Lobsters, rock lobsters and crayfish | Western Australian Museum

Yeah, just saw that. Their lack of claws probably makes them rock lobsters.

 

[neilk]

Nope. We get it wrong in Australia. What we often call crays are usually rock lobsters. If,

• You caught it in salt water and it has no claws… It is a rock lobster
• You caught it in salt water and it has claws… It is a lobster
• You caught it in freshwater and it has claws… It is a crayfish.

Thank you Jacques Cousteau.

Aren't they actually crayfish?

True lobsters have claws like crabs.
In Australia we have saltwater crayfish that don't have claws, but are also known as rock lobsters.
Any excuse:

Thank you Jacques Cousteau.

Non, Monsieur Google.

 

[Bramax]

we are doing something, we are currently in the process of reaming GC, Port and Swans in one deal
just takes time
far better than rolling over like we have done the previous few years

Recouping some past losses. There’s been a few.

 

[What is a cakewalk]

I trust Glenn McFarlane as a journo. He has been in footy a long, long time and if he says it is happening tomorrow, the lock it in!!!

My brother Olaf is a mad Demons fan with a mate in the Demon's coterie. The suggestion from those in the know at Melbourne is that Petracca will get to Collingwood at the end of 2025 season...

The thought of Perryman, Houston and, perhaps, one other at Magpieland in 2025 makes me very keen for next year... we are being aggressive and thoughtful in the trade window.

I would suggest Tomlinson will be added before 2025 as well

Floreat Pica.

As salivating as this sounds how the hell will we afford petracca if we are trading out our future first again?

 

[Bramax]

I am more curious as to why the hawks and the eagles haven't completed the barrass deal. I wouldn't be surprised if they are holding off on announcing any deal until the houston deal has been completed.

They seem to be a long way apart on the deal. Eagles can just keep him.

 

[jakson68]

Really we are onto crayfish now!!

Im guessing it is another quiet morning on the trade front.

They really need to reduce the trade period to one week.
For the sanity of mankind.

 

[Vinnie Vegas]

I'm looking to replace Cox next year as well. Not because he isnt best 22 but I'd like to find someone who can offer more pressure in the F50 and ruck 20%.

I think the club takes a look at how Steene and Smit look this coming year in the VFL, and if they can reasonably project one of them as getting to AFL level, they'll stick with that, and if not, they might look at a Darcy Cameron-type trade.

Maybe they pick up Jack Hayes as a stop-gap in the meantime.

 

[manicpie]

If it lives in a pineapple under the sea, it's sponge bob square pants

 

[Piewithsauce13]

Treloar? Younger but worse. High disposal goal-kicking midfielder, and he cost us two first round picks.

I don't think Ads was his calibre to be honest. Struggling for a comparison in recent times

I couldn’t think of someone… Clement?

In: Clement , Holland pick 22
Out: pick 8 ( Daniel Motlop) pick 39 ( Adam McPhee).

Great trade!

Buckley would be the last player we've traded in that was better than Houston

We can keep trading our future 1st and future-future 1st.

 

[Cousin of Daicos]

What makes people think the trade will happen today? The AFL have been waiting for a blockbuster trade like this for years. They'll milk this for all its worth and will make it go down to the last 5 minutes.

I had the same thought process as you, but then some others pointed out something that makes sense.

The Houston trade has way too many ramifications tied to it as well as other trades relying on it with picks and such.

It can't really wait until the last day to go through, it screws over waaaaay too many other teams and trades.

It should be going through either today or over the weekend/Monday

 

[Vinnie Vegas]

In: Clement , Holland pick 22
Out: pick 8 ( Daniel Motlop) pick 39 ( Adam McPhee).

Great trade!

That trade was actually significantly more complicated than that, because it was tied in with Mal Michael leaving the club and Jarrad Molloy coming in, and that pick #8 ended up in the hands of North Melbourne, so there was a lot of moving parts.

Jimmy Clement was a mega star, not given anywhere near enough respect from non Collingwood people.

The AFL had to change the rules to try and negate him.

 

[Piewithsauce13]

Buckley would be the last player we've traded in that was better than Houston

In: Buckley, Pick 39 (Jason Wild)
Out : Pick 12 ( Christ Scott), Starcevich , Lehmann

 

[TradeDraft]

It's Friday...

Is one humongous, 3-way, multi-player, multi-pick trade too much to ask?!?

I am 99.9% it won’t happen today

 

[Gymnorhina tibic]

Anthony Rocca?

 

[Piewithsauce13]

Oh wow, didn’t realise. I loved Clement was my fav player !

 

[TradeDraft]

Can't see Houston happening today because it has too many clicks coming for it.

But they'll have to release one of the ones that has been lodged, just to keep interest rolling into next week!

Tuesday afternoon be the Earliest

Great trade!

I feel like Clement improved significantly as a Pie, and wasn't at that level as a Docker (thankfully, otherwise it would have cost an arm and a leg to nab him!).

Buckley would be the last player we've traded in that was better than Houston

This is where I think I'm coming to as well.

Was a gun!!

Back at it again.
