I am Gob smacked by the number of times the Dogs throw the ball in close and get a free's for wriggle down once the tackle has been applied. disgraceful.

As should the name of said location. Sheesh, that ain't no selling point

The Broome Bullies

That said, the Clay family, of one town over, may be trying to tempt him over to Richmond. Never underestimate the power of regional legends. Hang on, I think Gary Lyon was from the same town as Dick Clay, no problems. Oh! Wait, did he play for Lemnos (the swans jumper) or Mooroopna (Geelong jumper)? The affiliation with local team jumpers may sway also him. Curse this damn world and its temptations!!!!

Sorry C&B, I was cheekily playing with the potential ramifications that your alias implies. I'd assume a vinadaloo and a stout may produce said results. It was never intended as a character assassination.

That's not the only orifice Curry and Beer will blow steam out of.

Tyson?

I'm not sure what I thought of this guy when we drafted him, but, I'm damn sure now. Clarry, your a gun, through and through. W.O.W. !!

I love watching him think in traffic. He seems to love trying to read a couple of moves ahead. I've noticed a couple of times him harassing the player trying to get the ball out (making him think he is being tackled) while looking to assess what the options are and throwing himself at that option to effect the next tackle. He's still young, can you imagine what his vision is going to be like in 5 years, if that is how he reads play now.

Suck it up princess. He's ours now. The irony of this guy being part of breaking the Norm Smith curse, would be gold. I'm not generally superstitious, but, on his 100th birthday.... Grand final 2016? Too much? Now is the time of pre-season optimism. I'll be over it round 2.

Genuine surprise and excitement over this announcement. Hats off to the club for playing their cards so close to their chest this trade period. Wow! I love the romance of the preseasons' endless possibilities. The drums are sounding and it feels great.

So there's a chance we might get Kennedy and Franklin? No wonder Roos is smiling.

My Guess, for what it's worth, are Kennedy and Bennell. That would make me content. In fact, any of those guys from up nor would do. Ox was sounding smug about us nailing some from up north the other day. I'd like to be wearing a smile like Roosey too. Will test my patients.

Might be time to start the 'Big Fish' thread.

Ollie Wines?

I'm not sure about McKay? But, if these guys are fit and firing at the same time. I feel pretty good about next year. Give us 1 a grade mid to boot, I'll feel even better

Well looks like Danger is off the table

Pretty sure, well known food critic John Lethlean, from The Australian, is also a long suffering supporter. Wonder what his thoughts on the Dees Palio diet is after our 2:2 start to the season.
