    A bit rough on Hanners and Gaz. They would have been happy to stay with us.

    I would have thought that the woman symbolises McLaughlin and the children were Beams and Shiels.

    Every individual can be offended by whatever they personally find offensive. That does it for me.
    Must say I found it confronting, but not offensive.

    You'd better stay hidden in your safe space if you're offended by breastfeeding. The only thing offensive about the image is that it's an unattractive, obese woman and not Kate Upton.

    If your offended by breastfeeding then you'd better stay in your safe space and not venture out to your local shopping centre. The only thing offensive is that it's an obese woman and not Kate Upton.

    As far as its accuracy goes, neither Hanners nor Rohan wanted to go home. I would have thought that the woman was McLaughlin and the children were Beams and Shiels.

    In all honesty, I can’t imagine Harley calling a pressser & saying “well, we buggered that one, sorry”

    It’s his job and in his best interests to put a positive spin on a seemingly lacklustre trade period.

    But our couple of ins might turn out to be guns, our outs may fail miserably at their new homes, Blakey might slide to a steal pick and the young kids we take in the draft and rookie draft might be guns.

    Only the passage of time will judge the success of the 2018 trade period.

    Thurlow sounds like another Ted Richards struggled to get a consistent go at Essendon came to us and became a champ lets hope he does the same.
    Also noticed 29 year old Patrick Veszpremi signed with Port Melbourne wow where did those last ten years go.

Very unlucky after splitting his kidney a couple of years ago and coming back from that successfully to then need a knee reconstruction. Hopefully that’s the end of his injury woes.
    I don’t have as much interest in AFL as I used to but I come across things every so often as I used to spend a lot of time talking to footy people n that’s how I got talking to Thurlow’s relative.

    He’s had a shocking run with injuries but none are soft tissue which is a massive bonus.

    Also on the trading for future picks I’d say Sydney are preparing for next years academy picks in Barling & Rayner who will play TAC cup with the academy side next year so will have a lot more exposure and could end up 1st or 2nd round picks.

    I bet you didn't find it so offensive when your mother was breastfeeding you!!
    Disappointed.
    Wild speculation, unsubstantiated rumours, silly jokes and opposition delight in another's failures is what makes an internet forum fun.
    Blessed are the cracked for they are the ones who let in the light.

    Bit rich of anyone to be saying what can or cannot be found offensive. I’ve seen this forum get up in arms about all sorts of things that many wouldn’t find offensive. It’s subjective. Can’t have your cake and eat it too. For the record , it’s play on from me but surely if you respect one persons right to be offended by something , you have to respect everyone’s. That is the world we live in now and if you want to perpetuate that then you can’t pick and choose unfortunately.

    Love that the future career prediction is called PAPLEY in this model on the ABC. It shows Sydney as coming out second best in the long term behind Fremantle in the trade period but going backwards in 2019. It is not all doom and gloom but 2019 might not be a flag year.
