Dawes is not on $700k, please show me where they got that figure from if you are going to throw it out there. He is rumoured to be on around $500k. http://www.theage.com.au/afl/afl-news/dawes-now-a-2-million-demon-20121016-27pmn.html

Homer: Prestia? Marge: No we can't afford Prestia... Homer: Prestia? Marge: We are on a budget. Homer: Prestia? Marge: Umm, yeah, sure. Prestia...

Not playing with a full set if you think the Trengove deal to Richmond was all but done... THEIR doctor saw something in the MRI. That means we agreed and they were doing their due diligence in the medical.

More talented he means.

Makes more sense when I read it backwards...

Yeah, that's it. I cannot stand it when big forwards lead to a pocket in lieu of the Most Dangerous Spot on the ground. "There's people there!" they cry. Yeah, there are. There is a reason why they're there...

I think that picture was of Selwood after Dunn gave him a 'I won't be playing against WCE' shot to the guts...

Did we push them over? Probably not. But we kicked them in the nuts in front of people that like them - so that'll have to do...

How did he get there? It's your hypothetical - in what reality could we have picked him up in the RL? Certainly not this one.

Give it up. It's not going to happen.

Personally, I would like to recruit very good players. Very good players are ok by me. I think if you asked Jones and Hogan and Tyson - they would also like us to recruit very good players.

Gotta pay someone.

Garland won't get much, neither will Grimes, Watts maybe a little more but Howe might get a first rounder from some idiot who wants to get 'people through the gates'... Frankly, I don't mind keeping all 4 of these players, my issue is replacing the 36th to 40th players on your list with players who are in your best 18. Trading Grimes for Pick 43 doesn't interest me. Getting Dangerfield in FA however...

It's a credit to him that he has lifted the expectation in ten games to the point where being beaten is an aberration...

This will be deleted soon, as well as my response, but what a ridiculous thing to say. You don't know him, and the situation we faced as a club a few years ago cannot simply be laid at the feet of Schwab and CC. They love the club as much as you do. And that little aside about the 'jokester' tells me you don't have much against him other than a bad joke that was jumped on by some bitter individuals to grind their axes on, that began the investigation into 2009.

He could play better and see the footy less and have less involvement - as any forward - he is reliant on others to be effective. Hogan is not the focus of the test of these next three weeks - his midfielders are.

The only thing that will 'stunt' his progress, or make some believe it is stunting, is if we don't get enough footy, quickly enough, to him. I have seen enough - now it is up to the team to feed a forward line that, by the looks of it, has been overhauled in the last couple years and set up for success.

Beat St Kilda at Etihad a week after beating the Pies on QB and that is four of the above... Some are more meaningful than others though. Beating Geelong down at Mordor would be huge, and of course beating Hawthorn, but Geelong are on a precipice - I would love to push them over...

Marked one off last year when we beat the Crows over there.

All I see is a talented kid.

Nah.

Better than 'Pet.' I said pet, I said love, I said darl, I said pet - get the effing ball! Actually, I don't mind that...

A clinic? Like an AusKick clinic? What an abstract celebration for a middle aged woman... I like it!

I have hope, just no time for the hype...

That's not to say I am not excited by the fact we look to be getting two mids who know hoe to get the pill. That's what we need. It's hopefully what we get.
