Poor kick by Tyson, luckily Dunstan missed Saints' first shot on.

Vince has hit both posts now. SO close.

Toumpas should've shepherded for McDonald then.

Great stuff Watts to set up Terlich to run into the open goal then.

Great stuff Jimmy T!

Go Dees. I should be at the Stones, but instead I'm nervous as hell about the Dees.

In terms of the drills, who stood out? How do Salem and Toumpas compare and contrast in size and skill?

Received it, filled it out. They're clearly concerned about the perception of the club wrt the 'interim' nature of Jackson and Roos, the club emblem looking like a photoshop explosion, and what our 'brand' actually is perceived by the fans. Good survey.

No, Paddy is holding off to see if free agency is changed from 8 years to 7, which would result in him being an RFA when his next contract expires after the 2015 season. If the changer isn't made, and many tip it will be, he'll likely do a two year deal with the Crows. He wants success, cos he knows the money is going to be there regardless as he's a genuine star.

Yes, hence the surprise at how far off he is on normal standard. Mother time isn't a friendly lady.

Word has it that Swans are shocked by how much RO'K has dropped off all his normal measurements this preseason.

Damn autocorrect!

Bluey Bernie Vince, as others have said, he just looks a class above Most Improved Jack Trengove, has endured a torrid couple of seasons, finally free to break the shackles Goal Kicker Jeremy Howe, simply cos I doubt anyone else will be left standing, and as we all know Howe doesn't stand - he flies! No. 1 ruck Max Gawn, he's the only one who actually looks like an afl class ruck man - I think Jamar is finished and the others are solid vfl ruck men, or ruck / forward combos in Fitz's case Best First Year Player Alexis Georgiou, cool calm and collected, he's a natural Chip Stay or Leave He'll go I think - as stated by someone else who works in the industry, free agency is going to continue to hurt clubs like ours simply cos the salary cap is the same for all clubs and so the carrot is success with money about the same no matter where a quality player like Chip plies their trade Wins for 2014 4-6 I hope, but could definitely be lower - to be honest I'm more interested in seeing that % go from mid-50s to somewhere around the 85-90% mark, indicating that we are right in games to win them, not simply blown off the park week after week

Dawes is off to the AIS in Canberra to seek treatment on his calf injuries. 2 to 3 likely to be the classic MFC 4 to 6!

Dress won't be back by round 2, I believe, judging from the news that he's off to the AIS in Canberra to seek treatment on his calf injuries.

Ha, Lloyd agreed with her!

Craig thought it was pretty thin...

Potted it on Classified tonight. Article tomorrow?

park in the parking lot over by the docklands wheel. $6. and agree - find someone who is a medallion club member and get their seats. otherwise docklands is a nightmare.

still happy with my pick for port for top 4.

Kid is a star.

Patton or Boyd in 2015 / 2016 please. Even if Clark does retire mid-year I would imagine his salary will still be on our books until then? If Frawley (and Dunn) go at the end of 2014, we should have plenty of the mandatory 100% cap to throw around.

shocking news. i feel terrible for the big fella.

Hawthorn Fremantle Sydney Port Adelaide Geelong Collingwood Essendon* North Melbourne Richmond West Coast Adelaide Gold Coast Carlton Footscray Brisbane St. Kilda Melbourne GWS *essendon being every chance of losing players so hard to pick their position...

whilst i agree this would be an ideal scenario, by 2017-2020 i would wager that we will want significantly more $$ than that given the inflation in the market of player salaries, admin costs etc. still, it would be a great thing to have two major sponsors once more.
