I have a feeling there is a special birthday here today.
This guy possibly wants to keep it quite and under the radar, so I will keep it cryptic.

The first letter of his name begins with the letter ...... PHILZSAY

Happy birthday great man. Hope it's been a ripper.

Happy Birthday Philzsay. Always enjoy your posts.

Is it a significant number because you have written some great reflective posts in the Captains thread?

apparently Western Bulldogs offering Lever $4 million for 5 years.

So if Boyd is on close to $ 1 million a season does not leave much for the rest of them.

What the hell is Bont , Dahl , Macrae , Stronger etc etc on

must have some very clever accountants or still shonky books being operated.

Jake Lever was our first draft pick in 2014 the year Ben Rutten retired. I reckon the club will move heaven and earth to retain him because he was recruited to be a rock in our defence. I reckon he's our marquee best defender along with Talia. My call is the club won't hesitate offer him a sweet deal.

looked a 200 game player and future captain from the time if his debut.

I doubt Walker or Sloane are even close to $800,000.00 a season so if true be very curious to see what they offer him.

Thanks Gents!

I suppose I have facebook to blame for the leaking of this news, had the other Mods onto this earlier this morning as well!! Not a significant number, just a regular number and day enjoyed with the kids, wife and family. All have gone to bed now so get to enjoy the Tour on telly, and a bit of SC thinking of course :)

Another example of a reporter for the AFL website having no clue about football.

Check out the picture of a player from Geelong's VFL team 'Sam Dobson'. Look familiar? I put it to you all that he is actually a current AFL listed player for Geelong and not Sam Dobson at all..

Speaking of the media, Tom Jonas yesterday wrote an article having a crack at the media for the amount of mistakes they make....

Currently holidaying in the US and just attended NBA Summer League semi finals in Las Vegas with Lakers (with Lonzo Ball) playing Dallas. None other than Magic Johnson was in the crowd. Big thrill!!!

Not caught much of it at all this year but just close it down then.
Front Bar probably kicking it's arse I suspect.

perhaps they should go back and start talking about the actual game, matches and news instead of stroking each other's egos

why current players even go on it anymore is beyond me, get introduced talk for a minute or so and then essentially sit there twiddling their thumbs listening to Sam go on and on and on and on

lived in Sydney for a few years, not a huge following of NRL, but actually enjoyed their Footy Show as they actually focused on the game and issues and their entertainment was good.
