when are you bringing the function to brissy deb?

Except the grand final

I have been to both quite a few times, obviously living here, and think the Gabba is a much better ground. I just think that the complete grandstand holds in a lot more noise whereas at Metricon the gap as well as space under sails maybe opens it up for less echo?! Anyway, off topic, and I suppose I havent been to a 'full' Metricon yet. But regarding the NAB fixture, wrapped I'll be able to trundle down to get an early taste!

It's an awesome place to go and have a look - and makes it even better that the footy is there. I've been the last 2 years and have had a ball. And hey......we're 2 from 2 so not all bad is it?!

Like the excellent flashing horns we had this year?

haha like it a lot! nice one!

You weren't too keen on Clarky RPFC?

I think the signing of Mitch Clark (do we have a nickname yet?) might get a few people excited and attract a few more through the doors, so I'm predicting a few more than this year, but still a little short of 40,000. How about 38,750.

Tweet from the Herald Sun website suggests Maric delisted. Any concrete evidence other than this and who else might be gone? SammyHeraldSun Mark Blake retires, Addam Maric delisted by Dees & Brent Macaffer future still uncertain.

Farren Ray a "big body" in the midfield?! The bloke's 50kg ringing wet!

no, we cant! lets have a crack at someone else who doesnt want to come!

Apparently Brisbane now asking for pick 12 + Maric?! Anyone else heard this?

They could also be calling freo's bluff. They might just be saying no, knowing that Freo are aware of Melbourne's position, hoping they'll just throw in more to the bargain?

I agree with that, but if we miss out on Clark, this is our best option I think.

I agree, and I think this is probably our 'fall back' option if clark says no to us.

He's landing that 'big fish!'

Not the worst idea, and quite frankly, all off-field issues aside - is the best there is left!?

Yeah, I like the sound of that!

Was he pick 21? Not sure, but i think it was something like that?

I can't recall acquiring much in any trade period over the last little while. But refresh my memory if you can think of anyone?!

What about the 10 before that?

Yeah thought the same thing, but deep down I'd like to see him get a role somewhere else.

Apparently this article seems to think so. Good luck to Dean if true. http://www.sportsnewsfirst.com.au/articles/2011/09/30/bailey-turns-to-richmond/

Great get if that's the case - looking like a top little team we're putting together to support Neeld!

The majority of them are actually Queenslanders - not for any particular reason though. I think their feeder club used to be Brisbane based though, so this could be why?!
