People still saying Buggs is not worse than Houlis? Houli was being held while trying to run to receive the ball and trying to break the hold. he got angry and too aggressively swiped and clocked the bloke. forearm to the head not a punch in my opinion. got his 4 weeks he deserved

Bugg stared at Mills and punched him clean in the jaw. would have to be more than 4 weeks or something is not right 

Id go Gawn. I think at the stage we are at in the season - dip in form, tired, injuries - we need energy, confidence and to enjoy the footy again.  Gawn brings this in spades.  He has this air of confidence that would rub off on everyone and ill back him to put in the performance to back it up too.  Trac is really important along these lines too

this weekend there will be only 5 players that have played all 15 games this years.

and we could see the 35th player on the list get a run if maynard/JT/Johnstone or Ben Ken play

give us a farrrkking break

Just driving past training and stopped in. 

Jack Watts doing rehab running over about 40-50m at about 1/3 pace.

I'd say he's quite a few weeks from playing.

thanks for the update.  but couldnt this just be part of his fitness test/checking out the hammy?

start with jogging to warm it up, move to 1/3 pace then 2/3 pace etc??

They do this all the time - build a team up too much and smack them down

im surprised anyone is surprised by this

Misquoting, the team rule is one beer and they are ineligible, nobody knows any of the facts

I am not apologising, just offering an opinion that the Club dealt with it, didn't stop them playing for Casey, or judging by the result maybe it did?, my opinion is that they were stupid, but then again we have a forum of posters who have never [censored] up in their life and impacted others, yeah right

really have no idea what your issue is, unless you are doing your usual trolling?

an incident occurred, we are discussing it. Clearly they are idiots and if they had of not done it, they would have helped us on friday night as they are the form players in the twos.

are you saying only if you've never had a drink can you comment on someone having a drink?

your comments make no sense. if you don't wish is discuss this, don't come on this page

we need 4 more wins and play all bottom 4 teams. So... whats the problem???

I know the Blues will be tough, but this is where Lewis and Vince etc earn their money.  We need to cope with adversity.

We don't deserve finals if we cannot beat bottom teams. Although going on 2017 form, we will beat the crows and GWS and lose to some bottom teams!

confucious say, team who makes 5 or more changes rarely wins

unless absolutely required I would not make any more than needed through injury. Certainly Wagner would stay in if I was picking the team. not many had a good game on the weekend

Someone call the pub and tell the three lads they're in for next week!!

So just 7 of our top 10 players out then?

wtf!! Can we catch a friggen break!?

Misson. Get those hammies right. Any reoccurrences and we are proper fked

Deserves 6 weeks. Worse than the houli hit. 

Moronic act and it'll take a lot of time to regain respect with players and coaches

Kiwi Bar in Soi 8 is always good ? 

Hilary Bar's in Soi 4

How i miss those nights.....

I'm picturing you looking out a window longingly, drinking a scotch with a single tear running down your cheek

B: Nic Newman, Heath Grundy, Nick Smith 
HB: Zak Jones, Dane Rampe, Jake Lloyd 
C: Isaac Heeney, Josh P. Kennedy, Callum Mills 
HF: George Hewett, Lance Franklin, Kieren Jack 
F: Gary Rohan, Sam Reid, Tom Papley 
FOLL: Sam Naismith, Dan Hannebery, Luke Parker
I/C: Oliver Florent, Jarrad McVeigh, Lewis Melican, Dean Towers

looking at their team it is quite small. Grundy the only def over 188cm I think? Only one ruckman, not sure how would play 2nd ruck, maybe reid. I think we should play Gawn fwd 40% and get Tmac/Pedo on the ball/ruck. Gawn could cause havock!

This will be the third memorable win missed by poor old Bitter

Dogs - Kotakinabalu

West coke - Singapore

Now Swans

Bitter in Bangkok!!

You finally taken your Stand-Up show on the road Bitter?

I hope Buddy tries to take on Frosty, (Cale Hooker-style) down the wing.  he will get eaten alive!

Also Viney didnt walk into a great team winning flags.

he more than any other player on our list has dragged us forward and lifted our standards

by the time Viney is 30, he will have no peers

Id love it if they tried to rough up Oliver.

poke the bear, he will not take a backwards step and will still get 35 touches

Oliver head to head with Kennedy will be great to watch. he should learn a lot (but still beat him)

12 is the magic number.

11 wins won't get you a finals spot. Go run the ladder predictor with as many different scenarios as possible, and you wont find one where 11 wins gets you in.

 

Do you think 12 makes it for sure? Or 80% of the time?

Just checked out his bio on mfc. Not only do we share the same birthday (not the same year!) we are also the same height and weight. Like, exactly the same. 

Has to be a good sign

not sure we share the same skin folds but!

Can't see us winning this week. 5 of our best out, three 6 day breaks. Sydney midfield on fire. 

Out forward line is poor and will be found out eventually. 

Kent must have slept with Goody's mrs and sister. We really need his speed creativity and aggression up fwd

Houli should appeal

The thing that will hurt us most is that the five players missing are ~top 7 ball users at the club. I think we'll look uglier than usual and probably kick more behinds than goals

"With finals all but assured,"

Wow, I cant believe this.  Someone tell this guy we are 2 games from 12th spot, smashed by injuries and anything can happen.

Yeah we should make finals, but saying it is assured is pure insanity.

Madness! Tough draw and we need 5 wins from 9 games. I'd say we are a good chance at finals but could easily blow it.
