I hope bloody Carlton don't get pick 14 in exchange for Sauce Jacobs.

 

[cobl04]

Crows offered a low pick for Tambling

Good ol' EvE nightclub, of course. Even I almost got raped there once..

Ken Hinkley to succeed Thompson perhaps?

LOL

i've been told off several times for walking into areas to have a quick sit down or something because they're apparently for vips.

i think it'll be Sanderson but it don't bother me.,

 

[Vlad n U 2]

Yeah, can't believe we're very likely to get Tambling (Bock compo pick). He needs a change, badly.

 

[Vlad n U 2]

First trade to go through is Veszpremi and pick #73 to the Bulldogs and Everitt to Sydney.

 

[intedomine]

I'm not all that disappointed that Tambling is exiting the club, but would have preferred maybe a disillusioned Crow in return. I'm all for rebuilding our list, and Hardwick has done a splendid job in '10, but our list is just so raw!!!

 

[Vlad n U 2]

Deal should be done either today or tomorrow.

 

[Axver]

As far as the rape allegations go, I think both of these articles are fairly good reading:

Magpie denials as smears emerge
Collingwood Footballers Investigated For Rape

By the way ...

Psst, Bomber, y'know you want to come back to Windy Hill. Go on go on go on go on go on go on. I know you won't, buuut ...

 

[Vlad n U 2]

The hill is probably too windy for him.

Right now it's a bit too bloody windy for most people!

I, of course, think it's just a mild breeze. I'm thinking of having a barbecue. /wellingtonian

 

[Vlad n U 2]

With that wind? Spare a thought for the lamb chops that will be flying around the place.

Frank Costa said if he goes to Essendon within the year he will not be looked upon favourably.

true that. i still don't reckon you're much chance of winning more than seven or eight games next year.

 

[Vlad n U 2]

Tambling is officially a Crow. Only qualm with this is that we had to give away our third rounder as well. At this rate we'll have no draft picks.

Seya Josh!

if only the GC had someone to kick to...

a mate of mine is doing terrific trade week updates

i really, really hope Hale goes to Melbourne and not Hawthorn. i would love to see the Demons back in the eight next year.

The Demon are a very good chance for a top 8 spot next year. Providing they win out of home.

 

[cobl04]

Spoiler

i think he'll have about 10 possessions for the year.

 

[Vlad n U 2]

Carlton traded Shaun Grigg to Richmond for Andrew Collins.

Can't believe that Richmond gave up such a promising, young talent.

 

[cobl04]

i can't believe West Coast only got pick 85 for McKinley.

 

[bono_man2002]

So new have the 'Krack' ...will fit well with the "Sack" Dick and Co.

 

[Vlad n U 2]

i can't believe West Coast only got pick 85 for McKinley.

Yeah, me too. I would've thought he'd be worth a third rounder.

So new have the 'Krack' ...will fit well with the "Sack" Dick and Co.

Enjoy them.

 

[The Sad Punk]

i can't believe West Coast only got pick 85 for McKinley.

Very disappointed - he may not quite be LeCras or Kennedy standard, but he was a solid and reliable performer for the most part. He just had a bad year. Hopefully we'll clean up for the rest of our trades.

 

[cobl04]

can we dedicate this thread today to Bathurst?

fucking unbelievable crash at the chase on lap 1.

Was wondering if you were around today or if you'd gone to Mt Panorama.

As I said elsewhere, Bathurst may not be quite what it used to be, but it can still deliver a spectacular crash on lap one. Now looks like the weather's turning bad - hell yes. Bring it on!

 

[Axver]

Ew, just noticed one of the cars has the Magpies logo on it. Didn't see which car though.

 

[Vlad n U 2]

It's probably Jason Bright. He's a Pies supporter.

 

[cobl04]

Luke Youlden just hit the wall on the climb. Holdsworth & Besnard look like they've got it sown up.

this is the i think third or fourth year in a row i haven't been to Bathurst... planning to go up with mates next year. in lieu of the Denny ute muster.

just on that - what exactly do you mean? are you talking about the actual cars, how they're not really Holdens or Fords, has the improvement of the cars been detrimental to the race in your view? it's an interesting point you make...

I think we've discussed before that I miss the days when there were more manufacturers and multiple classes. I can understand removing multiple classes, since the slower cars could be said to clog up the track, but we really need more manufacturers.

Beyond that, I feel like every year, Bathurst looks more and more like any old race circuit rather than a regular road, so I feel like it's lost some charm there. And I may be old enough to remember Bathursts with multiple manufacturers/classes, but I wish I were old enough to have seen the races when the cars were little more than basically off the showroom floor.

It's still the Great Race to me, no question about that, but I'd at least like it to have a bit more flavour than it currently does.

 

[Axver]

After such an exciting start, today's proceedings haven't really been that exciting, except for the battle between Lowndes and Holdsworth (or was it Besnard in the car when Lowndes finally got past? Forgotten now) and Youlden's encounter with the wall. This won't exactly go down as the most dramatic or topsy-turvy Bathurst in history unless some crazy shit goes down soon.
