Brisbane are also locked in for Easter Thursday for the next few years.

It's a negotiating tactic.

We have the best advantage at Etihad.

J-Pod is 30 years old.

Actual journo using that term. Can I just challenge this drongo for his job?

Dingbat.

Let's deconstruct this collection of words. "CARLTON could mount an audacious poaching bid in attempts to lure tough St Kilda on-baller Brendon Goddard away from the Saints. (Suggestion - no source) Goddard, 26, is contracted to the Saints for next season. (Fact - need more of these) But he cou...

How unequivocal do you need to be to satisfy the media? How unequivocal do you need in order to be believed? Example: "There's more chance of me becoming the full-forward for the Dogs (Western Bulldogs AFL team) than there is any chance of a change in the Labor party." Julia Gillard, 16 Ma...

I just hope the players aren't stewing on that point the way some supporters are. A number of St Kilda players missed goals they should have kicked, and the game could have been over a 3/4 time.

The only premiership that matters now is the next one.

And for that, everyone is now 0-0.

The article also mentions culture, which is code for saying "I don't understand why St Kilda never win, and don't see the world in the many shades of grey which it is, so I'll use a lazy, childish umbrella term". The piece has no credibility, and anything factual is tells us (unlike the We...

This happened, then this happened, then this happened.

No insight, mispelling and factual errors.

Next.

Basically, this is an order the list exercise. Untouchables? Siposs, Steven, McEvoy, Hayes, Montagna, Riewoldt, Schneider, Goddard, Fisher, Dal Santo, Gwilt, Milne, Cripps, Ledger. We've also just re-signed Winmar, Gilbert, Armitage and Simpkin, so cross them off the list. Crocker still has a year t...

Frawley Hudghton Barker
A Jones S Fisher Goddard
Dal Santo Hayes McAdam
Winmar Loewe Riewoldt
Gehrig Lockett Milne
Everitt Harvey Burke
Grant Ball Baker Thompson

Williams, Cameron, Harvey, Eade, Watters, Hinkley, Tudor, Richardson, Walsh & Sumich.

It's hogwash. Someone who is in a tough negotiation is probably talking to journos in order to try and get the club to move someone so their client can get more money. The club will have a large number of players on its list next year in their first two years of football, which will ease pressure. A...

I think I did better.

But kudos for trying. It's a huge effort, and after doing it for a number of years, it keeps getting tougher and I always make a mistake or two.

IIRC, the Troy Schwarze goal v Brisbane was on Channel 10, as was the 2002 draw v Sydney and the Harvey game (QF v Adel 2005).

They could have done better.

Eade at a GF lunch today said he was about to interview for the job.

Position far from filled.

Dempster Dawson Gilbert
Geary Fisher Goddard
Dal Santo Steven Montagna
Ray Stanley Schneider
Milne Riewoldt Siposs
McEvoy Hayes Jones
Armitage Koschitzke Winmar (Cripps)

Schneider and Dempster were both salary cap casualties. Recycled is the most subjective term in footy. King and C Gardiner would have been delisted, and were picked up with a pick that was never going to be used. But as they were traded for... What about Jason Gram? Gone from Brisbane because they d...

The nine-point goal will make the game less attractive, as it will make the one-point behind and the zero-point kicking-it-out-of-bounds more likely. Speaking of equalisation, here's the bit from Jake Niall's piece in today's Cnr of Spencer and Collins St Soviet that pleased me. Our president is quo...

He's an excuse maker. All he does at press conferences after losing is list excuses.

No thanks.

The plan would go a long way into turning us into Port Adelaide.

Clubs are made up of people.

Teams are made up of talented people.

Some team members bring more than just their talent.

Other people outside their team post the same garbage over and over again, sometimes under different pseudonyms.

At the risk of sounding abusive ... yes, you are right.

He'd know more than you.

Just for the record, I'm The Punter because I look like Ricky Ponting, not because I bet a lot.

Although I'm sure I have a sure thing multi on the Brownlow.

PM! PM! PM!

If we trade players out of the club, we should use them to move up in the draft rather than stockpile draft picks. With 19 picks before our first one, we should be using any trades to move our picks as early as possible in the draft.
