Yea good point Mattpoet
He would be a perfect leader and role model and very versatile being able to play a number of positions.
I was under the impression that each Club would be forced to play some of their top earning players.

I think the club would be perfectly ok with being fined over not playing any of our top guys. It was clear last season Bellamy doesn't give a crap about it.

If only one of top four you'd have to think Chambers or Bromwich to lead the side.

Hinchy and Chambers can go have a holiday. No one else is worth the risk.

Top 5 would probably include Chambers, Jesse and Proctor. No idea though.
I dont mind the risk. Would love to see them all play

Top 5 would be Cam, Billy, Coops and I'm going to say probably Jesse and KP considering they have signed more recently and with more public suitors than Will.

Yep. .. send the 20s for all I care - the chance of winning the money isn't worth the risk to the players....... sucks that two top guys have to go - they should allow teams to use a Fittler or a Geyer as one of their top players. ...a blast from the past that can still go is surely a bigger draw than a bloke you get to see week in, week out plus rep games etc. ... especially when there's every possibility the player picks up an injury, then the fans are robbed of seeing the stars play when they should be at their best.

Tickets are worth $700 I couldn't say no

Got cheap flights over even with 2 weeks to go...I'm spending more on my flights to brissie later in the year which is crazy

And somehow managed to book accommodations 5 minutes from the ground and it's not expensive at all which is crazy so now I'm really excited and I don't even care if we win...just wanna expirence it all
