If Crossy does go to another club, i wonder if they look at Brad Green?I know when Roos brought Miller in, he talked of the importance of having a Melbourne person in the coaching team. Green was just let go by Carlton, so if Cross doesn't accept the offer, Brad could certainly be an idea for Miller's replacement?

Yep, massive win for the Wallabies last night and unexpected. Our two performances heading into the game weren't great, so it was good to turn it on when it mattered. And knocking England out of their own World Cup makes it all the more sweet! Looking ahead, if we can beat Wales and top the group we should get a Quarter Final against either Scotland or Japan. The results in Group B have been a bit all over the place, so it looks like South Africa will still top their group despite the losd to Japan. Get through there and likely semi final opposition will be one of Ireland, France or Argentina, so the match to come against Wales is huge for setting up their tournament.

When i say early, i don't meañ early in the draft, i mean earlier then where they were expected to be taken.The names you mentioned were all expected to be high draft picks. Cook was expected to be a mid 2nd round pick and Molan early 2nd round from memory. Weideman is expected to go from about pick 10-16 range, so i'd have big concerns of we took him at 6.

Why are the first two names i think of when it comes to drafting KPF'S early are Luke Molan and Lucas Cook?If Charlie Curnow is available at 6 we'll take him. Otherwise expect us to draft a midfielder like Mathieson, Tucker, Balic etc.

Is unfortunate. Best of luck to Brad for the next phase of his life. Having said that, anyone have Pia's number?

Disapointing to see the series v Bangladesh called off: http://www.espncricinfo.com/bangladesh-v-australia-2015-16/content/story/924781.html Good for the domestic ODD competition at least, and all our test players will also get a round of Shield season before the NZ test series begins. Feel for the Bangladesh fans, who don't get to see Australia play there very often. Wonder when (if at all) they postpone it to?

Don't know your co-worker, but I'll take Jason Taylor's view over theirs.

I was going to say Fred Fanning!

Pedersen will be the man. I don't get the reference to Lynch? He doesn't ruck, would have played a different role to what Daw would. I'd rather us go for Daniel Gorringe for more ruck depth if that's why you want Daw. Can ruck, rest forward, unfulfilled talent and would also come cheap. But I'll back Viney & co in on their decision.

Check what I said in that thread. Never said I wanted him, said I wouldn't be against him. Bit of a difference. I mean I'm not against Grand Final Eve being a public holiday. Doesn't mean I think it should have happened.

As above.

He was on the end of a team that was totally dominating. If he played for us he'd be very in affective IMO. A vanilla player.

That, and hooking up with a team mates (Daniel Pratt) girlfriend.I don't want to see us waiting out both Melksham's WADA suspension & Daw's jail time.

Doesn't pass the no DH's policy!

Nik Nat doing a sterling job with 0 marks to 3/4 time. Can see why he's rated so highly and escapes scrutiny!

Trying to decide if this years GF has been more or less entertaining then last year? Just boring. Well done to Hawthorn though.

Noticed his goal then setup by Rioli.

Haven't really noticed him.

Disagree. Reckon he waltzes onto a wing for us.

Does sound cringe worthy. All the best to Fitz with his future. He's had a lot to overcome in his career to date.

Eagles by 9 points Kennedy Norm Smith for his 8 goals Frawley wins the Dyer award for worst on ground.

Do need to correct myself. We were on the way to paying out Evans until he quit himself, so not quite the same boat i'll admit.But you do make very strong points. Will be interesting to see what happens there, as i'd also rather see an extra year given to someone like Hunt rather then Terlich. If only he hadhalf decent disposal Terls! I remember when he came across from Norwood, that was suppose to be a strength of his.

Can you go into more detail FD? As bad as that error was from Fitz (and it was shocking!) I thought he was harshly done by. Other then that incident he played well that day taking the points against Jesse White, and we know what he did to Boyd. Watched him several times at Casey this year and he was often in the best. I'll be amazed if someone doesn't pick him up as a delisted free agent. Bulldogs and Freo especially.

Massive 2016 coming up for King. Don't expect him to play senior footy yet, but really hope he takes the next step to demand an upgrade onto the list. He could be the missing link!

See what your saying Nasher. Just think it sends a dangerous message if we keep paying out these contracted players. Certainly doesn't paint usin the best picture for player managers. I'd prefer us to do the delist and re-rookie trick which happens quite a bit around the keague. At least frees up a senior spot. Amazing to think he came 3rd in our B&F in 2013.
