A few immediate thoughts: What was Harley (not) thinking to allow himself to be photoed doing something like this? What sort of people, hardly friends, was/is Harley mixing with to not only take such photos but then sell them to the press? I assume that they weren't just given away. I'd hate to...

That HOTA is good to know. Thanks. Do you know where I could get those figures each week? Be helpful.

I got him in to avoid a donut and cover F/R injuries. Happy with his start as well. Particularly happy that he seemed to be consistent across the 4 qtrs. Also happy with 21 possies and 5 marks - good numbers for a ruck. Not happy with only 18 hitouts. With Crows he never really got a good go as...

You too, huh? With the aweful possibility of Titch being dropped to the NEAFL as well.

Gotta rate the Blues without MM. May not win a lot but look a completely different team. Gotta hate the byes. Planned for them, had 20-21 playing every week, and ended up having to use 9 trades just to get 18 on-field every week.

I really admire the way that Hawthorn play the game - skillful and hard. I admire that when Clarkson started to develop the use of accurate kicking to counter the defensive flood - and was criticized at the time for it - he persisted and reaped the benefits. I admire that the Hawks can play...

RIP johnnytheboy. I always appreciated the trouble you took to post updates on league standings and encourage us, even when in the midst of chemo. Sad.

Really hard to tell about Macrae. He was dropped last year as well. Only missed the one game because he was a late inclusion after being listed as an emergency. I noticed that in his last 2 games his CP/UP ratio was roughly 50/50 so you would think he has learnt whatever lesson he had to. His...

Loved that smirk.

Don't be too hard on the bloke. 12 contested possies isn't bad. But it looks like they are trying to get other players in to the mix rather than the usual suspects: Hodge, Mitchell and Lewis. Very even spread of possies tonite.

Richardson has said that he is undecided if it will be Schneider or Sinclair who will be upgraded. Schneider has the best form this year and being so experienced really helps for on-ground coaching but if they are looking to the future then Sinclair would be the choice. IN a draft league I would...

I really liked what I saw of Byrne. I'm holding off on fwd downgrades in the hope he returns soon.

Now Darling is back it is hard to see Lamb getting a regular game. Steele I am staying clear of because I doubt if he will get many games and if he does will probably be as a sub. Fantasia is one I am looking at but is his spot secure? No CP at all on the week-end even with 20 possies. 2-metre...

Thank goodness at least some of the old games are on YouTube. If not the whole game then highlights. I found the 1989 Sts v Blues match on YouTube - well, the last qtr: The highlights of the Salmon (10) v Ablett (14) shoot-out on 1993 are also on YouTube: If you remember a particular game...

Listening to Tony Locket talking about his career at the Hall of Fame induction brought back some very happy memories for a long-term Sainter. He mentioned one game in 1989 when he kicked 10 goals playing on Silvagni. I was there that day and remember it well. It was a very tight game with the...

Hitched from Perth to Darwin many years ago and got stuck in Hall's Creek for 3 days. Arrived about 3.00pm one afternoon and in the next 3 days only about 25 cars in total passed me by. I think all were locals. Slept under the stars by the side of the road. By the 3rd afternoon I was a bit tired...

Sorry Cool9 - I should have realized. Sometimes only a sledge-hammer works with me.

I don't know whether this is normal for Hibberd or not but last week-end against the Saints he seemed to not only prefer his left foot but was almost "incompetent" when forced on to his right side. Sorry to any Hibberd lovers but it was quite noticeable. I have liked him since he started at...

Nah, Cool9, that's 40 posts on the new site - since 23 April. (Speaking for writeoff in case he feels any answer he makes will sound arrogant. Sorry writeoff.)

I'm keeping both, too. I've had enough forced trades to want to limit any unforced ones and both Heeney and CEY have a fair bit more money they can make. CEY may have a slightly higher max value, say $440,000 to $420,000 for Heeney but CEY is also only about $100,000 off his max whereas Heeney...
