Please forgive my ignorance, but living over here there are some things I don't understand.

1. Why don't the selectors pick Adam Tomlinson. Seems he is the most hardly done by player we've had for years.

2. What's happened to socks? We've gone from the red legs to the hairy legs! When did shin pads die! You can hardly see the red these days.

3. How does the utility work in Fantasy Football?

4.When can we get a list replacement for Angus Brayshaw?

Thanks in anticipation.

    Thommo is hard done by. He has the occasional brain fade and i suspect that's why he is seen as a 'break glass in case of emergency' player

    Once the AFL and the club sort out the salary cap repercussions of Angus’ forced retirement, the list place vacated can be filled in the mid season draft (if the club wants to pick someone). 

    The more interesting question is what happens in the case of the player currently under suspension pending completion of the investigation into the charges alleged against him?

    What happens in the event of a player found guilty and suspended for a period beyond the end of his contract? Can the contract be terminated? What happens with his list place?

    Note: these are hypothetical questions and are not related to a particular case.

    The utility spot was introduced cause there's no point having a second bench spot for the ruck position. Now you get to chose another bench player from any position in the utility spot, one who is actually playing and making cash.

    Let’s just stick with the hypothetical and not touch anything under investigation.

    This is what happened when two Collingwood players were tested positive for a substance banned by WADA.

    Great questions - not even 'she who must be obeyed' could possibly answer until the regulations to the AFL Act clarify in a timeframe greater than that of any player in history could survive onfield.

    He is a solid mark and decent defender.

    Not the fastest about but it's hard to break into a team with the players we have.

    I would have picked him to play but at least the clubs being doing ok selection wise lately.

    Feel a tad sorry for Tommo when he gets dropped after a decent game .

    I don't know why they never trialled him fwd at Casey a year ago when the cupboard was well and truly empty.

    The socks is and always was a choice. Apart from ruckmen, no one wears shin pads as they would in soccer (and most of them only wear one). So the socks up was just fashion.

    Mind you I note the premier league players have replaced theirs with stamp size bits of plastic 😂😂

    He didn't finish cleaning Goody's spa when he was supposed to. Also he was asked to put the lawn clippings on the rose garden but he went and put them into the green waste bin instead. Goody was furious.

After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

    • POSTGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons were sloppy all day and could not stop the run and carry of the fast moving Hawthorn as the Hawks cruised to an easy 36 point win. Is the season over yet?
