Think things will quieten down over the next 2 weeks, until the final couple of days of trading.

BB, have you been smoking the banana skins?

I thought I heard something when I was on Demonland earlier.

I can't I am addicted. Some of the rubbish defies belief, but it's great reading.

Amen. You know I can't mention him, but I was thinking, how funny would it be, with Whitfield and Toumpas and others added to the GWS list, if he can't make the side. $1M a year to play in the local seconds.

Few deals done. Think we will have Hogan tomorrow or Wednesday, the way Harrington was gushing about him. If we can get pick 20 back in the deal I can see the Dawes deal being done for that quickly, so Pies can move on. Eddie is referring to him as a past player already. He seems happy to come to us, unlike Wellingham and Caddy.

And now the trade fun begins.

Get 4 of the Jacks to ring him, Grimes, Trengove, Viney and Watts.

We kept 3 and got JV for 26. I am happy. well done Dees.

That will be nothing compared to how I will feel if we lose 3.

Just give me time to get back from Court and get the computer fired up.

I am looking forward to trade week far more that I am looking forward to 10 AM monday. I have no doubt we will take JV, but I am just fearful that we have lost pick 3. If so, I will be on here monday venting. On the other hand if JV slips to our second round, I will be first in line to congratulate our FD for a job well done.

Daylight saving and one hour less until we know JV's fate.

Will be pretty disappointing if the Premier lands the biggest fish in the off season. May have to pay some chips to get him but they will find a way. Probably throw in a burger.

Haven't had fish and chips for a while.

Don't know.

I see there is another thread on the show but for readers of this one, I thought the show was good. Robbo did well. They covered Ron's life pretty well and it was entertaining. Chris Connolly and a number of staff there last night including Ellie McKenzie. Chris told me the list and recruiting people were very busy at the moment.

Seeing the show Barassi tonight. Will give a report tomorrow.

The AFL has hit a winner with this month long rumour fest. The publicity generated is keeping footy at the forefront in the off season.

I suggest a banana smoothie and a couple of panadol.

I've said Suns since the story broke and I am not changing.

I have so much on my mind, I am getting a migraine and will surely not sleep until the rookie draft is over in December. Some of the issues I am dealing with are: will JV get through to the second round, will we get Dawes, Wellingham, Stevens, Caddy, Pedersen, Rodan, Jacobs, Butcher, Salopek, Byrnes, Young, etc, will we lose Martin, Rivers, Moloney, Morton, Petterd, Spencer, Cook, Davis, Bennell, Bate, Dunn, Sylvia etc, will we get anything for Jurrah, what compo will we get for Rivers, Moloney and Bate, will we trade for Hogan, will we draft Toumpas , Grundy, Kennedy, MacRae, Stringer, Mayes, Wines, Jaksch etc. This a nightmare..

Bombers have gone hard to get Goddard. Hope it upsets a few of their other players.

There is a lot of misinformation out there.
