GAMEDAY: Rd 18 vs West Coast Eagles
Absolutely looks it, and such a shame to see. He's been rushed back

The free kick count could be the opposite - we're still butchers in front of goal where it matters

That was a putrid decision against May

Fritzl down forward for two weeks in a row now - either the Alice heat is getting to Goodwin or he's been reading DL

Roos is prepared to take a role at Carlton!
If it means the Baggers get 2-3 years of incremental improvements, some form of transition arrangement and a year or two of flash in the pan type performances then they can have him! He left MMM this season because they wouldn't meet his pay demands and goes on Fox with flirtatious intent to spruik his services to the highest bidder - let's face it he's a modern day gun for hire.

If Lewis is going to play deep forward he needs to play in front!

CYCLING
We've made it through the first rest day and I think the incredible racing and fascinating results are characterised by the nightmarish first week for some of the GC contenders, sprints and stage finishes that no one could've foreseen , and some of the up and coming next generation riders have announced themselves on the scene. We'll soon be at the foot of the Pyrenees which is where the race will truly begin, for mine. It almost feels like we've had a week's worth of one-day classics in terms of how the stages have unfolded. In a year where the Australian presence is a bit less than in recent years, the performance of many Aussie riders has left a lot to be desired, with Ewan the possible exception. The accepted logic seems to be that Trek are a team with a weak roster that have brought a weak contingent of riders to this years tour and this has significantly curtailed Richie Porte's 2019 chances. I think once we get into the Pyrenees we'll have a clearer idea of this. It's interesting to see that SBS continue to put him forward as a GC contender, understandably as the highest rated Australian, however he seems to barely rate a mention in European or US media. The only thing I do know for certain is that nothing is certain in the Tour and everyone seems to have a different theory on what will play out over the next two weeks. Looking forward to watching the race unfold and dissecting it!

Carlton Sack Brendon Bolton
If there's anything we can learn from coaching changes of the recent past it's that first-time coaches are highly regarded the second-time around as an assistant. Think: Voss, Leppitsch, Ratten, and dare I say McCartney

Jesse goes wack on Tom Morris
Thanks Nev. I wasn't aware that it'd been covered by Fox aswell. Here's the link to the discussion on 3AW this evening: https://www.3aw.com.au/tom-morris-responds-to-twitter-abuse-from-fremantle-forward-jesse-hogan/ Caro counselled Morris not to take the role from the outset. Fair to say no side has covered themselves in glory here.

Did anyone else hear Tom Morris' segment on Sports Today tonight? At first, Morris didn't want to talk about it but Caro brought it up - was just interesting to hear their take on it. Will post a link when it's available/I can find it...

CHANGES: Rd 16 vs Carlton
Would need to be convinced on Lewis and JKH, but Preuss must come in now. I know Lewis has been bringing his own footy at VFL level but whenever I see him try to gather the loose ball across half back I still get chills. T.Smith and Petty out, but I just think we need to keep playing Weid. *SIGH* if both sides perform as they've done today then this one doesn't bear thinking about!
