    I'm with you on Lloyd. COR is an obvious replacement, ready and waiting to play. He's ready, and if he spends most of next season playing NEAFL he is well within his rights to start looking at opportunities at other clubs. He wasn't actually dropped after his third game - he was injured. And then by the time he was ready to resume, McVeigh was back in the senior side. I'd have played him late in the season in place of Newman but, with a fair number of other very inexperienced players in the side, I can understand why the selectors went with the somewhat more experienced Newman.

    I still don't see Lloyd ending up at Gold Coast, though, if he does leave. He just doesn't seem to be the kind of player they need as a priority. I think he's a good link/role player in a decent to good side, but he doesn't win much of his own ball or apply a lot of pressure.

    Instagram with a great photo of Luke & Josh leading the boys out on to the field. So let’s park the Parker story.

    Age is not a very good excuse aardvark. I don’t consider myself too old and I don’t Tweet the Insta-Face-Chat thing either!

    All good mate, no apology necessary! Was just directing people to the right spot. A Luke Parker search on Twitter dredges up a whole heap of crap about him supposedly wanting to leave, along with the good news. But his Insta post is well worth looking at directly as there’s a bit of banter from other senior players...
