“Big Red” returns, this time for the Magpies

Lance Whitnall returned to the park yesterday in Magpie colors, he stepped out for Northern Territory side Palmeston. From all reports he went OK, so he should I suppose. Kicked 3 goals and helped them to an easy win over NightCliff 18.19 (127) to 7.9 (51). I am sure he will attract a great deal of attention for local clubs here in Melbourne and probably attract some good coin as well.

Where will be play in 2008? Maybe he and his brother will go somewhere as a package deal. Maybe that should be on the list of things you won’t see in 2008.

In a press release that was released by Collingwood Football Club yesterday outlining the clubs highlights for the 2007 season, on top of the list was the top four finish, the second was beating Carlton twice OUCH !!

You would expect Carlton to come out swinging with a response, on their list you would think that stealing Greg Swan and beating Collingwood to Chris Judd to be high up.
