I think this is going to be a common theme all year. If Viney and TMac were available even harder, but I guess your always going to have injuries. Melksham and Tyson are certainties, I personally would like to see Bugg and Brayshaw but Hannan, Frost and Maynard would be stiff. On a side note, my wife is a house cleaner and cleans Melksham's parents house. I'll try and get some inside info ?

I normally like to start with which teams I think are certainties to play finals then the teams I think certainly won't, then fill in the middle. Every year this gets more and more difficult. My top 3 I think make it easily and are a step above everyone else and from 12 down aren't finals material. Geelong are the hardest to pin, Selwood Dangerfield and Abblet may be the best starting 3 midfielders of the modern era. (I'm 30 so hard to comment before 2000's). 1. Richmond 2. GWS 3. Sydney 4. Geelong 5. Melbourne 6. Adelaide 7. Essendon 8. Port Adelaide 9. Western Bulldogs 10. Fremantle 11. West Coast 12. Hawthorn 13. Collingwood 14. St Kilda 15. Briabane 16. Gold Coast 17. Carlton 18. North Melbourne

Raspberry Cruisers?

Agreed, a great article and some very humble words but just words, hopefully for Max he can look back win lose or draw and see he done his best. I am a 135kg keyboard warrior so I realise that it's a bit rich but it's still the truth.

Spinning? I read some ground breaking scientific paper a few days ago that the earth is flat after all these years

Couldn't agree more, mine was just Petracca highlights

Without question...

I started a tattoo thread a few years ago (before kids when I could afford them) but I was alone. Maybe it was Demonology? Anyway got "Every heart beats true" from shoulder to shoulder. Looks sweet. I actually done a fair bit of research to determine the correct syntax. I didn't know weather the line implied that every heart beat's true or if every heart beats true, as in just every heart beat of mine or everyone's heart beats true. Does anyone know...? I never found a straight answer

The price for Kelly will be astronomical. I have a bet with my brother over who will finish higher in the Brownlow, I backed Oliver he took Kelly and he probably has me beat. Imagine the price we would put on Oliver...

Why bother chasing a (soon to be) All Australian defender when we already have one. Put Tom McDonald back to the backline and instead of going after Lever go and get Patton/Lobb. Jetta OMac Frost Hibberd TMac Hunt Brayshaw Jones Vince Petracca Hogan Melksham Garlett Patton/Lobb Watts Gawn Oliver Viney Lewis Hannan Salem Tyson Looks ok to me... We have a good trade history with GWS, only think is it won't come cheap. Have to be realistic can't offer Pederson for either of them. Weideman and a late first round pick?

I had no idea May was indigenous. Is that ignorance on my behalf or a common mistake?

The 2 things I love most about Petracca are when he bursts from a pack how he doesn't drop the ball into his foot he throws it down, puts everything into it. And when he kicks a goal his whole face lights up, he smiles from the bottom of his soul it's awesome. Makes me smile

Fair enough, didn't know Ajax was a Greek warrior. You learn something everyday

Isn't Ajax toilet cleaner?

There was a great interview with Nev Jetta where he asked if having a gun ruxkman made his job as back pocket easier. Then asked Nev to answer some Twitter questions and started with one from gawndog11 "what's it like having the greatest ruxkman in the league in your team" Classic

Is that Hopper behind him? Wow...

I'm actually in Wahgunyah, so still Victorian but I love it here

What could possibly drag you to corowa?

I believe his parents live here

Heard from a source up here near corowa that has has signed with us for 4 years. Dunno if you can sign anything till you actually been traded. I choose to believe the source. Believe what you want just passing information on

Just trying to say that just because a kid has an injury doesn't mean he won't be any good. But having said that would you rather Judd or Hodge, still an impossible le decision if you ask me.

I wonder if an 18 year old Judd's shoulders would have worried us? Get on the Jager train!

I work with a relation of his and said his dad isnt that bad but I'll double check tomorrow. Said he wanted out for one reason, Buckley. Aparently the only player who likes Bucks is Pendles everyone else thinks he is a dick. He just built a house in Melbourne somewhere and his mum moved down here recently. As i said will double check but from what Ive been told the main reason is the senior coach.

Reports he has requested a trade fo QLD.
