Are you the new Riddler!  

Sicily or Puopolo?  Rioli even?

Yes to Sicily - right age group and can play. 

No to Puopolo - he is already 30 and is slowing down.  Don't need anymore of those.

More information please?  Or are you just stirring the pot

"but another quality small forward to assist Garlett will be high on the club's wish list." According to afl.com.au

Any rumours on this one?

I was simply guessing D, based on the Italian names on Hawkes list.

We need to wait and see what  @willmoy  can give us.

'Marc Pittonet' a ruckman perhaps? Probably more a cross between French and Cheltenhammy

I'm Latvian and that name is about as Latvian as a lamington.

Ok, let's go with the 'something like that' then. Estonian, Lithuanian?

Players develop at individual rates. Fancy that.

Correction - in the pursuit of truth, justice and the Demonland way, I checked and he is indeed of Italian extraction. So my apologies to LH and the Latvian community.

Thanks, RM. I was going to have to send my Mother down there to beat you with stale piragi and wash your mouth out with chicken broth.

Does he put on enough pressure though? I'd have questions over his work rate, but the FD would know better than I.

Changing the subject it appears Kelly will be signing on with the Giants, was just reported on AFL360.

I always thought this might happen.  He'll stick around for another few years and then assess where he's at from there.  

On the flip side, it once again makes North look like complete mugs.  They've had a crack with a 'warchest' full of dollars and no one has gone for it.  Doesn't make them look good at all.

I agree if they don't win it by 2020 he's gone IMO.

Makes them look more irrelevant which is great;  they will be recruiting swat this year!

Don't think he can make it at the next level. Hasn't dealt well with close checking defenders. 

I really appreciate your insight of wa players psd. In fact demonland has a number of really switched on wa based dees fans.

Do you have a sense of how the wafl compares to the vfl in terms of relative strength. 30 years ago the wafl and sanfl churned out afl ready players. Is it my imagination that has reduced (note to potential dl pedants i now the landscape is different and i deliberately picked a post afl time frame)?

Phew!

As an aside, is Puopolis closer to the Latvian mark?

I post this while simultaneously hiding from your mum!

As long as they don't now throw their war chest at Lever.

Agree, they should've shut up after the Dusty fail.

Lever won't go there.

I think North have shown how important it is to play your cards closer to your chest.  They have been splashed all over the papers for months with this 'warchest' and all they've done is make themselves look desperate.  And now that they've missed out on these players they look even more irrelevant than they did before.
