OUTS

Toumpas Spencer Brayshaw

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.

[Nasher 33,617]

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.

[La Dee-vina Comedia 16,906]

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.

he won't be traded. no chance.

[Moneider96 1,045]

Do NOT drop ANB. I can seriously see him building into a good player. Hopefully he will have a breakout game this week.

Fookin hell. Brayshaw just had a rest for the last two weeks. If he's not injured, then play him. Edited July 8, 2015 by Moneider96

[chook fowler 19,519]

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.

[The Song Formerly Known As 6,479]

You are correct who would want to make an offer.

[Skuit 10,031]

This isn't Nuremburg. Leadership is taking a stand. He had a responsibility to the young players like everyone else if not in ways moreso.

[Curry & Beer 5,444]

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

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
