They'll probably win it

I Agree. They Will win the minor premiership (I assume thats what you mean).

Because the Dees best, the Tiges best, the Blues best (with full defensive unit) and even Freo will address the Cats weaknesses in the finals on a larger ground.

Again.

Dees were within a goal with 10 minutes to play and with poor performances and structure .  The Lions win tells me we still have it, just that its got to come together perfectly. 

And Hawkins/Cameron can be managed.

1990 Darren Millane.  Played the last month of the season with it.  Every game he re broke it. Plastered it up during the week, played the next game with it strapped up.  Never been a fan of anything black and white but that was the most amazing thing I've ever seen.  He was still marking the ball and playing incredible footy.  Was a huge reason they broke the 32 year drought.  Oliver has Millane - like courage.

Broken sounds bad but maybe  hairline which I suspect given they plan to miss 1 week with him.

Time for a magic glove.  Jimmy played with a broken hand.  Surely a thumb is not that important 😉

Incorrect Spirit, a broken thumb is the worse of any of the digit breaks and I should know as I have had two of them. Your thumb is pivotal to grasping ,hance the inconvenience and pain.

The thumb is critical for a player like Oliver as he handballs so much and for 'touch' for his many possessions.

But then, an 80% Oliver is far better than not having him play at all. 

He is tough and he won't even flinch as long as opp players don't target his hand.

He will just have to kick more than handball.

Hey picket. My comment was tongue in cheek hence the winking emoji.  Yes I agree and think he’ll probably miss at least the NT game v Port 😭

There’s a thought … he’s usually a 30% kick player (70% handballs) due to his close contested footy game. But would love to see him ultimately kick a helluva lot more

I can’t stand Selwood but anyone who thinks this is deliberate is clearly delusional. It was a footy act. Stupid and careless yes, and the free was paid. 
 

If we play them again, then we will remember.

Your reasoning seems a tad contradictory but when I played footy there was very little kicking but a bit of fighting . I think in hindsight  I have seen said player do similar things before.

What's worse,  kicking like you have done/ did before or scratching your opponents eyes out. Different opponent and different culprit  hmm. What would the winger/ mouth be saying. AFL do something. You can bet on it.

Instead the nose would have gone in and thanked the maggots and especially  No23.

I think Clarry will be fine if he keeps off his thumb for a week or so and avoids all hitch-hiking.

He can hitch with the other hand you know.

If he loses by 1 vote there will be outrage! If a kicking in danger free was paid, why wouldnt the match review panel charge Selwood with reckless and negligent conduct causing injury? Clarry misses a week, so too should Selwood.😡

You weren't the caller to SEN yesterday afternoon that Derwayne Russell cut off after they suggested exactly that, Picket? 😁

.... and also pivotal to hand balling (unless you play for Footscray or Geelong when you just throw it)

Which hand was injured?

Are you saying that in respect of the GFC, notwithstanding  they have redeeming features - nevertheless , overall, in consideration, in your mind, the negatives outweigh the positives ?

A coincidence that Duckwood just happened to break a bone of the best player in the league? Of course it’s not.

Cats are the experts at making malicious acts look like accidents.

I can only remember when Stephen King decided to have a leg swipe in a ruck contest against Jeff White.  Result?  Jeff White has metal plates put in his face.  Tom Hawkins throws an errant elbow and breaks Maysie's eye socket.  Last year, Hawkins again pushes Maysie in the back and his hammy goes.

......And now this with Clarrie.  Where is the duty of care?

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

Roos Coach Darren Crocker has assembled a team chock-full of competitive and highly skilful players who outclassed the Brisbane Lions in the Grand Final to remain undefeated throughout Season 9. A huge achievement in what was a dominant season by North. For Melbourne fans, the season was unfortunately one of frustration and disappointment
