Tapscott was literally built like a brick shithouse in that he couldn't move. Oliver is built like a brick shithouse with jet engines attached to it.

Australia are dominating after the opening day of the first test against NZ. Warner (163) and Khawaja (102*) both made hundreds while Burns (71*) contributed a handy fifty in his first knock as test opener. Steve Smith (41*) and Khawaja are now at the crease and look set for a big second day.

We just need to pick up Lovett and all of a sudden it's 1995 again.

Wow that was unexpected! Didn't even realise the category B rookie list was a thing until now. Anyways, welcome Joel!

There is something to work with there... I hope Goodwin and co can bring that out on a more consistent basis. Welcome Melksham!

Sad thing is that I think even Dean Gore was given a highlights reel...

Jesus Christ I hope so! Pick 25 for Melksham is way overs. Hopefully we can pick up a third rounder to use on Bugg.

As it's been stated that it's a fairly weak draft after the first 20 odd picks, I wouldn't be surprised it the value of draft picks may've lessened a tad. Either way, welcome aboard MIlkshake!

If we're unable to find an A grader to trade our first pick on, then I'd be happy to take it into the draft. Although it's a shallower draft than previous years there's still plenty of talent that'll be recruited in the first 15-20 picks.

So....how about that Jesse Hogan? Wow wee!

I can't resist asking as well if you have the time. Cheers Adam.

This is why next year is so important. We must continue to improve next year so we can start appearing as a suitable destination club for players.

Not really enthused on Matt Crouch to be honest. A great clearance player but his kicking ability is down there with the Terlichs and Bails of the footy world.

Roos is pure class. Can't believe people are emailing him over a trade that hasn't even happened yet. Although I'm not sold on Melksham, if we get him for a reasonable deal (3rd round pick, maybe an exchange with Howe) then I don't see any problems with it. With guys like Trengove, Petracca, Frost and Kent (plus hopefully a Prestia) pushing for selection next year Melksham way not even be in our best 22. With Melksham, we are trading for depth, not starting 22 players.

If we are "interested", I hope we get him for basically nothing. Can't see him in our best 22 anyway with guys like Petracca, Trengove, Kent and Frost coming back.

What makes it even better is that Carlton is one of those clubs now "interested".

Bizarre....I'm sure the football department know what they're doing....but still......

Give him money. Lots of it.

Seems we're preparing for the likely departure of Howe and maybe Garland. I like the idea of Plowman. Another skilful GWS player who's been riddled with injury. Wonder if we could package him up with Tomlinson?

TMac is a key position player who'll lead our defence for the next decade. We keep him.

Don't mind Bell either. He's a big bodied midfielder who can rack up 25 odd touches a game. Knows how to kick a goal as well. He's basically the player Tapscott should've become.

Whenever he decides he wants more cashola.

I've just gone through some of his highlights this year. 39 goals (with three games to go) from a key forward in his first year is an incredible feat. I love that after he kicks a goal in most cases, he acknowledges the player who delivered it to him.

Warner is gone. Silly shot.
