Personally I don't feel the need for endless 4-6 weeks and have no problem with short/long term. 

And as for ALL players being forced to see the media.- I hate that.    Imagine how that could affect a bloke going through some personal probems etc - getting asked all sorts of slimy questions so some self-styed journalist can big note themselves.

Overreaction Sue. Players can handle the questions with skill and it makes all players much more valuable and approachable to learn how to cope with the media.  Very few situations that you have quoted and shares the learning of basic skills as growth for individuals.

Bowey will be a loss. 
 

TMCD AND BBB  - can they contribute??

Fullerton and Pickett back v dogs 

Petty in v hawks 

mcadam target for round 4. 
 

depth is now not a big asset.  We get very skinny with youngsters.

You'd be right except for the fact that who knows which players are in those 'very few'.  It's one thing to expect players to be available, it's another to make it complusory.

Ouch. McAdam looked good in training sessions. We need Petty, Pickett and McAdam into our forward structure.  Fritsch and JVR (still very raw) cannot be the only target goalkickers.  We got blanks from Schache, Chandler, Spargo and ANB.

Chandler needs to show some of that great footy he played early in the season last year. He's got the talent but something's off kilter.

Does anyone know the deal with Joel Smith?  The AFL seems to have no clue as usual. Can he play or not.

No doubt the AFL are making it up on the run - it is their way.

God I hope they are being conservative with it

I'd do my na-na of he did it again first game back

It’s important to remember that the injury that interrupted the last few weeks of pre-season was a toe injury in his other foot to the one he injured last year.
 

His injured foot has been good to go for a while now and has held up throughout the rehab period for his more recent toe injury.

I'll leave it at, he's unavailable for the foreseeable future.
