whatwhat say what

anyone know why the u18s grand final, which is about to kick off at etihad, isn't on the telly?

i remember back in the day it used to be broadcast every year.

Long lead time extrapolation moon shadow

You can get Adams into the Scully thing if you think of him as a 'free' acquisition pushed out of GWS via their salary cap / homesickness factor.

We should be angling for him to head to the psd.

The filth will be trying to land him too, but in a trade. If they keep Daisy they'll have less $$ to offer Adams.

I want Adams for free. Adams, Hogan, Barry for $cully? Yes please.

Commission doesn't even sit to evaluate until Monday.

FWIW, I don't think we'll get one. I thought we would, but the afl media management strategy has been to indicate that we ain't getting one.

I don't see how he can stay at the Tigers.

We desperately need this kid to be a star.

of those ones you've made up, i'd guess at:

• no one will go near ellis i don't think - he can't get on the park consistently
• savage is worth more than 4th round, more like a mid 2nd, lower 2nd round i'd reckon
• can't see dogs giving up a f/s selection like cordy, who was so highly rated as a junior (but definitely hasn't come on as expected just yet)
• hampson one kinda sorta makes sense
• and krak is going to swan districts in wa, his days of playing in the afl are over (again)

would love to get savage though.

gut-running inside mid with good skills who gets heaps of the ball.

I was a massive fan of Gysberts.

Very disappointing to see him fail at two clubs.

Spot on re GWS recruiting - it's been dubbed 'cluster' recruiting.

I hope it ends up being an absolute clusterf... for them!

choco williams and blair hartley, primarily, with troy chaplin also there.

That's fantastic.

He's a really good guy. Hope he gets another crack at the AFL.

Clark would still be our highest paid player I'd wager.

$600k is more the mark, the equivalent of Davey and Rodan.

Just like Buddy and Swan were about to be banned for three strikes, right?

More pertinently they have Choco Williams and Blair Hartley.

a lot of the media stuff re martin is a complete beat-up.

would definitely make our side.

but i've heard he's off to tigerland.

pick 2 and 20 for martin and 12.

get it DONE.

He's not after $700k.

Tigers have low balled him, offering around $480k, only $30k more than see on now.

Lions have already tabled a 4 year $650k deal.

Pick 2 and 20 for Martin and pick 12.

Do it, Demons.

pretty much.

it'll be interesting to see what the approach is with jolly, jamar, gawn, and spencer all on the list together.

i'm personally hoping it's scott burns.

he always looked far better in red and blue playing for the mighty legs than he ever did in black and white for the filth.

time to show his heart beats true!

(plus i always thought he was a terrific player.)

Add those four to Nath Jones, Viney, Sylvia, Matt Jones, and hopefully emerging players like Toumpas, Kent, et al then all of a sudden we will have a midfield that is somewhat competitive.

No, back to the beloved bosom of Mick at the Blues on a big, big money deal for 4-5 years.

Rawlings, I like, so unless he wants to be the senior assistant...

Which I wouldn't be opposed to. But my guess is Scott Burns for that one.
