whatwhat say what

flanagan has penned his last article for the age

gunston is class but he'd a) be costly to get in and b) command a significant wage

Glenn Lovett was one of my absolutely favourites when he was playing for us too; probably Oliver has the best hands since Lovett? Also loved that he and Brett were NOT related...two Lovetts at once, so good

i say keep it in here. i work in digital, used to work as a content person, i find it interesting too

callum brown to debut for the pies

Dropped for the game tomorrow

I see nothing wrong with what Adams said personally. It's all just promotional banter. And if it draws an extra few thousand through the turnstiles to bump the crowd to 80k then all the better!

watching those highlights you'd think a) they're an incredibly wealthy club to license red hot chili peppers as their soundtrack bed and b) they won the game by a massive margin

greenwood will go to oliver, vince to pendles leaves viney, jones, lewis, tyson vs. adams, treloar, sidebottom, crisp easy to argue they've got us for pace but we've got em for grunt

at this stage here's what i'd be doing in terms of list management strategy for existing list: salem - must retain neal-bullen - hopefully signed to a new deal vince - i just wonder...will he retire? otherwise a year contract i guess joel smith - upgraded off rookie list kent - i reckon he might be put up for trade and someone will want him harmes - someone will want him i reckon but i hope we keep him vandenberg - he's talented but his body isn't made for football; dropped off list jkh - put up for trade or potentially downgraded to rookie list / dropped off list spencer - depends on whether we trade for a ruck or just keep him as insurance or he might want to give it away or give somewhere else a go lumumba - retired (obviously) trengove - retired hulett - dropped off list kennedy - dropped off list* white - dropped off rookie list keilty - dropped off rookie list *although it would seem kennedy is contracted so i guess he stays; needs to get a game and show something soon, so he needs a bit of luck to go his way and so far anb, bugg and kent are all ahead of him

helmet on show:

current mcg estimate is 72k man i hope we crack 80k

i'll go with: IN - spencer, salem OUT - o mac, wagner

nice sentiment, but it's extremely unlikely any club will want him.

Get Levi in!

year to date i think, not round 11 overall. can't believe oliver isn't in there personally.

Would take Tippett for fourth round pick and Swans paying half his $800k a year salary next year As others have said his form pre-injury last year was superb, and he was rushed back for finals

did jkh play the defensive rebound role?

Elliott looks very sore too - lower leg injury as well

why could freo have a fit sandi and stick every tackle against us, and barely able to raise a whimper without him?

so i take it hulett is playing forward this afternoon?

where did i ever give the impression i would do so? lewis is a very good player but he really let himself and the team down with his actions.

no, i'm not buying that. he was suspended for deliberately hitting a player behind play with enough force to give said player a hairline fracture of the jaw. the medical report didn't help but he was always going to be suspended cos it was a stupid, thuggish, ill-disciplined act by a supposed leader who should know better. and it will, in all likelihood, have cost us two vital wins that could be the difference btw finishing 9-12 and 5-8.

yes, well, houli is yet to get suspended for three weeks for punching a bloke behind play...so... lewis is a far superior player to houli but their roles are vaguely similar - read the play behind the ball, marshall the troops, execute rebound
