Pedo will be 31 by start of next year. I like the guy a lot and want him to hold his spot for a long as possible, but he will struggle to get a game beyond next year, possibly end of this year. Weed will need to have a big preseason and come on next year or we'll look elsewhere for another kpf. Having said that, Reid from Sydney might be in our sights soon.

Thought you were going to shut up about Oscar and let others decide? Not only are you a contrarian picket but you can't keep your promises. Oscar improved as the season progressed last year and he improved on the weekend as the game progressed. He makes some clangers which stand out, as do most on our team, but he is tracking well for his age, position and size. With another couple of preseason, 4-6kg of muscle and around 40 games, I believe he will become integral to our structure.

At the time Brayshaw was better at 3 than Lever. We have what we wanted. I'm running with that.

Summarises your life Biff

Great collection ash35. But also a reminder of some talent that for whatever reason, burnt out too quickly. Jako, Charles, Jurrah

Too right it is. Fortunately I haven't had to clean up after you or Uncle Bitters. The Union wouldn't put up with that

I crossed paths with AVB at the toilets at Tulla Airport today. The good news: no limp, foot must be good. The bad news: not naturally gifted, got him well and truly covered.

I have often thought a kpd doesn't have to be particularly tall, but be able to read the ball coming in and have both a good leap and the body strength to not be pushed around in the contest. Good disposal is also important. Our kpds have some of these traits but fail in others.

Thank you Donald Rumsfeld

Good to see the Dees have produced some players with courage. Apparently Leoncelli was the first passenger to stand up to the crazy guy on that flight last night out of Melbourne threatening to enter the cockpit and blow up the plane.

He'd sign on for 15 years in that case

Done in a heartbeat.

He would've been handy to help as a ruck in the absence of Gawn and Spencer Just sayin'...

Jack Leslie would want $250k just as a sign on fee. With the new CBA he'd need at least $500k pa to change clubs. Also, I don't think Goodwin sees Lewis or Brayshaw to be discounted from our future as easily as you do. Vince, possibly after this season.

Will win or go close to winning the Bluey

We should look a bit west of the SCG. I'd like us to make a play for a classy GWS mid with a few seasons under their belt, say 24-26 yr old. D Smith, Coniglio, Whitfield or maybe even Shiel.

That would be a first round pick Ethan

Like it ENYAW. Your on the money... wherever that may be.

Such logic is clearly lost on your respondee Wise.

Tell her to pack her BDSM gear as well Earl. And a good bottle of vodka. It'll be worth the sacrifice

Bwahahahaha! You don't like them but seem to think they are worth something at the trade table. Yeah sure, why not! Classic.

Jane Niall is better than most. He has pretty good contacts and is usually not far off the mark. Having said that, he's a reporter and all that... Wouldn't mind us chasing Zak if the price wasn't prohibitive.

Coniglio. Italian for rabbit

There's an extra $2mill in SC next year according the article in The Age about Norf's offer to Dusty. How in hell can they hope to land Kelly and Dusty? $2mill could us help land May and a mid such as D Smith, the Rabbit or Whitless from GWS

Or he might've gone the same way as stuie, curry & beer or dee-luded. Killed off in the dead of night. Our very own murder mystery, if you will. Who's next? The butler hiding in the pantry (dc)? The Lady of the House decending the staircase (Maple)? Or the Drunken Uncle fumbling around the cellar for another bottle of shiraz?
