    Rumour 2023 Rumours and Speculation (Rumours total 37!, 1 (busted) BIG FISH ALERT last October 9th) (9 confirmed! 17 Busted!)

    No. A playing contract is a playing contract. There is nothing to stop us from signing him to a multi-year contract, where he is on the rookie list in the 1st year of the contract, and the senior list for subsequent years. We've done it before.

    Rumour 2023 Rumours and Speculation (Rumours total 37!, 1 (busted) BIG FISH ALERT last October 9th) (9 confirmed! 17 Busted!)

    Every player in the MSD has already been overlooked at least 4x - National Draft, Pre-Season Draft, Rookie Draft, Pre-Season Supplementary Period. ... and that's just the players who became eligible for drafting in 2023. Anyone who is older will have been overlooked many, many, more times.

    No, still on the rookie list - along with Hamill, Parnell, and Borlase.

    They lost me with "Kill the Moon", and never got me back again.

    FTA-TV Doctor Who

    I think Capaldi & Whittaker were both great actors... but they were given no chance to shine, with the worst run of scripts the series has ever seen. Nobody could have saved those seasons, and made them watchable.

    3 - Assuming they put the relevant players on the inactive list. Sloane Milera Parnell ** I keep thinking there's a 4th - but I can't remember who.

    2024 Giro D'Italia

    Nah... he finished 9th. He claimed the polka-dot jersey at the end of the stage where he went into the barbed wire, but wasn't able to hold it all the way to Paris. He led the KotM competition after stages 9-11, but Sammy Sanchez was the eventual winner.

    2024 Giro D'Italia

    There's one amazing story coming out of Stage 15 - and it has nothing to do with the GC contenders. Jenthe Biermans (Arkea) messed up one of the bends, while descending the Mortirolo. He ended up 25-30m down a ravine. With help from Alpecin & Intermarche staff, he was able to climb back up to...

    Why are you assuming that there's any truth to the rumour? It smacks of WCE not offering him the offer he wants (I'm guessing contract length being the big issue), so his manager is spinning out misinformation, to try and improve the offer from WCE. I doubt the AFC has shown any interest at all.

    As I see it, the only real question marks are over the 2nd seats at Haas & Williams... and the various permutations, depending on where Sainz lands.

    He's a high quality player, but his body is now on the wrong side of being suspect.

    Rumour 2023 Rumours and Speculation (Rumours total 37!, 1 (busted) BIG FISH ALERT last October 9th) (9 confirmed! 17 Busted!)

    All indications are that the club, under Silvers, identifies high level talent and offers them big bucks. Unfortunately, most of our high profile targets chose to go elsewhere - but the type of player we've been hunting has been top notch (think Cameron & Dusty in recent years). There is no...

    Opinion Non-Crows AFL 10

    I'd suggest the umpires got reamed over the length of his run in the Brisbane game, where he ran the better part of 50m without bouncing the ball. As a result, they were clearly watching for a repeat performance in the Collingwood game, which is why he got pinged when nobody else did. As I...

    F1 2024 Emilia Romagna F1 Grand Prix - Race Weekend Thread

    LeClerc drove away from him, as soon as his tyres started to go off. Sainz was miles off the pace, and never looked like catching Piastri, despite having tyres that were 4 laps younger. His stint after pitting showed just how badly Piastri had been held up, and how hard his own team had ****ed...
