pretty sure none of the emergencies would sneeze at a weekend on the gold coast either...

the problem isn't with the umps tho, it's the MRP. overhaul req'd/

isn't he only 21? lyon can change lazy, and i wouldn't mind a flashy HF

i hope he's playing, wouldn't want to go interstate (even to gold coast) without roo and fisher, it is a must win.

Throw the kitchen sink at recruiting Dangerfield - Now that Craig is gone he looks to want out. Love to have Dangerfield. The Cats look to be in the box seat, and that's even if he goes. It was be unreal if we got him though! bloody cats, just what we need - them getting better. Old Mate above ment...

and we already sacked their coach from 1997

or perhaps neither.

how on earth did you figure that out?

yeah, don't have a problem with BJ going forward, if ever we don't desparately need him on the HB line it will be this week. remember when he kicked 4 in a first quarter last year after nick went down?

but we did finish below west coast, the other debutant (including an 88 point loss to them in round 22). and plugger only managed a measly 117 goals and a brownlow so couldn't drag us above 10th.

(richmond finished below brisbane )

no.

and only upredictable if we kick it to someone other than milney once in a while.

haha, hutchy is laregly useless. hun blood flows in his veins.

roo got only 1 point for the intent side of things, and maximum of 3 points for the height of the contact (head) and the impact (broken cheekbone). as far as the rules go, you can't argue with that. the argument is with the rules, which need an overhaul. i recall with the joel corey sling tackle on ...

btw, do you forfeit the good behaviour discount if you challenge?

So we'ld have to bring in Gardiner? Or Blake? Or Archer?

I don't honestly know what we should do....

lynch is fit isn't he?

a 5 goal win should tip us over sydney's percentage.

the round 22 game is shaping as the mother of all 8 point games though...

i hate games where we are on a hiding to nothing. 8+ goal win would be nice to keep the % buoyant

dons got williams + picks 24 & 33, gave up jay nash + picks 16 & 42

see the "trades" table here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2009_AFL_Draft

The main problem I can see is that the AFL are starting the two new clubs too close together. There should have been three or four years between them, not consecetive years. The first clubs draft debacle would be over before the second club was involved, instead of which we have the situation where...

Hope he adds as much to the classic lines of AFL sledging as Powell. I still smile at his eloquence when addressing Cameron ling. -Yes he indeed got what he deserved. One of the greatest sledges of all time :) Out of interest...find the footage of the Saints game a few weeks back VS Port when Riewo...

magnificent grab.

and i hate essendon much more than i hate carlton, so all good.

saw a few posts about 2012 - while i'd love a tilt deep into the finals (e.g. a prelim or obvious the GF), a shorter season than we've had for the last 3 or 4 years could be a big factor for 2012, enabling a rest and then an earlier pre-season than the recent usual.
