Or when he has players who can consistently run to the areas he is tapping to before opponents do.

That would be the our defensive side of the centre bounce?

I'm seriously hoping we can win on Sunday and watching Crossys retirement speech I'd say the boys will be too. PJ communicated the goal to win 7 games and is another reason we'll be up for this game, not to mention a win will likely have us above the Saints and we finish the season on a positive note. Will Mark improve our side on the weekend?

I farewelled him at the beginning of the year.

NM, for example, will rove to taps of opposing ruckmen when Goldstein is being beaten.

But they won't just do that - they will see where Jones is going and literally use his momentum to get to the spot that Jones was headed for.

We are that predictable, and essentially it comes down to a lack of better options.

Yep. I was being a bit facetious. I rate max. The problem is how poor our midfield is.

Still a chance:

AFL advises Jake Spencer (concussion), Neville Jetta (calf) have withdrawn from 25 v GWS. Mark Jamar, Matt Jones into 25. 22 set later today

Matt far King Jones. God help us.

Ah...,the plot thickens.

I was going to say that the selectors said NYET, but now this twist.

Maybe we secretly asked permission from the Integrity Commissioner* (LOL) to play games with our team too.

*just cannot control my laughter when I read this position as being part of the AFL

quite frankly I reckon Gawny's got Jamar covered now.. Mark ...expert at tapping to feet.. Gawny..strangely taps to a player....just saying

... always thought he had some flamenco in him blzb, never really believed he was all Rusky...

So he got named as emergency, maybe they'll keep him on for one more year and trade Spence? Or they are just being heartless....
