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.

From today's Age - AFL rules out priority picks this year

So many rumours and so many players we are allegedly after, my head is spinning.

More often than the moon.

Sun saying today Wellingham to WC, Lynch to Pies and Caddy maybe to Roos. It will be very hard for us to get players, we are clearly not a desired destination. FD have their work cut out for them. We better get some Swans spirit.

Great game, sh-thouse entertainment. AFL should be ashamed. 12 months to prepare a few cars with retired players and some olympians, one Paul Kelly song and 3 Temper Trap songs. Hopeless.

Congrats Swans.

Dale Roberts just interviewed on the pre game show. He is out there now.

Apparently there is a game on today. Lets get it over with and then we can move on to the important part of this season for us. The other part was pretty sh-thouse.

We are headed for a very interesting few weeks. When all is said and done, if we could get a couple of good mids in trading, like Wellingham and say Stevens, then draft a few more like JV ,Toumpas and maybe MacRae, we would be far better off than we are currently.

Gerard Whately declared him gone last night.

Cloke stays , so that's the first domino.

One can only hope. I must say that when Bailey was Coach and we knew we were rebuilding, I accepted our plight. This year however has been a disaster. Hopefully we don't see a repeat, as it is finally getting to me.

Really enjoy reading the trade speculation. Pity though that a lot of it is just made up and never a chance of happening.

Just heard that Dale Roberts is not going to the Draft camp. Clearly trying to fly under the radar.

We will get saturday out of the way and then we can get down to the real football, trading and drafting.

They will get rid of a few to fit him in. I was told as well as him they after Caddy, Moloney, Rivers and others. Pretty aggressive, like when they changed Coaching panel.

My info is that Goddard is off to the Bombers.

Weather is looking poor for GF day. I think that favours the Swans.
