Apparantly

I think Beams also won the lottery a few years back??????

This interview on AFL 360 is not making Tony Cochrane look good.

Yeah, it's not like he was blown away by the penetrating intellectual power of Mark Robinson's questioning.

Hey all, I just received a lions guernsey from eBay and also ordered a number "7" to put on the back that will arrive soon. Anybody know where I can get the number sewn/ironed/stitched/put onto the back?

Listening to a random playlist this morning and on comes INXS with Never Tear Us Apart, used to like this song but now all I can think of his Koch and Port Adelaide bogan supporters waving their scarfs when it's playing.

Thanks a lot for ruining that song for me you Port nuffies.

Still love it and get chills when seeing the port crowd sing en masse..

Quite a few ‘journalists’ predicting Beams will be the recruit of the year despite also predicting Collingwood will either be runners up or slide in 2019.

Every year the wraps are all Collingwood.......big deal. Collingwood are Collingwood, in most cases they fail when the chips are down.

....pfft, our boys can deal with them.

Found it interesting that the Roos are coming off a trip to the WA and back before we play them yet we get an eight day break and they only get seven. Hopefully boosts our chances against them at Marvel Stadium.

Yes....it's yearly scientific proof of the theory about 100 monkeys, 100 typewriters and 100 years

He was a freak, just a genius with the footy

Sometimes we took for granted just how good he was.

And Cal Twomey and Nat Edwards both list Lachie Neale as recruit of the year...for Fremantle.

Beams is More value to Collingwood than us because he fits their flag window, when we reach ours he would be to old. His replacement is the right age for us, so in my view Beams going was a win fo us.

Roos on last night's On The Couch used Schache as an example of overplaying young players in their first year 17 in his first year and 10 in his second.

 

[Gadzorks]

Loved the little Zorko and Neale clip on the website - they are clearly having fun with each other. Nice to senior players getting on well - creates a good team environment.

He was cooked by the end of those 17 though.

 

[Gadzorks]

Also watched Fagan's press interview - he mentioned that Neale turned down AFLX ($$$$) and opted instead to play the suns game as he wanted to get to know his teammates. Bloody champion.

Interesting story on Bundy's new podcast, talking about his gambling addiction prior to being traded to us in 2014.

Might be worth putting that link on the Sponsor (cough cough Neds cough) watch thread.

 

[Ironmonger]

Might be worth putting that link on the Sponsor (cough cough Neds cough) watch thread.

If this is purely a coincidence then it's an unfortunate one.

Presumably the club spoke to Christensen about the issue before sending him onto the footy field each week with a betting agency's logo across his chest.

Maybe Bundy is behind the timing; getting in front of it before there's any whispering jokes about our sponsor and his past.

I guess we'll hear the podcast soon and learn a bit more about why he's coming out with it now. But it's got to be a good thing that he's comfortable talking about it.

Date locked in for AFL mid-season draft

The first mid-season draft in more than a quarter of a century will be held on the Monday night after round 10.

The Age understands that the AFL wrote to clubs earlier this week to inform them that the reinstituted mid-season rookie draft will take place on Monday, May 27 at approximately 6.30pm, a week earlier than had previously been flagged.

To be eligible for the draft a player must either have nominated for the most recent national draft, or have previously been on the list of a club. However a player delisted last year cannot be picked up by the same club in this year’s mid-season draft, while a player who retired last year, such as Hawthorn great Cyril Rioli, is not eligible for the mid-season draft.

Clubs will have the ability to re-sign players taken in the mid-season draft at the end of the year, like they can with a standard rookie list player.
