Should only be on way to game, as they should finish an hour before us.

Melbourne Storm is playing.

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.

And more.

No I said he is a fun guy, fungi.

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

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

You need the lamps.

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.

It's actually the 22.

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.

I presume the club would tell him we see a 3 key forward man forward line as a real weapon and ensuring one of you gets the 3rd best opposition defender and we are also looking at playing Jesse further up the ground and even in defence. Cant ever see the club telling him he was Insurance If I was Sam that would make me happy.

Keep watching.

So if you were one of them you would ask to be traded.

One thing we know is that players get injuries. I think all of Tom, Jesse and Sam missed games this year. I would rather have 3 good key forwards than 2. One can always play in another position if need be.

I owned a horse called Legion, that became a stallion, much like my good self. BTW, we are f....d. Hopefully I can still be posting this in 3 weeks.

And there is nothing wrong or stupid in discussing that on a fan forum.

According to Jon Ralph who spoke to Jesse’s Manager, he is going nowhere. Loves the club and players, just got his licence and happier than he has ever been in Melbourne. Think we can put speculation to bed .

Eagles offered him 6 years at $850k a year and North 7 years at $1.2m a year. If we were in the game, we would have to offer at least 6 years at $1m a year. That would be a $2.4m difference or about $1.2m after Tax give or take.

Best post on the thread.

He is clearly waiting until Eagles season is over. If figures reported/mentioned are true, he would be sacrificing about $3m-$3.5m to play with us. Can't see that happening.

Hugh Goddard delisted by Saints. I really thought this guy was going to be a very good player, but was cruelled by injuries. Think he will be picked up by another club.
