It is time to take a break after the conclusion of what some have said has been the maddest most stressful trade week yet.Which saw the valuable Sam Baker being traded to Qantas Vacations for an early draft choice. Many were surprised of Samuels departure, after nominating himself to go to Qantas Vacations he stated that he was a career player and moving to Qantas Vacations was in the best interests for himself and his family.Even after these comments Sam still departed the club on good terms, and states that he has made many good friends here whom he will keep in touch with, but it was just time to move on.After a disappointing season (most likely due to the "Big A medallion hangover") Strugglestreet has off loaded Tim Healy to the Tasmanian police force, a smart move as the police have agreed to take on the ailing Heals and pay most of his contract.With the room on the list Strugglestreet is looking to ensure its future by promoting Bill Bowles from the rookie list and through the Brother-Brother rule has gone out on a limb to draft the young Jake "The Snake" Bowles whom has snared himself a rookie contract.Jamie Lashmar is to return to the club, after being picked up with a final round draft choice andPaul Reynolds and Tim Palfreyman will be taken off the long term injury list in early pre-season.
There was the usual talk, where the Destitute was put on the table, not surprisingly no one was interested even though Strugglestreet agreed to pay out his full contract if someone were to take him.Mark Percy will again for the fifth year in a row make himself available for the draft, in hope to find himself a home.
Although showing promise early in the season a disappointing Unsworth was put up as trade bait, with Strugglestreet keen to obtain the services of the ever reliable Toddy Appleton.There were utterings of a three way trade at one stage, with Apples to go the Great8 for Wizza and Unsy to go to the Great8 for Apples, Chris Bowles was even in the mix, however this did not eventuate as there was uncertainty about the intentions of Hoggy.There was talk early on that Strugglestreet was going to obtain the popular Thomas Murray, however again this deal fell through with Strugglestreet not prepared to offer sufficient trade bait. Strugglestreet were extremely keen to snare the services of Jon Darby, however negotioations with his management broke down as Strugglestreet could simply not afford the man whom his management describe him as being pound for pound the best bloke in Hobart.

Two families move from India to Australia. When they arrive the two fathers make a bet in a year's time whichever family has become more Australian will win. A year later they meet again:
The first man says, "My son is playing AFL, I had a meat pie with sauce for breakfast and I'm on my way to pick up a case of VB, how about you?"
The second man replies, "Fuck off, you curry muncher"
