    Kouta on Charlie... “You might be lucky to get one in a decade, although I need to be careful as I don’t want to put too much pressure on him, particularly a guy like Charlie who’s just turned 21,” he says, before pausing a moment to collect his thoughts. “It’s unbelievable, when you think about...

    Rumour The Thread formerly known as the rumour file, now with zero rumours

    Not sure - pressed my mate further and what he's gleaned is he wants to stay but the Dogs are floating him as bait. Compounding the issue is rival clubs are also offering much better deals… Apprantely it will all come to a head on 3 October. But it’ll most likely be at Carlton, if not Geelong.

    Rumour The Thread formerly known as the rumour file, now with zero rumours

    Realise this sounds a bit dubious but... My (Bulldog-supporting) mate's cousin got engaged to Shaun Higgins on the weekend. Among what was discussed at the celebrations was that he's likely to be wearing navy blue next year.

    Anyone else's reaction more relief than disappointment? Let's be honest, we'd only had a tenuous grasp at best on this season before Saturday night. At least now we can focus on 2015, and show cause notices being issued to DUN DUN DUNNNN Essendon... http://www.footyalmanac.com.au/pull-the-plug/

    Toast Pick 11: Welcome to Carlton Troy Menzel

    If last night teaches us nothing else, it is that Menzel should never again wear the substitutes vest. I’m not usually a Malthouse critic, but his decision to start Menzel as the sub last week places him morally somewhere between a Rwandan gorilla poacher and a back-alley...

    Best 22 for 2014

    List Mgmt. Our List 2014 - Trade, De-list and Draft - (keep it all in here)

    I've watched Robbo exclusively for a quarter during a couple of games this year. Fair to say he has some pretty significant weaknesses in his game in terms of knowing what do do when he hasn't got the ball/is not in the play. Not a smart footballer. I wouldn't lose sleep were he to be traded.

    Plenty worse than Yarran against the Swans on Saturday night. Plenty. If it's the mental aspect of his game we need to get right, then add him to what is already an exhaustive list.

    Reading the 'trade Curnow' comments can only lead me to the assumption that actually watching a game is not a prerequisite to posting here.
