Westaway was not very impressive tonight. Basically all questions were handballed to Archie who gobbled them up. The only question he attempted to answer was the one about "would the club be consulting members about an expansion to 18 teams". Westaway mumbled a vague response. Then Ross L...

Unfortunately this is true, although he actually passed away early last week, I believe.

Kingy was a nice bloke...and a larger than life character!

He will be sadly missed by a lot of people, particularly in the football and golfing circles.

JB actually rated them as they fell - Hodge, Ball, Judd.

The query on Judd's shoulders was a factor.

And yes, Butters would have liked us to draft Judd, for the aforementioned reasons.
