Left Foot Snap

Interesting!!!

The advantage of elevating and using the rookie draft instead of the really high draft picks to complete the list is that you can get rid of a rookie after one year. A Nat Draft pick has to retained for 2. I think Wagner has shown enough to suggest he could be worth a 2 yr contract as opposed to a highly speculative pick. White I am not so sure of. I would probably retain for another year as a rookie.

I thought West Coast got him for pick 88.

How about Tom Scully. Scull is a type of boat - Knife is pretty self explanatory

Great, not another bl--dy Jack Watts thread (on a serious note - couldn't be happier for the boy and hope his improvement continues)

I really don't have a good feeling about the salary caps at those 2 (and other) clubs. I smell a rat and have a feeling in my bones that it will be a story in the future. I think, and it is only my thoughts, that they have found a loophole in the system. I don't buy that so many senior players have taken pay cuts at Hawthorn for example. Its a nice story but I think its more likely that they have been switched to alternate payment methods. You wouldn't do that with a new recruit, only those you know and trust ie: players that have been in the club for a while. It reminds me of years ago when a Richmond player took the club to task after his promised 'no loose investments" didn't return what they where meant to and they where used as part of the agreement to him to sign.

I would like to see him move into the midfield. I think that is his position and he will flourish with a greater workload and responsibility.

Makes me happy, I would keep him anyway. He offers a lot more cover and versatility to us than the paltry return we would get for him. And lets not forget how well he plays in a contract renewal year. Why waste that :).

That is a big celery.

I hadn't heard of them as a clothing company and assumed the Tobacco advertising laws still applied. Thanks for the info.

If someone doesn't mind answering a stupid question from an interstater, what is the relevance of the Peter Jackson VFL naming? Is it a company/sponsor or an old VFL stalwart etc?

I agree, something doesn't smell right.

Harsh. You made me spill my chamomile tea.....

Agree DD. Viney oozes leadership. I have ever seen him speak where I doubted his intelligence. We should never confuse drive and single mindness with simple minded. Jack is not simple. He is focussed. When you lead your message doesn't have to be complex. It needs to be uderstood. As Jack gets older he will naturally speak with more wisdom, but he will already have his teammates following him.

Well that is the point of the movie.

I'm not for a minute suggesting he was ruckman size, but I always thought Pike was a bit bigger than that. Surprised me to see the 189cm. I guess that explains his 'short man syndrome' antics.

Bitters, no offence intended but have you ever seen the movie Leon The Pig Farmer. I love your posts but you remind me so much of this movie.

I'd like to see him move into the midfield. I'd give him go as a tag on Mitchell for periods this week to get him ready for next year. But then, I waited patiently for Daniel Bell to not become a midfielder.

Spencer is contracted.

Thanks Rev. We have to run to meet our tour guide now but ill look up those when we get back. Definitely not western style bars thiugh. Walked into the Ned Kelly bar in Hong Kong, and straight out again shaking heads. Rusty, the way will be catching up on the replays when we get back. Fkew out monday so looking forward to catching that win too.

Believe it or not Rev, I am. Arrived yesterday and we are walking the wall for the next two days. Zero chance of my wife agreeing to me watching footy though while here. Would love a bar suggestion though.

Killer heat and humidity in Qatar. Were the championships held in a purpose built airconditioed indoor beach stadium?

I always thought it was Nev. Or Neville if he has done something wrong...

Glad to see Bugg that high up in the votes too. Strange week - big win and no Viney, Jones or Gawn.

Clarry Choo - would be the best Asian player in the league within a few years. (love me some Clayton - never seen a player so young with such poise while in the hard stuff). Its a gift to watch.
