Marc Murphy is really cool and I secretly wish he was playing for us, and also get the feeling that so do the match committee!


He'll be toying with Collingwood soon enough, does that count?

I reckon we should condensce everything into a single day, brownlow, trade week, the draft, the GF, whizz fizz, the whole 22 rounds, umpire bashing, Dimwits speeches and witch hunts, caro's articles, patrick Smith's blubbering, pies and beer paied for through the nose, the closing of the roof and then opening it again, everything, and and have this big stick stuck in the middle of the MCG and horse shoes, horse shoes are good, and wehoever tosses the most horse shoes around the stick wins everything - course then we might want slaves too and have a civil war and...


jesus I hate this waiting 8)


What would we do for the other 363 days of the year?

We'd sit around bellyaching about it not coming soon enough etc. :lol:

Personally I think trade week should be made trade year. If a player's not performing just swap him with another club for a few weeks and see if it works out.

And you could have a big slave-style auction at the start of each year with players going to the highest bidder. You could bid 3/4s of your salary cash on Judd or Brown and then have to fill the rest of the team with hacks you hope might get a kick (a bit like fantasy footy really).

I reckon a few of our guys might get a bit of a reality check when they are among the last guys picked :twisted:


Maybe we could take that a step further and implement a "pinch-hitter" system whereby clubs could rent out a player for a maximum of say 6 rounds a year.

Got a big game coming up? Why not rent the Eagles midfield and Jonathan Brown?

On second thoughts maybe it's not such a great idea.

We'd be the first to go broke as all the cash would be going one way... :?

We'd get good money for Campo at Melbourne surely. Maybe not for onfield performances, but think what a boon it would be for their members to have a real life AFL footballer instructing them at Falls.

and we could rent JE out to all club functions 8) - though clubs would need to keep him away from their uncontracted players :?
