What got me on the Trenners incident (and now Oliver's) is that it was ok right up until the time he did the tackle and from that day on it wasn't.

It seems to me the AFL plays catch up. "that was bad and we'll suspend you and from here on in anyone who does it gets suspended".

I have no problem with what Oliver did being paraded to all clubs and say " if you sling , irrespective of hands free or not, irrespective of injury or not - then there is a danger of injury and we will cite these incidents".From today on - not acceptable. However unless the clubs have already been informed of this then this is a precedent setting suspension.

( the sad part is , that I knew it would be looked at and possible of a suspension fine as the AFL has a history of suspending first and setting the ground rules around the action second)

Is it paranoia if they actually are out to get you?

They do love their 'test cases' to be tried on the 'lesser clubs'.   Imagine had any of those unprecedented cases been against a Collingwood player - just would not have happened.

If my memory serves me correctly, our Allen Jakovich was the one and only player ever suspended for wrestling, and that in a practice match.

Agree.  That for a change they didn't suspend first and announce policy later is one small positive in this.

Gees mfc 

who is responsible for issuing player numbers at the club??? 

 

Do do they understand the anxiety spike that occurs when I see a red head in number 13 grabbing the ball in the middle!!!

I DGAF what number he wears as long as he keeps playing the way he is, he is a serious chance at rising star

Was fantastic around the contest again. 

He needs to learn to stay down more as a forward and crumb, he won't be taking pack marks from out of position too often (he might from a nice sit!).

Plus cramping (and spewing up) after 71% TOG is a worry as well. 

His spot in round 1 will be determined mainly by whether the coaches think he has the fitness. Form wise he's done enough already

Looks very very good. And I have found out over the years that most of the time, first impressions are correct. Looks a real bull around the ball.

He was the main positive out of today. 9 contested possessions, showed he can take a mark and most importantly looks so comfortable at afl level on the ball or smashing someone is a tackle. 

If he stays fit he will play 15 games plus. 

Wont be long til he has the best handball in the team

I mean only in terms of his readiness for AFL. Long term it was great to see a kid push himself to exhaustion. 

He's got the fitness to run out 70% of a shortened practice match against mainly a 2nds side. 

How is that not of some concern to whether he's ready to take on a super fit GWS midfield.

He will be a player Clarrie, personally I think he would be given more time in the magoos. We shouldn't need a newly drafted player in the first game of the season. Let him get the fitness up and keep assessing each week.

Yes and no. If he is ready and best 22, he plays. Much like Brayshaw did last year.

He's had less than one pre season & it was a 30 degree day. It's hardly a concern. I'd say it's a good sign he can get that much out of himself already when you take into account he's probably only trained for 12 weeks as a pro.

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.
