[Mordecai]

Well. wouldnt look at their board but thrilled if thats the case. Cheers for the good news

Interesting.

Reading through their training reports as well... they have Dan McPherson and Jona Segal there now too. Brad Scott taking over the football department yet again?

Anyone else read on the * board about young Ben and not impressing with his efforts on the track. Absolutely no shock to me fyi

His team mates will be thrilled with his spoiling efforts.

That's one hell of an expensive step ladder.

Jokes is on you, yet again Micky. Magoo was guarding grass. He is an AA grass guarder.

 

[Scottroo]

I’m looking forward to him embarrassing himself this year almost as much as I am to watch the Roos

 

[Daniltchenko You Beauty]

Started well...

 

[The acurate one]

Magoo is killing them, that's * fyi.

 

[DarkPhoenix]

For those who just knocked off work (me), can someone elaborate on what he got up to today?

Apparently defended indefatigably all day long to see the *peptidepushers, only go down by 7 or 8 goals.

Here's a summary of what he may or may not have done.

"Ben McKay came to the Bombers on a big money contract and his height and experience down back is much needed alongside Jayden Laverde and Zach Reid who had a great battle with St Kilda’s Max King."

"Smart" work to not play the gorilla on the Saints best key forward. That's what they got him for I thought. Oh well.

But hey its only early days. Lets not go all smug and knowing this soon.

[Heaps of fun]

The campaigners almost 30 and still looks like a rabbit in the headlights whenever he's given the ball.

 

[The acurate one]

The * didn't post anything on Magoo after his first hit out, but they did when he played against a 40 yr old Porkins. Apparently they're seeing it. Not sure what "it" is, but the majority of North BF fans saw "it" as well.
I saw a balloon and storm water pit fyi.

But my intent wasn't to besmirch the Gippsland Flyer but to ask if we got Duursma for the Flyer?

 

[sruss]

They didn’t get it, but I laughed

 

[The Filth Wizard]

More interested in the $10 pizza tbh.

LOL Great minds...

[DarkPhoenix]

Claims he can read and write.
Doubt.

 

[Ruckle]

He must be thrilled with the 8 year plan after moving for all the success he would experience (as well as the dosh).

Gift that keeps on giving really.

 

[Horizons_00]

Did a number on lewis

Still can play great defence

 

[sross]

On the basis of $800k per season his 10 possessions were $3750 each. Did his job though

Would be handy in our back line RN though

People need to let go of the ‘McKay is crap, we never needed him’ routine. No one can say we couldn’t have used him on the weekend - sure Duursma will be a beauty in time, if not already, but there’s a price to pay in the interim while we sort the back 6

Looked immediately useful for Essendon on Saturday. Wasn't our long term KPD by any means but he would have plugged a hole for now.

 

[King Corey]

No secret I rate him and would've preferred he stay. Quality structure beats isolated talent.

However he took choice from us and we got the best compensation possible.
