Re: Post Game Passion: AFL 2019 Rd 4: Carlton vs. Gold Coast Reply #1 – April 14, 2019, 05:32:24 pm By the time we come good, it's hard to see that the likes of Cripps, Walsh, SPS, Fisher and others will still be there.Losses like today have a long term toll, trade them while their value is high, and before they walk! You can't blame them walking when they do!We set-up a bidding war for the WA teams.

Re: Post Game Passion: AFL 2019 Rd 4: Carlton vs. Gold Coast Reply #7 – April 14, 2019, 05:36:12 pm But adversity is good for them!Then tie them in a hessian sack and throw them in the Yarra, whoever survives gets a lifetime contract! I'm sure it'll make them better!

Kicking was one thing we were looking for when drafting.It was never mentioned about Dow, his go was contested ball and break-away pace, not ever his kicking. it was his pace that we recruited him for, we had almost no faster midfielders at the time.
