    I love Roughy. I meant when he plays us.

    Re: Following our ex's...................

    I think it comes to the way they leave our club ... With Cooney at Essendon, I wasn't fazed and happy for him when he played well (unless it was against us). Whereas with Griffen who left the same year, I was hoping a huge hole would swallow him up or he would fail. It felt satisfying when he retired without a premiership medallion. Now that he's retired, I wish him all the best. I don't care anymore.

    With Roughy, I wish him all the best at Collingwood, unless they're playing us. Dahlhaus on the other hand can go for a long walk to find the hole I dug for Griff.

    I'm fickle that way

    In congestion he'll still be very effective. Unfortunately he would be behind Naughton and Cordy as a tall defender if he stayed with us and behind Trengove as a ruck who can go back.

    But ahead of Trengove when Boyd doesn’t play and English is tired? Or ahead of English when his form (?) slumps as is always the case with youngsters.

    I get moving on Campbell, Specimen... but don’t get this one.

    No, not ahead of Trengove for mine. Trengove's finish to the season was excellent and has spent all pre-season in the ruck for that reason.

    He was pushed out and for good reason ... but he's still in the Dahlhaus basket.

    Firrito, interesting.

    Griffen & Tambling together too, draft world's collide. They get to play with the great Shane Thorne.

    It looks like the Bombres are well and truly on their way to completing a another national trade championship and national pre season championship double, with the help of Jake Stringer:

    I just vomited in my mouth a little at the thought of these guys actually being good again.

    I'd actually be concerned more than excited by 2019 Jake Stringer hanging 7 on my first choice backline but whatever.
