Pick 9 for north is being used on mcdonald who is a father son pick.

Is that a rumour you hope to be true or does it have any substance?

600+ ? That surely breaks our 'rule' If you give him a massively front loaded contract it makes sense. We have cap room to spare at the moment, so use a chunk of it to grab a player by giving them a huge first year contract, then put them back down a few years later. We'd be stupid not to try it, a...

Tommy Lee showing a bit in the first half! Starting to get a glimpse of why he could be worth the trade. Too early to call though, I know.

Is Mickey still running around? And should that be owls?

Think it should be øls. Can't quite work out why one would be kicking an øl, but each to their own I suppose.

We look like Melbourne at the moment.

Wow, not the best start!

Didn't Prestia just come out and all but say he was planning on re-signing with the Suns in the next few weeks?

I don't see how he can possibly be so bad off the field as to offset the potential benefits of throwing our final pick at him. We could have used pick 100 on him last year, there's no risk in that. He's not going to bring those around him down, you'd just sit him down and put strict restrictions on ...

This is a low point, no doubt about it. Feeling very deflated and not particularly optimistic when we can barely get a clearance, and when we do we can't hit a target.

Pretty poor kicking that quarter. The worst I've seen on that front for a long time. Hard to win games when you're just kicking it to completely free opposition players and can't buy a centre clearance. I'd like to say we could peg it back a bit, but I actually think we'll tire a little and this wil...

Fairly sure that we stated we wouldn't be trading out our first round pick this year, so you can safely assume nothing like that will occur.

They said he missed through soreness.

Roo said in the interview that it was a form thing.

Noticed this. Always great to see a younger guy back himself in. Seen it in spades with Roberton and Wright, good to see Ross start to feel comfortable enough to do things like this.

I'm one of very few, but I really enjoy BT. What's the problem with having a few jokes through the games? I know he repeats himself with things like 'Big Boy', but seriously, if that bothers people that much, I think it's a problem with them more than it is a problem with him. Darcy does get a bit s...

Is it bad that I enjoy winning against Carlton even more?

Oh dear... I'm not comfortable....

So you honestly believe Kosi saw Elliot coming and thought Im going to knock him out? It was a accidental knock to the head.

Yep, I do.

CURLY wrote:People get confused. Yes Kosi was alway going to get weeks. No it wasn't a deliberate hit to the head.

Looked pretty darned deliberate to me.

I do like the sound of Heppell! He is out of contract. But why would the Bombers have cap issues? They havent played finals in 10 years and why would he come to us? he might be pissed off with Bombers over peptides but why would he come to us over say the blues? Rich is the right age and has connec...

Okay I'll bite...why?

Great but who and how? Free agents, trading to bring in talent. Speeding up the process. Rich will not give us enough compared to where we want to go Name names. People are all great at bagging everyone but not so great at better alternatives. Instead they prefer to believe in the 'fantasy recruit'...

I was watching the game with a mate who follows Geelong and wasn't really fussed about the game. The only time I saw him get remotely into it was when Milne was about to take that kick. He really wanted him to nail it and then give her a bit of lip back to shut her up.

I don't believe this years draft is compromised, although I think a few more results will start falling our way. I think we'll end up with about the 6th draft pick.

How did we get this kid? Can't see why Freo let him go, he's been a jet in his first five games for us. Looks like he could be a 10 year player.
