jumbo returns

Seriously? Aus Open in January, Test cricket and Christmas in December. Relax.

Except he aint injured with [censored] hips.

Davey?

Massive NO.

Things aren't that bad. We don't know the internal machinations of the club....the place could be buzzing. They've got some terrific young kids, they'll draft 2 or 3 more and they've lost Salopek, Pearce and Chaplin....spuds of the highest order. I think it's important to keep all this in perspective. Remember, we've just had the year from hell.

Stef?

Denham just reported that Wellingham was offered big money by the club, but wouldn't even entertain the thought of coming to Melbourne.

His sponsor would be Elastoplast.

Great surname....shocking footballer.

Of course the Pies are going to start at 4. We offer 26 (or whatever) we close at 13/14. Too easy.

Won't haggle? How much for this gourd?

Can't stay on the park.....

Pick 4 has historically been a bad pick by weaker teams... Cale M, Hamish Hartlett (PA), Tambling (ouch!), etc.... Better what we know??

Total shocker....we kicked the first 3 points. Now I'm watching West Coast use the boys as a training drill but there are 2 positives emerging.....Nathan Jones is enormous and Clark is a monster....bring on 2013!

You'd assume that every recruiting manager would be chatting to the 'potential' top 10? Surely? Or, you don't chat to Dustin Martin......

I understand that you put him there as a suggestion....it was just in the HUN today they alluded that his hip injury might be a factor. stuie and I had a good debate about Grundy - ex basketballer, apparently a real tank? Good pick up?

Did I read somewhere that Toumpas had a 'worsening' hip injury?

The game was baked by half time, WYL. Such an emotional day.

Watched this game today and looking back, what a wasted year by Neeld in some respects. Moloney, Green and Davey were all cooked before the season started. Rivers was still handballing to a stagnant target, Joel Mc was trying to mark from behind, Martin was running around like a headless chook and Bartram was brave, but inadequate. Cleanout time.

Definitely school holidays.

Seriously, trout, Franklin would never, never, leave Hawthorn for any coin. He strikes me as a the kind of bloke who's happy at the Hawks, loves the profile and is looking at a Brownlow and another premiership over the next 3 - 4 years.

School holidays?

If he get Dawes it'll be a magnificent coup. Not only will it support our Mitch, but he's a forward and that's all his role will be. I will applaud Neeld and Harrington to the ends of time if they get this done. Richmond can keep their spud FAs.

Yep - just saw that, thanks.

When did Lynch sign with Collingwood?
