When did they self-report? They were about to be raided and were warned in enough time to destroy evidence. Delusional [censored]!

No, but apparently AFL Tribunals are.

'I had no idea what I was selling, I just knew it cured cancer.'

Agreed. I'd love to see a forward line of Hoges, TMac, Weids, Fritsch, Spargo and Jeffy. Hannan and Melksham interchange, with those 2 and Trac rotating midfield/wing and forward. Oppostion coaches would have to seriously think about their selections to combat that, rather than the other way round. Apart from Garlett, they all have good years ahead of them still, hopefully he can find some form quickly.

Special mention needs to go to young Fritsch for Spargs first goal as well. His spoil on the bigger, more experienced Hurley was a beauty. Charlie was waiting exactly where all good small forwards should be, front and centre.

Think about it for a second. If there were no clubs or pubs with pokies, where would the gamblers have to go for a fix?

I'll go around again thanks DV. Team name is The Big Fish

Is there any such thing as a Sloane fish?

4-6

Anyone have info on what his defensive pressure is like? If that's up to scratch he'd be a super pick up. If we have a high enough pick....

Delusional. They think it's completely irrelevant where Lever wants to go.

You're right about the Lever free, but after the first Riewoldt mark where Lever was clearly held down without a free being paid, he was probably thinking it was anything goes for the day. You could say he was half right.

It's interesting they've chosen to single out that contest. I thought it was a clear free kick to Brown for a hold of the jumper.

I reckon the Sydney Roosters, for some reason......

Can't happen soon enough H

You mean you didn't break his nose? Disappointed Moons!

He was only 3 years old at the time.

How's his broken nose?

No I don't think he's done just yet. Not until Tird is handing the Norm Smith to Jab after being victorious in the GF. Jab decides he's made a mistake and un-retires. Hird is presented with an honorary premiership medallion, while Gil changes his mind and gives Jab an honorary Brownlow to replace the one that was so cruelly taken away from him. With a tear in his eye, Woosha reluctantly decides he can't keep this poor, unjustly crucified hero out of the football club any longer and steps down for Tird to take over again. Dank changes his name by deed poll to Shank and calls Tird looking for a job. All club documentation now to be written in French.

Yes had that in the back of my mind and decided to hell with it, trade the future for a flag. Having said that I still hold hope for Stretch and McKenna, as well as T. Smith and Keilty as talls. Don't forget J. Smith and Maynard as well. I think with those changes we have a cracking side, good depth and the needs are reduced to the lower end of things for quite a while. Garlett is the one for mine as Dion is the only prospect in that role and he doesn't appear all that close at this stage. Look at it the other way, what's the chances of us keeping all of my potential trades anyway? Realistically if they don't come on we're stuck with them, and if they do come on they'll be annoyed at a lack of game time most likely and leave anyway. It's a roll the dice call, if it's possible.

I was thinking this as well. We desperately need some leadership up forward and this guy has it. Helps out with contested marks as well. Is he coming up for free agency end of next year? Shake the tree, see if he's interested in a move back to Vic. I'd include Weids as part of the trade. Not because he's no good, but I think we need him to be further advanced than he currently is. Bringing in Lever at one end and Lynch at the other would make us serious contenders. Would certainly love Kelly kicking it up there, but is that a bridge too far???? (Yes, I know) Depends what you're willing to give up though. For those three players it would mean big draft picks and players, not to mention cap space. I'd throw Weids, Tyson, Frost, ANB, Kent, JKH, Harmes, VDB, Bugg, Wagner all up for trade if it meant we'd pick up those 3 players (apart from Weids all of those players have been regular 22 at some stage). Vince on a 1 year reduced terms depth contract to play at Casey. Trengrove, Kennedy, Hulett delist. Spencer goes as a free agent. J. Smith and Maynard upgraded from the rookie list meaning we only need to take 1 pick to the wishing well. All draft picks go on the table, 1st this and next year, 2nd, 3rd, whatever we pick up in trades, to be used for those 3 players somehow. Finalise the list with cheap free agents for depth and structure on 1 year contracts until the list is in such a state that we can afford to be bringing in more youth. Right now that's the last thing we need. Yep, it's dreaming and more than just a little bit of rubbish. The stretch (apart from a trade miracle) is obviously the salary cap. Perhaps we need to trade for the Hawks accountant as well? Jetta OMac Hibberd Hunt TMac Lever Jones Lewis Kelly Petracca Hogan Watts Melksham Lynch Garlett Gawn Viney Oliver Salem Brayshaw Hannan Pedersen What more could you want??? Lol, nice to dream.

May I suggest the 'wine' cellar has been loosely named as well.

I believe the correct term is in fact 'spud'

I was a bit surprised TMac wasn't played in defense when we were going into the wind. We were playing tempo footy and basically trying to limit their scoring ability, so why not put your most experienced KPD on one of their 3 talls. Fair enough to maximise the wind advantage with him forward in the other 2 quarters. I thought it was a bit odd.
