          No, but I was once McVeigh's beard, but he dumped me for a pretty face from Hawthorn.

                Means we go into 2018 with a strong list; no disruption which is good for list management. Good development and recruiting is all that is needed for the team to go into 2018 with a lot of confidence.

                    I think it's great news that Sam has resigned. I rate him highly as a very smart footballer.

                    Remember he game a few years ago which ended in a draw when Sam clunked a mark in the last line of defense? Horse pointed out at the time how smart it was. Ordinarily a punch would be the way to go rather than risk being outmarked, but with scores level and even a point meaning we'd lose the match, a mark was the best option to prevent any score and losing all four premiership points.

                    That he's also able to hurt teams in a serious way when he plays forward is added value, so I reckon this is terrific news.

                    And as others have pointed out, it shows something really positive about the club and its culture and how that is valued by the players. Very encouraging.

                      It will be interesting to see how we play the trade period now.

                      Will we try and wheel and deal a bit? Would any of our under contract players attract bids? Aliir will for sure, Tippett may but I suspect that any suitor will want a big discount on his salary. Rose perhaps but he wouldn't have a lot of currency.

                      Personally I'd be happy enough to take our three draft picks and look for young midfield talent because I think all our other areas are looking very solid.

                          It would make you punch drunk I suppose.

                              I agree. That wonderful Jetta gallop down the ANZ plus goal in the 2012 PF v Collingwood was started by a very clever tap over the top from Reid to Hannebery (and then Hannebery handball to Jetta).

                                How do RWO-ers feel about the possibility of Aliir's leaving? I think it was Ludwig who commented that Aliir's game on Saturday was his worst for three years. He's certainly been overtaken, and, from what I gather from RWO comments, he's lost ground rather than gained it this year.

                                So is there a consensus about his current value to us?
