Possibly a couple more Whites to follow.

Surely Petty is one. Couldn't Fullarton play a spoiling key back role? Even AJ might be able to play a key back role. Disco can play back and Adams is improving. There is still a Draft and Trade and FA to fill holes.

This could be big.

Yep.

More than 20% of our list unavailable before our first game.

5 years left on contract and he will be 34. This seems to be about some issue with his management and probably his future commercial opportunities.

Keefe.

Jackson would be enormous for us. He is better than nearly any key forward we have, with only JVR in the discussion. He is a ruckman who would be great playing with Max, as we know and especially more valuable after he is gone. He is also good around the ground and is effectively another big mid. It's probably easier to replace Kozzie, than find a Jackson.

If we have a good season this year, watch the player agents sounding us out for their players who want to move clubs.

If Giants beat Pies, I think they will not risk Green, but if they lose they might feel they need to play him. With the bye the next week after our game, you would think they would give him the extra two weeks to recover.

Ran 3rd, a great effort for a 9 year old. Probably have 1-2 more runs before retirement. Don't forget Centre Square in race 4 today at Edenhope, with Clarry and me as part owners.

I note we are on page 34, the same number Dees' jumper that is vacant this year.

Must be a syndicator. Good way to have an interest in a racehorse cheaply.

Can’t wait for the pre zero round.

Giants have a bye after our game, so unless he was 100% fit, they would probably give him the the extra fortnight.

The wither. If you like clams, I have Vongole running in the last at Moonee Valley friday night.

Saw Clarry at Ciaron Maher stable doing interviews yesterday. Update on horse he is in with me. Has been disappointing lately and it is having probably its last start for us on saturday, in race 4 at Edenhope. It’s number 1 and prophetically called “ centre square “. Tbh, I only took a share, ignoring my usual selection methods, because Clarry was involved.

Are you talking to me?

Which Clarry is brilliant at.

Info on it happening, not on an announcement. I think the club said we hoped to have it all agreed by about July.

Hopefully we are going to get an announcement soon that the project is approved and going ahead. That will of course narrow the discussion on our future training ground and administration centre, which will be at Caulfield Racecourse.

You mean lucky to replace AMW.

Caulfield is a lovely suburb.

No, but generally 35 scoring shots will. We butchered set shots and kicking only an AFL average would have seen us win convincingly.

If its 35 at game time, I would be seeking agreement to shorten quarters and play all of the emergencies on a rotation basis to give more breaks.
