Love The Age deal...its a ripper bonus isn't it..must be worth the price of membership alone.

Am I the only person to think that Maguire is not a walk up start into our starting 18? Even taking into account his injuries, I found him disappointing last year. I have him on the bench and Sam Fisher at CHB instead. Max, Gilbert, Goddard, Gram , S.Fisher and Baker/ Dempster/L.Fisher as the starti...

While we have topped up on some players in trade week and the additions of Schneider, Dempster and C.Gardiner are welcome and a good age (about 23yrs)....we have only a few young players who are likely to develop into really good players>>> Gilbert - is the standout and saving grace of recent drafti...

King, Hayes, Dal Santo, Harvey

our best ruckman, best ball winner, best user, most experienced legend and ball magnet

Good stuff St.Bot....one of the better footy articles I've read this year.

Couple of typos..."...they're are..." appears somewhere in the middle....give a couple of proof reads. Well Done B+.

Given all of the revelations about the extent of the drug culture at Weagles, in retrospect, maybe Sampi just couldn't abide it and had to get out (like Judd did in his own way)...maybe he would be worth looking at in the draft after all.

Eastern - I have Gram down as a walk up start in backline (or midfield if it comes to that) my ranking X.Clarke (please God let him stay fit) Fiora (huge confidence step lat year) Schneider (can go in middle) Milne(better goal sneak - but poor defensive game) Dempster(good tagger with huge hoof) Arm...

leaving aside the main midfield contingent ( Ball, Hayes, Dal Santo, Monty, Harvey, Baker) The following will be shooting out for the remaining midfiled and interchange spots...I include Schneider and Milne as they both need to run through the midfield to earn their keep. Who do you think will cemen...

I think the problem with Proud was his interviews and attitude....had all the attributes but terrible attitude apparently.

I like the look of Rance....(not that I've seen him, just on profiles)...fast defender. Masten won't be there at #9.

the only one I care about is: 2007 - 1966 = too bloody long!

go cats....nasty feeling Port will win though....will depend on Ling I reckon!

Ha ha ...what a huge mistake!

NDS is our second best player imo...he is the most skilful player in the team, has superb vision, can win his own ball, good tackler...what do people want?

Not overrated, apart from Roo who is better and more valuable to the team than Dal?

Very good post. I reckon in general people are very quick to focus on the negative,. There should be more than insincere grudging acknowledgement of RB and the current board....7 years RB gave to turning the club around....he took over when we were in dire straits and will leave the Club in a strong...

pick 9 and Gram?

Seriously think Sam Fisher deserved a spot...who was a more effective HBF than him this year?

listening to his press conference...very impressive bloke...wants to go to a Vic club that will be successful. With Fraser leaving, with a possible retirement of Hamill....could we make room in the TPP to accommodate him? If he was to nominate the Saints as his club of choice, who would we trade? Mi...

Good effort ringing him Bunington...at least you got it from the horses mouth. Did you ask about the drug and alcohol references? To me that was very ill thought out and was unnecessary to bring that into a debate that could be run purely on football related agendas. It has put me off the Westaway t...

Round 2 pick...Roosy owes us a decent trade given the reasonable terms we have let Hall go for in the past....also his carrying on about Hawthorn and Spider should weigh against him making too much fuss about Jolly wanting to go to his preferred club (especially Lyon being his best mate and all)

Joffaboy - "Dont question the loyalty of two of our great players" I haven't...no mention of N.Burke...he hasn't turned around within a week of playing and being paid by a club and been part of a ticket that has attacked the president and board with a smear campaign. No problem with a tick...

I must be naive. What is your picture of what is going on ? - is the president staggering around the club drunk, snorting coke off toilet seats....is this what we're meant to assume? I mean come on. It certainly doesn't seem that bad from here...another million dollar profit and we blew a finals cha...

I say fair enough if he made that stand while he was a player...happily accepting his pay cheque, saw there was something wrong and opposed it....or a couple of years later, when he had some perspective....but when you go within a week from receiving from the administration to attacking the administ...

Hardly has the ink set on Andrew Thomson's resignation than he's part of a ticket that is setting about trying to shame the current board into rolling over... The current board, Andrew, that would have green lighted giving you an extra year, the same board that made sure you contract was honoured, t...

Jeff, I'm making reference to the pious way in which Westaway's ticket was implying that alcohol and drug use by the current board was a bad example for the players....I'm questioning what kind of example he is setting by bringing whatever "rumours and innuendos" that may have existed in t...
