The risks around concussion are well known. He's a grown adult. He can make his own decisions.

Many sportspeople are banged up post career. I haven't heard too many of them say they regret punishing their body or would make different decisions if they had their time over.

 

Shaun Smith?

First time in my entire life, I don’t want to go to the footy! The AFL, the big clubs, the corrupt system, the umpires etc. Rules for some and not others. It’s shameful, biased and dishonest. 

Feel exactly the same. I have a reserved seat .Seriously thinking of giving it the flick.And not rejoining the club.

I regularly speak to another Dees supporter at our games , who has to accompany his wife to watch some Carlton games.As she is a Blues supporter, and for some reason drags him along! He says,

based on what he seen this year , we should beat them easily.

We have the picks 

We have the goal kicking coach

Perhaps Haroldo would prefer life out of the Carlton spotlight...

I would take him.Big unit. 

Toby Bedford kicked a goal for GWS

this is gil's legacy - started with the goodes booing racism scandal, ended with hawthorn's racism investigation scandal

Absolutely - he has a lot to answer for.

I reckon you're being a bit tough on him. He had 10 possessions and 210m gained. He's not a showy player. Just plays his role and contributes to team performance.

What’s this “210 m gained” stat ? Another American sport stat creeping into the game of Aussie Rules ?

K.Turner and Verrall, have been increasing their work load, Kyle more so than Verrall.

I have forgotten - why did we recruit Verrall? How big is he? Thanks

Wow, looking at this picture and reading the words I can hear Don Adam's funny voice.

One of the funniest scenes from that show was when 99s mother came to live with them. She witnessed Max fighting with several enemy agents. She looked at 99 and said she had no idea the greeting card business was so tough.

I remember when 99 said to Max you are worth 2 agent 43s Max

Not since Farmer would I have been so heartbroken to lose a player. I would cry and never watch him play again for fear it would cause me too much heartache. 

And Liam Jurrah too

North are putrid 

Most unfair. The players are doing their best.I can remember when we were at our lowest.And we lost by about 8 goals and a journalist said we were “ plucky”. How patronising.

I'm still having nightmares about TMac's kicking from CHB circa 2016, assuming that he comes straight into the lineup where Fritta was named.

I keep having memories of Tom kicking the goal after the siren in the Granny! How cool was that!

Form.... carrying something.. 🤔🤔🤔🤔

 

Not so - was at the Casey game and he was running all over the ground.

Yup. 

Port tried to tag him, (the port bloke didn’t do a great job) and what it showed is Daicos is QUICK from a standing start. Goes from 0-100 in a couple steps. 

Whoever tags him needs to wear him like a glove and be physical. 

Even then, he only needs 10 minutes and  he can take the game away from you. Unreal player. 

How about Kossie?

Did anyone else think the umpiring was questionable, or was that just me?

It was appalling. It is so bad , that it’s a reason to stop going to the footy. It’s not just today but it has been like that for years.

He wasn't training at Gosch's today.

He was sitting in the players seats at Casey today, watching .I saw him.

2 minutes ago, Diamond_Jim said:

early season he showed a bit but I was surprised he didn't do better today as he would have been up against the third defender. The forward delivery though was very bad... high and wayward

For his development he needs a quarter each week as the main target

Didn’t he kick a goal from the boundary line?

Should we recruit Bell as a back up ruckman ?

Just turned it on - how’s Oscar B. going ?

2 weeks ago a Salem family member told me Christian would ready to go in 4 weeks.So 2 to go.

Definitely get someone to make you a rug.Mine keeps my legs warm on a winter’s day / night at the footee 

Spoke to a family member who told me he be back in 4 weeks.

Grundy was good around the ground but his ruckwork was largely ineffective. Oliver was clear BOG.

You are wrong - Grundy’s ruckwork was terrific.At the end of the game , when he walked past Melbourne supporters, he got a standing ovation.I was there - cheering .
