    I wouldn’t dream of lecturing anyone Stevo- but I don’t see how we can condone the word “hate” towards any player. The world would be a better place if we eradicated that word from our vocabulary. I agree with TS above that Dawso’s behaviour was deceptive and in stark contrast to that of Luke Parker, and he deserves our contempt and I’d boo him at e very opportunity.
    I will concede that that word was a bit strong....but in my response re: lecturing, I think I was getting you mixed up with Ruck'n'Roll. Apologies.

    Players changing clubs is normal. Dawson (boo!) did so in a particularly disruptive and dishonest way. That is not normal.

    Players who cause damage as he did when he left deserve to be booed every time they touch the ball. I rarely say that about any player, but dishonest and damaging conduct is a red line for me.

    Compare this rat's conduct to Parker: he clearly announced his wish to be traded after the 2024 season ended. He did not mislead the club when the club was making list and salary decisions. Am I disappointed that he left? Yes. Do I wish him any ill will? No, because he was honest. In particular, I don't mind seeing him playing for North. It's like Luke Hodge transferring to Brisbane: providing a struggling club with on-field leadership and experience.

    I'm starting to enjoy the tagging job that Langdon is doing on Daicos.

    Massive loss for us. It was our painstaking development of him that produced the gun he is now. Still stings.

    Quite enjoying the strong tackling, especially from the Crows. I suspect that Peatling won't be the only player reported and/or suspended from this game.

    Tonight's game between the Hawks and the Bulldogs, could be a high quality game, but a test of which team you despise the least.
    Yes, the joy of knowing one team you hate will lose is offset by the fact that another team you hate will get the 4 points!

    Poodles getting the rough end of the stick with the umpiring.
