Pretty amazing to think you had to go 14-8 to qualify this year.

All reports are Grima trained strongly and was interviewed by Bowen, would be very surprised if he doesn't play. Only question mark is whether to play Delaney to cover the extra tall.

Good work Scotty. I'll miss this by a matter of days! Returning to Perth in two weeks and we get a Perth final, bloody typical!

Of all the players we would look to move on Edwards is perhaps the only one with genuine trade value. Can't see us delisting him before trade week, there's a few sides screaming for a player of his quality.

Certainly hope not. We have about a dozen blokes in our best 22 who have all played less than 100 games and will expect a pay increase in their next contract. With no major retirements on the horizon we need room to move and make sure Atley, Cunnington & co. are comfortable with their wages.

I wanted him, but at $650k a year he'd be close to the highest paid player at the club, perhaps barring Swallow. IIRC in this thread I said I'd happily trade for him if we paid him sub-$500k a year, doesn't look like we would have got close with that.

The Age is reporting Boak has accepted a 2-year $1.3 million deal at Port Adelaide. No issue with that, I would have been upset if we offered him that sort of money.

Did I suggest Swallow doesn't get free kicks? He's our number 1 clearance player, he's bound to get infringed like I'm sure Priddis & Kerr do. Just looking for some objectivity in posts, from both supporters, and publishing Swallow's ranking without identifying two West Coast players were...

Behind Shuey & Cox in Frees For. It's the treatment all ruckman get against Cox that annoys me the most, most looked after player in the comp.

Jeez bring in Friday I want to know who gets on that flight. Biggest selection week of the year and so many what ifs in my mind. - Wright, Wells & Grima in if fit. - Petrie to play up the ground & help Goldy, Tarrant the square. - Harper was made for finals, he stays. Can't give you...

Would rather see Petrie play in the guts for 40% of the game.

*Rubs face for 3 minutes* 'Yeah...Nah...Yeah...Lance Piccione was ah...Jonathan Hay will...Nah' Give me Brad Scott any day.

Good news. The game & broadcasting is in as good shape as its ever been and McLaughlan had plenty to do with that. He needs to stick around and sort the inequality of the fixture out.

Just be thankful Dean Laidley is no longer a senior coach. His inability to speak properly was infuriating.

Scott Thompson from North unlucky, will challenge Swallow for North's B&F this year.
