Not as bad as it may have appeared on TV

Tony Shaw tonight

One our of every three times they come out of the back half they score

I've stopped watching and am heading out to the garden, where I should have been all day

can we kick the ball across our back line for a long enough time?

The Bulldogs did that in 2000 against Essendon, unfortunately we aren't nearly a good enough side to repeat that feat. Wish it were true though

Done, and done!

Really enjoyed Paul Gardner being there last time

Lost more weight and ready to go

nearest parking lot?

Last time I got a ticket from the city of Yarra!

Hard to sell memberships with home games like that.....

Considering the time of the announcement, and that it's not official yet, just broken by a journo, now outside of business hours, I don't think it's all that unreasonable.

Do you think the club's PR/ social media department should be on call 24 hrs?

We can wait until morning, honestly...

Not in this day and age we want it NOW!!!

Plus with 96% of what has been going on around here being complete and utter dribble for 2 weeks solid, some people are gagging for official information, not mindless drivel :ph34r:

Hertl's mum was crying hard out....... So was I. It was poetry in motion

Can we download the stream of the audio somewhere? I'd really like a listen

Did they?

Yes, if not by trade then the first pick in the preseason draft

Salary floors are coming in now (the NBA have introduced one this season). We had one because Fitzroy was staying alive on 70% of the cap and doing nothing.

As for our squeeze - it is more of a stretch, and Schwab ingenious answer was to frontloading contracts each year rather than over pay. I am yet to hear an argument for a better solution.

The NBA salary cap floor is meaningless. If you don't spend to the cap, it's just divided amongst the players on your roster. It does nothing.

Guys it was just a bit of fluff to fill up the sports news section

NOTHING TO SEE HERE!!!!!!!!!!

And if GWS wanted a player rather than a pick, would you be willing to trade Tom McDonald? Obviously an exchange of later picks would probably be required to balance things a little.

Negative

Partick Roy has always been a petulant brat. Comes with being freakishly good I suppose

Hi guys,

My wife is going to make blankets for my boys out of old Melbourne scarves for Christmas. She's a very crafty woman. We have 10 already of our own but she needs another 20. Doesn't matter how old or new they are, as long as the condition is good

You can PM and I'll pay for delivery or I'll be at the forum game on Sunday.

Thanks

I know but I was looking at the compensation we would get; therefore it is relevant

Completely dealing in hypotheticals. Dealing him for pick 35 cannot and will not ever happen so what's the point asking? We get what the AFL tells us we get. But like I said earlier, free agent compensation is a farce. Either have none (my preferred option) or go for the MLB type arrangement that gives the same compensation after a given set of rules has taken place, no matter who it is

Ok, so lets look at them one-by-one:

Would you trade Sylvia for Pick 3? YES

Would you trade Sylvia for Pick 17? YES (assuming our recruiting is now better than when we got Blease with this pick!)

Would you trade Sylvia for Pick 19? YES (assuming our recruiting is now better than when we got Strauss with this pick!)

Would you trade Sylvia for Pick 35? MAYBE? (assuming our recruiting is now better than when we got Bennell with this pick!)

Would you trade Sylvia for Pick 53? NO (mind you, we got McDonald with this pick!)

I'm interested to know, would people trade him for about pick 35?

He's a free agent, so it's a moot point

I don't know why there is any free agent compo anyway

Restraint of trade if you ask me........

Hawthorn are blessed with their recruiting. They picked up Shaun Burgoyne at the end of 2009 when he was 26, going on 27 and his career was in a rut. He's now been an important member of his team for four years but last night, without his efforts, they would have been celebrating Mad Monday on the day after next.

Stuart Dew says hi too! It's more than blessed

I think the Tiges are cleverly maneuvering him out. imo, they've given up on him.

Interesting thought. Give up on a sure fire talent that would walk into nearly every team in the competition and potentially get nothing in return. Can't see that being the case.

Not if we get it for a PP

The AFL have already given out the draft order and Andrew Demetriou has already said that GWS will enjoy Tom Boyd

Pick one is not on the table. FULL STOP

Got my hopes up there for a second.

Hopes, dreams, the works..... All built up and crushed in 5 seconds.

Elliot's was the best. A old school mark

Natanui's mark is replicated every single week

Howe was stiff not to get in for degree of difficulty
