Pick 25 will end up being about 30 when Acadamy players and GC extra pick from last year comes in.

Tuesday 42

Big day for us on the trade front. Cats had a quiet one, picking up Dangerfield and Scott Selwood.

When was the trade completed?

Who said?

and Horses?

But you have 100% faith in me.

Is Howe going to the banana state?

In the Mackinnon on Derby Day.

The Colt 45 was a hand gun, popular in the wild west. A colt, this time a horse, owned by friends of mine, won its Group 1 last start and runs in the Toorak handicap today, another group 1. Its name is Stratum Star.

Saturday 45

Would you accept a Banana Republic shop card?

Friday 46

47 Oh the excitement.

Thanks for reminding me and here it is: 48

You just have to try and one up me don't you?

Started the day on the right note with a Banana and Mango juice.

Yes this is a part of the season we can be involved in, the off season, as we don't ever seem to be involved in that part that has the finals.

And helped out by Neitz, Bruce, Yze and Fagan.

Jack Martin and Jesse were the top 2 under 17's by a mile and available to GWS to be traded for compo picks. GC had the first pick and took Martin, leaving us Jesse. Then the recruiting took over and we swapped pick 20 for Dawes and the indigenous winger whose name I forget, who has retired. It could be easily argued both were a bust.

If you want to have a very good idea of why we are where we are, look at the JT draft and look at the top 20 picks. Guess who played the least AFL games since and would be the biggest bust of the top 20? Answer is Gysberts, who was taken over Talia, ( the overwhelming choice of the Demonland posters at that pick), but what would they know. Prendergast was the genius behind that move and also Tapscott, the big bodied, small player who had no real postion to call his own. He was also the genius behind Lucas Cook, our number 12 pick who never played an AFL game and a host of other wasted draft picks. I see Prendergast's time at the club, as the single biggest reason we are where we are ATM. Thank God Taylor and Roos are trying to change things. We have under Roos turned over 50% of the list and that could hit 75% by the end of drafting time this year. We also have Brendan Mc Cartney heading our development program and Goodwin in the wings ready to Coach. We also have a decent CEO running the club. We are being given every chance to become a good club again.

Or Essendon.

Wonder who is responsible for the drug article on the Eagles, in the Sun today, 2 days before the GF.
