if its not Harley Reid this week I'll eat my hat

My hat is safe, will be a popular one I think

I forgot to grab a few Harley's. Can't go wrong. My tip is a print run close to 1000.

1008 to be exact. I got number 0004

So they gave him another one...



I spaced and missed out, but he's going to get a few of these.

It's a bit much given Yeo also had a great game and was awarded the Glendinning medal.

But hype sells I guess.

That was his breakout game. But also a Select business decision.

I thought he would get the treatment many no.1 picks get when they go to a team that has bottomed out( ground down by the weight of expectation ) but he's better than most number one picks and the Eagles are too good a club to stay down the bottom for long. If they hit another decent one in this year's draft they should rise quickly. But probably not as quickly as the team in the early 2000's when they drafted Judd. They already had Cousins and Kerr when Judd came. Nothing like that calibre there right now which makes Read's performances even better.

Brownlow medal winner in the making.

My two just arrived at the office

the market for this kid's draft pick signature (when released) is going to be wild
good times are a coming! (and expensive times for W.C collectors)

I usually get two copies of the player most likely to win it but didn't do it this year.

I did everyone a favour - I would've bumped up the print run to 1010!

3 up this week, gotta make up for Harley being rested

I'm hanging out for Jeremy Cameron to get a Cats Hilites card. Just one Select please.

The more I look at that Jamie Eilliott card, the more I kinda want it. Great photo of a spectacular mark, and reminds me a little of the old Cazaly Classics cards.

I'm gonna get a Jamie Elliott. The mark is great and the blank expressions of the Bombers fans in the background make it even better.
