Alarmists? The only alarmists I see around here are those that are alarmed they might be a few dollars out of pocket.

Judging by Knightmare's review, the midfield may well become Oliver's Army; let's hope they're here to stay.

It wasn't really a snide comment... it was more about his kicking skills and was a failed attempt at a humorous response to an earlier post.

Yes, but he's gone to Essendon, so he should be twice the size by season's start.

Hopefully the similarities begin and end with the hair colour.

As far as I am concerned that is NOT Fleetwood Mac... the moment Peter Green walked out of the door was the moment Fleetwood Mac ceased to exist.

And "This Week in Britain".

A couple more from that era...

I actually don't have any thoughts about him one way of the other... if we take him, fine... if we don't take him, fine. I know he has performed quite well against us in the past and I would not be at all surprised if he was on the radar of other clubs (that's something both you and I have no knowledge of). I suppose we will know more over the coming weeks.

Well, we have had experience with Hogan and Petracca who sat out a year before playing for the Dees... maybe they see a benefit in securing him now rather than risk his going elsewhere?

I recommend almost anything and everything by the Japanese writer Haruki Murakami, but in particular "Kafka on the Shore" and "The Wind Up Bird Chronicle". He has also written a brilliant piece on the sarin gassing in the Tokyo subway called "Underground" in which he interviewed and told the stories of both victims and perpertrators.

Well, I had better not write it in that case :-)

No... should I? ;-)

And if anhyone is likely to be up in Sydney on Friday the 28th August... a bit of shameless self promotion: https://www.facebook.com/events/1006716059360062/

Unfortunately I couldn't get along, but I would have thought that the highlight would have been when Mr Hannaford himself got up and played all resplendent in orange.

You live in a hospital?

About half way down there is an entry "Win in Geelong".

Bumping this thread ready for an update on the OP.

From Justin Plapp's round 9 player review: Mitch White: Whitey played really well on the weekend. Some of his 50/50 contests and one-on-one stuff was really strong, particularly in critical contests. He had 15 possessions, one tackle and eight marks. Two or three of those marks were from opposition kicks, where he got himself into really good position and impacted the footy in the air. He was also able to close out his opponent really well. Whitey is growing and improving at a really good rate and he’s a pleasure to coach, because he follows instructions. He’s showing some really strong improvement, so he was one of our better players.

The weirdest thing about the new Jurassic World movie is that it is getting very good reviews with most saying it is finally a sequel worthy of the original first Jurassic Park film. Not sure I'm going to bother though. The next film I'm looking forward to taking a trip to the cinema to see is Ant Man.

I took my kids to see Mad Max Fury Road on Saturday... didn't need to use the grey matter, but it's a wild ride that made for a very enjoyable couple of hours.

A proof reader's nightmare.

I'm actually quietly confident that he will boot 5 this weekend against Port.

I think Hogan could get his bag of goals at any time... he's not building towards it, but rather he's waiting to get consistent quality delivery from the mids.

But with a different meaning since you've been gone?
