I remember Joe well. Came down from a remote town on the Campaspe River in 1963 and starred in a practice match but but was involved in a terrible collision that left five players including himself injured. Joe had a cartilage operation and missed the rest of the season. Returned home and his town was inundated in the floods that year but came back for the 1964 pre season but damaged his shoulder in a car accident. Had no idea what happened to him after that.

You can talk till youre blue in the face, this was the biggest selection gaffe in the draft history of the club. Other recruiters will tell you that if you spoke to the kid before the draft you would have known that he didn't have the temperament for AFL. It was obvious from his first training session that he was going to struggle. How did we not pick it?

No. They tell me if we draft him McCartin will,

He's doing well that boy Stretch.

Cost them $1m for the Weapon to keep his mouth shut. WOW

Correction: After this case, Paul Little is worth $875m.

Mitch Clark has taken the number 11 off his twitter handle. Anyone read anything into that?

Not only that. They were playing for a place in the finals but now, they're gorn.

Meanwhile David Grace QC who is representing 34 AFL players served with those currently idle show cause notices says what? Zero Tolerance. Essendon player representative has zero tolerance for athletes who do the wrong thingI think he must have two hats that he wears at the same time.

Be careful what you wish for I would like to know what Simpson has done with the Weagles in the past few weeks. I saw their game at Patterson's Stadium against Richmond and they were terrible. Suddenly they really are looking like a finals side. Incredible.

One could also speculate that the mother now understands that if she speaks out again it could mean curtains for her son's career which is likely since the identity of the player is widely known and he's right down in the food chain at Bomberland.

Watto pleads for a quick decision from ASADA - Time to end the ASADA saga says Essendon great Tim Watson .

Welcome Mel and what a great time to make your debut. Congratulations.

I suppose the decision to drop Trengove and Toumpas was made early last week but I wonder if this was a bit premature? Here we were dropping two players perceived to be slow in the very week when Sydney is lashed by heavy rain.

Exactly! Obviously something happened to these young men when they were in their infancy. It could have been during their breast feeding days or perhaps their first coach in their junior days made them play with a scoreboard.

Careful. We don't want to upset the poor dears, do we?

The problem with that is that these no evidence that Dank saw the players at all but that he and Bate consulted with each other. Hence, there's no connection and that's why the club had no case to answer.

Sigh

Same with Carlton - Brock McLean is gawn

After the 2010 grand final there were reports that six players from each of the competing sides were tested and six from Collingwood were found to have high HGH levels while all of the St. Kilda players had normal levels. Nobody's names were ever published and the report went away.

Come back to me in 4 to 6 weeks.

So Strauss & Pedo injured today. It's starting.

My heart bleeds.

It's easy to see why he was picked for Friday night's game. He has a wealth of knowledge about the way Geelong plays and could be our secret weapon. I'm predicting 5 goals from him and a Demon upset.

Much of that will depend on how Billy goes and how well we do during the coming season. If he blitzes for SA and we improve and move up the ladder, the chances are that we will have to select him with our first pick.
