FFS tell me when the Geelong circle jerk is finished so we can talk HAWTHORN again.

The "opportunity" of playing in an era where 'chopping the arms' free kicks didn't even exist?

People are sleeping on Mraz. He is already a better player than Blanck with less than one injury-interrupted year under his belt. 198cm tall, just needs to bulk up a bit over the next 2 pre-seasons to be ready to take the Thilthorpe types. If a club comes knocking for Blanck with an offer we...

Geelong had 9 in the team in 2007 - Scarlett, Egan, Mulburn, Bartel, Johnson, Mooney, GAJ, Corey and Ling.

Nah, it was the Dogs that had the bad timing match. Demons will be drained after an awesome effort that fell just short. Hawks by 6 goals.

'Love' must be their codename for cocaine or some other party drug

I know he's been very good and his usual model of consistency recently, but hear me out... BMac out Morrisson to Sub Chol back in to play his normal Fwd/Ruck role Lewis plays wing

Gotta be Nicks or McRae this year surely.

Butters contract will almost be as big as Reid's ... but at least you know the peak you will get where Reid is still somewhat of an unknown. The difference in price is that Butters will be cheaper in trade. Merrett would be cheaper again as you say due to his age. He is down the pecking order...

Opening play expectations: Meek tap to Newk, handball to Day, spearing kick to Lewis on the lead, Goal. Percentage booster incoming.

It is probably that crazy '2 year deal with an open option for +9 years' He takes the 2 years then if things still look dire he says goodbye and moves to his farm. Honestly, at the price it is likely to be, I'd much rather have Butters.

It is us and Adelaide. They have a good young core too, and shouldn't lose too much from their older guys going over the next year or two (Tex, Smith, etc). Everyone else is either at their peak now (Brisbane, Freo), or on the way down from their peak (Collingwood, Geelong). Suns are also...

With the emergence of Ward, the return of Day, and the continued performance of Nash, he is slowly becoming surplus to our needs. I'd love to keep him, and it sounds like we have made a reasonable offer, but I won't begrudge him if we wants to go for a higher/longer contract.

Does it have a custom smaller sized handle?

Lewis never had, and never will have, the agility of Buddy or Roughy. What he does have is better endurance than all of the players you named.

I love Newk, but would do that direct swap in 0.01 seconds if offered.

When we win a flag over the next few years, we need him to replace the bloke awarding the premiership medallions after the game. Number twenty three... Joe Webbles

They'll do a clean out at the end of this year. They have to. If they don't pull a Richmond in this year's and next year's drafts, they will be the club at the bottom of the ladder as Tassie comes through and sucks up the draft talent. TDK, Walsh & McKay - Those three players alone would bring...

This is 100% correct. But Weddle is also one of the fittest players in our team. Even at only 70-80% fitness he's probably going to run out a game better than Barrass or Sicily (as an example). As long as his condition has resolved he's one of the few players who I'd be less concerned about...

Should be the closest game of the round. Tipping Hawks in a close game but could easily go either way.

Cripps is perfectly fine defensively. He's 17th in the league for average tackles per game (Nash =15th, Newcombe 18th).

Weddle out. Might need to change my tip from 'Hawks by 50' to 'Hawks by 20'

Weddle out, Sic in Lets be honest, compared to some teams we have had a decent run with injuries this year. You expect things like this to happen, that is why depth in the squad is so important. We have Sic to come in, plus Scrimshaw, Frost, Serong and Blanck are all AFL level capable. Bmac...

Watched the whole BH game. Stand outs to me from our AFL list were Dear, Anderson, Mraz and Reeves. Call out to Declase as well who was awesome and probably BOG. Maginness and HH were good as well, but I still have concerns of how their games translate to AFL (disposal efficiency and leg speed...

No ideal for Weddle if true! But would mean we can bring Sic back in without disrupting the team structure too much.

His last month has been just ok, but he was pushing AA level over the first part of the season. According to the AFL 'ratings' he is 31st in the league, 4th for rucks (behind Xerri, Gawn and Jackson).

It is funny - other than Walsh and some truly untested youth (e.g. Jagga Smith), I don't think there is anybody on Carlton's list I would actually want at our club. Sure, Cripps is a star and would displace one of our current mids (Nash) for 1-2 years, but his best is past him. We don't need...
