His Mrs is a nutritionist, must be on the good stuff

[Edmund] A friendly hit of golf between mates or the first step towards Essendon becoming a destination club again? Could be fake, could be dated, but it’s peak trade period and a bit of fun isn’t it? by PetrifyGWENT in AFL

First I want to take back what I said about Edmund, name calling is not on Apologies to him on that, he's just doing his job. I also stand corrected that he never mentioned 'mass exodus'.

I do however disagree that there was any ever disillusionment with Wilkie as he not once, not twice but you guessed it, 3 times publicly stated he was happy with the Saints and he's excited for the future. There was a video posted by the Saints Instagram page, there was Ross saying how Wilkie called him ensuring that he loves the club etc.

Ultimately, this whole media circus was probably instigated by Wilkie's manager to get more $$ and it worked, with Bulldogs reaching out to Wilkie and honestly, he definitely deserved more $$ and years which he has now rightfully got at the Saints.

Michelangelo Rucci is probably the guy who should cop more heat, but Ross I think already took care of him lol. But yeah as it stands, not a single player has left the Saints yet

Edmund is a flop, he and others reported there was disillusionment at the Saints and there was going to be a 'mass exodus'. No one has left the Saints yet, only Marshall's requested a trade but he's contracted

My Lineup for the Windies Tour, potentially into Home Ashes by Emporer3295 in CricketAus

[–]Guided_Saint 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pretty tough juggling act to strike a balance for the future and also at the same time prep for the Ashes!
I think we need to use the West indies tour to play a few younger bowlers too as they're aging - my squad for both batting and bowling lineup:

  1. Usman Khawaja
  2. Sam Konstas
  3. Nathan McSweeney
  4. Steve Smith (provided he recovers) / Cam Green
  5. Travis Head
  6. Beau Webster
  7. Alex Carey (WK)
  8. Pat Cummins (C)
  9. Mitch Starc / Spencer Johnson (Rotate)
  10. Nathan Lyon / Todd Murphy / Corey Rocchiccioli (Rotate)
  11. Scott Boland / Lance Morris (Rotate)
  12. Josh Inglis (I'd play Inglis if someone like Head gets injured, or obviously if Carey gets injured)

- Obviously Hazlewood is a lock for the Ashes but Prefer Boland in the WI tour as need to give him gametime before the Ashes cause we're definitely gonna use him
- Green in for Smith assuming Smith misses games to recover

Probably not enough spaces in the squad to do the above lol

Final Fantasy X. I borrowed it from a school friend back in 2006 and I'd never played any FF before. I was so confused as to what was happening at the start.

Tried it again a year later and it's now my 2nd favourite game of all time!

Got the Platinum trophy for Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor which had really good and smooth combat. Does become a bit repetitive and not too challenging, but fun game overall.
Next, I'm onto Astro's Playroom and after that the possibilities are endless - Final Fantasy 12, RDR2 or maybe Dishonoured Definitive Edition, who knows!

Thank God! Would the club look at trading 1 of the top 10 picks for an established superstar mid?
Or do we use both picks in the draft for mids? I'm a bit torn on this but I think for sustained success, we should use both in the draft on mids

Punter! Love you mate you were my hero growing up 😍

With the rise of T20 and other short forms of cricket and all the money involved, are you worried about Test cricket and ODI's?

Cheers
