I added gaps to your name. StevetHemanjorDan The effects of punctuation/grammar interests me.

French is a lousy language according to George Bush, who famously said, " the problem with the French is that they don't have a word for entrepreneur."

Stevet Hemanj or Dan, you are so right. If you have no control over a situation there is no benefit in wasting time on it. Worrying has no benefit whatsoever. It is fine to discuss contingencies and probabilities but spare me the Chicken Little's.

So if he stays or goes he is a cat?

My point exactly. Edit: Roos and co playing the long game?

Long flight/flights Gold Coast to Perth, wouldn't want to be doing that or similar every other week. I think Jessie would be quite aware that long flights and long careers don't go hand in hand. Perhaps letting him go home this week is wise. Don't worry, it doesn't help. I think he will stay.

This was in my vinyl collection, an ex now has it - the whole collection!

Future Brownlow medalist. Best first games I have seen from an 18 year old. Sublime hands, can kick a goal, fast & tough will only get better.

Would that be Nate Fyfe?

Another interesting observation Oliver is taller than Gary Ablett snr so is Petracca. I reckon when Oliver stops growing he will be bigger than Dunstall. I'm excited. Yes I know it is more than height.

SuperPetracca on the Parish

Petracca - Oliver - Brayshaw - Viney or all of the above.

Thanks JTR, I was starting to get all excited, now I am depressed (figure of speech - not a medical condition) I think the new group are, to quote Bruce "Special", and our best chance to grab a 13th flag since....... forever.

Since the software upgrade? we have had continual software glitches. Am I the only one getting sick of fighting dodgy software? Please wait 36 seconds, really?

Why can't the club offer a percentage of the salary cap, whatever that ends up being? As our marquee player we offer 10% of the salary cap which this year would be about 1 million if the cap goes up to 13 million he gets 1.3 million. The 10% could be 7, 8, 9% whatever, so he could sign now knowing that he will get an increase based on percentage of the new total.

Beeb "I thought it was me. We should form a club lol" Isn't lol lots of lunatics?

We did beeb ...demonland

I have a recollection of a story my father told me about Dame Nellie Melba. In her contract it stated that she would be the highest paid female singer in the world. So regardless of what went on, if another singer received a pay rise then hers automatically went up. Perhaps a similar offer to Hogan. Not the female singer bit! I think this is a wise move by his manager and I am not worried yet. If next year they say they want to wait till the end if the season then I will worry.

Southern Stand? Is that the one on the other side, looking into the sun?

The parousia?

Oliver reminds me a bit of Jobe Watson. No drug references required or intended..
