He never seemed like the leadership type when he was at Geelong but he seems to have developed it since going to the GC. I don't think he was as nutty at Geelong either, that seems to have ramped up in the last couple of years.
Gold Coast does have a bit of a bible belt so there's plenty of enablers.





I don't think you can live in Geelong and believe that God could create a place like Geelong.

Players present and past writing that the game looks stupid because players run towards each other and then aren't allowed to punch anyone in the head.

Well you seemed pretty drat offended by his religion. If he considers it an influence in his career he has every right to thank god in his brownlow acceptance speech. Get a grip.

No, I find offence in the concept of a divine bestowing special talents on an individual for no reason. Its arrogant and egotistical but people like you give it a pass because of some stupid idea of religion making it humble. Also youre correct, he does have every right to say it in his acceptance speech just like I have every right to disagree with it on a loving internet forum you gigantic baby.

Sloane. Sloane Sloane Sloaney Sloane. He is a 100% certain keeper provided he doesn't get horribly injured. Rich is much less reliable.

See I would much prefer Sloane, but with Rich I have an extra nearly 300k in the bank to start playing around with the rest of my team to make sure its full of peeps who will get games/cut the dead wood that I picked at the start. But on the other hand, Sloane, so ... :(

There is no way Ablett's views on the influence of religion in his career come from a place of arrogance or egotism. He is (weirdly, over the top) religious and he thinks that his faith has helped him be the person he is. That's it. You're being super ridiculous about this.

I've traded out Malceski and Cockatoo for Laid and NVB, avoiding a Malceski price crash and picking up a lot of money on the way. It's a lot of crows (+Sloane, Jacobs and CEY), but I'll probably be rid of them in premium upgrades by the bye round.

Junior is going to sit on the bench this week where he won't lost any value, and I'll trade him out for another premium next week or the week after.
