Due to popular demand I will continue the countdown until draft day, then PSD day, then comedy cup first match and ending with our first game. Your constant phone calls and emails have proved too much for me to refuse. Here goes. 39

In this case you can. He agrees to go into PSD and we have first pick and we agree to pick him. We can even advise the AFL of this and he can get permission to train with us before the PSD.

He was tanking. Don't know where he learned that from. Poor ride, 5 wide at some stages 4 & 3 wide most of the race. Should have gone forward. Gave the horse no chance and demonstrates why S. King has the nickname "SHOCKING" from me.

Got me laughing. Great video.

The owner is a dedicated Melbourne fan and owns half of the horse. Hence the silks.

Valenti of course was on rookie list. We now have 5 gone and 5 picks. 1,2,11,18 & PSD. I am sure we will use 34 so one more has to go, probably Bartram if rumours are correct. Then maybe McNamara to use 50 or to elevate Spencer with McNamara to be rookied.

Re-signed with Lions for 2 years a few days ago.

Analyse the situation and the answer becomes pretty clear. Options: 1. Re-sign with St.Kilda and stay on reduced money for a Coach who won't play you. 2. Enter the national draft and risk being taken by an interstate side like Port Power or Freo Dockers etc. 3. Retire. 4. Agree to join Dees through the PSD on a healthy agreed salary, begin training with new team mates on an exciting list and play for a club that wants you. Its a difficult decision.

Damn, WonnaJurrah beat me to it.

Sorry , I missed that.

What a bloody anti climax. This is the last time I will get excited about trade week. Would have been more exciting watching grass grow.

Maybe my maths are stuffed but you have got 6 picks and 7 spots. Why?

Spencer doesn't have to be elevated yet. McNamara probably will be delisted and hopefully rookied back and one of Cheney or Bartram could be delisted. Couple of lucky players left on the list with a year left on their contract. If we passed on pick 34 only one need be delisted. More than likely though we will use the pick and another player will be delisted.

The fact that St. Kilda has withdrawn its offer to ball and in the words of its coach, will offer him a reduced one should be enough to stop him returning. If we want him we should convince him to go in PSD.

His manager said he will not return to St. Kilda. We will see. I can't help wondering why they didn't play him and were happy to trade him. Could it be that his kicking is pathetic and he has lost all of his pace?

20 minutes.

If true I have just wasted hours of my life on the computer.

This could be good for us in the draft. If Port take three Adelaide boys that could make our chances of getting the boys we want better.

How?

Sounding like Burgoyne deal is done, so you may want to change the thread heading.

.5 Sorry Queenie.

And if no one does?

Done. Where do I sign and how much do I pay.

Will do. Just for you I have Rock Kingdom running in the Toorak handicap on saturday at Caulfield. He has a bad barrier in 15 but if it rains he must be still some chance.
