Nope. Membership is non transferable and I.d checks, although rare, do happen. The ticket itself, because purchased with the afl membership, is also non transferable. Too big of a risk for someone who has waited 8 or so years to become a full member.

As a centre square tap ruckman, yes. Anywhere else, no. So...nope.

I would play Presti for Goldsack. Goldsack was only average and didn't grab his chance with both hands on Friday. Saints to win by a few goals, Lenny Norm Hayes.

In no way what we need. He is far from the big, tall, contested marking bail out option that Bails has been speaking of. Just another lead up forward, and we have 4 better than him in this role as is.

Correct. Was in Jon Ralph's online daily piece called 'The Buzz'.

Exactly right, Taylor was lower and first to the ball, and was hit in the head from front on, exactly what the rule was brought in for. This has nothing to do with it being Thomas, I know he has been excellent this year. But I'm sure he appreciates your defense, mate. If it was any other player I would say the same, because we have seen much lesser hits suspended this year.

Didn't notice that, but speaking of Thomas, if he doesn't miss next week through suspension for his front on hit to Taylors head then it is a joke. Exactly what the rule was brought in for.

I agree, very valid. Cant see what you need to settle down about either E25...very interesting response indeed.

I wouldn't be surprised if we offered him a chance. Although not of the same quality as Aaron, his defensive pressure is just as good. Not a necessity, but I wouldn't be surprised.

I also read that Hun article first and got the same impression you did. I couldn't believe that would be right so I searched further to find the afl had announced it.

Compo was announced by the AFL yesterday as per my post above. End of first round, which is still officially a first round selection as the Hun are saying.

Thanks for the update RudeBoy. I am sure we are all relieved to hear that Liam is safe and well. Liam is a credit to his community and I for one am very proud of him, as im sure everybody else associated with the MFC is.

HT when you get the chance you can add: Campbell Brown - End of 1st round selection

Just wondering how you come to that conclusion?

That's right, Tappy signed a 3 year initial deal. Bruce 2010 expiry as you thought

Seriously?? Initial 2 year deal

Bruce is one off the top of my head

They were speaking about him on triple m last night. He is on around 500-550k a year at Freo, so won't come cheap. That would make him our highest paid player for sure.

Bock and Rischitelli compo is pick at the end of the first round (after the premiers selection in their chosen draft - anybody know what happens if teams choose to use this pick in the same draft? Who goes first?) Krakouer compo is a second round selection (directly after Ports second round selection in their chosen draft from now to 2015.

I'll tack a stab at that one. Probably so it can be on the appropriate board, being drafting and trading. Not that hard is it?

It has come from a stupid rumour by Damien Barrett on the footy show Thursday night. No proof or anything of the like, just a comment because he had no other real news. During the same segment he said Andrew Walker was out of contract and looking gold coast bound...turns out he isn't out of contract at all. Quality journalist that Barrett.

Its on the drafting forum...the same place this thread is...

Matt. Talking draft here, not trading. Vic Metro/Calder Cannons. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SX-ew8-9GAo

I believe its 3? Correct me if Im wrong anybody.

Would cost a bit. Important player for the Swans and in AA contention this year.
