How many did Stretch start as sub? Time to bust out the asterisks.

I mentioned I had a girlfriend, right?

Sometimes when my girlfriend steps on my toe I yell owe and then realise it didn't hurt whatsoever. I then milk her apologies if I sense she might fetch me a soothing whisky and have me recuperate on the couch. .

Gil McLachlan, Mark Evans, Sheehan. Bartlett, Luke Darcy, Frawley, Jakovich, Ling, Matthew Richardson, and Tredrea. Is still the make-up of the Rising Star panel? Clayton is a footballer. If the panelists take their role seriously and review the footage come season's end (where the 1%ers and the like become more evident) then this kid is a very strong chance to take home the trophy.

Not sure if you're confessing to something illegal here bin . . .

This. There are two big assumptions being commonly made. That Freo are his only potential suitors in the West in the event of homesickness and that he'll be signing a mega-long contract now. There are fair reasons for these assumptions but certainly arguments why neither are definite.

Spot on. As a developing team the boys need to stay focused and take it one flag at a time.

So they have currency for an upgrade.

Wait, there are two WA teams, right?

? For presenting them with such a complete ruin of a club that they had a rare opportunity to mould us from the very ground up?

I hope I haven't misled you in any way Hocko. Was just having a playful poke at one of the board's regular contributors. But if anyone here does have any influence within the club perhaps a brief letter on Hocko's behalf wouldn't go astray? Or maybe if someone on here was considering taking out a membership they could talk to the club about a special once-off two-for-one deal under the circumstances?

I heard Saty is mates with that Christian Salem bloke at the club. Maybe he can put a quiet word?

A different type of queasy.

Can we all join in for a few random posts here? Seeing 2009 in the thread-count makes me feel a bit queasy.

Hogan? It feels quite bizarre that we also have another top 10 KPF who is being largely ignored on here for the time being.

Did you check his shopping basket for paleo compliance Pineapple Dee?

I left the house today. Bananas at one of the superoglimarkets in the NT $4 down from $6.75. It's skin and mush - cheers and die.

TRB - I'm not okay with 53mb. Can you please summarise for us? Your thoughts of course.

Dee-luded - there's a bloke at Geelong who would be perfect. Just can't get out on the park though.

Lamashtu? Where does JV fiddling with our draft history fit? Obviously Nathan Jones would be the T-5000, the living embodiment of Skynet. His mission is to corrupt the leader of the future Melbourne premiership team, Angus Brayshaw, into a T-3000. He then corrupts an entire team of VFL-spec players into believing they are capable of being AFL-spec and winning more than 4 games in one season. Of course this doesn't factor in the time-travelling subplot where Simon Goodwin returns to 2011 and makes copies of Essendon's drugs program spreadsheets, before Vlad can tip them off.

I saw an advert for a pet-tracker today. We could call him Ace.

But I'd suggest this is more JackTrengove.

JackWatts would look positively regal in such garb.

I actually secretly want him to stay. Not for the exact but for similar reasons people want Garland to stay: I like him.

Just had a thought (rare). Brisbane are in need of forwards and the AFL want marquee players up north - if they made a big dollar play for Howe we could get seriously bent over. Maybe we should offer Jeremy a handsome bridging contract to see him through to free agency so we can maximise the best return and insure against getting screwed? Or have I got it wrong that he could slip through to the pre-season draft?
