I thought that that father / son prospects were also eligible to be drafted by their northern academy teams as a way to make up for the fact that these expansion clubs were too new to have any of their own father / sons.

Why is he being interviewed at Whitten Oval?

The AFL are doing us all a favour.

Sounds like it could be better than the thin sliver of land left over from the Mt Scopus purchase.

I remember a commentator saying something similar about the dutch national team in the 2010 World Cup final against Spain. Also @binman on the post game Collingwood podcast, to the effect of us having hammers and mallets whilst Collingwood have scalpels.

Whilst the modern game is made for pianists we have all the piano lifters.

As an emergency why is he in Melbourne?

I think Shane McAdam is on a 3 year deal. One more to go.

Jamie Clarrie Oliver's 15 minute meals.

Or pineapples.

For what it’s worth I was told yesterday that Clarry is living at Trac’s place at the moment.

I’d like it to happen just to see Kane Cornes head explode.

Does Goody have to sign for 7 years as part of the deal?

Like everyone else on here I'm bemoaning the decision making and skill errors our most senior guys make at crucial times in a game. Perhaps it was just me but I thought that the pre-game stuff with ND seemed just a little more poignant than usual.

I seem to remember Max giving Trac a spray after his injury in the game last year, or am I mistaken?

Our last home game for a month. Let's hope the game isn't as dreich as the weather.

To be fair both sides have turned over a lot of players and are now completely different basket cases to the ones they were three years ago.

The construction work at the ground in Ballarat must be to put a roof on it I guess.

North making plans for an open top bus parade along Errol St with their $2.5 mill cheque.

Jon Ralph would make They Boy Who Cried Wolf blush.

North could win this 21-20.

Surprised how many people there are wearing North colours in the crowd. Maybe the Roos could become the third WA team and move lock, stock and barrel to Bunbury. Just need to find the $$$ to build the prerequisite roof over the ground.

AFL cough Integrity Unit: Tanking for draft positions = bad. States buying opposition team home games = good.

It's not meant as a derogatory comment Slartibartfast. I think he sits in the 24-27 bracket in our pecking order. We're fine for wingers and pressure forwards now with Lindsay, Langford, Lingers, Chin, Kolt and Spargs. I don't think he should be playing ahead of any them. Harry Sharp could be in the same bracket but has 7 years on him. He might be a head of Jack Henderson.

His sweet spot is probably as an unused emergency in the senior side.
