He's probably told himself this and convinced himself it's true so he can live with the fact he ended a blokes career and one who I think he knows relatively well.
-
I like the Kolt but Billings was better than him the other night.
-
I thought Tholstrup was fine in his first game and I think he will be a real player, just had to find someone for Kozzy. I guess you could drop Billings, but realistically he was better than Tholstrup.

I'm hoping we go the following for the team: Outs: Salem, Brown & Tholstrup Ins: Fullarton, Hunter & Pickett B: McVee May Lever HB: Rivers McDonald Howes C: Windsor Viney Langdon HF: ANB Petty Chandler F: Fritsch JVR Pickett R: Gawn Oliver Petracca Int: Fullarton Sparrow Billings Hunter Sub: Woewodin Hunter, Langdon and Windsor to rotate between wing and half back to cover Salem. Fullarton to play back up ruck and JVR to play 100% forward and use as ruck in the forward line (Fullarton & Gawn to play a kick behind play).

No I don't believe so. That's why I've suggested they should just run with a panel who makes the decisions, no tribunal or anything. Once they make a decision it's final. The AFL can do what they want, it's their competition though I'm sure there are certain things built into their constitution or whatever they call it. The tribunal an antiquated system that goes back years to the time where there was no TV, so the people who witnessed things had to sit down and argue the facts. We have cameras now on every instance so I don't understand why it is needed.

Would jump at him in a heartbeat. Would be fantastic as a roaming CHF similar to Jeremy Cameron. I really hope we go hard in trade and free agency this year to bring in some ready made players. After bringing in Windsor, Kolt and Brown last year and Jeffo, Adams & Verrall last year we've got a decent amount of kids for a side contending. Throw in Rivers, Pickett, Bowey, JVR, McVee, Howes, Woey, Turner & Sestan that is a heap of youth. I realise we don't have a real top line mid in that group other than Windsor, I think the time is now to really go hard. Can't waste our time with Trac, Viney and Oliver....
-
I do wonder if rucking results in JVR being spent by the time he moves into the forward line, causing him to struggle to maximise his marking etc as a forward. I am personally keen to see Fullarton come in for Brown as the ruck/forward and leave JVR at CHF for the Richmond game. I think Petty we just have to persist with as he gains fitness throughout the year.

So many people also blaming Lever for it, wow. He was picked up and thrown backwards and a tackle like that would be a sin bin in the NRL. I do think he put a bit of mayo at the end, but doesn't change the fact the tackle was dangerous. Also, trying to use the weight difference as an excuse, Jack Viney has been on record saying his brother can easily take him down and he has him covered by a good 10-20kgs but it doesn't matter if you use your weight correctly.

Perfect. McLuggage anyone? -
NFI! Christian strikes again.

@binman keen to get your thoughts how much benefit the Lions had from having their bye 3 weeks prior, given their pressure levels were incredible. Based off this we should be in a pretty good physical condition for the Cats and Blues games, which hopefully can see us get wins in both games.
-
Yep I'd say he definitely would've got one. Christian's excuse for why he didn't get a suspension is a joke.
-
In regards to the real or perceived perception that the MRO does its best to protect the top players/brownlow chances, I think there is a pretty simple change that could be made. They should only ban players from winning the brownlow if they are sent direct to the tribunal. Given how easy it is to be suspended these days, you could be slightly off on your attack on the ball and cop a week suspension. Suspensions previously were for acts off the ball or hitting a bloke late, whereas now you can be a millisecond off and get a suspension.
-
Butters is not a dirty player and I admire his attack on the ball, but players and supporters need to realise the game has shifted. How the AFL can condone that type of attack on the ball, which was a whisker from ending in a bad concussion to Banfield is a joke.

Yep I was 100% spot on here. Another weekend of inconsistency given the Butters/Crouch incidents over the weekend and also remembering Hunter's from last year. Michael Christian just has to go. Butters act was 10 times more dangerous than Hunter from last year and yet he got nothing and Hunter got a week.
