How are we like Geelong, Hawks or Pies though? They all have premiership medallions, makes it an easier sell I would of thought. We're either not in contention and have the money to spend, or in contention and need Brendon. Do we spend big money on stars and then have a weak bottom 6? I believe tha...

If Stringer is available, he looks too good an opportunity to pass up.... people like Selwwod and judd were considered no. 1 until injuries, and in hindsight they should have been no. 1 despite injuries Stringer seems likely the same type... getting a pavlich type is simply invaluable and too good ...

If the original Bigfooty post is true then I'm happy at the management of the situation. If we want a premiership winning team we need to reward our players well ($475k is nothing to sneeze at) but also have the money to afford players of a higher standard overall. From what I understand Kosi and Gr...

Perhaps he's faster than what we give him credit? Maybe he's out to prove the doubters wrong??

I thought I'd start the annual Chris Knights rumour based on this article. http://www.theaustralian.com.au/sport/afl/free-agent-chris-knights-leaves-crows/story-fnca0u4y-1226481370909 Free agent who wants to leave. Injury prone? Is 26, too old for where we're at? Can turn it on. Maybe he needs a cha...

I would not let go of Cripps but would tentatively trade ledger for good compo. Apparently Salopek has quit Port which will no doubt increase his speculation that he'll move to St Kilda because he barracked for them as a kid. http://www.smh.com.au/afl/afl-news/salopek-quits-port-adelaide-20120924-26...

We just need someone taller than 189cm to contest the ruck if Ben goes down. Kosi is not an option and Stanley looks to be filling a role structurally down forward with the odd pinch hit in the ruck. Hickey is still raw but has shown promise enough to fill that role. With games and maturity, he'll b...

Loyalty and another scarf

[/quote] I thought Brendon goddard was over hyped for the first 3 or 4 years, Adam Cooney took a couple, Half of Geelongs legendary GF barnstormers looked like they might be fairly ordinary early on. There is a danger in calling them early.[/quote] In my original thread I stated that his potential i...

Am not sure sure about Caddy. He's promised a lot but delivered little. Granted he's only just starting his career but I feel that some think he's a lot better then his actually is. His potential, well that's speculative but he hasn't started his career like some of the gun midfielders in the compe...

Broughton rumour - there's a new one. A possession accumulating half back that gets killed under Rossy for playing a tight tag. Not his style - probably hating his footy? Relatively young and can play mid. Did you just make this rumour up or is there something behind it? Because I can't see him wan...

I thought the news on Gumbleton is that he's been offered one year from Essendon but is not making any decisions until he returns from holiday. Am not sure sure about Caddy. He's promised a lot but delivered little. Granted he's only just starting his career but I feel that some think he's a lot bet...

Re Armo: My understanding is that his home is Mackay in Nq. His family is still there and this is where he goes in the off season. He relocated to bris and stayed with Gavin urquarts family for footy reasons only and this may have only been for a few years. IMO he is more of a local now of Seaford t...

12 months ago we may have been a chance to nab Bellchambers but not now. He'll be a very good player for them. I haven't seen much of Chaplin play but port have had a few goals kicked against them since he's been there (not entirely his fault of course). Is he really that good to be on everyones wis...

Any news?

I love Lenny

Massive man crush - what a champ

Great conditions ATM. Too warm for dew. Radar clear for time being

It has been sunny for most of the day with periods of being overcast. The great drainage at the Gabba should mean that it will start as a dry track. There is nothing on the radar coming the way of the ground also

I thought his nickname was 'Stevens'. A lot of people call him that

Rhys had an ice pack on his left hammy at 3/4 Time. Lets hope its just precautionary !!

I didn't see that, yes I hope it's just a part of his injury management?? Was it his left that went on him v wce?

a few years back i brought a saints jumper with armos number on it such was my faith in him becoming a champ and i walked up to him after the practice match and asked him to sign my jumper. He said thats fine and when i turned around to let him sign it he almost fell over and said your the first bl...

rhys is injured? I thought he was off maybe because of a match fitness/hammy management thing. What did he do?

I got a text from someone this week saying that he saw Hinkley in a bakery near his work. He said that Ablett has done his PCL and i should trade him from my DT/SC. He will be named on Thursday but will not line up. I replied "you've got a job, that's mental". True story i kid you not. I'...
