Starts with the trade talk, draft talk, and pre-season injuries, ends with some team winning the flag. Well, anyone except Melbourne.
thankyou gabbo, and here we are again.
o'keefe is leaving sydney to come back to victoria. where's he going to end up?
what about kerr? should he stay or should he go now?
Kerr will go. He told me last night in the bowels of the Metro City nightclub here in Perth.
yeah they should be a major sponsor of the west coast eagles. but i don't know what team will have enough to trade for him.
The Eagles will be picking up Nick Naitanui, the explosive rookie ruckman from the Swannies in Perth. Sure to be a fecking superstar down the track, mark my words.
unless melbourne do. or we go for watts, or vickery, or rich, or - just for shits n giggles, hit n memories - luke molan.
i think the eagles will be more likely to pick up daniel rich. he's from subi and seems a more eagles type player. i reckon dockers will get natanui.
I thought the talk was the Eagles were initially leaning toward Rich, but were now looking at Nata? Anyway, I hope they both stay in WA. Both going to be big stars.
By the way, my sister used to catch a bus with Naitanui. Claim to fame secured.
did she touch his dreads?
Nah.
i think i read that yarran was going to be the bombers first pick at number 5, he and natanui grew up on the same street.
that story is pretty cool about that set of neighbours.
i keep hearing ''o'keefe'' and ''essendon'' being uttered in the same sentence, but don't see how that would happen without our highest draft pick going.
and where is cousins going? if at all?
Most probably home, in the back of a divvy van
clap! clap! clap clap clap!
St kilda or Collingwood will be Cousins new home if he plays footy again.
Kerr I think will stay and see out his contract at WC then in 12 months demand a trade.
i like the idea of o'keefe to the scrays for whatever pick they get from freo for ray plus their own second rounder.
i wonder if sydney will chase kerr though? that could muddy the waters.
no doubt we'll only know by next friday at 3.58pm. if the fax machine is working.
are the dogs still sniffing around thommo or has he officially retired? i can't remember if he was in the retired players parade the other day.
even though it's early, it's hard to see too many teams challenging hawthorn or geelong. i'm thinking brisbane could improve with the change of coaches, maybe carlton might make the 8.
I think/hope Voss is gonna crash and burn.
i'd love to see R.O'Keefe at Carlton, i love the way this guy plays, i'd prefer him before Kerr if in actual fact he leaves WCE, the Essendon link to O'Keefe is due to him following them as a youngster i think. Heard on the rumour mill Wojo wants out of Geelong also.
when did o'keefe wimp out on sydney??? maybe i should've read the hun today....
nup, he was a footscray supporter according to the age today. bastion of truth that it is!

good. i like max.
For any Melbourne supporters out there, we have delisted Chris Johnson, yes, the guy in our team who could kick.
Well, not delisted, he walked out..So we cant attract players to our club, and now we can't keep the ones we have..good times
I fear for you turtle.
It's OK, West Sydney Demons has an OK ring to it
word on the street is Johnsons been offered a two year deal at Carlton, wtf?
Yep, means any other club has to meet that 2 year deal to draft him. I can see WC, Freo, Port and Ess all having a look at him before he gets to Carlton. Hope he goes back to Perth the greedy little cunt..Born and bred Melbourne supporter, Dad played for the dees and was a father son pick, started to show some good signs this year and now the greedy fucker is off.
We offerred him a 2 year deal, well a 1 year deal with performance based incentives for the 2nd year, which based on this years form would have easily achieved.
What's that saying? Something about sinking ships and small hairy rodents?
whats that saying, carlton are a pack of cunts.
word on the street is that the supposed offer of a two-year deal at the dees for cj is a touch of spin-doctoring. it was a singular. and bailey tore him a new one in the carpark from all reports. really let him have it with cross words.
he's not that big a loss. he's a lovely kick...on the left. completely one-sided and his right-foot kicks go straight up in the air...
I can understand the emotion of Melbourne supporters, but I wouldn't wanna play for them at the moment either.
good to see the hatred towards Carlton re emerging after a few years of almost sympathy.
they make it easy.
Harvs at Carlton, very handy indeed.
Crawf has retired, who was he kidding????
he was still playing good when his body was holding up.
shame there was no final game hoorah (well besides winning the gf, thats a pretty good hoorah)
guess there may be a lap of honour thing round 1...
new brisbane lions dynasty awaits... oh who am i kidding
'the distance and break from footy has made me realise ive achieved what i set out to do in football' says Crawf. I read it as 'i can't be fucked doing an 18th pre season' which is fair enough, great career.
fair suck of the sav,can we please give cricket it's fifteen minutes!
piss off to the cricket thread cheezel.
megan - most likely gawn forever.
....like i said ages ago.
