Bradbury is not a fool. He skated for years before winning gold. And I didn't mind his joke either.

You talking bout Fevola? Oh wait, thats a different thread... :wink:

I hate these threads, the fool shaved himself down to stick it up the authorities. We have known culture issues going back god knows how many years.

When he was at the Tiges he did hammys, ended up in hospital and was involved in a issue involving drinking. He could have played in the granny and won the game for us. But also could have been injured, not jelled with our mids, played a shocker or overdosed at some stage during thr year. Whats the point in beating ourselves up about it? I swear we need a phsychologist on this forum sonetimes...

Lance or James??

There comes a point in every man's life when he has to say, "Enough is enough." For me, that time is now. I have been dealing with claims that I cheated and had an unfair advantage in <redacted>. Over the past three years, I have been subjected to a <redacted>investigation followed by <redacted> witch hunt. The toll this has taken on my family, and my work for <redacted>and on me leads me to where I am today – finished with this nonsense. (Oops just got a spontaneous errection <unredacted>)

You're right. His not a fool and either are you for liking a joke that 99.5% of people thought was tactless.

Mate you gotta stop attempting challenging and complex things involving mathematics. Either that or guess little more accurately.

He did well at Richmond

Top 5 and Top 8 in the b&f in his two years and 35 games.... Not bad for a guy continually injured... Truth is, he had two soft tissue injuries in two seaons..... He had more impact than Jesse smith.... Ben was no longer a superstar, but he was no gumby either....

Can you tell us the impact of MG and Ben in the same side? Also can you definately say we had room in the salary cap. Can you also give us the new GF scores when he played and where he came in our B&F.

Can understand reason for not taking Cousins
Can also see some reasons for taking Lovett
BUT> the same organisation taking these decisions less than 12 months apart smacks of schizophrenia.
One was a gun player, would cost very little and had issues (admittedly slightly past his best)
The other was just a player in a poor side, cost an arm and a leg and had arguably greater issues.
Look up INCONGRUOUS in dictionary and see a picture of Lyon and his cohorts!

Wouldnt have a clue but i doubt a coach would present him with our jumper if he didnt want him. I think the rumours were we were going to lose a lot of sponsorship if we got him so that probably means the board.
