The coach in me says it's Max time. Coaches are over-rated. This team will win today if our leaders stand up. They have to drive the standards. The last few minutes should be all about them with Max having the final word.

You're drawn me out of hibernation LG. That's very very good from you.

Well, I'll be there. It's going to be a bit strange barracking against a few girls I've coached. Any other QLD Dees planning on attending?

Sorry LH, when was this?

I can't believe I'm analysing a 5 second grab but the words "missed out" suggest the decision was Hogan's. The Perth media would have put a different slant on it (even in 5 seconds) if they'd cooled on the deal.

Sydney now have pick 26 and 28. Is one of those picks fair compensation for losing a player we don't want to lose?

Moonie, if you dig deeply into the Demonland rules and regulations you'll find reference to making the same joke twice within 24 hours. You've been warned.

So who's going to be the first poster to change their username to Demonland4276?

There's a post like this every year that gets Demonland salivating. And it never comes close but this doesn't seem beyond the realm of possibilities. Make it happen Moonie!

At some point post the trade period Gaff will assure the footballing world that his move wasn't motivated by money. That's going to be an easier sell wearing red and blue as opposed to blue and white.

Sorry, where's all the Whitfield talk coming from?

Would you take him?

A couple of phantom drafts now have Hayes sliding (as is often the case with the highest ranked ruck) and falling to us. I'd take him if available. That potential to play as a key position forward and relieve in the ruck would certainly fill a need. And I feel we're a ruckman short on our list anyway. And the links to Baker seem to be continuing. Wonder where the noise is coming from.

This gives an insight into a more rounded player than the previous 'hanger' highlight reel.

True. But he already has. We now own the best young defender in the game.
