With rumours suggesting G. Ablett's move back to Geelong at the end of the year. Would that open a spot at Gold Coast for another high paid player. I.e Dustin Martin?? With Ablett gone that would free up another $1,000,000 per season to offer Dusty??

I think that's it. And 'disaster' and 'barber' really don't rhyme at all. Plus it doesn't have enough syllables to flow properly.

Shit banner, even with correct grammar.

Haven't seen this year's effort, but I've seen a lot worse than last year's show. I like Sam Pang's dry humour, but Andy Maher ruins it because he is as funny as someone dropping farts in an elevator.

Don't forget about Australia's most unfunny comedian Mick Molloy. Huge flog.

Sam Pang is genuinely funny and the best part of that show.

I have picked them.

Freo will certainly be better than they were last year.

Sandi and Fyfe automatically give them a fair share of clearances, which will only aid Neale and Mundy.

Whilst McCarthy won't set the world on fire, he will be an upgrade on what Pav was able to produce last year. Pav just couldn't cover the ground, sadly.

I give Brisbane a huge chance to beat GC. Starting midfield of Martin, Beams,Zorko and Rockliff is right up there



It's the other 18 that worry me :lol:

Is he a joint winner with Dusty. Apparently after one game against Carlton Dusty is a certainty

With the likes of Lever, Sloan and Walker huge possibilites of not playing this weekend. With B Crouch also out. I've just changed my pick to GWS for the win.

35,000 Carlton fans realising another dud season on the cards, drinking piss better than watching the blues I guess.
