Redleg

Finished last in his heat to continue our good form this year.

Correct. We all thought the world ended when T$ left and what happened. He is playing worse than an ordinary footballer and we have 2 good picks to find better players. How many now would be upset if we got say Hogan and MacRae, Kennedy or Stringer with those picks?

I tried to find it without luck. I am sure i read it somewhere. Maybe it was in an article on the net and not the papers. Interesting that Richo just said that Pies have Lynch after re signing Cloke, doing a deal with O'Brien and Johnson and offering new deals to Goldsack, Krakouer and Wellingham. Wonder where all the salary cap room has come from.

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

Think it was the Sun in a Cloke story. I will try and find it.

I get the feeling if they are prepared to trade him, his injuries are far worse than we think. He turns 22 next June and has played only 12 games.

One of the papers said Goldsack had agreed to a new contract and that a new contract was offered to Wellingham, but that it fell way short of Melbourne's offer. We will see.

Good submission Rumpole.

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.

Nice thinking.

Agree Big Red.

Other than what's in the papers, not at the moment. I am concerned that we are being mentioned in connection to every single name except Goddard, that has been rumoured so far. I hope it is just the managers. Some names mentioned have left me bewildered. I would be happy to get a couple of good mids like Wellingham and maybe Stevens in trades and then a few more including JV, Toumpas and maybe MacRae in the draft. A couple of FA's on top of that plus the rest of our drafting would see a qantum change in the list.

Don't worry, he will be a tiger.

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.

Heard the same today.

Disagree. I think we should get every player that has been mentioned on Demonland, all 73 of them.

Not to.

Gerard Whately declared him gone last night.

Cloke stays , so that's the first domino.

Contrasts nicely with the info I got yesterday from someone close to the Bombers, that he will be a Bomber next week.

We need pick 23 for JV.

No it doesn't affect your current picks. It will be an extra pick. They haven't really explained if the highest pick you can get is mid first round or after your first round pick. There is a big difference.

Yes. Word out is that if Goddard goes, Saints won't take a FA, which will maximise their compo pick. That pick would probably be as high as it goes which is round 1 pick. Therefore if you are losing a star player for big bucks to another club, your best pick will come if you don't get any FA's into your club that year. If we lose Beamer and say Rivers and then get say Byrnes and Russell, our compo is diluted.

Ok , I love you.

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.
