I am sitting next to Daddy Cool himself Ross Wilson, on a cruise ship going to New Caledonia tomorrow. It’s Called Rock the Boat and features non stop music. Foreigner Thursday and Russell Morris Saturday. Getting me in the mood for Hells Bells at the G especially after I heard an AC DC cover band last night. Banana dacquiries are the go .

It’s bad enough you suggest closing this thread WJ, I mean Hemingway , but you take the name of my horse as your name. This breach is being put before the Board of the Thread to determine a suitable punishment. I favour a whipping. No BBO you can’t have one as well .

Can’t believe it we hit the 1000 pages and I am out of Oz. It is making me homesick.

Have the houses started falling yet?

Heading to Noumea aboard the Rock Cruise. Great music.

Like everything else on here.

There is no doubt we cut Jessie a lot of slack, because of the many issues he had and we were all aware of. Many of those are not current and he may not be given the same leeway by the Dockers fans. Then again he is not a Dee anymore, so it's not our problem. Wish him well.

Either of them have a navicular injury currently and a history of injuries over the last 3 years? Either of them have rumoured off field issues? Either of them poor tacklers and poor at defensive pressure? We weren't shafted. We didn't score a Lachie Weller madness deal, but we weren't shafted. Have a look at how many decent players went for extremely low picks.

May played as a forward as a Junior. Petty also has played forward. Joel Smith will be tried forward. We also have Hannan, VDB and Fritsch as forwards who can play tall. Max can rest forward. Preuss is no worse than Cox and could play patches up forward. Last resort we have Tim Smith who could fill in.

Is it over yet?

I have it on good authority that the club is training Spargo to grow taller.

He was a forward as a Junior.

Trade Week must be finished now.

Thanks, but I know that and posted it earlier. What I was saying is that you look at all the deals to see how we went, not just one.

Actually it includes Tyson out and Preuss in. They are our deals so far.

What if the kid we draft at 23 is another Oliver. How would the deal look then?

So the deal is Hogan and Kent for 6 and 23. Hopefully we keep 23 after getting May and KK. This could yet end up an extremely embarrassing deal for us. We will see how it all ends up after the May/KK deals.

Given that KK deal has taken this long, I would assume it will be part of May deal.

What if player was Bennell?

You are the man.

Has trade week ended?

Yep Tigers signed Dusty for peanuts. About $1.3m peanuts a year for about 6 years.

A player who has no hope of playing 8 years.

It does in compensation from the AFL for losing a player.

Maybe not done in the last few minutes, but drip fed announcements in the last few minutes.
