I'd love to be a fly on the wall if Dittmar and Hinkley had a one on one conversation. Something tells me Dittmar would pull his head in in that scenario though.

Let's bury the hatchet mate, I'll meet you at your club and we'll watch the lads train, then we'll have a beer afterwards. Sound like a plan?

The audio of Hinkley and the **** wit was quality. Dittmar is a turd.

Fair to say Hinkley doesn't have too much time for Ditts.

In between Cold Chisel tracks Dittmar might keep the odd bogan entertained but he has zero credibility in the football world.

I won't even refer to MMM as football "media".

Does Hinkley and Hardwick have the same Manager? If so he is the best Manager a man could have!

Dittmar tries too hard to be neutral. Would be better if he just went down the Andrew Jarman path, admitted his allegience and made it a thing.

You could have stopped at "Dittmar.... has zero credibility...."

Hartlett I'll cop, 38 goals from 18 games for the Chad, he's not been our worst. ( 40+goals and he might have got a pass mark above )

Sorry mate, forgot my Emoji ;)

Games I've seen this year Wingard has been a bit of a downhill skier, and whilst I think he's capable of plenty more, 38 from 18 not a bad return

He's one right on the edge, I think and one of the blokes I point the finger at for not working hard enough in both directions. Several players who have been on the list for a while have been given opportunities this year to grab a spot and make it theirs.

Byrne-Jones the stand out, came in and hasn't missed a beat. Austin, who I really rate as a developing key defender has been solid without being spectacular.

Ah Chee, Clurey, Amon, Neade, Toumpas, Sam Gray and to a lesser extent the known Mitchell and Butcher. None of them have been able, other than DBJ, to come in and make it impossible to be dropped. Clurey probably held his spot with Carlile, Hombsch and Jonas injured and Trengove rucking, although he, Clurey, has been ok but under duress from the shit skills of those up the ground.

I think Amon, Sam Gray and Ah Chee would be available if anyone came along with a second or third rounder for us.

Don't think you will get a second or third rounder for any of those.

Thought Palmer looked the part the other night.

That's why I said they'd be available. :D

Yes, good size, good hands, could be a good swing man. 188cm ( 6' 2" ) and mobile.

Couple I think you might take a burnt crumpet if you were offered

Who do you think will be delisted Booney? Do you still owe any draft picks from previous trades?

Who was the last key forward that was developed at the Power, last 4 have all been traded in

Delisted - Mitchell, Butcher/Schulz ( not sure which one ), Colquhoun and one of O'Shea or Stewart.

Draft picks - Yes, owe GC a second rounder for Dixon. I still maintain this was a worthy acquisition.

Developing key forwards? 4 traded in? Schulz ( in 2009 ), Dixon, who else? Can't count Monfries and Ryder as "key forwards" as that's not what they are.

What has really set us back is Mitch Harvey and Mason Shaw, who, you ask?

Shaw, 197cm 92kg taken pick 30 in 2012 was a key forward in the making. About to turn 22 he would have been the ideal replacement for Schulz. He never came on. Never looked like getting a game.

Harvey, 197cm 93kg taken pick 45 in 2013 was a key forward in the making. About to turn 21 he would have been the ideal replacement for Schulz. He never came on. Never looked like getting a game.

That has really put us back, it's been the reason we've had to keep Butcher, recruit Dixon and perhaps keep Schulz on the list again next year.
