Fairly simple aim this week, win and play finals.

Good post.

Well the rumours are starting, I suppose we are getting to that time of year. If you examine carefully the way Goodwin spoke about Watts in the after match this week, your rumour could have legs. I heard today that Kent and Frost are the players to Carlton, with the rest being the same as yours. Who knows?

Well we need to win and hope for the miracle suns win tonight, to round out the weekend .

Would have thought a fair bit of water has to go under the bridge first: He has to leave Adelaide. He has to select us as his new club. We have to do a deal with the Crows.

A big win over the lions, with big losses by Dogs and Eagles, would make it a good AFL weekend. Bombers dropping the unloseable game against Suns would top it off nicely.

Yeah Crows are really struggling.

No.

I was not a fan early this year, but he has improved, possibly due to becoming familiar with our style of play. He does have the ability to kick long on both feet and that makes him a little unpredictable to the opposition. Turning out a good get for us.

Think you will find it is dollars over his footy career and well paid work after it ends.

Kelly will be a Blue.

We probably haven't got great value from him so far, but I think Goodwin, Viney, Taylor and Mahoney will back the talented players in and we need more good users of the ball not less.

Salem is as shaky as The MCG. Really you need to think before you make some of your statements. The best user of the ball in the club and you think because of a couple of suspensions and a poor game he may be traded. Toby Greene must be absolutely gone then.

I've never got it wrong.

Well we are, so please win again.

Condolences to family and friends. He and Tommy Lahiff were a football institution.

Probably hoping to copy the Tigers this year and Giants last week, with small forwards playing higher up the ground and I can't believe I am saying this, but with good ball use, flooding back when in possession, giving several options. Or not.

Well, if we win, we are back in the eight.

You value Gibbs highly.

If Gibbs goes to Crows at 29 before next season, I wonder what his value is. What worries me about that deal, is that Carlton will go for Lever themselves. I am told they are into Kelly up to their eyeballs.

Yes.

If we get Lever, then we can concentrate on other areas we are deficient in, such as another quick outside mid and a talented small forward.

The reverse of the Gibbs situation. That could help. Goose/gander.

There is no precedent at the MRP, or when the shoe is on the other foot. Also at the time Scott left, he was seeking a compassionate release for a family issue. Not sure we ever found out what that issue was, or if there even was one. However, if indeed there was an issue, we did the right thing.

I would, but agree it won't happen.
