Good news!

I used to dream of a time when this trade period would mean little to me. Oh my God it is here I don't give two hoots about it this year. Let those inferior teams fight over third grade talents. Am I being arrogant? YES!

Depends how hungry you are CB.

The thing is for that type of player he is a pup and has made a serious contribution to us winning a flag. He has lots of development left yet.

He is average or the Hawks would not be looking to off load him.

I still waking up wondering if it is true dc.

I am reminded of that saying binman, when all else fails read the instructions.

How did you go layzie?

Spot on DJ. I assume nothing about the end of the pandemic now.

May have been better to invest in the MFC however there are no votes to gained by doing that.

I hope you are right godees but my advice says otherwise. We are going to find out shortly and I have to say that Government results at all levels so far leaves me with very confidence.

I am not sure we will ever see "normal" again but a Covid normal would be very nice. From my friends and Rels I see now that people are on some levels just ignoring the advice now. They are well and truly over not seeing their family, they take reasonable precautions and then just do it. This is as true as I sit here typing I have one elderly friend who said to me "this is worse than dying I am vaccinated and I am not doing it any more I am seeing my family, if I catch Covid and die so be it".

We need a very good crystal ball BBP.

You are not alone. What they need is a good culture!

If you have never one a flag i.e. Freo ain't they the longest?

Did you change your mind Mr. Leg?

Watching all these clubs with problems with players wanting to leave and others being shown the door when they probably want to stay is almost as good as winning the Premiership. Well it is fun anyway. Where is the “Family “ part of the family club now? All of a sudden we have great culture and they have a poor one. Funny what winning does.

We now have the shortest!

I seriously doubt they will make the finals in 2022. Then they will have a big payout to consider. Stars are fading fast. They will start to get beaten at home then it will really hit the fan

I see today that the Vic government has generously allowed 10,000 patrons into the Melbourne Cup. That would hardly cover training staff, broadcasters and owners. In that light it is hard to see the MFC being able to have 30k+ at the G for any sort of celebration this side of next year. First we were being lockdown to save us, now we are being lockdown because the hospital system cannot cope. My god they have had 20 months to prepare for this and have it would appear done very little. I have a close relative who works in a hospital ICU department, she tells me there has been no changes to expand for increased patient levels since Feb 2020. I have no idea how she keeps fronting up for work every day. Back to the MFC, the future for celebrations in the next couple of months looks bleak.

Well behind I would think. I have watched him a few times for Casey and he has been average at best. The problem all players like him have had is that due to the lockdowns they have had almost no chance of developing over the last two years. Tough on all players trying to develop and stay on a list.

I had not been born in 48 DD. Soon after though.

Spot on WJ a few on here need to take a bex and have a good lie down.

For the past umpteen years this time of the year has been the most interesting time of the football year. This year I could not care less, we are the premiers on the back of some very good recruiting. The FD has iced these details in the past I trust their ability this year and will be interested when it is concluded just for a change.

For the first week I could not the song out of my head. Must have sung it 2021 times.
