Because they have shown they care more about winning than player welfare. You can add Ryder in there as well. They put aside the health of players to try to get an edge. This might have been forgivable one day, however they have never taken accountability or shown remorse so nothing has changed The club has shown now faith or care for the players and now want the players to put their body on the line for the club?

Cats have won 2 from last 5 whereas Port have won their last 4 straight Big games at Kardinia. Carn Port Wouldn't be surprised to see the Bombers get up after being smashed in the media

Nice PR AFL. there was no announcement as no change. they leaked a lie about twilight and then the big announcement of no change wow

If Bedford finishes his career on 198 games these 2 games would have been handy to get him to 200

You seriously think Milkshake is not the best player to come in, in the coaches eyes but is playing ahead of more deserving players to get him to 200 games?? I can see this for a club legend like Jones to get to 300 but Melksham who has played 84 games for us I don’t get it.

Bit of a surprise but we need a midfield / fwd link man to replace Harmes. I hope and assume getting Milkshake to 200 games has nothing to do with the selection as it would be ridiculous. milkshake must perform or Bedford should be straight in next week

Is it possible to love May anymore than right now?!?

Only works if we are literally discussing Goats!

Of course. Completely agree

Harmes listed as 3 weeks on AFL website - Hammy https://www.afl.com.au/matches/injury-list

Guys and girls, I love the confidence but can we remember round 7 last year when we were down by 20 points to North at half time? North were just as bad last year. If we start talking of blooding young players or giving someone a rest, we can mentally switch off and we could lose the game. Or at least lose some momentum and confidence. Do not tinker! we will lose games this year and most likely to average teams

I predict Port will replace the Tigers in the 8 as the only change. Tigers are not the same team as 2020. They are 14-16 since then. they will probably beat the bombers this week but then expect 4 straight losses

Some classic comments in this thread 😂 i wonder if the north forum has a ‘What they’re saying at Casey’ thread?!

Collecting medals doesn’t equate to greatness. Carey or Buddy have never won a Brownlow so what does that say? Martin will go down as one of the most influential finals players ever. But over a career there are many ahead of him. Finals are important but not everything

Not arguing the MRO don’t need to change or how we can train players. Simply saying there is no purpose in challenging the suspension.

Take it easy. a great player but not possibly the greatest

Could certainly see this happening. 31yo soon. risky but Sydney would take the risk. many teams would and if Dusty got a 4-5 yr deal he would jump at it Sydney would have money in the cap even with Buddy playing on

Why would we challenge? he drove him into the ground and the bloke was concussed. being non-deliberate is irrelevant most of the reasons to challenge by the brains trust on here seem to be coz a big name player wouldn't have been suspended and Ryan only got one week. great arguments if people just venting then fair enough

Amazing recruiting yet again. Just turned 19 and is a unit already. Has good agility and confidence. he will RUIN some defences in the future

Message received - you are better off lining someone up off the ball and collecting them in the head rather than risk tackling them

No idea how anyone can say he won't get suspended. He tackles him, his head makes heavy impact with the ground after being driven downwards and he was concussed. Chandler didn't do much wrong but no way he gets off

Bedford for Harmes Kozzi to play more HF link player

I wonder how he got his licence suspended? poor judgement to say the least

Not really. Seems like the usual sht house umpiring to me

When the pressure is Baku has looked the calmest
