Question: Milkshake currently on our rookie list, I think. If he gets a contract (hope so) does he take a spot?

As regards giving players a send-off game: the AFL is a ruthless business. At present it looks like our club has made a major stuff up in recruiting Billings, McAdam and Fullerton. Maybe Luker. And we have to 'carry' all three/four for another year. Hopefully they'll make me eat my words Added to this we will have JS on our list for the foreseeable future (see W Rioli). With Gus, Spargs, BBB, Schache et al we've had well short of a full list all year. We need to make better choices. That's my take. Happy for youse all to give me a clip.

I disagree. I don’t think we owe Hunter anything. He wasn’t wanted at the Dogs and my reliable source tells me there’s been little change in his off field behaviour. Better to give Tholstrup more experience.

My 'doom and gloom' outlook extends to next year and beyond. Other than JvR, Caleb and ? I can't see any of our current players getting any better. MJ our only real hope at Casey. Some dead wood will go and hopefully JT and his mob have learnt not to recruit more dead wood.

Apologies if mentioned: we’re currently 12th. Will be thirteenth after next round. Any good draft picks at 6?

No need to get the Funk and Wagnall' off the shelf this week JB

Ah, the ANZAC spirit in full flight. Great to see. Mind you I'm on Kefalonia in the Greek Isles. Balmy 34 degrees at present. But I'm with you in spirit WCW. Surely he's wearing socks?

Surely he's wearing socks?

You missed the 'too'. It's called sarcasm.

Lighten up mate. You must be fun too bee around.

Ah, the old 'poll' position. How're you going to vote? From the resident pedant!

It's a saying dating back to the 17th century when heavy rain would wash dead animals down the street. Don't take it literally PF. You ain't gonna be hit on the bonce by a Great Dane, or heaven forbid, a big pu$$y.

I reckon you're right re surgeries. There'll be a queue. Petty and Ricky up front IMO.

I agree with most of what you have to say. Fullerton ruck, resting forward but not crowding MJ. NI where BBB or Schach play. They're gorn season's end so it matters not. We know Tmac is very good back. So is Petty. Tmac goes well forward Petty doesn't. Do we have to spell it out for the FD? BTW James Cooke was shafted when Casey recruited Fevola. The latter telling any player who came inside the 50m to FO. MJ could use another tall, but one only. And he needs to play FF. End of sermon.

I don't want to say I told youse . But I will. I told youse.

FFS Clarrie ain't going anywhere. End of story.

I think the durries have gone out the window. Metaphorically. Not literally of course.

Not sure he's got the experience.

Where I live (on the Surfcoast) it became a running joke a few years back. No malice meant. It's like saying 'hang on, you're having a go at him when he's only had nice things to say about you.'

That's a bit harsh. He speaks highly of you 😄.

According to the List and Contracts thread we have picks in R1, 4 and 5 and Swans 2, Dogs 2 and Saints 3.

I wasn't never going to believe that. Coming as it was from his mum 😀

So far we've dropped 3.4%. Drop another 2% and we'll go below the Dawks.

I did mention a couple of days back that Treacy is 78% re shots at goal.

OK. Safely seated in the morning sun and finally on-line. Expected top today is 35. Go Dees. Oh yeah ... I'm on Corfu.
