How about we wear face-masks and maybe the beanie and leggins Garlett was rocking at training? It'll be like some Mortal Kombat get-up for the kiddies over there and absolutely frightful if Viney was closing in for a tackle in an assassin-ensemble.

I was just tetchy and having a sook because I want Petracca in the team NOW! The Demons bloody owe me.

Round 5 but the sentiment stands. Did you just completely erase the second round from your memory?

I hadn't noted Hogan when I was thinking about it because I had overlooked him (due to not being on the primary 2013 list). Pretty simple, and I'm not sure what argument I made in that post that suits Hogan's inclusion or not. As for the Neeld comment, apologies for my immaturity, it was crude short-hand to note the evident damage we did to the long-term shape of the list during that era. My main argument still stands. That the past two years have been a rebuild beyond natural attrition.

Hopefully this is entirely tongue-in-cheek. I'm not usually reactive but find just the suggestion particularly insulting. A teenager working hard enough to reach the top of his draft class and then spending a year rehabbing a knee injury before missing out on selection is not a reasonable opportunity to take a swipe at an entire generation.

I had actually been thinking about this as well, noting the numbers that played on the weekend (not counting Hogan). Turning over ten a season still seems a little higher than usual though and there have been a few extra that have come and gone in Paul's time. Interesting looking at the list of survivors. Probably another half-dozen to be cut/squeezed out over the next twelve months. On another note - FU Neeld! 2016 (to date): N.Jones Jetta McDonald Watts Gawn Viney Kent M.Jones (core) Dunn Pedersen Garland Grimes (omits) Dawes Trengove Spencer (inj.) Terlich (Terlich)

I also recall they said Goodwin was measured in his responses, even in an informal setting. I get the sense that Roos is generally directing his comments toward AFL House and the team in his interviews. Maybe Goody has learned a few tricks.

What are the opposition going to do? Tell Watts he's terrible and suddenly undermine all our hard work on the track building his self-esteem?

I only watch it for the articles.

Running through a ladder indoors doesn't sufficiently reflect genuine match-day conditions.

Maybe that should have been 'note to selves'.

Freaky. Note to self: read entire thread before posting.

Petracca doesn't have a mum. He was developed in a laboratory.

Alternating penalty kick-ins. Taken from the same end to counter any advantage in conditions. Play on until the ball is dead or a score registered. First team to open a seven-point break wins. And maybe some sort of reverse center-square restrictions until the kick is taken. ?

Lids in a back pocket (and Astbury and his suspect ankle in another)?

RuPaul is apparently a girl's name.

Deep-pocketed Demons fans plunging the Tigers to save us from favouritism . . ?

Suggesting Roos took three years to instill a game-plan is a fallacy. The team he inherited no longer exists. This has been a complete rebuild in all but publicly-stated name and was the number one priority. Just a reminder of who is no longer on the list from when he first walked through the door; (How many are AFL standard?) Mitch Clark Jimmy Toumpas Jeremy Howe Colin Sylvia James Frawley Sam Blease Jack Fitzpatrick Jordie McKenzie David Rodan Shannon Byrnes James Strauss Josh Tynan Daniel Nicholson Tom Gillies Joel Macdonald James Sellar Michael Evans Dominic Barry Luke Tapscott Aaron Davey Mark Jamar Troy Davis Rory Taggert Rohan Bail James Magner Tom Couch Nathan Stark Mitch Clisby (Jack Trengove lucky)

'No.1 ruckman and "spiritual leader" Ivan Maric. . .'

What will happen with Daisy when the league goes ahead? Will she re-enter the draft?

It's mesmerising. Like watching a lion lock onto the throat of a gazelle. Jack fixes his gaze on the extended arm and ignores the evasive turns of the body to make the kill.

Cute accents and Caro. Not subjects usually found together in the one thread.

But we traded out of next year's draft to better focus on the now. It's the Tami way.

That Wagner boy goes alright . . .
