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.

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

I'm actually in the members mate and last night the 2 bars directly behind me both ran out before half time. I literally couldn't believe it they expect 80k get 70 and still run out of puss in the 2nd 1/4 I made a fair bit of noise about it.

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