Like Brisbane before with Clark, Gold Coast will make the best deal in return for Caddy. The club hasn't spoken to him yet...

I hope we haven't got anyone on the All Australian selection committee this week......otherwise we will cop another pasting in the press. Gerard, you're on your own champ.

Relatively close with Grimes. Well deserved though.

I watched along with 2.1 million other Australians last night the first part of the mini series "Howzat - Kerry Packers War" . I thought it was very entertaining. Particularly the confrontation between Kerry Packer and a young David Hookes. Pissa. Here's an article worth reading regarding that time on reflection: http://footyalmanac.com.au/?p=43653 -Gideon Haigh. A very good read. The second and final part of the series is on next Sunday night on Ch 9.

If we could expand the title of the thread to include no tanking we'd effectively hit two birds with one stone. That of AFL and Racing. Pretty soon all would be left for discussion would be bananas.

If that's the case every day of the week and twice on Sunday's. Not sure that GC would warm to it though.

Yep agree on surplus. I'd do Martin p13 for Caddy.

Overlooked that....how did I do that... Firms as a must have for mine at the Demons. Given the indecision of Boak staying at Port. But still, I have Caddy>Boak.

Wondering if Essendon would be prepared to part with their first round draft pick for Caddy ? They're currently 8th with a tough run home. That's pick 11 and if they drop further it could be as low as pick 9 or even 8. If we were interested in him our mid first round compo pick would be more favoured to be used I would think and it would comeback to a player in return. What would GC be after ? Probably the higher pick.

Much like a game of chess in preparation. Sheedy said a while back "Melbourne won't want to dance with us."

Could be a two week injury the quad.

I hope Paul Roos doesn't almost fall off the couch at the thought of another Cup. Or in this case the Whitfield Shield game between GWS v GC. Because Paul Roos frowns at nurturing a "losing culture mentality"....

Starting this week old dee.

Ugh Bananas ! I think that is an adequate ban old dee. I'm going to Etihad to support the boys too, I'm sure some here would view that as enough punishment for mentioning his name in this thread. We apologise Redleg !

I'm thinking more the latter. The size of the contract by GWS to Scully thanks to our clubs tabled offer tipped the compo scales in our favour.

At the moment they would be absolutely livid. Just ask Mark Stevens (Hun/Dog supporter) - he hasn't stopped writing about it - like a dog with a bone ! (snigger) ! He will keep on it at draft time, and forever more through Ward's career at a guess.

- Google Side effects:Too much of it (particularly through parts of Asia) causes those consuming it to spiral out of control with rash statements about club lists, recruiting and wanting answers already given ! kidding

If all that was to come to fruition we'd burst through 40,000 members before easter. < Thinking to self, "shite, it's round 18 and just have a listen to me - what a muppet !"

I was of the opinion of Caddy > Boak in terms of priority. I'm a bigger fan...

Federer may have just made it near impossible for Nadal to catch him having stretched it to 17.

Yeah, well done Macca and good thread. You tipped it IRW and we'll do it all again next year. I'll tip Froome from 12 months out !

They're just trying to get their heads on tv most of them. Think it was stage 9, there were 3 male spectators on each side of the road during the time trial with their dacks down mooning the approaching cyclist. Obviously had a skin full waiting to bear their nether region to the world. Agree on Voeckler. Imaging if he'd been ok in the first week ! Last year he was dominant in the first week or so. Last night he attacked and attacked and made the stage very interesting to watch. Got to admire him, he blitzed them. he looks exhausted on occassions and then all of the sudden, bang he's gone. I reckon he foxes with who he is riding with. Does it very well. Cunning. That was the last nail. Nibali doesn't stand a chance either. When you've got class like Wiggins and Froome and riding to instruction. dare say it's bloody hard to make a move. Evans seems to be struggling and his preparation prior wasn't what he'd like. He's the oldest le Tour victor since World War II and should be proud of his achievement last year, this year he's been up against a very strong team. Honestly, Wiggins is Ice Man, he barely shows any pain and remains calm throughout.

Haha. How Lee got roped into singing in India is one of the more bizarre things coming from a cricketer. But I suppose you only need 0.01% interest in India and you've got yourself a fan base....

Echo these sentiments. On a lighter note, not many excel in Bollywood. Binga is right up there with Tania Zaetta.

Good title for a thread Redleg for the off season, "Now or Never"
