Lumumba trade in for Clark - somehow. What do we then give for Frost?

And why wait to find out about what happens with Frawley and Clark? If we lose Frawley we get compensated - this balances out. If we get a trade for Clark, it won't be what he's worth due to his health and mental concerns (definitely not our pick 12 back). All in all, what we get back will not fundamentally change our list for the better.

Thanks Red and Blue. I'm glad to hear he came back on.

I don't have fox and couldn't bring myself to watch the AFL replay on the net yesterday so missed it. Can anyone tell me if Garland has done his ACL? Is it a foregone conclusion or are we waiting for confirmation?

I can't help feeling Dew choose Sydney over us as we were unproven coach killers and we were too much of a risk. While I can understand this position, saying he's now ready because "he's developed"... How much do you really develop in 1/2 a season of footy? Roo's stuck his neck out and took us on and I would prefer someone all in rather than a fair weathered coach. My preference goes to Ling after 2 years under Roosy.

Thanks dawi03. I've just finished the first half. Source on this?

Thanks Choke. It's got the full preamble of coverage and not the inability to skip forward and back to bypass some or watch a specific moment or decision again. Although we can't watch on the AFL website tonight, I only hope it's because we've awoken a few of the dormant Demons fans that have been snoozing and now they're all thinking "man I shoudl've been there yesterday. I'll wathch the replay at AFL.com" and as a result the site shat the bed... again... This will hopefully result in more bums on seats in coming weeks. I won't be going to AFL.com again. Even if I have to wait untill tomorrow to get the second half, much, much better.

Is it possible that we got a bargain as his Thyroid problem was undetected pre-draft? Now that it's been corrected I believe he's put on about 6kg. Does this mean he'd be able to complete his tasks with more strength and confidence than previously? Maybe not, but either way, I've been up out of my chair on multiple occasions this year with the things he's been doing. They can keep Kelly.

Just off topic for a second, Bitter but optimistic, pg1 #24, gave 5 to N Jones with the comment "This bloke deserves a Brownlow". Now I'm not saying that he will or even is a good chance to win but 500 to 1 for the Brownlow? I've had some of that. Not that stats tell the whole picture but in 2012 he averaged 24.6 possessions a game and polled 14 votes in a team that won 4 games. He also missed a game. This year, so far he has averaged 29.5 possessions a game and is being released by Tyson and Crossy. In my view he was BOG on Saturday and could poll in two other games if lucky. Surely worth a look. Even for a top three finsh he is paying 126 to 1. Go Nugget! P.S. having a bald head to get noticed doesn't hurt.

Nitpicker, take it easy.

Where do I stand to meet you people tomorrow?

Adelaide would have to feel pretty silly wouldn't they? We put him on the LTI list meaning we place him on the back burner until he is back to full fitness and proves he is ready to be promoted back to the main list. How is this different to being rookie listed? This is something Adelaide could have done and avoided exposure to the risk of losing him. Trying to be too clever and get another live pick in the ND I think.

Whispering Jack, do you have any further info on what's Colin is (or isn't) up to over at Freo?

Can someone help, I'd like an answer to this too. Why, when you've done something good, and probably have an aderniline rush, must you come off. I know when I'm pumped I go harder. Surely this natrual drug boost shouldn't be wasted.

Gotta say, whilst I agree that our first focus would be copmetitivness and not wanting to leave at half time each week, I agree with Jock Strap and was about to post something similar. Ultimatley, were in this competition with the aim to stake the ultimate prize. It concerns me that due to the age of our players, our window will overlap two teams that have had far better access to players than us.

Cheers.

Does anyone know what time and what broadcast type and time the draft this year is? SEN again at 7'ish?

Nah, I like Nev's attitude towards the pill, he can stay. Sorry to upset so many but I think this list, (with a few MINOR tweaks i.e. no more quarter list dumps) can go places. Go Dees and show em the path Paul!

Sorry to drop this nugget and run. Thanks for taking the reins Beelzebub and Iva ws and yes that's what I meant. Not literally the will be not further changes but rather the ideology that they should not rely on further injection but grow together, trust each other and expect to get results from the work they put in as a team. Having said that can we turn Nicholson over now?

With recent turnovers, they coould be forgiven for not understanding what a "team" is.

The hope that the boys unify as a team and have belief on what is within?

I hope this is the message that has been given to the boys. We have this years pick nine to come, but with our ascension, there are no more top 10 picks...

It suprises me that Nicho isn't contracted and is still a listed player.

Didak is a victim of Buckley’s big head and inability to objectively be the coach of his ex-mate. He could be good for another team but I don't think we need him. Only positive would be, we'd definitely get Sylvia to sign so he and Did's could get up to mischief again.

Cheers. It would be nice to get that pick 1. Boyd's availability will add a lot of value to it for us trade, 2 x mid first round to have a double crack at midfielders? The sweetener would be that the media wouldn't be able to pour the heat on another of our kids due to his no. 1 selection. Having said that, at another club Boyd will probably kick 80 in his first year and we'll be laughed at anyhow.
