Must be some very happy coaches this weekend, no-one wants to trade or auction.. Some 2nd and 3rd year players doing very well in the NAB cup this weekend.
Indeed Len. What did you think of Mr. Steele's limited TOG? I managed a very good stream for the Port vs Eagles game. Thought the outstanding choices (outside of the obvious like Grey and Priddis) were Amon and Lycett, yet both barely rate a scratch in the Hun's SC Watch. They don't take into account new physique, TOG, how players are building towards R!, new roles, what will happen when the resting prems return, etc.
Lycett is on my radar for sure, esp given the way they are 'managing' NicNat.. Aaron Young looked good too. I am not sure that any of the giants draftees, including Steele will get many games this year really, we have more capable players than we have spots for on every line and for every role. Whilst we have 3 top 7 picks plus Steele it's almost impossible to see who gets kicked out so they play. I expect them all to be learning their craft NEAFL and the ones that really shine come in for games a bit later on. Having said that, if any of the 4 are named for round 1 they become must haves as they will be deemed first in line for the spot, personally I don't see much likelihood of this. I genuinely believe that some were drafted to be traded.
This could have kept for the Muso Round, but it is just too good, and by one of my favourite musicians.

That would be the most boring GF I have witnessed. Australia v England in the RWC and the NRL GF put it to shame. In fact, the Mongolian synchronized swimming (women) championship put it to shame.
Agree with you TiB, for once I did not watch the whole game although I rushed home from golf to make sure I could. The level of skill exhibited was disappointing - I watched West Coast quite a lot this year and this game was quite atypical. Final's pressure? Perhaps. I do not enjoy watching this Hawthorn team play. For mine they are a team of thugs. Yes, there is the occasional passage of play of such quality I stand up and applaud. But I despair at the level of niggle and intimidation. Ruthless I can accept but I see a distinction. Sure, it is 'legal' in the sense that they do not get penalised for their approach; but it just leaves me cold.
Anybody who hasn't seen The Martian yet, should. Best movie I've ever seen, easily the best since Avatar
I went to see it and half way through the film the evacuation alarm went off and the whole cinema complex at Westfield Doncaster was evacuated due to a burst water pipe which flooded some areas. Wasn't really worried but their emergency procedures were rather piss poor. If it was a life threatening emergency people would have died for sure. Anyhow, how did it end?
Re the GF. I don't think the Hawks are as intimidatory as the Lions were in their 3peat. I think that Lions team would cower this Hawks side.
