But it didnt make any sense. At all.

Society going downhill.

Society going downhill.

From where? It didn't start from any position of worth really. It's an argument that get trundled out about social media that ignores that this type of behaviour has been ever present by humanity just sans-mobile phones. Anyway, back to the footy.

But it did. You just didn’t understand it.

If you want my attention Sandy you need only ask for it.

But it did. You just didn’t understand it.

I confess, I was only trying to see how deeply someone might entangle themselves but I was probably giving too much credit to the type of folk who think humanity has descended from the stratosphere of morality.

If my comment was too esoteric for you then I'm sure the local library has an ample range of pop-up books to stimulate your senses.

I don't think we should be wasting money on Hayward he's a glorified role player, we need an elite mid a break the lines half back a ruck and a KP forward before we need a half forward

Feel like Hayward would be a great fit - our forwards right now are tall or small, assuming Cook isn't going to suddenly become a high level player. A mid size forward who can play that defensive role, take a mark and kick 30ish goals a year. More than handy. We have the $ to spend and I'd much rather see Hayward play that role than McHenry or Murphy. If they match and we have to give up a 1st round pick, then pause for sure but if he comes for free (in terms of picks), he makes our side better. Sounds like there's a lot of clubs chasing him though, so lots to play out there.

Surely nobody questions how much of an upgrade that is:

Murphy/McHenry in their combined 41 games since the beginning of 2023 kicked 20 goals. Hayward has 16 in 8 games this year.

If you had to choose between Adelaide going into an AFL game with 21 players including Hayward or 22 players with McHenry and Murphy I know what I am choosing.

They showed stats on Hayward the other day and he is ranked above average for most of his key areas, but it’s much more than stats, his goals out of nowhere or clever play is miles ahead of these two

Would definitely be an upgrade on Murphy / McHenry. In that mid-size, tall/small forward role he could potentially be a McAdam replacement, given that we didn't actually have one when he left?

Problem being, Mchenry and Murphy wouldn't be competing against Hayward for a spot if we brought him in. Nicks is fixated on having this 'shape keeper' pressure forward in our set up. Hayward plays a similar role to what we are trying to get Pedlar to play.

Folks — if you repeat this line in Christoper Hitchens’ actual voice, it’s even more hilarious

Yep

He does what he does without being a forward target and without supplementing his numbers with midfield time

Complements those around him

Spot on, I think people underestimate the effect of moving clubs can have on a players career also.
