It all ends today with the final nomination of international rookies.

Unless Melbourne has hidden away a selection, it looks very much like our final list is settled and this board is done and dusted.

Thanks to Chip Frawley for your service and I hope your final act as a Demon results in us gaining a champion footballer.

Did we nominate an international rookie?

I feel this is an option we have neglected. We need to look further than NZ.

How well did the attention to Ireland serve us in the 80s and beyond and our coach has an American wife which could well be the gold mine of the future. (Not so much for wives but for players).

Are we looking?
