfare officer.

Not sure if they had one in the time frame these allegations were made.

 

Would be interesting to see his account if they had one.

 

This story is massive.

By the way not whispers, its the real brown stuff in a plastic bag...out there in the middle of now where   you are watching the mice eat the rice and not much else to do, no FM radio and a wind up electrical power plant you peddle to get it to power up im not surprised you behind....

 

Gees with all the "healing" thats been going on the last few years and oh im not mentioning Sth Africa here....no we dont mention Sth Africa, this is a double barrel shoot gun with with both triggers pulled aimed at the temple....good time to now go under ground and come out around march 18 2023....

Sounds like a mess.

It seems to me it's alright to attack certain individuals by name but others are hidden behind suicide watch.

Expect Meatloaf to be handed some of the new deal rights as well.

 

[sceadugenga]

... wont be going to North, Hawthorn, Collingwood, Crows.... probably a longer list than that.

[farmerjo]

Wonder if they were players who made the grade.

There is only a few that fit the bill in that timeframe

This guy had a coloured start at the Lions.

Judging from whats written today 2 of the 3 are or were regular senior players or played enough games to say they were, Jordan Lewis says they didnt hear of any of this during those times, Fagan as far as i know hasn't said a word and Clarkson flatly says its not true as far has his involvement in it.

 

Normally as is a case like this the press turn it around and make a sensation out of it, drop hints no names insinuate etc.....Cousin Will the guru of the football thread is right to say lets wait till the smoke clears and see what comes out....

 

 It would be typical of the press if its found that Fagan and Clarkson had no involvement in this, i for one wont be reading to much on this subject untill the AFL bring out there findings.

 

Footnote, the other week ex Demon Jarrha was reported in the press facing charges for an attack on someone...so you know the press help perpetuate a sort of image of first nation people, like no back ground, and really if some no hope white drunk in Alice Springs attacked someone it wouldnt make the news....

Fagan has denied being at the "termination" meeting for want of a better word.

Uncle Alex, what's your take on Jayden Hunt?

 

Unrestricted free agent.

He's got some pace but looks a fraction soft.

Players talk,club functions,gym,locker room,on the track and in the accomadation they share.

If the players didn't know it didn't happen.

Well good luck to Rip and Grant today.

 

I think Geelong will get home by a large margin.

Jeremy Cameron to get the Norm Smith.
