Chook

Surely they'd at least be willing to match the shade of red to our jumper. I know it's not the exact colour, but it's still red. Having said that, priority 1 is a back of jumper sponsor. Priority 2 is making sure the logos work well with our existing colour scheme.

I wish I could just casually bring up my plans for a $10 000 holiday . . .

They mentioned Leigh Matthews' comments on League Teams too.

It would be great if the actual logo is just the plane/mouse thing without the big red box. Our Primus logo was great because it was just the name, with no distracting colours around it. Pumped to get a sponsor, and I'm interested to see how the final image will look. Also, Trenners made a pretty big stuff-up mentioning the old sponsor by name. I would imagine that would be the first thing he would have been told not to do before coming onto the show. It doesn't really matter, but I'd like to distance the club from that old mob as much as possible.

That's probably because his fitness is so poor. He's to tired to kick the ball properly.

Who gives a toss where he was picked? That has no bearing on anything six years after his draft.

The rumour is that Eddy McGuire had a role in it. I don't know how big a role he had, though.

IN: Davey, Tapscott, Morton, Martin OUT: Green, Petterd, Macdonald, Bennell (omitted). Interesting to see no Moloney. Davey in for another crack at providing the crumbing presence we need. Also, what's up with Ricky Petterd's form early in seasons? Last year he was out of the side for weeks to start the year, and the same sort of thing is happening this year too.

Apparantly Green's been dropped, which I can't say is a huge shock. Davey's in also, so I hope his (reputedly) improved fitness can propel him back in time to an era when small forwards roamed the G and took down lumbering giants left and right.

He was near-best on ground against Collingwood in Round 2, so he played at least one good game early in 2010.

Five senior coaches in six years. Bizzare!

That raises an interesting question. Do you have to be the biological son of a 100 game player in order to be elegible for father/son, or is it sufficient to merely be a son by law (ie adopted)?

Thanks all for the info!

Billy Stretch's father was a little before my time. How would one describe the way he played? And how does young William play?

Likely OUTS for this round include the following: A. Davey, J. Macdonald, S. Blease, B. Green, J. Bennell, J. McKenzie, C. Morton (Omitted), C. Sylvia, N. Jetta, L. Jurrah, D. Nicholson (Injured) T. Scully (Hip Pocket) Very different side.

The irony is that Rocky has that vision after Mick dies. Micky was too much of a curmudgeon to say he loves anyone.

Interesting article. If what he's saying is true, then it's lucky we got a refund for the light-bodied Tom Scully.

But the point is that we need established stars to show our young'uns how it's done. How will picking up more young players help us fix our cultural problems?

Brendon Goddard!!!

I noticed a time when Clint Bartram was the only one willing to run back when the Eagles got their umpteenth quick break and took the initiative to match up on DEAN COX of all people. Seriously, how does that even happen? Until more talented players are willing to do the work that Clint Bartram does, he will remain in the side.

If the Cats won again this year, they'd be set for about seventy years of no flags. In a system which is geared around performance equalisation, that's just unbelievable.

This is an interesting approach. I would never do it, but never changing your team would quickly become a very effective message. I'd love to know what exactly it would do, however, because it could backfire badly.

If something like that happened to me, I'd come out breathing fire. Not everybody would, but you'd think that at least a few of our players would react this way. It doesn't seem that any of them have, which indicates that they are not greatly affected by recent events, at least from a performance perspective.

Fremantle supporters strongly believe that the best thing that ever happened to their club was that Chris Connolly and Cameron Schwab moved on. Is it a coincidence that Freo's coming along and we're in the biggest hole we've been in, possibly ever?

Jamar, Moloney, Magner, Jones, Bate is a very physically strong midfield and it will be very difficult for the young tigers to counteract that. Our forward line is better than their backline, and our backline is better than their forward line. That spells a win for the Dees.
