I'm surprised you haven't read about them on here as they've been mentioned hundreds of times.

The 'rumour' is that we wanted to draft Wines and Neeld over ruled the scouting team and demanded that we take Toumpas instead.

My bad, I thought there was something new.

goodoil has provided good oil on recruiting info on DL over a number of years

credibility

Unless somebody posts and is either Jason Taylor, Todd Viney or Kelly O'Donnell then whatever is said is heresay, we are all entitled to post heresay, whether it is more or less credible than another poster......a drovers dog could provide the good oil on recruiting these days, it is all over the media before the fact

Again, unless you are a recruiter, this is not verifiable, are you are recruiter?

Its verified, close to the recruiting team at the time.

Now moving right along to today's game which starts in little more than an hour, I must say that I'm not really hyped up for the game yet.

Is there anyone out there at Playford Dead or Alive Oval who can paint a picture of what's happening there? 

How's the atmospherics? Is the crowd building up, are the food vendors trading well? How far is the ground from the Barossa Valley?

[Ethan Tremblay 30,826]

Did we choose Toumpas over Wines?

Learn something new everyday.

Small crowd forming, nice atmosphere with big shady trees, picnic chairs. 

Few of the guys out doing some general kick about ground familiarisation.

Is it on the radio

So it is verified coz they told you, like I was told something different by somebody close to the recruting team, my point

[boydie 655]

So yes, our midfield is light but at some point our younger players need to standup and today is a perfect opportunity.

I reckon the Dee's will win, but if they don't I still think they'll show enough to suggest that we'll be alright this year.

Pie and a coke, $9 down and haven't even had a beer yet :.)

A win is not important today, it is an opportunity for the players to show Roos and Goodwin we are on the right path, and if they do, what tweaks need to be done before the start of the season proper, season proper I haven't missed a home game for 7 years, but NAB Challenge, highlights and reports will do me.....(Geelong must be really concerned for the season ahead losing to the Pies yesterday)

Hogans taken off the headphones, banging through some from 45m gee his run up looks awkward but they are sailing through

Interesting that we haven't named our leadership group yet or a captain for today's game?

I heard they're experimenting with a 26-man leadership group today.

The game is in Elizabeth, the cabling for the copper has probably gone walkabout the minute they set it up

There's an update available as there was a glitch with the video - I updated this morning on iPad and iPhone so hoping all bases are covered!

This club is only on the right path when it starts winning.

I don't believe in honourable losses myself, they are just losses, but there is no 4 points on the line today, I just want to read/watch that the team performed in a competitive manner and took the game to Port, if we win good.....if we don't meh NAB Challenge practice game....you did read the reports from the 20/20 game at Simmonds last night
