I think they will be working on one who has just had a season off. Don't need another.

Welcome to TMO (the man of) Steele.
Let's hope his career with us can match our other Canberran, Lenny

Richo has made comments in the past about personality/character being as important as ability. I'd be disappointed if we missed a good kid were this to happen.

Apart from appearance will the quality be as good. I have had a good run out of my ISC jackets and tee shirts.

A different thought. Who could we trade to either the GWS or GCS for a couple of their picks? I think they have about eleven picks between them under about 28.

If we act reasonably conservatively this year and manage to make the eight in 2017 then that should surely make us a more attractive destination and we should also have a better understanding of the guns out there that we really need. Our forwards and backs could make extraordinary steps in the next...

Thank you Jaxons for you comments. I feel we have moved from the old 'bottom six' to a situation where most of our young players are above this class and are pressing for senior positions if there were enough to go round. Trouble is we don't know yet how good they can be, think of Tom Lynch now at A...

Jaxons has just said that billings is a long way short of the potential he showed as a junior.

While people will more probably recognise a change from a poor Betts to a really good Betts. The odds of a Billings following a Ball seems to becoming more likely. If so I would expect a breakout year to follow. I do so hope I am wrong.

The Abbott like behaviour with the woman in the restaurant was enough for me to forever discount him. We as a club have moved well beyond this.

We want players who will come to love being at the Club. When Nick finally retires Jack might get pretty lonely.

Billy Longer was first named best player in the final against port. Surely he should be a keeper?

Murdoch would be good

I'm sorry Con, but it appeared to me that all St Byron was implying was that it is wrong that GWS can actually do this. Not that you were wrong.

With all the carry on about cheats at the Olympics still the whole business just washes over them.

I thought we traded our 2016 second round pick last year?

I've gone right off the idea after this years experience. Perhaps we could trade Freeman for him, he was a No 10 pick. The panel did well picking Gresham and I would much prefer another with his potential to the uncertainty. Even if JOM is okay, and we cannot be sure, the Lions are going to talk him...

Hope there is no similarity with Ball's drop in form leading to a move to Collingwood

What would the betting odds be for a 10 goal win by the Swans at half time? Decisions, and the many more non-decisions, by all the umpires had an incredible influence on the game and needs to be investigated. Why would they risk their jobs on the big stage? Surely not out of spite and surely not due...

I heard the thing about metres gained and easy possessions. Also, wasn't there a personality issue related to his captaincy?

The umpiring is killing us

Jack Newnes!

Second that

Armo was another who took a long time to establish himself as a regular player.

Free kicks paid, free kicks not paid, where on the ground they are paid, at what stage of the match are they paid and to which players are they paid or not paid. Which way is the wind blowing, frees into the wind, with the wind (doesn't really matter to us at Etihad) This is all far to open to inter...
