I’ve stuck fat through thick and thin with my beloved club. The years of enthusiasm and optimism, in spite of our on-field performances, is finally starting to wane. Hopefully there’s a spark some time this season to keep the interest up. It’s hard to see right now though.

John Barnes from Geelong/* became as smooth as silk on on left after a career as a righty. I have a vague memory of it being prompted by an injury, but either way he became so proficient he would kick on his left under no pressure, just for fun.

I thought we had it - shattered for our ladies.

Welcome Colby. I hope you smash it.

They’ll probably schedule us there every year until we promise not to boo Judas.

I have long mulled over an auction/points-based system like this, but not to this level of detail. Well done. I like that all picks are taken at something damned close to true market price, and that teams lower down the ladder get some more poker chips (points) to play with. Some teams would...

And if that’s a reasonable chance of being true (that they prefer McKercher), we should hold our nerve and our picks. 5 top 20 picks is the stuff of dreams.

It sounds like he’s never had any real emotional attachment to North.

Can we claim the 10-year rule too? https://www.theroar.com.au/2010/02/24/remembering-the-10-year-rule-from-1973/

Same. One of Reid or McKercher sounds great. We might be on the path to get the former from P2 so let the chips fall where they may and grab a heap of talented kids with the picks we have. Don’t trade up up P1.

So…can we flip him for pick 3?

The Family Club. What bullshite, hey?

No idea - i just wanted to understand your statement. Thanks for clarifying.

How so?

Good hip turn, nice shoulder rotation, and the club is square at the top (but laid off a little). There’s every chance he nailed it.
