There’s now a November edition Cal Twomey's Phantom form guide: November edition

Maybe Optus picked up the rights like they did with the EPL. Never mind. It’s as boring as hell and we won’t feature in the first half anyway.

Sleepy - yes most of the time. No doubt young Matthew comes from good stock because the name McGannon seems to be synonymous with footy down there - Cliff McGannon

Do you think he's a chance of getting at least one game in the JLT Sports pre season comp?

Like Mark Twain, those rumours about my passing are highly exaggerated.

There must be plenty of $ in insurance if they're sponsoring this competition.

Strange that you should mention this because when brother Tom started out, I envisioned him as being a potential Glen Jakovich but his disposal ...

Canst thou not minister to a mind diseased, Pluck from the memory a rooted sorrow, Raze out the written troubles of the brain And with some sweet oblivious antidote Cleanse the stuffed bosom of that perilous stuff Which weighs upon the heart? Therein the patient must minister to himself.

Perhaps I can assist. Tell me about your earliest memory?

3AW reporting James Hird hospitalised with 'serious' health scare - here.

With a new coach coming onto the scene the opportunity is always there for every player on the list who makes an impact in the preseason to claim a place in the best 22. There's no reason why Garland who was out of vogue under Roos in his last year as coach to reestablish himself in the team. I wish him luck. Naturally, this applies to any number of others on our list which is what makes things so exciting at the club at this time. Everyone can make it (with the possible exception of #8 who, on the face of it, doesn't appear to be interested).

Perhaps you might have heard the one about statistics and damn lies. Well this is one about using past performance and applying it to the present and the future. It simply doesn't take into account that some of the midfields with older players are bound to decline while the younger midfields have the capacity to overtake them with rapid improvement. There's nothing wrong with the Champion Data people. Pollsters are getting it wrong all of the time. Look at the recent US elections.

So how does this work?

Apparently the hair tests won't be used to establish strikes against players under the 2/3 strikes rule.

OK ... so if it's a VFL training and match simulation and it's a "short session", why not give the Truck a brief run as a warm up for what's to come?

Leaving aside Callan Ward, they lose two of their best players from that side. • Treloar - thanks to Collingwood • Cameron - thanks to the Tribunal Two very significant outs.

Didn't Bomber Thompson tell them that the thingy thermomodulin stuff that they were injected with will stop them from getting cancer? You gotta believe Bomber, surely?

Anything on Yarren Jaffer-Williams?

My profession is grateful to all those who contribute to this thread. It's saved us a great deal of time and expense in our research efforts.

10.00am and there should be more during the week.

Worth going for the presentation of the players at the end and also to find out some more on the injured players like Angus Brayshaw.

I might be going early with this call but I think we won the Ben Kennedy - Jeremy Howe trade by a long margin.

Just listening in to SEN when a caller by the name of Chris from Camberwell rang with three points to make:- 1. Melbourne needs a key forward and should go after McCarthy from GWS by offering its first round pick. 2. Melbourne should be claiming Darcy Parish as father/son because his father Les Parish played more than 100 games for us. 3. Melbourne should claim Andy Lovell's son under the father/son rule as he's a gun. I don't have a problem with the first point although McCarthy wants to go back home to WA to play for Freo. On the second, Darcy isn't Les' son and in any event, Les only played 7 games for us so he's not eligible to go father/son. On the third, Kieren Lovell who is the player referred to, isn't Andy's son either. I did however, love the bloke's passion, even if he is a bit misguided. Anyone know him?

Beats listening to Meatloaf's attempts at singing.
