Scanlans Footy Card Week

Keep Whitnall. If the 'career issues' include the captaincy, and if Kouta genuinely wants to pack it in, offer it and tell Nick Stevens to wait his bloody turn.

If Richmond or anybody else offer half a dozen stubbies for Brendan Fevola, specify they have to be Crownies and try and push them up to a dozen but otherwise FFS TAKE THE OFFER! (Not that I think it's likely. Richmond might have been the AFL's answer to the People's Front of Judea for most of the last 25 years but even they would realise they already have as many hot-cold prima-donna full-forwards with fragile confidence and four-letter body language as they are ever likely to want.)

Do you intend entering the Hay or Polak stalls at all? If you've left them too late, offer pick 52 or 66 for Jade Rawlings. We'll need a couple of ruckmen and midfielders for 2008, but we need a CHB for game 1 in 06. God knows why you didn't go after him harder back in 2003 when we were chasing everything that moved. I know he flopped badly at the Dogs but he wouldn't be the first bloke ever to do diddly-squat at his second club and succeed at his third.

Campo and Lappin: Please yourself.
