Certainly another ruck prospect would be good.

I'm sorry if you think I was lumping everything into a category. It was more a comment on how everything around here eventually degenerates into this common point of contention: everything is/was well, or we're all rooned. I fall into neither category too. Good to see many aren't as black and white,...

It seems like, particularly on here, there seems to be two distinct groups of supporters, and almost every thread degenerates into a basic argument over these core beliefs. In one corner, you have a group of people who, for want of a better term, cherish what has gone on in the last three years. The...

I liked the way we played in the 2010 version.

The AFL has been quite clear that the front of our traditional jumper with a white back is not satisfactory.

Personally, I thought the 2009-2010 clash was ideal.

It would be Stephen Milne.

Here's your movement:

Peake, Polo, Dempster, Ray & Clarke re-signed.

Dawson gone.

Blake to be delisted as he is currently a veteran listed player, but to be re-drafted onto primary list.

I think we can walk and chew gum at the same time.

PS - looked good on the 9 News there Jigging Saint!

He was one of my wife's best friend's grandfather. RIP.

My understanding is that Dempster, Ray and Peake have all either re-signed or agreed to re-sign.

Polo and Clarke would surely know that as far as they are concerned, we are the only game in town.

Reports don't look good regarding Zac Dawson, but things have been quiet for a few days.

I would have to think we'd be looking at a mature age recruit in that position at some stage in the draft.

We have eight picks in five rounds. First six are in the first four rounds.

Seven open spots sounds a lot like six draft picks and a rookie elevation.

As someone involved with amateur football, the converse is true. Wondeful for getting to a lot of games, and making the reserved seat worthwhile.

We have the devils run - 6-6-6

Happened in 2006 as well (Monday-Sunday-Saturday-Friday)

What happened in those games?

Port Adelaide beat us by scoring every time they went inside 50

Sirengate

Kosi fractured skull

Banger's record breaking game (which we lost)

You can guarantee one thing about a home game against the Gold Coast (or any of the teams from the Northern states): it won't be a Sunday twilight game.

Adelaide, Melbourne, Sydney and North Melbourne are getting GWS twice. Essendon, Carlton, Collingwood, Geelong, Hawthorn, West Coast and St Kilda are not. Brisbane will get GC twice. Adelaide, Melbourne, Sydney, North Melbourne, Carlton, Collingwood, Geelong, Hawthorn & West Coast will not. That...

Geelong & Sydney round robin Round 1 NAB Cup Feb 24 @ Etihad.

Essendon Round 2 @ Wangaratta.

West Coast Round 3 @ Paterson Stadium.

Cripps and Johnson debuted Round 6 (game 5), and Siposs in Round 7 (game 6).

I think Ross decided to play them after the Brisbane game.

I think you'll find it would have been Dean Polo who would have suffered because of the presence of Lenny Hayes.

I would think if we get GWS away in Round 21, we would get GC at home much earlier in the season. I don't like Sunday Twilight, but at least I can get to the game, as opposed to Saturday afternoon (and to a lesser extent Saturday twilight). Round 1 overall looks like this: Sat 24/3 - GWS v Syd - ANZ...

As long as the AFL adequately compensates the club, which I believe will begin to happen in 2012, then just ignore the barbs from the MCG clubs' supporters and continue knocking them off at the Dome.

The four rookies plus Polo, Peake, Ray, Dawson, Clarke equals nine.

There is some conjecture about Heyne, Smith & Cahill having a year to go on contracts, and also whether Jones, Blake and Dempster have already re-signed.

Well, it would be nice, considering the round robin nature. I could stand only thirty minutes of feeling like what the real Dees did when they played Geelong last year...

... but it's my first son's baptism on Sunday.

So good luck lads, and more importantly, have a really enjoyable time.

As I have said previously, would be keen to have a kick as long as it didn't involve playing Melbourne. That is just torture.
