    Talia barracks for Carlton because he liked the jumper when he was 4 years old - as the grandchild of a Bulldogs premiership player, what a crying shame.
    Our 1954 premiership players are our heroes, and it has to be said that Charlie was their hero.

      Michael Talia - his brother who is year younger and also plays for the Cannons is a dogsman. Hopefully he will last to pick 16 next year

        Funny how the three talls all compared themselves to Riewoldt.
        W00F!

          If you're trying to get drafted you're better off companing yourself to Riewoldt rather than saying, "I play just like Cameron Wight".

            Most would respond, "Who?".

              I reckon plenty of people would know who Cameron Wight is. After all he is Victoria's shield captain and he just made his first century for Australia in international cricket. How could you forget that!
              They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

                Well played, sir.

                He's not overly tall though

                  That means we would have finished the 2010 season outside the top 8, no thanks....

                  Plus we also have to make room for Wallis & Libba.

                  But that's all a fair bit off yet...

                      Does anyone else read Talia's interview and think with the way he has answered the questions he is going a bit over the top in trying to impress people? Maybe its just the way i saw it.

                              Jale Carlisle is up now. He was the one Mark Stevens said we might possibly get.

                              I liked this bit:

                              Q. Which AFL team do you support and how did you come to barrack for them?

                              A. Western Bulldogs as both grandfathers barrack for them.
