Of course we do. The club has done well to keep it low profile all along.

I'm happy letting everyone know that we wont match it...
As long as we actually would match it. No one can tell me that there are 38 kids in the draft better than Ben. If he wasn't a F/S (and thus other clubs put minimum time into him), and he didn't get iced at the end of the year he would go around pick 20 IMO.

It’s also not like players are who they are when they come to the club. Development and self improvement play a big part in how good a player becomes
Exactly, and, that we would (IF he progresses well) go hard to bring him ‘home to the blues family’ after a couple of years… so bidder would just develop him for us
Edit: that said, I’d still look at trading up with Bris or * picks around 28-30

Normal for us
Speaking of normal.
Any chance we change the Rumour no discussion heading back to Yellow?

We don't have a choice of colour, only tags. To change it back to yellow, we'd have to use the same tag as the discussion thread, and have posters constantly post in there.
It's a conundrum alright.

does moderator compensation make up for the sheer time and effort you have to put into these issues?
Is this a more subtle way of addressing the thread title that triggers me each time I see it.
The word is normality.
Normalcy has apparently emanated from the US, but hey the English language has utilised the word normality for eons.

Of all the things to get irked by - and I do confess, I get irritated by no end of Americanisms that have found their way into colloquial Australian english - a mistake made by an American presidential candidate in the 1920's because he couldn't find the world normality in the dictionary is a bit of an odd one.
Words and meanings shift. Signs change, and the meanings behind them shift. It's as relentless as the tides, and there's no stopping it.
And - in any case - this isn't really the thread to be discussing etymology or semiotics.

The payment comes AFTER you incriminate yourself and we have something on you so you can't leave, and we have branded you with the BigFooty logo.

Would you want it any other way? This place has probably saved my life on several occasions. It makes me feel “normal”.“A return to normalcy.”
