Highly unlikely Sydney would release Jones. Highly unlikely. Horse said after Zac's first game that they targeted him in the draft because they were in need of a young, hard running half back. We'd have to pay well overs to get him.

They should put an empty VB stubby on the top of each post and players get 9 pts for hitting it flush on.

He probably should have said Stevens would be a RFA next year undeeterred

Umm... some of our high draft picks are not making the firsts on a regular basis, or not performing happily in the seniors, have been getting thumped by 100+ pts regularly over the last few years and have either held out for more cash, moved elsewhere as FAs or waited to see the club's 'direction'. Lets not throw too many stones lamashtu.

If he appeals unsuccessfully does he get 5?

Nail on head, Tony.

One would still leave a smile on my face mono, but your pedantry is noted as correct.

A faint hint of the smile would still be on my face if Melbourne were struggling yet had been in 2 grand finals only a few years ago. Fat chance Saints.

If they get a PP and they beat us in round 1, logic says we should get 2 x PPs. Well, my twisted logic anyway. No chance Sainters, need to sin for a few more years before even getting a look in.

Saw footage on FC of Parker crunching two GWS players in a contest and running away with the ball. He looks super strong and plays deceptively tall. Would love him, but unlikely to happen. Hope I'm wrong.

Goal umpiring went downhill when they took away the white lab coats and brimmed hats and made them look like baseball refs. The game is becoming more and more dull and homogenised with sports from o/seas. The 'hit the post' rule is unique, leave it alone please.

There was a moment before Petrie put his fingers on Lake's face that Lake had his upper arm and shoulder across Petrie's nose and mouth. In the second camera angle (see link below), it looks like Lake was trying to smother Petrie's face. Then Petrie raises his hand to Lake's face, followed by Lake strangling in return. Whatever way you looked at it, it's very, very ugly. http://www.afl.com.au/video/2014-07-07/lake-sent-straight-to-tribunal

Bugger. Wasn't aware.

Swallow Gold Coast (Swallow the person, not the verb). Get around him Roosy.

That could be read in soooooooooo many bad ways Toady.

I bet you Steven is saying "how did my little boy grow up so quick?"

You're a sucker for punishment Picket.

Still... I hear he likes to get in a fight. And his favourite food is fish 'n chips and Maccas. Just sayin'...

Is that a trick question? Would it be Watts and Stef Martin?

Some interesting thinking there. However, our second rounder may well go to Stretch as F/S, which is bid upon before trade week starts.

Essendon should take three late draft picks for him. They'll need as many players as they can get their grubby hands on to field a team next year. :)

Does Lake have carry over points? Could turn 3 weeks into 4.

Now that's an understatement Sassy.

Both Jones', Bernie and Viney have been good.

Dom Tyson quiet tonight. Guess he's not the only one....
