I'm all Toumped out, could we please have a Toump free weekend.

can't work out if Spencer's mind is 2sec behind or in front of his body, either way i've seen enough.

Much like Jetta Gus won't be risked.

INS whoever gets the all clear to play

Toump probably won't influence the end result and will play to maximise his trade value at the end of the year. It wasn't a mistake to draft him, but it will be to keep him while he still has some value. I agree that Brayshaw will be rested. VanDENBERG straight back in would be a big call, but if it's wet I can see Reilly and Mitchie/Newton being called in to give us more grunt around the stoppages.

Yes but he is having surgery so there must be a problem.

I hate Essendon as a club but I think Watson is a quality person and player.

Quality person?

I've got no idea why I'm getting all these injections.

Homer - hello I'm Mr Burns, I believe you have you have a letter for me.

Post office worker - Ok Mr Burns what's your first name?

Homer - (pauses, blank look on his face) I don't know.

He's no leader.

What would you take for Toump? I'd be happy with a second round pick.

Well the market will dictate, but that sounds about right in terms of picks, but knowing Roos it will more likely be another player.

He was suggesting that JW's pretense of being oblivious to the cheating that was going on his body is akin to HS's 'playing dumb' when asked for his first name.

I think ANB is a better player than JKH and gives us more.

Yeah when I actually did it up I thought it was actually a really good team that we could put on the field.

Agreed. Spencer, Jones and Bail for Grimes, Lumumba and vandenBerg for mine.

Alternative if the powers that be seem that Grimes and vandenBerg need a run in the VFL first: Spencer and Bail for Lumumba and Harmes.

Mix and match for any combinations of the above.

I have no interest in seeing Stretch or ANB in the VFL. As the season goes on and they tire I'd look at it, but at present they are incrementally improving and getting plenty out of playing in the seniors.

I watched the St Kilda game and he didn't appear to be visibly carrying a crook shoulder unlike Gary Ablett with all the grimacing and angst with his shoulder when he's played this year. Not even bandaged and taped up that I could see as seems regulation for shoulder niggles. He was quoted as being a 100% fit for this game.

The alternative explanation is that Watson is as tough as they come and didn't want to show any pain or discomfort.

(Is it possible to have a shoulder injury which needs surgery but which doesn't cause any pain or discomfort? Webber - are you able to help here? )

I was suggesting the pretence of being oblivious to the reference because it was so unrelated.

Fookin hell. Brayshaw just had a rest for the last two weeks. If he's not injured, then play him. Edited by Moneider96

Jobe would have been in an untenable position when as Captain he would have been expected to comply with a regime endorsed by his coach and fitness dept.

You could accuse him of naivety but not poor character. Up until now his on field leadership has been impeccable, so much so that he was mooted as all Australian captain.

Hird and Doc Reid are the ones to be held accountable.

but that rest was BEFORE the concussion. I agree, but the pattern of the year suggests Roos rests players who aren't cherry ripe.. Jetta got a concussion and missed 3 matches

    GAMEDAY: Rd 15 vs North Melbourne

    It's Game Day and it very well could be the last roll of the dice for the Demon's finals aspirations in 2024. A loss to the bottom side would be another embarrassing moment in a cursed year for the Dees whilst a win could be the spark they need to reignite the fire in the belly.

    THE HUNTER by The Oracle

    Something struck me as I sat on the couch watching the tragedy of North Melbourne’s attempt to beat Collingwood unfold on Sunday afternoon at the MCG.    It was three quarter time, the scoreboard had the Pies on 12.7.79, a respectable 63.16% in terms of goal kicking ratio. Meanwhile, the Roos’ 18.2.110 was off the charts at 90.00% shooting accuracy. I was thinking at the same time of Melbourne’s final score only six days before, a woeful 6.15.51 or 28.57% against Collingwood’s 14.5.89

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t

    TURNAROUND by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons won their first game at home this year in the traditional King’s Birthday Weekend clash with Collingwood VFL on Sunday in a dramatic turnaround on recent form that breathed new life into the beleaguered club’s season. The Demons led from the start to record a 52-point victory. It was their highest score and biggest winning margin by far for the 2024 season. Under cloudy but calm conditions for Casey Fields, the home side, wearing the old Springvale guernsey as a mark of res

    After two disappointing back to back losses the Demons have the bye in Round 14 and then face perennial cellar dweller North Melbourne at the MCG on Saturday night in Round 15. Who comes in and who goes out?
