whatwhat say what

hahahahahahahaahaha

is that for real? absolutely no deal from my perspective

if we give up pick 5 as part of the may deal i will be ropeable unless we get something SIGNIFICANT back i know it's just my mfcss speaking, but i feel like we are about to be absolutely bent over and pillaged

so presumably now: neale goes to bears 5, may and kk go to melbourne for hogan 10 and future 2nd from melbourne goes to gc17 11 goes to gw$ for lobb and freo get hogan and lobb?

not from my understanding at clubs that are neither melbourne or freo - board have to approve actual pay packets over a certain level

could be as many as seven teams involved... brisbane - neale in for beams plus picks movement collingwood - beams in for langdon plus picks movement fremantle - hogan in for may plus picks movement gc17 - may out plus picks movement melbourne - hogan out for may (and kk?) plus picks movement st. kilda - hannebery in plus picks movement sydney - langdon in for hannebery plus picks movement

Boards generally have to approve final pay packets for players over a certain wage

suntan terry was saying the other day you have to use one first rounder across the course of five years - no idea when the afl made the change or announced it

his raw numbers are not particularly compelling: http://websites.sportstg.com/team_info.cgi?action=PSTATS&pID=196455977&client=0-118-0-339767-20320232

Goldstein was back to his best form, Majak was playing well, Brown and Waite and others held forward spots... I am clutching at straws as I personally rate Tyson far more highly than Preuss...

Disagree, Polec is not flakey at all

Polec adds pace Tyson adds grunt Makes two instant mix best 22 additions

i wouldn't be including any further picks of ours in the trade with them 5 and 14 and langdon for hogan i would consider 5 and next year's future first and langdon i would consider, and then probably say, sure, and cerra for our future first too no matter what happens i want the pick BEFORE them in this year's draft then 14 or freo future first, 41 and tyson to gc17 for may and kk

need another wicket tonight to get us past 186 i feel...

freo are stuck in that awkward position of beating the poor teams at home, the really poor away, and not being remotely close to those above them i can completely understand why they're targeting hogan, but if they lose neale they're really robbing peter to pay paul their home ground advantage finds them actually stuck btw a rock and a hard place

Gary Buckenara rates him highly: KADE KOLODJASHNIJ: Kolodjashnij has had injury and health issues over the last few years but he has shown himself to be a really good AFL player when fit. I believe he is a potential A-grader, so Gold Coast would want close to A-grade compensation. A first-round pick or a good experienced player would be an ideal trade.

chan marshall sums it up for me with her rihanna cover: Not really sure how to feel about it Something in the way you move Makes me feel like I can't live without you It takes me all the way I want you to stay

Retired: Harley Balic, Bernie Vince Delisted: Tomas Bugg, Lochie Filopovic (rookie), Dion Johnstone, Mitch King, Pat McKenna, Cam Pedersen 7 off the senior list, 1 off the rookie

because he wants $1m a year and he ain't worth it going to carlton

we may play there as bernie did this year, but people seem to not realise how young we are as a side next year lewis, jones and garlett will be the only players aged 30 plus on our list; by comparison carlton have six players turning 30+ next season, and collingwood have eight - nearly all of whom remain in the respective side's best possible squads we are still very young and inexperienced and wise old heads like lewis and jones remain valuable at senior level

as far as i am aware he has been shopped, with zero takers thus far

get him in

preuss gets #1 cos he's going to be our strawbs o'dwyer circa 88 to max's jimmy may can have #21

wouldn't it simply be replaced with may's salary?

hogan is and will be an absolute superstar the more i think about it the more shattered i am that this generational talent is leaving us fortunately we have two more 'once in a lifetime' players on our list in gawn and oliver
