Why do they need to capture a white walker? Why not good old uncle BenJen? Or a child of the forest? And whats with this cut throats dagger being passed around? Is it possible that it was the original dagger that produced the Nights King and it will show up in the very last battle with him?And does the marriage annulment mean that Jon Snow is actually the true Targaryan ruler? My mind is either GoT or Dees best 22. No room for anything else.

Be interesting to see how much currency Gibbs and Gaz have at their respective ages.

This still stinks.

I was told a different story last weekend. Not that I believe it but it went like: Hird's fervent denial that the players were injected with supplements depends on his belief that Dank had taken money for "the good stuff" but that Dank had not gone through with injecting the team with what he (Dank), finally realised was now prohibited. Hird found out the injections were actually saline and that Dank had not come through and had dudded Hird. Thats why Hird was wanting to have the actual records and not what was discussed and paid for. Obviously even if this was true, his intent was real. Not sure if this had been thrown up before as I hadnt kept up with the thread.

Am I the only one who doesnt really care if we dont have that many nominations? 2 or 3 are plenty.

That is one tough handshake. How good is this kid? Go Clarry!

"Playing Tall" always reminds me of Brad Green and Cam Bruce. Brad played tall at 183cm but Cam's 190 cm always seemed shorter.

Id say better than even chance. I want him traded.

Well Rory Sloane re-signed after his parents moved back from Adelaide to Upwey. Well done Adelaide, I guess. Bad luck Saints and Dees who both had claims. I thought he was gone.

Brian Nankervis - Collingwood Tex Perkins - St Kilda Paul Kelly - Adelaide (previously Melbourne) David Hobson - Melbourne David Larkins (Dallas Crane) - Essendon (currently working at MFC)

Ive heard from 2 quite different sources that the saints are going for 2 meter Peter. If not him they are trading for a tall forward i.e. Cameron. Both the sources Ive heard from are believed to be in the know from other saint supporters. I just hope we dont get the Petracca pick traded from right in front of us.

I think North would be prepared to pay way over the odds for Brayshaw. If we happen to be in position to exploit that, why wouldnt we? As mdemonski2 says my thoughts drifted to Jake Ziebell, too. As a 23yr old he would certainly be a great get as Crossy sunsets. But other than him, I dont know what they have that they would be prepared to trade, or that we would take.

I wonder if we could deal with North for a player and their #13 pick so they could get Brayshaw?

Those who do not remember the past are condemned to repeat it.

Ray Donovan has gone to the top of my "look for new episodes" list. Not for everyone and it Takes a little bit to get used to, but the character Jon Voight plays is a classic.

Robbo was a really bad kick at goal for a couple of years before he got his action correct. Admittadly goal kicking is not field kicking but IIRC Robbo came off a low base and became quite a good shot.

There is at least one family I know who had a board member at that time who now dont follow Melbourne. Sad.

Two good series are Touch (only 2 episodes so far) and Awake.

Funnily enough i was ok in front of the family watching Channel 9's eulogy Wednesday night until Gary Lyon came on. He's got soul Gaz.

I guess I would be struggling to debate that this is Soul Jazz. Maybe I could argue that ... nuh. Got nuthing. But i like this thread, and I really get a kick when Tom looks at the hippie and sings that he should cut his hair. Check the fashions! Tom seems to dress to the left. And old shaky neil looks totally strung out. CSN in town at present too.

I guess Im really putting up all my soul Jazz favorites and most of them are recorded during the Demons salad days. Here is something not told in the movie Ray. Ray Charles was a Jazz boy genius before he took to singing R'n B. On this track , an instrumental, he plays both Guitar and Alto Sax. (around the 5 minute mark).The back of my vinyl re-iterates how '50s jazz followers felt spurned (think Dylan going electric 10 years later but on a smaller scale) and never followed him down the road to Rythm and Blues. How long blues is one i turn too late night in my cups at the end of each football year.

Herbie Mann in 1962. It goes for 8 minutes but is Classic Soul Jazz.If you do like it (it is after all jazz flute) check the youtube link to listen to Herbie Manns version of the Classic "Sunny". many versions of this song are available with the most popular being the Boney M disco version. Herbies version is truer to the sentiments of the song (IMO) even though there are no vocals. The song was written by a young guy about his older brother getting killed the day after JFK. Because he wanted to remember him in a happy disposition rather than a lousey disposition he wrote Sunny. One for Two Sheds jackson.

Half way through "Boss" and I heartily recommend it.

Boss with Kelsey Grammer is one new series I have been watching. I think its pretty good.

Thanks Macca - really enjoyed the Duke. Here is one of my favorites, Les Mc Cann and Eddie Harris.Compared to What. Word was that Eddie harris was booked to play the 1969 montreaux Jazz fest with the band but they hadnt had time to practise and ended up getting blasted backstage before coming on.Les told Eddie just to watch and wait for him to come in and do his thing. it worked beautifully and I never knew the original was on Youtube but have just found it. Sock it to me!
