His dad played for Carlton and has mates there.

Grimes is among friends then.

Hope he can make it but to date I have seen no evidence he will. He is a mile behind JKH.

Never in doubt.Told everyone this judge was bright and a straight shooter. He wouldn't buy the Bombers/Hird crap.

Souvlaki Saturday. 68 6 & 8 = 14 1 & 4 = 5

Agree. I reckon Fitzy lacks confidence in his ability. A breakout game could change everything.

If you saw the game last night you would be.

First there was a little rumour that the Swans are interested and we know they get their man when they are. Second, how would it play out if Bombers refused to trade and then he goes to Court. It could go on for months and how does a new club put him on their list if it is after the relevant dates for lists. The AFL would have to pass a new rule to allow that to happen. You could have players then bobbing up all through a season wanting to change clubs. I suppose if the AFL want a result they will engineer it. Only thing I know for sure is that we won't benefit.

Agree. Decision Monday.

I think whatever we do, unless we get real mid stars in a trade, we should aim to get at least one top mid from the draft. If that is Petracca or Brayshaw then we should take 1 and then maybe trade the other pick assuming we get 3 for Chip. If the crystal ball said they would both be great, I would be happy to take both if we could, that seems unlikely. We appear certain to trade at least 1 high pick.

And plenty of others like Sloane, Rockliff, Shuey etc.This is what I find so absolutely frustrating and so hard to deal with, if forum people can pick better players with their limited resources and time, why was our recruiting bloke so absolutely pathetic and incompetent. Every team has its champions and stars, even Nathan Jones, our best, couldn't make the AA 40 player squad. No rising star, no AA squad member, no MVP vote getter, no member of the under 22 team, 38 wins in 8 years. Single handedly this bloke destroyed us and now we are trying to rebuild and thank God with a new structure. Looking at Sydney and how good they are, the only thing that gives me hope is Roos. He was there. He started it. He brought in Longmire. He traded for players. He was the architect. Along with PJ we have the right people and that gives me hope they will turn this place around. Last for those people on here who are too proud to receive some special assistance if we manage to fluke some, have a look at the Hawks and Swans they got it and weren't too proud to take it and look where they are. Incidentally the best player last night and probably second best in the game was a PP. funny that isn't it. Before anyone tries to shoot me down, I agree a PP won't win us a flag but it will help if we use it correctly to IMPROVE us at least to some small degree. Go Roos and PJ and give me a club to be be proud to support again, it has been too long.

They have already been dealt with by the AFL. This is about ASADA.

I think Mitchell is the only realistic chance of that group and we would have to fight off Carlton. Mitchell is not a superstar either. He does have a background with Roos having lived with the Roos family.

Do we think Bomber is hanging around in case Hird gets the flick?

You mean the people on here can count backwards?

Concentrate on the countdown boys.

Who said?

I don't think he said Pies, but he clearly intimated he was gone.

We will not take any FA's. Delisted FA's are different. We will not again, water down our compo.

One or more priority selections.

Biff, BBO, Jazza you can get excited, because friday is your day, yes it is 69.

Carlton has been mentioned on every player named as a possible change of clubs. Looks like they will need a list allowance of 80 players.

Pretty quiet on the footy news front at the moment.

You mean not having a good 8 years.

Thursday I heard on the grapeViney is 70. 7 & 0 = 7
