Normally I do a countdown to the draft, now I feel should do one to friday, for those who can't work out how many days that is.

That's called sitting back and doing nothing. I am sure we will be targeting someone. I recall last year it was said that we would be in the free agent race. PS. Hogan is in the same category as Lever, don't you rate him?

And more.

No I said he is a fun guy, fungi.

We had a worse record than Carlton, which has had a stack of number 1 picks, yet didn't get a PP when we asked for one. Why should Carlton? They have pick number 1 again and stars in Cripps and Curnow to build the side around.

North could improve quickly with Gaff, Polec and Thomas. Who are we adding to our list?

Absolutely. But that is for another thread.

?

Spoke to Alistair Nicholson who was there with his son. Obviously still a Dees man.

Fun guy. Think I will call him "mushroom."

I am pretty cheesed off with that name.

Was there with son and his two kids. Enjoyed the morning and the boys looked fine.

Please Dees wipe the smile off that bloke. Please.

I would take Preuss just to ensure he doesn't kill any of our players.

You need the lamps.

Yes it is a risk, but apparently he is basically doing everything he will do in a match, without being risked in a VFL match, a week before he is meant to be 100%.

That is a good side. I would swap Salem and Fritsch positions. I would swap AVB for ANB and think next year at some stage Lewis will go and Hunt could come in.

I posted a few days ago, that Viney was targeting the first final and that at that stage he would be fit and ready to go. Therefore I thought they wouldn't risk him for Casey, wouldn't need to and that it was one week before he was fully ready.

It's actually the 22.

I think you thought wrong.

Wonderful problem to have when we finally have more than 22 good players to fit into the side.

Think we are going to see a lot of players' names thrown up in trade rumours this year.

Think you are under by at least $300k a year.

Good player, universally liked and gave us his best in over 100 games. He was a great get. Thanks Bernie, enjoy retirement from playing AFL.
