Pinball Wizard

We played Port Adelaide at the MCG in Round 1, 2013 and were humiliated. I’m not talking about revenge but it’s time to put them in their place.

People have been asking that the thread be closed from as far back as page 2. Probably a good thing the mods didn’t listen back then.

Tony Sheahan also reporting that Collingwood is working to secure May and also looking at a deal for Beams.

Also beat the Cats last week in the VFL and if Box Hill wins today then we play them in the Prelim next week. First the Cats and then the Hawks, both in the National and the State comp.

Keep it coming

Those two picks might turn out to be champions or they might have fathers who weigh more than 200kg. You can't walk out on us now.

One of those Under 16's picked up Voldemort last night and even tackled him one or two times. Things are going well out there at Bleaktown.

OK but I would prefer we're given until at least Wednesday because I'm doing something on Tuesday.

NSW/ACT SCHOLARSHIP-HOLDERS Adelaide: Sam Martyn Bris Lions: James Brain, Jack Lawson Collingwood: Scott Reed, Nick Perry, Thomas Young Carlton: Joshua Fenaroli, Jake Pianta Essendon: Benjamin Simon, James Webster Fremantle: Matthew Long, Max Wilson Geelong: Kale Temple, Ranga Ediriwickrama Hawthorn: Michael Johnston, William Sierakowski, Trent Stubbs, Thomas Kickett Melbourne: Teddy Strudwick Port Adelaide: Jordan Johns N Melb: Lachlan Pryor Richmond: Harrison Lee St Kilda: Joshua Duncan, Kane Murphy, Blake McGrath Sydney: Ryan Bottin-Noonan, Jay Lewis, Matt May West Coast: Anthony Stubbs Western Bulldogs: Braedon Jones, Chris Ogle, Daniel Lloyd I notice that we are one of the few clubs that has only one scholarship holder on its books and that Strudwick didn't even make the cut off for the NSW team for the championships. Another good example of our recruiting capabilities over the past few years.

I don't think Melbourne embraced the whole NSW scholarship thing under CAC and now that there's going to be another team in Sydney I doubt whether it's going to last much longer. Some other clubs already have NSW players on their lists while others have players who are doing well at the Under 18 championships. It looks like another area like overseas recruiting where we've missed the boat because we don't have the finances, the imagination or both to get involved.
