Zac Clarke is remotely decent?
The free agency pool is s-h-a-l-l-o-w.
What should I tell her? She's going to ask.

Compared to the rest on the list. Yep, just our luck as we grow to content that the cupboard is virtually empty.

Thoughts on Aaron Black, mjp?
Our 1954 premiership players are our heroes, and it has to be said that Charlie was their hero.

Re: Players On The Market 2016
O'Meara is a big yes for me BUT at what cost for a player who has been injured for 2 years. He's like a Ferrari for sale that has a transmission problem, you know that once it's fixed it's an amazing car but will the problem come back. With that in mind you don't want to invest too much.
They've done studies you know, 60% of the time, it works every time!

Apparently he turned down something like $700,000 for two years. Whoever is prepared to pay that and possibly two high picks, good luck.

Maybe money isn't what is driving his decision to leave. He probably just wants to play football with a club that has history and a culture.

Not a bad idea if he passes a medical.

True dat. I agree with your analogy 100%. Two high picks and a very healthy salary for a guy who has spent 60% or more of his afl career in the rehab group is a high price to pay, Ferrari or not.

Not keen on Schultz. Doesn't cover the ground Cloke does either and is not as big a body.

Agree, and I was in seat 1A of the Schulz bandwagon while he was still spudding it up at Richmond. He's done like a dinner.
