  1. We will draft a rookie, with McCarthy looking like the most likely.
  2. Yeah with a extra 10 million on the end as a retirement present 🤣
  3. Kirk is a Falcon, 4 year contract, per his agent.
  4. Vikings are saying, see if you can find more money because our offer isn’t moving…it hasn’t done for over a year now. We aren’t in a place to give a aging veteran big guaranteed money for multiple years. It’s up to the Falcons whether they want to better the offer. Offer him a 3 year contract and he’s a Falcon.
  5. If he comes back and plays like he was last season before the injury, he's the best QB in the division by miles.
  6. About 97% sure he's a Falcon.
  7. Winner of worst trade and contract in the history of sport goes to….. The Denver Broncos 🤦‍♂️🤣 Fully expect Russell Wilson to land in Minnesota, with Captain Kirk off to Atlanta.
  8. Interesting quote from Mickey Arthur in his preseason interview. “We’ve invested in our bowling attack and our batters are now at a point where they can play on any surface. I’m not suggesting we suddenly play on green tops, but we can trust Neil (Godrich, Head Groundsman) to give us the sort of pitch which, if we play well enough on it, will give us the opportunity to win games at Derby. Neil is one of us; he’s part of my team, and an important part.” Hopefully a bit more in the pitch for the bowlers this season, and some more interesting cricket at HQ.
  9. I’d imagine Tickner plays, and Donald will be in with a shout.
  10. I just hope he is still sporting the fantastic mustache he had, after we lost Scrimshaw. Every cricket team needs a player with a quality mustache…
  11. “Tickner will be with Derbyshire from the start of the 2024 season until July 4, and will be available for a period which includes nine County Championship games, as well as eight Vitality Blast fixtures.” As suspected, I think it will be a number of overseas players in blocks throughout the season. I like the Tickner signing, made his international debut last year, and can bowl 90mph 😄 Really boosted the bowling ranks with Amir, Chappell, Connners, Brown, Aitchinson, plus the medium pacers and spinners. We need to win games to challenge for promotion, and do that we need to take 20 wickeys, something we've rarely looked like doing the past couple of seasons.
  12. 2 year contract extension for Zak Chappell. Had a good first season, particularly in the T20.
  13. David Lloyd 👀 He’s probably not going to score du Plooy’s volume of runs, but he will get his share, helped by going back into the middle order here rather than opening the batting out of necessity at Glamorgan the last couple of years. Nothing yet. With the T20 world cup running around the same time as T20 blast, it’s probably making things a bit awkward. I much prefer getting a player for the whole season but wouldn't be surprised if it's several players for short stings this season.
