Former Collingwood recruiter Matt Rendell says Bulldogs ruckman Tim English would have been a Magpie, were it not for a misunderstanding.
A towering talent from the West Australian wheat belt, English was drafted to Whitten Oval with a first round selection five years ago.
He could have pulled on the black and white 12 months earlier, however.
“If you’re a Collingwood supporter, you’ll want to turn off for about two minutes,” Rendell told
SEN’s Dwayne’s World on Thursday afternoon.
“Tim English went to a Catholic school in Perth, and one of our part-time recruiters was a teacher there.
A Perth plumber has built an epic floating bar that can hold six adults and a full esky of beer, perfect for hot days on the water.
The boat, appropriately named Bottoms Up , was created for Australia Day festivities to provide one man and his group of mates the perfect opportunity to sink some cans while relaxing in the sun.
Mark Quattrini told PerthNow the group christened the vessel on Tuesday to enjoy some well-earned beverages.
Doesn t get much better: The friends enjoyed their well earned drinks aboard the floating bar on a sand bar at South Fremantle It was a great Australia Day, we spent it on the sand bar there at South Fremantle and had a few drinks and that. It worked really well, it was great.

Free agency is one of the most contentious concepts in the AFL in recent times, with such inequities as Tom Lynch walking to the powerful Richmond club from an expansion franchise seemingly powerless to prevent it. Or were they?
What if the Suns had matched the bid on their co-captain, forcing the Tigers into a trade?
That was the scenario facing the Greater Western Sydney Giants when Geelong came calling for former local junior and 2019 Coleman Medallist Jeremy Cameron, but they didn’t flinch, matching the offer and figuratively punching the bullies of free agency with a straight left they never saw coming.

To mark that, we have gone through each club’s last five drafts to determine your club’s best selection.
This could be the best player they’ve drafted or the best value pick-up, depending on the club.
Obviously, we have left out the players selected this year.
See our thoughts below:
Pick 17, 2015
It took Tom Doedee until 2018 to debut but it was worth the wait as he produced a stellar first season at the elite level, playing 20 games, finishing sixth in the best and fairest and gaining a spot in the 22Under22 side.
