Suck it up you plastic franchise "Western Bulldogs" with just one premiership. We stood strong and kept our identity and proud history. We weren't desperate enough to change our name like were criminals going into the Witness Protection program.
It wasn't a wholesale change but we sort of changed it .... for a bit

Oh when the Saints go marching in
Oh when the Saints go marching in
I want to be there at Moorabbin
When the Saints go marching in


Oh, I do like to be beside the seaside,
Oh I do like to be beside the sea.
And down at the Junction is the football ground,
And that's where the Saints all hang around.
So lets give three cheers for old St Kilda,
For this year the Premiers they may be.
Though it's not yet in the bag,
We've got hopes of winning the flag,
Beside the seaside, beside the sea.
Though it's not yet in the bag,
We've got hopes of winning the flag,
Beside the seaside, beside the sea."

Completely disagree with you on this Bluthy. Changed their name.....changed nothing else. Still at the Western Oval, still have the same home jumper, still have the same mascot. Don't think they've sold out their history. Maybe they did it to survive.
I've got lots of respect for the way they've not only survived but managed to succeed.
"Plastic franchise Western Bulldogs". Harsh, very harsh and unfair. You sound bitter and mean.
Just trying to claw back a bit of high ground after they got off "One cup" Island and we are still staring out to sea wistfully like Tom Hanks in Cast Away. Tongue firmly in cheek - but still think their name change was unnecessary and destroyed some of their history.

Looks like Rockliff is a done deal! Pick 10 for Rockliff??
Not bad IMO...even better if we get Steele as well

I assume it isnt a straight swap?
They give us 19, 20 or 24 back and we use that for Steele?
So pick 10 for Rocky + Steele.

The question needs to be asked - do we need all four of Rocky, Armo, Dunstan and Ross? All too similar for mine. We then have Acres and Steele as inside/outsides and Steven and Freeman as outside mids.

I would move on one of Armo or Dunstan for the right price and get in another fast outside mid. Just for balance.

Err. And you believe it?

I hope not and I do not think so.

Im not impressed.

Surely they give us pick 19, 20 or 24 back?
We then get Steele as well? So we end up with Steele and Rocky for 10? That seems decent.
Then if we can somehow get another pick in the 20s to use on a kid in the draft.
I'm not thrilled with this either. Smacks of going too hard too early.

Also Jaxons said there's no way we'd trade 10... guess anything is for sale at the right price.

So the Lions are clearly starting from scratch with a youth policy.
Hanley and Rocky gone.
Good move by Fagan as it buys him some time.

This should be in a thread of its own.

Sounds like it's done, why? Based on a tweet.

Hell, can't believe some people are so gullable!!!

Hopefully Rockcliff is wrong as has no defensive side to his game and doesn't hurt you with his possessions, unless at half forward . Definitely not worth pick 10.

You would think Dunstan for Hartlett would be on if that was the case.

10, Dunstan for Steele, Hartlett and Rockliff.

If only... but no chance

I didn't say it was bad, just wondering if there's any truth to it, Rocky has been a rumour for a long time, even Joey mentioned him, however thats all its been

The reason I don't post much is because I spent the last few years reading plugger 66
Gospels, now that he has disappeared I feel I won't be ridiculed
