FMD do some of you blokes EVER not dwell on things you cannot change :tearsofjoy:
I reserve the right to dwell on things I can't change. If either my mum or dad had married into money my life might be much better today than it is. Failing that at least my mum could have married a guy that was equipped like a pornstar. The only way I can give a woman 9 inches is to have three roots.
















And I was only kidding about taking three roots to give 9 inches, it takes six.

Coz that muppet pay had him playing left centre when he was the best right winger at our club. Better yet he was playing on the opposite side of the field. His strengths and skills are on the right. It’s not that hard. Right not left.

Considering our depth in the backs it was interesting to why we let him go so early. Maybe we thought we would get JAC or Smith early. We always get duped when it comes to releasing players lol

Given that we are short on depth in the backline, why did we release Smith, when we could’ve kept him for 2021 and then he could go to storm in 2022 and addo Carr comes in.
Hes actually playing really well and playing in the centres lol
Remember pay dropped him a few times,attitude,being one,and lack of form was the other,and most importantly he didn’t want to be there,but apart from tonight’s game,he’s been pretty ordinary so far.

New coach coming in = clean slate.

Sam Kasiano didn't.
Ben Roberts....

I'll never forget that 1st Finals game in 2014 I think. We played them down there & if I recall correctly Ben Roberts was playing at Centre.

We absolutely smashed em.

One of our most memorable finals wins after just scraping into the 8 after a bad end to the regular season.

Because he was useless, disinterested and lazy with us for two seasons and has been shit for Melbourne all season til tonight?

Even Mitch Brown had a double or hat trick once or twice. Doesn't make them a great player.. Who cares anyway? We have Addo-Carr and Cotric next year so we're set for wingers...

Lafai scored a hat trick & played his best game in Dogs colours. I think we won like 28-14 or something. Fuck that was a great day.

I believe this had a lot to do with it and had Ado-Carr not signed the Tigers HOA, it probably would've been a 2021 swap.

Aaah the days when we were able to keep Melbourne to one try in a finals game. Geez we’ve fallen so far from grace lol Funny thing is we we’re pretty underwhelming coming into that finals campaign. Turned around n pumped em. I was expecting a loss.

I get that but I’m talking about depth for this year, he couldve been kept then let go when the contract expired, better than using Tui katoa lol

He joins a long list of duds weve let go of.. Brenko, Morris Bros, Cook, Finucane..

But honestly its hard to shine our backline with the spine we have and have had of late.. So good luck to him hes looking decent playing outside a top spine..
