So.. is Sam out for a while?

This kick it long is obviously a directive from the coaches.. Needs to change, our forward structure has looked poor all year as they lead to the top of the square most of the time. Need a forward coach who has forward craft!!!

Thought I saw the writing on the wall late last year, but he has come good. It is the second coming..

I am sorry Nathan.. I had written you off and you put egg on my face the last month.. Sorry Nathan, I will not doubt you again... Sincerely SPC.

Gil orchestrated this nicely. Didn't like the backlash from Ablett receiving a lighter sentence at the tribunal- so told the MRP not to charge him this time. Bloke makes head contact from a fair bump and gets a week- Make sense.

Would be a SOP for a short turnaround. I suspect he may be chance still.

Hi Old Dee, thanks for the reply. Agree 100% about Wagner- he is a good honest footballer, but probably a little way of AFL level.

I agree, but think we need a 2nd ruckman and don't like the idea of TMAC, Preuss and another tall in Smith up forward. Going small has served us well so far.

Hi to those who watched the game. 1 question- do we have any small defenders who could come in this week? Where has Sparrow played? Cory Wagner?

Would love to see him in the midfield next year.

I think we will lose 3 through injury and I feel we might be best to swap out Keilty. In: Pruess, ANB, Corey Wagner, Sparrow. Out: Lewis, Hibberd, Keilty, Melksham - Fritsch will need to stay as a backman for this week. Our back stocks are depleted, but we still have the 2 key talls, plus Hore and Wagner, Salem and Fritsch. At least we will add a little more leg speed. - Forwardline we will bring in Preuss and ANB. - Forward/Mid- Wagner and Sparrow for a little rotation and depth.

My money is on a slow inside mid with average footskills to complement the plethora we have already.

Not keen on the Viney inclusion- Side much more balanced with ANB. Still scratch my head at the selection committees direction. Anyway, time will tell. Sporting Globe Ballarat for the game.. Go Dees!!

Sam Newman for me was the killer. Clearly didn't actually watch football, but had a opinion on everything. Weird relaunch with the latest line-up that didn't hit the mark. Like most haven't really followed the show since teams were named during the news. Good show during its popular days and that it is how it should be remembered.

Would have been good to have someone with a bit of grunt to dig the heals in and demand a better deal. Weak off the field and on it unfortunately.

It is still hard to believe we are the oldest club and the only club with a 'pop-up' training ground. AFL should compensate for kicking us off the G and allowing other clubs to play at 'our' ground.

Wish I could offer more.. Peter marks the ball at its highest point and Oscar waits for it to hit his chest.. should be a match made in heaven..

Certainly holding back his presence.

Jack has a poor record of judging when fit to play. By his own admission he returned early from his foot injury in 2017 and has had long periods on the sidelines and/or managed game time since. His game time was managed in games early in the season. Ditto vs Hawks - he played about 2 of the first 3 qtrs (prior to the shoulder injury). This suggests something other than the shoulder injury is causing the managed game times. Have someone else make the decision! Very good point.. I would not allow him back this week, next week on a hard deck in the West also a concern.

Oh.. that is his natural hair... Would love a job where you can dress like a flasher..

Who is the boy to the left of Goodwin in the press conference? Why is you are bald would you wear a red toupee?

Nibbler and Groundballs shouldn't be in the same sentence.

I have not been an Oscar fan and cannot wait till we have our best players available to displace him.. But for me it is a no change. Oscar on 2m Peter.

I don't get what is parasitic about it... People in this town crave AFL news and he is one of many who captures the stories.. Don't blame him for May being unprofessional.

Gee some people are being a bit rough on Morris. He is paid to report news and he has done this. And yes, this is news, purely due to the fact that May arrived at the club not within the conditioning expected. May would be disappointed, club would be disappointed and so should the supporters. Let's get him fit, give him support and get him back playing good footy. As for Morris, whether you like him or the news he reports, he has done what has been asked of him from his employer.
