Did you have a nightmare?

Would hope not, really don't rate Ratten as a coach, very ordinary tactician

If they dragged their feet, might be because they thought they had time to. It was an extension, not a new contract

He may have bitched about six months to offer the latest deal, but the St Kilda board were trying to do the right thing offering him an extension to avoid a Clarkson-Hawthorn coming out of contract situation. It probably took six months because the board thought we had 18 in which to do it.

Get Lindsay Fox on the phone

Where was his support when we were under siege from the media earlier this year?

I'll take it, like what I know about the kid

Two very big differences: we're gastro-free (hopefully) and it's on our turf.

I have very fond (and slightly hazy) memories of the one B&F I went to. Pick my number!

The question isn't 'Is/will Big Ben be a better player than Cyril?', the is 'Is Big Ben a better pick than Cyril?' Considering our club's needs and current standing, looks like a resounding yes. Cyril would be competing with Milne & Schneiderman for a spot. Big Ben has pretty much no competition...

That was also the year we picked up Schneider and Dempster. Whether or not you think Rioli is better than Schneider, he's not better than the pair. For anyone who hasn't read Emma Quayle's The Draft (you should), our selections were influenced by trading. We could've gone one of two ways: 1. Draft B...

No contest. We would be so screwed without Big Ben right now, he was and is exactly who we need.

His parents will probably preserve the DVD for his 18th birthday

My order of preference: Clark - expensive financially and trade-wise, by far the best player though Wilson - Also not too familiar with, what I've heard has been good though. Carlisle - Still a bit of a project from what little I know. Not a short-term solution. Butcher - Certainly not a cheaper opt...

Really? He's dragging himself out of retirement?

We could've had him too if we didn't trade for Brooks

Don't forget to pick up your framed photos. NO!!!!!! They are a separate prize that will be raffled off at a later date. I already have the Tommy Walsh one and am waiting for the other 2. Who won the Tommy Lynch one from last year? We didn't sponsor Lynch last year, his allocation was full so we sp...

I hate Mooney, but how he got a week and Tarrant escaped punishment is beyond me

Great minds think alike. Stands to reason poor ones do as well

That's like saying GC couldn't get Brennan because they'd already signed Rischitelli

Wasn't regarded as being worth a 50, therefore shouldn't be regarded as reportable. Surely by now our players have been made an example of enough times to suggest malice on the AFL/MRP's part.

Who thinks Campbell Brown would've got a similar spell if he wasn't playing for the AFL's latest pet?

Curnow was drafted by Adelaide in 2007, delisted after two years and picked up by Carlton from the VFL last year. Keeffe was a NSW scholarship pick and never open to any club but Verminwood. And of course by now you've probably forgotten all the questions over the other players' heads on draft day. ...
