The Lobster Effect

Well, he hasn't been removed from any list so based so that he's still with us. He's not in school anymore so that article you read might be out of date?

Are Fev and Aker going around for another season? Would be good cash I guess...

Who's going to be the first smartarse that chooses "been on an AFL list?"

Be careful... Magner and Couch probably dominated that day too and look where they are now

Apparently GWS are after Bernie as well http://www.perthnow.com.au/sport/afl/adelaide-club-champion-bernie-vince-met-with-greater-western-sydney-before-us-adventure/story-fnahsgl5-1226739828999

Holidays to Adelaide?!

a quick google search has told me that teresa palmer also went out with russell brand. that means that melbourne's future coach is only 2 degrees of separation from russell brand, didnt see that coming!

well, it kindof happened already with savage so your feeling is probably not that out there unfortunately...

The headline makes it seem like he's a certainty but then later in the article there's a bit of doubt... http://www.perthnow.com.au/sport/afl/stuart-dew-the-heir-apparent-to-paul-roos-as-melbourne-coach/story-fniv6abm-1226735664783

Well, do you reckon any other clubs are after him?

You do realise we share this city with other footy clubs as well...

Good point, how do so many Demonland members have so many connections!

grrrr there goes the soft spot I had for the swannies

The best we can hope for is second round I reckon

That link just says Freo is after him... does your source tell you he's made up his mind to go west?

Damn, who's our plan B after Simpson?

Say what you want about this guy but he did have a fine beard

"But sources at the Hawks and rival clubs suggest the deal may be almost double that at $10 million over nine years" http://www.heraldsun.com.au/sport/afl/hawthorn-star-lance-franklin-set-to-join-sydney-swans-after-gws-withdraws-offer/story-fn69a32t-1226730745667

yeh and the reason its that long is so that hawks won't be able to financially match it! I wonder what would happen if just say the COLA is scrapped by the AFL in 2 years whether sydney would have to get rid of players to avoid a breach!?

Where is chilliboy these days anyway, wish he popped by to give us some (false) hope!

Get a room you two!

So how much of a party animal is he behind the scenes?

or nathan 'doggy' brown

I know but I was looking at the compensation we would get; therefore it is relevant

Ok, so lets look at them one-by-one: Would you trade Sylvia for Pick 3? YES Would you trade Sylvia for Pick 17? YES (assuming our recruiting is now better than when we got Blease with this pick!) Would you trade Sylvia for Pick 19? YES (assuming our recruiting is now better than when we got Strauss with this pick!) Would you trade Sylvia for Pick 35? MAYBE? (assuming our recruiting is now better than when we got Bennell with this pick!) Would you trade Sylvia for Pick 53? NO (mind you, we got McDonald with this pick!) I'm interested to know, would people trade him for about pick 35?
