Firstly, I am as pi55#d off as everyone else by what has happened this week but noting the steam roller that is the AFL tends not to apologise for its [censored] ups at the best of times it is unlikely to happen this time.

So I have been reflecting upon the events of last week end and realised that there is a silver lining to Jacks suspension. If our players are being rubbed out for excessive force in tackling it can mean one thing; we are bulking up and starting to assert ourselves on the rest of the competition. Trengove's tackle aside, I thought the intensity of tackling and pressure on the man placed by our fellows last week was first class, Clint Bartram a particular stand out imho. It was like a snapshot into the near future where our big bodied players are going to cast fear into the hearts of our opposition.

Keep the body conditioning up, keep the intensity at the contest up and play without fear.

This week, do it for Jack, next week just do it!

Go Dees

trengroves tackle aside??? His tackle was first class as well

I guess I meant that all the focus has been on his tackle, it goes without saying that it was first class
