I’m rather surprised in view of Jeff Garlett’s rather inglorious end to the season that he hasn’t been shopped around (at least there has been no suggestion). I would have thought he might have gotten some interest from clubs like Gold Coast or Brisbane.

Rest assured, the necessary phone numbers are inside every recruiter’s contacts and calls are being made even on the weekend.

So the scenario is that just before Fremantle takes Jesse Hogan on a tour of their facility, a number of rumours start circulating about him that paint him in a negative light. The Dockers make him a lucrative offer to come home and then give Melbourne a low ball offer which, when rejected, causes them to pull out of doing their due diligence. Most clubs have gone beyond that style of negotiating but the rhinestone cowboys of Freo have yet to learn. I think they might be experiencing a bit of a wake up call at just about now.

Any chance that Andrew Bradshaw going to Melbourne the could be part of a deal involving Hogan?

I doubt anyone needs to be told about the opportunity that awaits them if they can hit top form and get into the side for the finals.

I wonder whether this is going to have an effect on the rest of the Collingwood team?

The Redsocks are killing them in the MLB. The Redlegs to do the job here!!!

There are some great threads up on Saintsational ATM, reminiscent of the dark days over here. "Time to turn toxic" "Has Richo lost the players?" "Spineless Saints forfeit" "The most hopeless st kilda team I have ever seen" and what about this one in the middle of it all? "Saintsational meet and greet????" I was tempted to register and start a thread suggesting Mark Neeld was available as a replacement coach but I thought I would end up feeling guilty about trolling a team while it's down.

Wheels have come off.

Tonight just made it harder to get him.

Disgusted they left Shannon Byrnes out of the final squad last night.

No ceegar for India - missed out by 40 runs. I suppose if the Aussies can topple the Proteas over there then we could take the #1 in the world mantle.

Callan Ward already ruled out because of an operation today.

Fair enough but why not just invent some of their history? After all, everything else about GWS is fake and contrived.

and a host of others who were touted as draft picks but weren't selected. I'm compiling a list of these prospects which I'll put on the JT Board when I get around to it.

FOXTEL takes total to $2.6 million Congratulations to the Melbourne Football Club on this fantastic achievement. Let's knock off $3,000,000 by the end of the month and kick on to $4,000,000 by the end of the year.
