Would another club take Jason Blake?

I HIGHLY doubt it myself, but say a Hawthorn needing some key defensive back-up and close to a flag tilt?

Dunno, but not beyond another club or two to make noises in order to force us to use a higher pick on him.

Wouldn't like to have to pick him any earlier than our fifth pick at 68

I don't think so. In fact I'd be stunned. Blake's a decent utility, but he's 30 and frankly I think he'd retire before he moved interstate.

Yes but there are a few really shyte teams plus the new teams. If I was GWS i would be looking at him, he could bring a lot to the young team, as he would to the Suns

If Port picked him up he would be the best player on the list by a long way

I hope none of this happens, isnt he on 199 games?

Correct he's on 199.

As I said, I don't think Blake would move interstate, apparently he has business interests here, so I think he'd retire before he moved.

Lets just hope he is not forced into retirement and gets to play his 200th for the us next year.

Will be like the Gehrig scenario, no-one will touch him.

Is his manager Paul Connors by chance?

Picked in one. Has made it known through his manager he will only play for the Saints so no one else will bother drafting him.

I gave mine to Plugger and he took Clarky449 as his date.

He even caught Tara's bouquet.


Lance or James??

There comes a point in every man's life when he has to say, "Enough is enough." For me, that time is now. I have been dealing with claims that I cheated and had an unfair advantage in <redacted>. Over the past three years, I have been subjected to a <redacted>investigation followed by <redacted> witch hunt. The toll this has taken on my family, and my work for <redacted>and on me leads me to where I am today – finished with this nonsense. (Oops just got a spontaneous errection <unredacted>)

Did you give Tara the same advice you gave Kim Kardashian?

If they did, their members would probably be annoyed they'd waste a pick, as he'd likely retire?

Yeah, it would probably be like when West Coast drafted Tim Watson.
