Melksham is a better player than Michie.

Dank, for nearly 4 years, has been spouting the same garbage, that the truth will come out. During this time he has refused to give evidence to a myriad of hearings. Steve/James don't worry, the truth has already come out and it is this " an incompetent Bomber administration, presided over an illegal drug taking operation, by its players and put their professional and personal futures at risk ".

We have plenty of youngsters on our list. It is not a failing this year, to not have taken another. If we wanted another, we would have paid out Terlich. We clearly wanted some more experience and hence the three we traded for. Not everyone added to a list makes the 22, especially in the first year anyway. It is done, so let's move on.

So that is now Lloyd and Hird disagreeing with Reid on this point. One of Hird and Reid is either telling porkies or is badly mistaken.

No shock with Jerry and Rupert, they have been an item for a few months.

To be honest I would have loved to get Collins. But it is what it is.

Calm down, we will upgrade a rookie and might unearth a champion. It is not the end of the world.

Yes we upgrade a Rookie. He was only a twisted knee away from missing a year anyway. Any trade has risks. Saints have lost pick 5. Port are bigger losers than us too. Most on here didn't rate Melksham anyway. It is what it is. We move on.

Ziggy Stardust aka David Bowie dead at 69. RIP David a real trend setter and innovative performer.

Clear, concise, simple message. Great. Another example of our improved list. White has played an AFL game and looks to have a fair AFL career ahead of him, Michie has played games at AFL level, King has showed improvement and is a possible AFL player of the future, with some physical development and Wagner has played senior footy in a lower level competition. Smith is the longshot of the group.

Well CP appears to have given him another spot to aim for in the opening round.

Thought if I could snare Ollie Wines it would be worth it.

Would assume he doesn't manage him.

In Port Adelaide and looking for Ollie Wines. They have obviously hidden him away.

Still remember all those Demonlanders who wanted to get rid of him about 6-7 years ago. Hilarious.

Will definitely watch my spring rolls in future.

Harmes is the perfect example of our improved list. He is not a guaranteed first 22 player, yet he can play and is improving, adding contested high marking to his armoury. No one would be panicking if he is in the team and that demonstrates our improved depth.

Saw a dead ringer for Old Dee in Port Arthur. Obviously OD is descended from a long line of convicts. Next annual dinner I will watch my spring rolls very carefully.

In Port Arthur looking for any tough prisoners who can pay footy.

Are we talking about Dawes now?

Have no concern, this thread is like a Premiership, it just keeps on giving.

Disagree here. I think Boyd has escaped the media and fan scrutiny that Watts has copped and Jack isn't getting more than $1m a season either, or bailed on his club after 1 year. There is another player at GWS, in jumper number 9, who gets about $1.2m a year and has played pretty ordinary footy, who also seems to escape scrutiny after bailing on his club.

Something we are trying to do now.

Especially, when no one is expecting him to be a star for us.

There are some on Demonland, who fail to understand the beauty and tranquility of this thread, let alone the sage advice given and knowedge gained by being a reader of it. To that end, I have decided to appease the masses and throw in a football reference in my posts on here, whenever I remember to. Also, being the New Year I have vowed to personally improve as a human being and to that end, I am now adding honey to my banana smoothies and I know that MANY PLAYERS IN THE AFL, also enjoy banana smoothies. (Note the footy reference).
