Thats how they do it in Ireland, any other way would be a sin.

I tell you what, Ben Cunnington wouldn't shirk at getting his nuts cut if it stood between him and a chance at a flag!

And Tohill wants to study medicine. He has to hope no AFL news ever leaks to Ireland.

^ They did in the 2018 Grand Final. Sidey and Pendles were both closed down because the opposition coach (rightly, of course) couldn't have cared less who had the ball as long as they didn't.

It wasn't their faults, of course - it's the absence of alternative top-class midfield talent to play through that causes the problem. I don't mean getting hands on the ball - I mean doing something useful with it once they have it.

Callum Brown and Josh Daicos probably improve that a little but I doubt they make up for Sidey's absence.

Who were the other players who did that? The media did report one or two others were expecting a baby, but didn't say what they did.

Agree, put the selfish little shit on the trade table, im done with his shenaiggns, naked romp in Williamstown, - i wonder what he told his missus bout that !-that cost four games, he let us down there too. Put him up for trade, get what we can, let him piss off to some other club where he can be bloody Father of the friggin year. :x

Going by this year’s form think_positive, half the players don’t mind either way. If they make the GF, awesome, if they don’t, awesome. Just look at our games in recent months, two quarters of don’t-give-a-shit, one quarter of 100%, and the other quarter a mix of both. I think they’d be relieved to get knocked out of the finals and be able to leave the hub.

Personally, I don’t know how to feel about winning the flag this year. If we win it, it’ll be the most tainted flag in living memory (it wasn’t a proper season so it doesn’t count etc). Guaranteed. And it might put us off having a red hot go in a proper normal 2021 season. Lose a final and it might make us hungry for next year. Win and we won’t be taken seriously by anyone. TBH I wish we’d done a Hawthorn and tanked for draft picks


Yeah, blah blah,next year next year, blah blah what codswallop, always the way with some, next year, and next year never bloody comes. This is our time now, and Sidey has torpedoed us, fact. Tainted flag is crap, u can bet the bloody Tigers will celebrate long and hard, when lockdown ends if they wn it, as they might., Punt rid will rock its socks off. Its time our club got more ruthless, enough is enough of this new age crap, my mates son was in Afghanistan, when he had his kid, did not see missus or baby for 10 months. These prima donnas need to harden the hell up. bigtime. :x

I expect the 2021 membership recruitment motto to be:
'This year, we're all putting our nuts on the line...will you?'

Maybe we should recruit Porte.

Elite endurance. Unknown kicking skills.

Just the type to make Nicksters happy.

"Western Bulldogs players Easton Wood and Josh Bruce are both in doubt for the Dogs' elimination final because their respective wives are due to give birth imminently.
...

Tiffany Wood and Pip Bruce are both pregnant. They have been living with the Dogs in the club's Queensland hub however a match against West Coast would mean the Dogs will need to spend a week in quarantine in Perth before the game."

I'm pretty f#cking annoyed about Richmond overtaking us in memberships and average crowd sizes in 2019. Not to mention winning two of the last three flags. Unfortunately thanks to the salary cap and the draft we're limited in what we can do about it and there're no easy answers.
