Going full grammar Nazi here, but maybe the number of spelling errors is indicative of you typing at an excessive rush - I should know I do it all the time because I am an officially diagnosed manic (right now making a concerted effort not to rush my typing!) - but might I suggest in all honesty...

This.

It may be nostalgia/Blues bias, and it may also turn on whether you pick absolute peak or over several years (say the injury free ones). If you are talking absolute peak Kouta's 20 games in 2000 eclipses anything I have ever seen - and that was predominantly ground level. So no help on Haydn...

Agree with all that you say except: 1. JUDD WAS A LEADER. By definition a leader is one who others follow and that was Judd to a tee. Made others change the way they went about it because they copied what he did, he was a fundamental instrument of change for the better; and 2. Judd may be the...

Welcome back to the present. I myself have just returned from my own time travel experience, but I preferred to go back to 1979 and stay a few years. Like so many at Carlton, living in the past, but what a past. Tried nobbling Percy before the 1980 season and grabbing Parko instead but it...

Motlop's explosive pace??? Fair dinkum, that's about as accurate as "the high-flying Marc Murphy".

Yes, just went over to the Collingwood board and found out. Anyone able to recommend a strong disinfectant?

Which Daicos?

May her endeavours prove fruitful.

NW & GT Huxtable both sons of Eric "Untouchable" Huxtable the nemesis of Haydn Bunton. Blueseum only presumes that they are Eric's sons, but I had the pleasure of meeting Eric's daughter many years ago and she confirmed that they were her brothers.

Maybe confusing my Coopers?

That is my understanding.

Great to hear, because he has more x-factor than anyone on the list.

Great man Buzz. I had the pleasure of working with him some years ago, I often used to call from home after work given the time difference to Perth and when he cottoned on to this he would start every discussion with asking if my then primary school age daughter was around and if so they'd talk...

By my understanding the Blues have signed 23 VFL players now, so why not pick a 23? Hogg (son of Matty - same type) Lloyd 192cm Rebels def Lewis 192 def returning Ramshaw 181/85 def returning Phillips 197 KD ex Hawks AFL class Vickery...

I will not have you sullying the good name of Pater Bosustow in such manner.

True, but it was clear in his 2 cameos last year he didn't have the tank for a full game in the firsts even in that forward role.

Absent second year blues, only thing that will stop him is having AFL level endurance.

Amongst all of this a couple of things strike me. The first is the need for speed - not necessarily blistering pace like Wilson but better than average pace. Brings Cincotta, Cottrell, Durdin, Williams and Wilson into the picture although all have different question marks on them and Cincotta...

Have you seen him in a game? You are describing the very definition of "train as you play". Just joking, I am a fan of big Durds if he can get his body right but unfortunately that is a HUGE if.

Tend to agree, but Peterson has to be given first crack at CHB unless her body lets her down. Good third in the B&F isn't likely to be out of the side and I agree Celine Moody is clearly third cab off the rank at the moment. I think Bohanna is a great get for us especially at the price and...

Or Sam Rowe

Went to the AFLW B&F tonight, very enjoyable evening. The approachability of the players is fantastic and their clear appreciation of the supporters sensational. By way of example, at least a half dozen players asked about the whereabouts of my 2 1/2 yo grandson who is always at the games with...

Well I haven't tried to quantify where and how much various discounts should be, but that is a matter that analytical data should inform much as the draft points for each pick aren't just done by gut feel but by crunching the numbers over what is now a fairly decent sample size. But something...

Jimmy or his son Dylan - or is it Stephen or his brother Mark? Or their father Brian? Though as he has been dead over a decade now probably not. I doubt you mean Brian's Dad Jack who (apart from having last played in 1929) is almost certainly no longer with us and more importantly played for...

Was a wonderful player, unlucky not to be a Brownlow medallist, he was a top flight player in a team of champions who could hold his own with any of them - well maybe not Jezza or Big Nick, but that would be it.

Not a bad stab at it, what is clear is that there are a lot a players in the mix for the last half dozen spots or so. There seems to me to be only 10 or so locks that everyone has in, plus a couple more who almost everyone has in. But about half the team have a genuine competitor for their...

Really to what part? Not being defensive, just want to know.

Frank the tank is the prospective Owies replacement. Good overheard, good goal sense and works hard to win the ball or lock it in the forward line. Still, passed over by both Geelong and Port even though he played more games than not last year suggests not a lot of upside.

It's not about rewarding the club with the quality of player, it's rewarding the player (son/daughter) with the chance to play for their father's club and in that sense longevity should matter. It is another question whether that should only be games played or whether years on the list should...
