10 News just reported news of a mystery neck injury likely to keep our skipper out for some time , thus forcing the decision that the coaching panel seemed unwilling to make .

it's so wrong, but i'm happy we won't have the skipper playing. our forward line was dysfunctional with neitz in it, atleast now we'll get a chance to develop a forward line that we can persist with for the future.

If i were coach my fowrad line would be:

Davey, Bate, Green

Newton, Robbo, Wonemirri

That's atleast a versatile forward line. Robbo and Newton can take a grab. Bate and Green can make strong meaningful leads. Davey and Wonemirri provide the excitment and forward pressure.

I'd also be willing to try Dunn at CHF, Miller across half forward, and i'd like to blood Maric into the forward line sooner rather than later.

(btw- Sylvia should play midfield!!! if he's not fit, give him a go across half back. he's played 40 games across half forward and has done nothing in all but a couple of games. atleast give him a go in the gutz!)

Its a case of creating a story out of pure guesswork

Journalist one day Doctor the Next

Journalist one day Mind Reader the Next

Its been going on since Moses played Centre Half Back for Egypt

I take 0 notice of journalists that make comments about the football department of football clubs

they seem to like having the Caroism,s preceed every story like *it is reported* *allegedly* *i have heard* *my sources say*

maybe they could compile a book and get it forwarded by Murray Walker

Is it any wonder why the best reporters actually played

"He had a neck [injury]. He's had a little bit of it every now and then when he gets a stinger, but there is something in the back of his neck that hasn't really been a problem and that was the reason he sat out the rest of the game," coach Dean Bailey said.

"He can take a fair bit of pain, the big fella, so it must be fairly serious for him not to come back on.

"Sometimes those types of things can take three of four minutes before they release and unfortunately his didn't release to a level where the docs could say he could come back on."
