Not as easy as it used to be, due to a couple of loose tongues.

Bet that was a barrel of laughs.

I reckon you could take that to the bank

He was way too slow for that.

Back pocket was his spot, he was just born in the wrong era imo.

In the 80’s or 90’s, he’d have been a classic tough back pocket.

Puns from the vault night is it?

Slattery was a selfish player - Would never roll of his opponent and help his team-mates - Imagine him today with the emphasis on team defence.

He was old fashioned, not selfish

Given his B&F votes over the years pretty consistently outstripped anyone else’s opinion of his performances, this is pretty tenuous.

With what space?

Only have two rookie spots and appears as though would be a ruck in Clarke and Neagle as F/S (although not committed to)

I like Dea but time to let it go. Use the rookie list on a high risk / high reward proposition or at least to cover a real need (eg, Clarke).

The club hasn’t said a single word on neagle have they. Are we even remotely keen?

My impression is that we’ve nominated him as a father-son rookie…no claims in the ND, but if no-one else takes him, we (I think, are obligated to) take him in the RD.

This. Pretty much all of this. Many thanks to Matt Dea for answering the call, when we were at our lowest and for that he probably deserves life membership, but onwards and upwards.

Lives to fight another Dea.

Because we really need half back flankers.

Good call. And yet ANOTHER pun name. Happy Deas!
