Great!

SEN this morning suggesting there is talk of whitfield for 3 & 8 - sounds good to me. I would imagine that he would come with some picks attached to keep us in the draft. Trade Billy to Suns for a pick and you have whitfield and your requisite picks for the draft. By the way, this was less than a rumour so just a bit of fun thinking about it.

What teams do get to train on their home ground?

insightful!

some trade radio talk around Josh Bruce and/or Josh Jenkins.

Nuh Uh!

So my take on this is that we have delisted a few peripheral players and are bringing in a best 22-24 player at a Grand final playing club at very low cost. That is surely a trade up on the likes of Maynard et al.

Hmm, not sure that is the case at all LN. It is pretty common knowledge that it is the dislodging players from their incumbant club that is what drives a higher wage. The players by and large appear extremely connected to their existing club hence the need to loosen them with $$s (they are inherently team animals to begin with). Obviously not all players are like that (Jeremy Howe & Dangerfield spring to mind) but most of them like to have a sense of belonging first and foremost

Pretty sure T Mac is on large coin 7-800K

Leg speed....have a listen to Brendan McArtney's interview on SEN. (it is on DL somewwhere) I found it really interesting regarding his insight into how a team can appear to be slow or fast. By way of example he was saying that if the team is losing the contested ball the outside players tend to wait around to assist whereas when the team are playing like we did in 2018 the outsides can leave the contest sooner giving them greater space to work in. I had never thought of it like that before and found it particularly interesting.

I heard announced on SEN Langdon and Tomlinson IN and Frost OUT. Is this not the case?

tayla harris goes second!

The current administration are a joke. McLachlan has been a huge disappointment with his ineptitude being in evidence throughout his entire term. Appointing someone from inside the circus tent was a huge mistake by the league.

"To further enhance his claims, Serong should look to improve his reliability of kick placement and skill execution under pressure." Uh-Oh!

Your legend continues to grow ET!!?

I think he is referring to Brad Scott

The other side of this is if he does not come to us, Coll#$*wod will have to pay him top dollar making their salary cap harder to manage.

makes for a good video grab though

From a pan-list perspective, I thought that with the exception of May, we did not improve our list last year at all and with the players who left - Hogan, Tyson and Kent primarily - we went backwards. I would suggest that Tomlinson is a player with some class that would be welcome on most lists and he will certainly improve ours. With some other smart trades and drafting hopefuly we can regain some of that lost ground

Hope he gets a hair cut, otherwise Jayden will have to share his hairbands
