Salems Lot

Vin Catoggio - another of those blokes who looked good in a good team. I would have had my avatar's namesake over him every time!!

Then I won't see you at the 2013,2014 GF

I sit behind the interchange in the MFC members seats with my brother and young lad. Your post has given me a sad realization (similar to that one you have when you work out for the first time that you are too old to be drafted by the club.) At 47, my 6 year old is closer in age to you than I am.......sadly he is not quite up for a brew just yet.

The boy is a gun, perhaps Matty Burgan puts it best in his China Diaries when describing Scully's attempt at basket making: "But perhaps the bamboo basket made by young-gun Tom Scully wasn’t a highlight (finally, the kid has a flaw!)"

No, John Brumby runs Victoria

Commentating on the Commonwealth Games for the ABC (namesake me thinks)

JUst an observation, PJ had no pre-season this year, he was obviously underdone all year, maybe....just maybe a full pre-season will lift him above the very ordinary??

I was tallest in my class in preps and but stopped growing at 173cm (could have been a contender) :( :( :(

From an occasional poster but avid reader, thanks so much. FWIW, imo the Land is even more important during the off season for rumours and training updates. It keeps me sane

Hmm, don't be so sure DD, the last 2 years we have had Green and then Flash dragging their heels during the trade week. I for one think that Tracky Daks is of value to us and should be kept. Re the link to BF I hope this one works: http://www.bigfooty.com/forum/showthread.php?t=761824

Tom Harley?

I hate em like the rest of us but you have to hand it to them, they keep bobbing up; at least one grand final appearance in every decade except the 40's, a fair record.

could not watch it;felt too darn embarrassed

For any of us lacking faith in the FD's capacity to identify trade options, I would draw their attention to yesterday's VFL final between Collingwood and The Bullants. Buckley, Johnston and Mclean were all running around looking rather ordinary. We are developing quite the happy knack for divesting ourselves of weak links for minimal cost.

Surely it was his Grand dad was the gun

Nooooooooooo!

A little bird has mentioned Jones to the Suns Hope this is false The source was close to the Jones family

Uhm..Campbell Brown and Cyril Rioli

Not a bad looking line-up, depth is looking good

Good post

This is just like when Fonzie jumped the shark!

Hi All, I was looking at the club website today and I must say what a difference they have made over there. The chat site is a great innovation which appears to make the club even more accessible.. Great Work

From memory he was one of Bailey's boys from his Mt Gravatt days

Moot point I'm afraid, Meesen was a list clogger who was retained as a rookie through the new rule. The issue was whether to pay him out mid contract (V poor iMO) or rookie him and pick up another young fellow through the draft. Rookying Meesen and Newton cleared the way for Gawn and Fitzy
