Fell off my chair tonight when Damo Barrett admitted, ON AIR, on FC that he might have been wrong about his criticism of the Kelly/Salem/Tyson deal. Respect due where respect is due.

Viney, Salem, Tyson, JKH. There's the building blocks of a solid core midfield. Throw in Riley and Michie for good measure. Can't wait to see what Roos does with another trade period or two.

Can you imagine how good this kid will be after 50 games? Wow!

Yet Freeman did his hamstring in his first NAB cup match.

A couple of good trade seasons can be the difference between bottom 4 and top 8. We need only look at the brilliant recruitment at Port and emulate their success. The pickups they got over two off seasons have put them where they are now. Getting Polec was icing on the cake.

I had to double take the other day when I saw a few of our new recruits partying it up at Falls Festival in Lorne. Happy to report they looked pretty well behaved, drinking water right before midnight NYE. Was going to ask for a photo but didn't want to be that guy.
