Yep.
The Minister for War and Finance had to visit the dentist this morning, so I had to drive her to the train station afterwards so she could go to work because the parking options at that time would be zero.
She told me she'll call me when she is nearing the station from the train so I can go and pick her up.
"What time?" said I
"Whenever" said she
"Well I will be sitting my ass in front of the TV to watch the draft between 6:30 and 8, so u better work around it"
She then gave me the 'you gotta be joking?' look.
I countered with the 'do I bloody well look like I'm joking?' look.
She just called to say she'll be home by 6.

and she's thinking "a footy draft is that important? but he looks serious so I'd better get home by 6 or he may not answer my pick up phone call after 6.30"
Latest mail on the AFL site could see both Lucas and Jetta being available at pick 14, what a dilemma that would be. Think I'd go the father-son option with Lucas.Comment

Enjoy the night,
The Minister for War & Finance in my region wont be in parliament tonight. Backbenchers will also be out, so I've got the TV to myself. Heaven.Comment

Hmmm...I like that term, but imho the best - and most apt - is "The Leader of the Opposition".
It'd be great to have a Speaker to shout "order, order" when TLOTO starts making baseless attacks (or worse, attacks with solid basis) on me (ie, the PM), or requests a policy / procedure change, or wants funding for their specific electorate, or - even worse - threatens to block supply!
It depends I guess on whether TLOTO has a supportive upper house. I end up having to do a bit of pork-barrelling.Insert Your Life [HERE]Comment

Roos says it's Rohan at 6, and is confident he'll slip to us.
However, never underestimate his ability to play a li'l game with the media. The fact that he's gone public with this suggests one of two things:
a) He really does have reliable information to suggest that the Roos and Freo are locked in.
b) He rates one of Morabito or Cunnington (I expect the former) significantly higher than Rohan, and so is playing a 'go on-- I dare ya!' double-bluff game, probably with Freo.
Remember that we offered Richmond picks 6 and 14 in exchange for 3. You wouldn't do that in the abstract (wouldn't make sense if the player you'd get at 6 would be even reasonably similar in quality to the one you'd get at 3). The offer can only mean that we regarded a particular player (presumably Martin and/or Morabito) well above the range of players we expected would be available at 6.Comment

Maybe you're playing games with us, which would mean Roos is playing games, but then again I could be playing games with all of you making it more likely that you're playing a straight bat.Comment

Jetta history
What is the reason for Jetta only just hitting the draft at age 20? Did he get looked over in the past? Is he a late bloomer or were there other issues that stopped him applying/being eligible. Apologies if its already covered but I haven't seen anything on it.Comment

Jetta history was reported in Real Footy.
