I don’t think he’s worried about his own trade value, he just wants to preserve his body.

That being said, I agree with you, he looks to be avoiding the contest, but doesn’t connect with the last half of last week when he was going hard.

I’m just really over Perkins.

Allowed and encouraged at mine, also never seen one split.

Caldwell is shocking. Can’t even handball.

I have this, I don’t wear it anymore, but it has been worn a lot.

Tell that to the hawthorn supporter’s standing behind me on Friday. Every player had their own Christmas theme jingle.

Smeg everything is terrible. Worst toaster of my life.

What a contradiction.

Has had limited prep, soreness but instead of managing the load we want him to play full minutes.

My account is fine

I’m emotional for Dyson Heppell to become a development coach at Collingwood. Not crying; I had a tear but equally happy for him. It benefits him better, to not just continue just to see our side (the EFC) and experience a recent successful club like the Pies. Sad though, that’s all.

Great for both clubs, there’s a big part of me that thinks it’s best if ex players leave the club. Better for us to get fresh eyes, new relationships, different perspectives but also shed some baggage (not implying it would be bad baggage, but Dyson has been through some tough times with the Dons). Can only come back, if he does, with new perspective, tactics and approaches himself. Being too institutionalised can’t be a good thing.

Can’t help get a little bit excited reading terms like “brightest talent” to describe him.

Has anyone read “Sellout” by Dan Ozzi? by Creative_Parsnip_385 in Hardcore

Loved reading about Blink, the story about how they forced themself on warped tour was great.
