    This entire thread has become dedicated to narc-ing and I'm sure Happy Days will voice his displeasure shortly.

    I know you have some fantastic knowledge around this stuff, but despite the lucrative offers that could come I respectfully request you reject all approaches to be List/Recruiting manager especially at St Kilda.

    St Kilda are the anti John West - Always good to pick the ones they miss.

    Leave the memories alone. Except for that one guy who wanted to trade pick 4 for Nick Smith, never forget that one.

    Teams have in the past frantically traded for the first pick on Draft Night Two. I’d be frantically trading for the pick right after St Kilda. Just imagine what RTB could do if he had a few more gun players right now. I think they missed a beat going to SOS. I think his time has passed.

    They might not have got back to RTB if they had Bont instead of Billings and Naughton instead of Clark/Coffield

    A few including me wanted Billings not knowing much of Bont.
    Everitt turned me off mobile talls as no good at either, too slow and no good tall.

    Symbolism is very powerful.
    LNP butchered the symbol of 'liberal' too.
    Not liberal but conservative.

    Schache and Cordy both dropped this week, would have resulted in rigorous debate in the match committee thread last season!
