He will, start looking at next year's kids.

Lets get the whole Hakawi tribe.

Is it my maths or yours but I make it 3 1/2 at your time of posting.

Presumably after the drafting has all finished.

Has Wilson got the inside mail on that story as well?

I thought all along that GWS would go lachie, Grundy and Toumpas but then along came the Tippett issue and I changed my mind on Grundy. Now there is speculation they will overlook Toumpas. I am confused and have no idea now what will happen other than to assume it's Wines unless Toumpas is available. We will soon know.

Yes it was. In Sydney at airport and can't wait to get back to all the salary cap scandals. Forget our little issue this is serious and the AFL must concentrate on this.

It is now a pity that we couldn't do better on our trading negotiation, as I and others have written. Better trading would have got us higher picks to use as we now have a few extra picks. In the end we may very well get the blokes we want but on face value we could have improved our position.

Correct WJ we are on a 60's & 70's music cruise. Never seen so many people dancing. Saw the best Queen cover band ever and the lead singer was Freddy's double both in looks and voice. Beat less and ccr cover bands also brilliant. My feet are killing me from non stop dancing. I am getting fitter maybe Neeld will give me a chance, he has drafted every other old player around, only joking. Seems like a few other clubs have cap problems, especially carlscum, great. Looking forward to getting back on Sunday and catching up with training.

It shows how down we all are when any bit of good news sends us into raptures. BTW a drop of Khalua in the old banana smoothie can sure change the flavour.

On BP's track record I would have preferred Finkelstein to have done our drafting.

Number 1 based on his IQ and draft number 126 as he was so small.

Demonland has certainly hotted up today. This draft unfettered. New player Tom Gillies. A QC hired by the MFC. I feel a celebratory banana smoothie coming on.

For those who don't know Ray, he is the size of Paul Callery with an intellect the size of Aaron Sandilands.

The 2021 draft will be the best in AFL history. I have seen the 9 year olds play.

Since we could have first live pick, if Tippett goes to GWS and GC don't participate, it could be handy if someone falls out with his club. Also it would be the only way we could get Ben Jacobs if he agreed to come to us.

You have it right HT. Just took away some uncertainty at 53 for a developed player from a good club. Similar size to Rivers and 6 years younger. Hopefully he can play.

I would think that we would have to let him know if we want him soon, or otherwise we are stuffing up his chances. If he goes into the ND, then we have passed on him. If not he is probably ours. Don't know a lot about him but he is our favourite height 192cms.

Note that timing is everything. North case out of the way. Crows by next tuesday. Then AFL staff fly out to GC for a couple of days sun and relaxation before the draft. After the draft a couple more days in the sun and then home. Dees inquiry will go on until nearly xmas and IMO then be abandoned. AFL staff then off to xmas holidays.

Are you sure about that?

If the latest CW article is an accurate account of the AFL case, without any admission by the Coach, we have no case to answer. All that I can see that is alleged, is a comment by CC and a reaction by CS. Both have different explanations. No one has admitted to actually tanking.

If he is a free agent, can't he just be taken if he agrees by tuesday 13th? In other words he doesn't have to be drafted.

That is the part I find really scary. What gives me hope is that it is a new FD. I am sure Neeld and the other coaches as well as recruiters will all have input into our selections especially the first one. I just hope they get it right.

I admit to not seeing either boy play. I have just watched the highlights of each and purely and solely from that I would take Wines. He did what O'Rourke did but also got the hard balls and tackles like a mad man. He also looked more ready to play early, being more physically developed. Being a good mate of JV is a plus.

Just watched the first half of Dees v GC at the G on Fox Footy. Morton had 1 possie i saw and put it out of bounds. Gysberts looked apathetic, got a couple of possies and then turned them all over. He didn't tackle, chase and basically spectated. Beamer did nothing other than point which he does very well. Can only say they were pathetic that day. I am sure they would agree.
