Uncle Bitter being referred to as a Country Member. Ha! As Gough once famously said, "yes, I remember"

Not sure that being best friends is a factor in draft choices Song, but I share your reflective pain.

Then pick 3 to GWS and a bucket full of dosh to Treloar. Money talks. Thus this trade/draft period we might come out with Treloar, Ben Kennedy, Milkshake (for 2nd round pick), late second rounder for Toumpas, possibly a second rounder if Watts is traded. Use two second rounders and a third rounder in draft. If believed good enough, Jake Lovett as F/S late pick or rookie.

What you all don't know is Biffen's real name is Chris and he has a pre pubescent voice. Problem solved. Next.

Last hour offer by GWS when they knew it would be too hard to get the deal through. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think Howe was away on his annual leave and couldn't be reached. Kock teaser offer.

Agreed. We know he can do it, but has looked disheartened the last couple of years. WTF wouldn't after the pharmacy led saga of Hird et al. I think it's well worth it if he doesn't get stung by WADA. I trust Roos and Goodwin to get the best out of him.

So now it ok to attack someone personally as long as it's on a footy post? I clearly remember Nasher saying that abuse via pm was no different to abuse on an open thread. Please don't tell us that you've never called anyone personal names or belittled posters now Stuie. Done it countless times, as ManDee noted above. You seem to conveniently forget your own indiscretions when it suits. None of us are angels.

Because there are other clubs that have psd picks before us. Is he under contract at Ess?

If you were a saint and didn't belittle others regularly on Dland then your comments might hold water Stuie. They don't.

Leuie to Essendon now. Brisbane probably get pick 22 compo http://www.theage.com.au/afl/afl-news/essendon-to-sign-lions-ruckman-matthew-leuenberger-as-free-agent-20151011-gk6hze.html

Ditto the tribunal

Frank Thring lives!

Equally Roos' brief was to instil culture. Grunt and intensity cannot be sustained without a new culture IMO. Guys like Brayshaw, Hogan, Viney, Stretch, ANB and so on, are hungry for success as a team more so than individuals and they don't appear to take no for an answer. I'm liking it.

Slight sidetrack, but I just saw ad for 9 news tomorrow night (Monday) highlighting an interview with Sam Stynes on life post Jim. 6pm I think.

Good post Macca

Wears the no 11 with them too!

Part of the Unequalisation policy Pipefitter.

Worth noting that Hawthorn gave JA permission to shop around and test the water. Not unreasonable for him to look for the workplace that best suits him I would've thought.

Kinda like speed dating, but speed drafting. Glad our recruiting team are more thorough than that!

Self flagellating with a gimp mask on. Now there's an unfortunate image

Isn't it about time for Uncle Bitter to be back? Or does he still have the gimp mask on?

I have no doubt that if Roos/Goodwin think JA would fit into our plans they'd have a red hot crack. That we haven't heard much noise about who the Club is going after is good news to me. Melksham aside, we haven't said too much (and a lot of that noise is from JM and his manager). Going to be an interesting trade period.

If we draft this Rioli and he turns out half as good as Cyril, I'd gladly consider JKH superfluous to our needs. And I like the potential of JKH btw.
