Little Richard

This is pathetic.

That should be that, but you never know.

Strange, wasn't Chaplin a defender? Anyway, welcome Troy.

I'm a big wrap for Nankervis after watching him this season. Despite not having any bags of goals, he's coming along nicely (for a 22 year old ruck man) and has a very strong set of hands. If the price suits, he could be a nice fit.

When does his contract expire? Definitely the type of player they need, that much is at least true.

Precisely. I want to watch Ross Lyon crash and burn. Also my housemate goes for Freo.

And just in case you forgot how good this guy is:

Didn't realise he was that old. I always thought he and De Boer were pretty solid players. De Boer is only 26, I think he'll get picked up by someone.

Matt De Boer, Clancee Pearce, Tendai Mzungu and MFC favourite Jack Hannath were all delisted by Fremantle today.

Matt De Boer, Clancee Pearce, Tendai Mzungu and MFC favourite Jack Hannath were all delisted by Fremantle today. Any interest in any of these guys as DFA?

Hah! Someone should tell 'AFL Trade Whisperer' too.

Flat no from me. Not worth the over inflated price that he'd inevitably cost. Much rather we had a look at someone like Nankervis.

Today just keeps getting better, after Hogan and Lobb, an article states that Dion Prestia turned down an offer from the Hawks. Even though he's obviously going to Richmond and not us, it makes me so happy to see Hawthorn rejected. Hope they manage to mess up the O'Meara deal.

Haven't got around to Twin Peaks but it's on my extensive list. Breaking Bad is excellent viewing RE Bond: I really rate the old school Bond films, and I am a huge fan of the books. I get the product of white Europe thing, but I think the audience of Bond these days is much younger and doesn't really have the same knowledge of Bond beginnings or the time that the original Bond was actually based in, so I think the fact that Elba is a dapper British gentleman with a tough edge in his acting than any of the other competitors (in my eyes) would make him a good candidate. Having said all of that, I would love to see them go back and re-do some of the original stories, in the proper era and so forth. But that's such a risk considering how good most of the originals were. Luther was created by Neil Cross, who did a fair bit of writing for Spooks. Nice! How is that going? Been busy? Yep still writing (and sometimes directing), done a few short films and gearing up for a feature film in the new year which will be amazing, if we can get it off the ground. You know how these things go I'm sure haha.

Amazing stuff, made my hour long drive into work so much better when I heard this. I wonder if AFL Trade Whisperer made it to 4K followers on twitter?

He's done pretty well for the first 4 years of his career. Much better than most.

Haven't seen Oz, but I do rate The Shield very highly. The Wire edges it out for me, just love the realistic and super gritty edge that they totally nail. The Shield builds some amazing tension but at times there's a bit too much All-American macho in there. Still love it though. Season 2 of TD isn't on my to do list any time soon. Rake - the Australian version, very well written and Richard Roxburgh is great in the main role. The other shows you've mentioned, I haven't seen much of at all, except for The Fall (1st season) which I thought was pretty cool. I've only just started getting into binge watching TV but Luther was one of the first I watched and that is a brilliant show. Idris is definitely a huge favourite, is amazing in that and The Wire and I suppose that provides a nice segway into your Bond references too... he'd be a pretty cool Bond. I actually haven't really enjoyed any Bond films since Casino Royale. They just don't seem to do it for me anymore. You're obviously pretty into film and TV - do you have any involvement in film making at all?

That's my thinking. Hopefully it's legit then.

Probably rubbish. Anyone know who runs this account? It's not an AFL endorsed user is it?

I'm glad that's your sentiment of Interstellar. I was pretty underwhelmed and it annoys me when people fawn all over it. It was decent, but I still much prefer Inception, The Prestige and The Dark Knight when considering Nolan's work. Keen to see Dunkirk.

And I finally got around to watching two TV series' that I've been meaning to for a while - True Detective (S1) and Rake. Both brilliant, TD was an amazing experience and I put it up there with the best. Still, nothing tops The Wire IMO.

Keen to see Snowden, have only heard really good things. I managed to make it to IMAX for the first time in years, to see A Beautiful Planet. It was amazing and I forgot just how good the 3D experience is there. The '3D' that they offer at regular cinemas does not even begin to compare.

So Barrett and Ralph have mail that seems to be totally different. I don't think anyone knows what will happen.

And may God have mercy on their souls.

You can definitely add Ablett to your list above as well. I think it's clear that landing a star doesn't guarantee success. Look at Geelong and Hawthorn, the two most successful sides in recent memory. They developed extremely strong lists through savvy drafting and trading, and developing their own gun players. Sydney too, before Buddy/Tippett. And now the Dogs have done the same. It's what we need to do (and are doing), and for that reason I don't think we'll be trading in anyone bigger than Hibberd, who will be a great recruit regardless.
