You've got to feel for the Kangaroos.

After Carey's comments and now what appears may be the end of Thompsons year i think its safe to say Laidley will be lucky to see the season out as head coach.

With Lenny Hayes getting reported and possibly joining an extremely long list of best 22 players unavailable for the Saints in round 1 i expect us to crush them.

More than likely they will be without, Hudghton, L.Fisher, Maguire (50-50), Gardiner, Hayes, Riewoldt, Kosi (50-50) and Hamill. All of them would be in their best 22 and contains 5 of their starting spine. Bring on round 1, we are about to hand out a spanking

what were careys comments?

[maximum bob 462]

what were careys comments?

Basically get rid of Laidley.

Basically get rid of Laidley.

Carey's not the only one with that view. There are a few northerners who are not happy with the way their side dies in the backside after holding a 37 point lead halfway through the third quarter and with Laidley's casual response to it all.

Meanwhile, it seems Hayes is in trouble. He had a 50m penalty awarded against him in the incident, it was a high contact tackle and he has form.

This is tragic for Thommo

Lets hope it doesn't trigger a flashback to his depression days.

He seems like a top bloke on the Footy Show.

All the best for a speedy return to The AFL

Agree OMR.

Laidley also has a running dispute with a Kangas Board member.

Clock ticks, the bell tolls............

Are you certain all those guys aren't playing? I was under the impression that Riewoldt was going to be ok for round 1. And what's wrong with Gardiner? Plus the article states that Kosi got through the game ok and Maguire did too. I know you said 50-50 for those two, but I'm sure they'll play. Hayes is not suspended as yet and I heard on SEN that it wasn't much and he'll probably get off with a reprimand.

And let's not get too cocky after last year's Carlton debacle!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Jaded No More 68,974]

Absolutely terrible news for Thompson and the Kangaroos!

It makes you realise how quickly your season can come unstuck.

We just have one more practice game to get through, and I hope that we can make it out of Geelong unhurt and unreported.

You're right, we shouldn't count our chickens before they're hatched because according to the papers, a few of those blokes will be available for round 1 - including Riewoldt and Koschitzke.

Irrespective, we have to beat whoever they put out there and we have a habit of fluffing the ones where the opportunity appears to be the greatest. AS Pringle pointed out - we lost to Carlton twice last year.
