Add Tyson to that group and I'm with you, mate.

We'd be laughing if we got any of those for Fitzy (despite his obvious upside). Would take Macrae any day of the week. Is he still struggling to get a game at the Bullies?

If it's the same blonde guy that I'm thinking of, I still see him regularly at the footy. See him whenever we trave interstate too. Remember the guy with 45 on his back too. Haven't seen him around for quite some time though.

No way Garland's going anywhere. Bookmark it.

Fair enough. And it'll be Jones' last deal, otherwise we're in a world of pain.

Didn't Terlich get a two year deal at the end of last year? Inexplicably...

I think they are both contracted. I'd pay them out if we think we can replace them with better players. I reckon we might be able to. Particularly, Terlich.

I'd still be delisting Terlich, Matt Jones and Rohan Bail. But the latter two might be given a pass of there isn't a better alternative. At least, they're both prepared to run and harass opponents. Bail doesn't get enough of it for mine.

Okay, so we've won 3 games, but there was a bit of swagger in regards to the way we went about things against the Dogs. Namely from J Hogan, but a few others were strutting around by the end of it. As long as their heads remain fastened, I like a bit of arrogance. The big clubs have arrogance. Would love to have some of that back.

Fair enough. I think there are still far too many (5 to 6) D to C graders on our list. We need to start replacing them with B graders at the very least. Agree about one A grader though, if we can manage it. I also think you'll find that Howe will be traded if the price is right. He still only does one thing and that is mark.

Well, we're going to be going nowhere then. We need to keep improving the list every year. In fact, every club needs to do that every year, otherwise they risk falling behind. Col's a far more influential player when he plays instinctively. I just wonder whether he'll ever have the freedom to do that under Roos (and rightfully so). Spot on, mate. Very versatile. Can play on tall or small, can break the lines and isn't a bad kick.

Yeah, I reckon he will. Particularly, once we've won our 6-8 games.

He gets a three year deal, IMO.

I think we'll see six go from the main list. Bail, McKenzie, Jamar, M Jones, Terlich and Howe to be traded. Grimes will probably get a one or two year deal on very little cash. At least, that's how I'd play it.

Now, would you give Tommy Mac an 8 year deal as well? I'd certainly consider it. With the advent of free agency, list management is coming into a new age. I wonder how certain clubs will deal with it.

Neither.

10 for $10 mill.

Completely agree, mate. He's one you can build a dynasty around. With the way the salary cap is inflating each year, a mill a season for ten years probably wouldn't be a massive dint in the cap. You could also front load some of that now to ensure we can keep others down the track.

He also doesn't try to kick the cover off it, which is nice to see.

There's no chance we take McCartin even if he's available. We'll be taking two midfielders and if we only take one and then say Wright, that'll mean Taylor and co don't think much of the rest of the midfield talent in this draft. Roos has signposted all year that we'll be taking mids, mids, mids.

Well, given we've barely touched our midfield this off season, after saying everyone's tradeable, you'd bloody hope we'd look to invest in our C grade (B grade if I'm being extremely kind) midfield.

Agree, but equally, it doesn't mean he's not worth a 3rd or 4th rounder. Not saying we'll take him though.

I found the first half of the film predictable, but the final act was gripping and head ache-inducing. Bond girl Rosamund Pike is amazing. Fincher's direction is amazing, as is the cinematography. Reznor's score is wonderful too. A very solid watch.

Is that sarcasm, jazza?

Not sure if anyone's seen it, but the show that inspired me to become a filmmaker is returning in 2016, Twin Peaks. So excited. Not a film, but a DVD boxset.
