Wasn't sure - felt it was best to play it deadpan and see where you went!

a) Clash jerseys are stupid. If you are at the ground, or own a colour television, and aren't colour blind, and you can't distinguish between teams without them wearing ****house jumpers that piss on 100 years of tradition, then you need to shoot yourself in the kneecaps with a nail gun and just get over it.
b) No, noone is ever going to stand up to Collingwood while we remain the biggest, and most important club in the league and while we have a president and board who know it and act accordingly.
c) Looking forward to the sooking from Kangas or Port about jumper clashes/not being able to wear their SAFL jumpers at the grandfinal.

Mark Bolton interest? I hear he is the reigning best clubmen at Essendon. Could be what West Coast needs to sort out there culture.

Rusling > Judd anyway. 
Just putting it out there. (and in 2008, it may well be true)
Although in seriousness we'd have to give up him or Didak or similar to get Judd, which is why I'm ambivalent about chasing him too hard. I LIKE our current team - second ruckman aside.

If he goes to Collingwood, and to a lesser extent, Essendon, i'll cry.

Feelings mutual with Carlton and Collingwood.
Us or Melbourne or else.......... Retire Judd.

Would need more.
Can't see them wanting the softest player in the AFL. Try Robbo.

BARNES OUT
Can't see them wanting a 30 year old forward who relies on overhead marking with some of the dodgiest knees in the comp either tbh.

Bate, Mclean??? Who else??

BARNES OUT
Everyone else bar Rivers and McClean are bait imo. Give 'em what they want I say, he's exactly what Melbourne need. A massive name and face to lead the club.

Corey and Mooney the only Cats who definitely shouldn't have been in there. Johnson got in because he was the best in his position, although that spot is often reserved for a midfielder who misses out - which they can't do anymore with this pre-announced squad of 40. Egan was a bit of a surprise, but it's good to see them rewarding a CHB who is actually a defender first, rather than those who are nominally a backman but are more likely to be seen frolicking in a nightclub before a game than with an opponent.
Ablett and Bartel had to make it. Ling and Scarlett were "should make its". Milburn has been no better this year than other years, but I think it was a bit of a "You've been good over a long time and have been stiff in previous years" guernsey. Pretty much the same for Dustin Fletcher.
Brown and Pavlich's positions are out of whack.

Yeah I was a bit "hmm" at Pav in the square.

Melbourne will look to trade Johnstone to another club for a pick to on-trade to WC. No-one would offer a first round for him though, which is what WC will want. Two first round draft picks, and maybe Sylvia or Newton (depends on how highly they rate Newton).
Essendon have no bargaining chips. They're paying again for Sheedy's self-preservation. Carlton could well kill all its development if it sacrifices too much for Judd. I wouldn't be surprised at all to see the deal include some involvement with Richmond's pick in the Pre Season draft.

We have plenty, what are you talking about? Pick 6 is a start and then we have a few players who could command top picks if WC arent interested.

Would take him for the right price, would add some class to our midfield. Wouldn't give up a 1st or 2nd round pick though, maybe a 3rd round pick + Sansbury or Brown. How old is he, 26-27?
