This would be the perfect year to change it around on Anzac Day. I am thinking a Geelong v hawthorn game would bring the crowds.

Odds on to spend most of the season sulking and avoiding contests. When the going gets tough, BJ does not get going.
I'm sure he'll be more than happy to provide leadership by pointing the top-ups toward the contest.
Speaking of which, I looked at the list of remaining Essendon players and Craig Bird appears to be about the closest thing they've got to an inside mid
You're correct, he is a moaning bastard.
That is an interesting post. Hope the AFL don't play on the 'fighting spirit' of the cheats. Might make an ANZAC choke on his...well, ANZAC.

Just on the Bombers top up players, I think they need leadership with pretty much their entire leadership group wiped out. I'd be looking at older players with at least 4 of the vacancies. Guys with decent AFL experience who are prepared to go around again. I'd enquire about James Kelly, Crowley, Jamar who were all delisted rather than retiring.

I saw $7 for no Bomber wins.I wouldn't want to cash in on someone else's misfortune but...
I could use the extra cash after they come after me on the Jobe medal win..

You're looking at this all wrong. ANZAC Day is one day of the year that I always barrack for the Bombers. Now imagine if they manage to pull together enough to play well enough to beat those Magpies.
I'd be rolling on the floor in laughter if Collywobble manage to be the only team to lose to this lot on one of the biggest footy occasions of the year.
Go Part-time Bombers, just for that game.
ANZAC day 2016.

Boom Port Adelaide recruit Charlie Dixon has suffered an apparent knee injury at training on Friday morning.

Far out.
Port have taken some big gambles on Ryder and Dixon and may have been burned immediately on both.

Can't help but chuckle at Dixon getting injured. I'm glad we didn't handover big $$$ for him despite his obvious talent
'The 5 season ending injuries Port Adelaide doesn't want you to know about.'
Fair enough. It being Dixon, serious injury sounded plausible.

Geez, you'd be a bit PO'd about that if you're a Port fan. They'd have their hearts in their mouths every time Dixon falls awkwardly.
The guy has been injured literally half the time he's been on an AFL list. It's amazing what Port were prepared to trade for him.
Yep and Port's official website has decided to throw some shade at the articles

Pretty good response by them, but could definitely backfire in a hurry considering Dixon's fragile body.

For the record I'm chuckling because everyone knew he would get injured and it actually happened. Sad for him because I'm not a fan of blokes being injured.

With or without Dixon, I just cannot make up my mind on the Power. Their top end of the list is great (Wingard, Gray, Wines, Boak, arguably Hombsch and Westhoff) but it thins out in a hurry after that. I don't think much of Ebert, Broadbent, Pittard or Hartlett.
All in all, I look at that list and don't really see a top four team. But they were bloody close to a grand final in 2014 so you'd think they'd be a bit closer two years later, even if 2015 was a speed bump.
They need a couple of breakout seasons from some unexpected sources in 2016.

I think Hartlett is a pretty good player but has been playing through some injuries (shoulder for sure) but when he is right is a really good and damaging player. The rest I agree with, a bit of a hole in their side losing ryder and monfries, I bet the are glad they didnt trade lobbe. But we talk about how fickle our supporters are, so are theirs and they are a in a football state. Never tear up the tarps.
Ryan Crowley the first Bombers top up player. Mitch Golby and Zac O'Brien are rumoured to be two of the other ten. Jonathan Simpkin from the Hawks as well.

Can't they only take one former player from each club?
