go [team of choice]!!

i love the trade talk!!!!!

i will use this thread to parrot the opinions of my dad. he is not answering his phone right now so until then, go dees.

So, first point of order, where does Judd go, and why?

It's down to Carlton, Essendon, and Collingwood.

I believe Carlton will get him, and would still love to think he'll go to the Bombers.

What do Bombers have to offer?

Pick 6, any number of players (young kids, etc).

Judd has perhaps 8 years in him, injuries, and no hair, so i don't know if he is a great fit for the Bombers from my perspective.

Knights however thinks we can play finals in next 2 years, so Judd might be Knights' great white hope.

Give it a rest would ya.

well, looks like i can give it a rest now, he's going to either carlton or collingwood. hope that pleases you, para.

he's going to geelong.

carlton's got him.

lucky carlton....who will be shipped out or will they take draft picks?

i reckon draft picks

haha, did it again, that last post was me.

St Kilda board also just quit...and t alk of Demetrio quitting, but not until the end of next year

it'll take pick 3, 19 & a quality kid i reckons. exactly how quality, i'm not sure... fisher? walker? kennedy? o'haiphlin (sp?)?

anok: apparently its pick 3 and kennedy I can stand to lose kennedy

but the rumour about marc murphy being traded to essendon for picks better be a lie - we can't lose the smurf !!!

murphy to bombers? it must be a soft draft this year.

murphy to the bombers is too too much for Judd..Murphy will be as big as Judd is...

sobs that Judd rejected my beloved Demons

it's got to be more than pick 3 & kennedy, surely.

the most common rumour I've heard is that this year's draft ends with the top 5.

it's got to be more than pick 3 & kennedy, surely.

Why?

if the Saints win tonight then they better play like their life depends on it when they meet Geelong in the granny! I don't want too witness a repeat preformance of their last encounter with the Handbaggers!

and unfortunately it looks like the saints are living up to their potential, bloody hell. its time for major miracle time.

hodge is gone. saints need to put goddard on williams quickly!

hodge is back on! phenomenal toughness from a great player, truly inspirational stuff! Saints look gone for all money, massive second quarter from a rampant Hawks.

fuxn nice.

going to be a great game next week. tough as nails. cant wait

Carn the Cats!

Max Rooke = Mark Yeates

look out hodgie!

that's a good one tig hahaha, hope the cats get up again, couldn't stand seeing Clarkson win a flag, revenge for 89'.

the best thing about last night was sticking it up just about every commentator/expert who had an extended rant or write-up about how st kilda would beat us. god it was infuriating. and i havn't watched the replay, but i hear 10 were pretty much barracking for the saints. eat a dick wallsy. it'll be the same this week too. fuck 'em all.

geelong are an amazing team, in the true sense of the word, but we're growing all the time and it seems that we're peaking at the right time. like geelong, we're tough as nails, super-skilled, quick, smart, courageous, play for eachother and go 25 deep. my major worry is that geelong are quicker thinkers and have that midfield dash and flair to counter our hard-as-fuck crew.

also, best banner i've ever seen last night. DON'T THINK, DO!!!

MAXIMUS! i love him. i wish he would grow his beard again so he looks like teenwolf! haha.

has anyone had any luck with the ballot? apparently money has started to be taken from people's cards....check your online banking today!

yeah from what i hear if you have got a ticket your available balance will have been deducted. looks bad from our end, but have another more expensive option lined up also, so here's hopin that comes through......

Nice work mono. Checking banking online directly.

started a grannie thread cos this one is hurting my computer.

Ill be camping outside the Mcc the night before. Last year we went at 3am. bloody freezing, this year we're coming prepared!

me too tig.

i'll be bringing a swag, and we had grand plans of bringing a poker table.

take a hip flask of scotch, it's gonna be freezing.

I missed out in the ballot too. :( A friend of mine missed out, but their cousins had put their memberships in with no intent to go, just in case my friend and her mum missed out. So they're going. Her mum has been following the cats for 50+ years so I'm glad she's going.

I'd be tempted to line up and take my chances but I have no one to go with.

Might head down to that pub on the corner of punt and toorak that painted the outside in cat's colours. or just watch it at home.

The Ballot is fucked, i have it on good authorty that VIP's get it every year. I fucking hate the Mcc, im getting as many friends as possible to sign up in the hope we can take over and turn it into an egalitarian organisation.

They're second only to the CCP in pointless bureaucratic processes

You were just unlucky Tig as my Dad and bro got tix in the ballot for two years running and they are very un-VIP. Personally I reckon the whole thing should be balloted out. Finals as well. The pretending not to bags a seat ritual is ridiculous.
