They played the audio of that interview on 360 and I'd put my hard earned on him leaving. Was being far too coy for mine.

If I was in Frosts boots and was clearly aware of the talk around Lever, I would also put contract talks on hold. Im sure his manager would be talking with other managers and the delay has sound logic behind it.

Was it that same wind that helped knock Oliver over? It's all becoming clear now.

I think it's about time the AFL started looking at alterations to ground surfaces - particularly to keep pace with the frequency of rule changes. I'd like to see some grounds with a 2m elevation from one to the other. Maybe a hump across the half forward and back lines. Turn another ground into a velodrome type set-up with berms so the faster players can use them to run high and evade tacklers. I also have some thoughts on things such as artificial breezes caused by huge fans at either ends of some grounds which could counter-act some of the one-sided umpiring we regulalry see. Just a few thoughts.

Sweet dreams tonight, deeko.

Or take a chest mark.

I think the fact that in the article he's mentioned his partner has a fair say in the decision, you wouldn't be silly to think he's odds on to move back to Vic.

If Jake wants to play for Melbourne they'll have suck up whatever we offer/give them.

Was just watching Steven May rag-dolling Hawks opponents with effortless tackles and I started wondering if Oscar could chuck on another 8 kilo he'd be the gorilla minder we need. We need a heavy defender that is hard to move off the ball and I think it's time to grow one. Oscar is the man I reckon.

Agree with everything you say but if he nominates Melbourne (or any other club for that matter) history suggests the trade will be done in the end regardless but possibly not independent of other trades. Ed: will the fact we were wanting to draft him with the Trengove to RFC pick hold any sentiment for him to choose us? Can only hope.

Are you watching today's game? To be fair, this game is highlightjng how terrible we are all over the ground. I'm over the team and not in the mood to debate mate.

Let me know when you find Utopia. The way the game is currently being played hardly affords the the type of player you have in mind. The relentless pressure and outnumber style is in vogue and will be for some time I reckon. Give me grunt and the ability to get it into the forward line any day of the week. Our greatest concern is the inefficient conversion from good entries into F50. I think we have enough class with Lewis, Hibberd and Salem right now without running out and paying overs for a silky player that struggles getting his hands dirty at the coal face.

I tend to agree. He did quite a few mature things in last nights game - one in particular was when he set up a crucial goal in the last qtr with a great well-timed handball in heavy traffic. We've got fringe players in the way of Harmes, ANB, JKH, Bugg, Hannan, Wagner, Melksham and a couple of others rotating through the 22 at the moment. I understand this is how depth works and pressure on the 22 is kept up but I'd rather a player like Zak Jones in the team full time because he's got all of the tricks the aforementioned group have all bundled up in one.

The Suns are going nowhere fast. May will be 26 yrs old for season 2018 so he's got another ~6 years left in him. I think he'll want to play it back in Victoria, on the MCG in front of friends and family. And in red and blue.

Jake Niall comes across as one of the most unconvincing reporters out there. That and he looks like he could star in a B grade Zombie movie.

Lever is handy but hardly the player many here seem to be moisting up over. He's of the size (regardless of his toughness) that will still get man-handled by the big KPF's just like Omac does. We need a big, strong, experienced and skillful KPD in the team.

No offence to @stevethemanjordan who I rate on this forum but why, oh why, are we discussing potential trades after only 2 rounds of footy have been played? One could be forgiven if it was looking Like 2013 all over again but it ain't. And those who are suggesting trading Brayshaw need to take a good hard look at themselves in the mirror and then head butt it.

The way media commentators talk it up nowadays it that almost every team is one-another's biggest rival. There's 18 teams in the competition and the whole concept is diluted for me because of that and until we get to the pointy end of the competition and have a rivalry with another club, similar to the Hawks/Cats/Swans level, I just can't see anything of note.

Went and watched Logan today. 4.5 stars for mine. Impressed by the storyline, acting and a couple of decent plot twists. Oh, if you like your violence and gore, this is a must see.

By the end of this season, Jayden Hunt will be spoken about more than Josh Kelly when it comes to the 2013 draft. Biased? Clearly.

Did I indicate a club? I didn't mean it to sound purely Freo. Regardless, the Eagles won't contend around the Giants period.

Nah, Lobb had the opportunity to this past season but recommitted to the Giants. He's a different cat to McCarthy (but that's not saying much). Lobb will play for flags over the next few years. Can't see Freo recovering that quickly.

Kelly.
