Seriously no new material? it wasn't even funny to start off with, now 3 weeks later .. still not.
Minson would provide some great material if we traded him in, he's particularly fond of "Mum" jokes

Sounds like someone Ricky Petterd would get along with.

Accurate description of the media during off-season.

Great get to get Stretch in the 3rd Round

Dear Big Footy Under 18 guru,

Was watching the highlights of Billy Stretch and noticed a very annoying tendency that i look for when watching these clips, he ALWAYS turns onto his favoured side, be it right hand or right foot, tell me, does he have a left foot?

Not only does this worry me from a skill perspective but it also only allows him to see half the field when turning onto the one side it also become predictable to the opposition. Hopefully it was just the way the clip was put together and there is nothing to worry about.

Some insight would be appreciated.

That's the thing about bad jokes. The less funny they are, the more fun it is to repeat them. My theory on terrible jokes was that before they're ready to use, you need to break them in a good 2 or 3 hundred times before it's ready for mass circulation. Once you're at that point, you should be able to milk a good 5 to 10 years out of any given humourless anecdote or quip. Once you get through the golden period, you've got maybe another hundred or two uses of winding down before you retire the joke and dust it off once or twice a year at Christmas etc.

Trust me, I'm an expert. I've been recycling the same material for decades.

Is that you, big Will?

If we don't end up trading our second round pick and the pick remains at #23 who would we be looking at?

Seems to be a few clearance winning mids in that area in some if the phantom drafts.

If we use both picks 2 and 3, I reckon we'll be trying pretty hard to trade 23 for a midfielder such as the Vince trade last year.

If we use the pick, Im very keen on Nakia Cockatoo - although after his excellent testing at the camp, we would be pretty lucky if he's still available.

Vince trade worked out well and I would be surprised if something like that happened again. I think the purple rain trade is similar this year, getting in the same age/experience player in.

Yeah the hype for the kid has been massive lately. Seems unlikely at this point.

So long as we don't use pick 23 on Lumumba!
 
I know GC wouldn't do this as they are still trying to build depth, but i keep imaging a dream scenario where we trade pick 3 for 8 and 15. The Saints take Petracca at 1, we get Brayshaw at 2 and a trade for a player for 3 doesn't come up. We don't want to take a KPF at 3 so we trade it for the picks and somehow end up getting another a grade midfielder and a KPF as well.

Or Saints don't take Petracca and we get both.

Proven good players are nice and all, but this time of year is all about visualising players winning Brownlows and Norm Smiths in Red and Blue, whilst not actually knowing what they look or play like :)

There was the one occasion he turned to his left on the boundary but accelerated past someone to his right

Also noticed that his kicking seemed to float, a little Cameron Bruce if you will

Looking at him of be surprised if he plays much next year at all
