Does Trac play in the middle now Jesse is back?

With 5 wins and the 2nd lowest % I wonder why. Even with our injuries we have heaps of talent. They are still imagining that we are the easybeats of the last decade and haven't paid attention to not just our form but their lack of. How good is this season despite our injuries. Cant wait to see the hulk play and Garlett feeding off him.

Possibly I don't know any of them. I just assumed they would be more inspired by Max or Tmac having known them longer. But yea this may not be the case.

The perfect script. Thanks for posting these. Hey Pies fans, revenge is a dish best kicked from 30 with one minute to go by JW.

True he certainly has experience but being captain is more than that. For me it is mostly about your ability to inspire your team mates. That means someone like Gawn or tmac rather than JL.

And anger management classes like Janice Sopranos.

I just have a feeling that Wagner will click like OMac in the near future and become a very good player. Sad if Trenners isn't playing.

Its a double bonus with him in and the motivation of his mates. Aside from winning all Dees would love to see this guy kick a bag of 8 or so. Seems to never have had a clear run to get into his stride and show us what he can really do. He deserves to have a day out after the year he has had.

I always thought he was recruited as a high flying forward like his father but your right I guess they can play him down back. Your thinking outside the box.

Couldnt agree more with the bloke. He cannot be captain with under 12 games for the greatest club in the world. I admire him saying this though. He has humility.

I don't know what happened with this guy but I love it. I never thought ill of him even with his poor disposal at times. I always thought he was just young and still developing. Perhaps when he put on some mass he would be a good player. He has gone to a whole new level in just a few games. Hope hes with us for the next ten or so years.

Dont think they will have Smith in with Hogan sneaking into the selection.

We deserve to be. Its our time now.

Im happy with the Jeff weve got but yea yours was a gun

There stuck in the good old days and cant accept the reality that as far as besting our team on a continual basis, the tide has well and truly turned,

Feeling much more confident now of being only one win less after this weeks round than all of last season.

Not sure about that. The flack Jack took was incredible. It was relentless and everywhere. He knew it hurt his mom so it must have hurt him. To tune the whole world out like you say takes a high degree of mental fortitude for me. I think many have forgotten (not necessarily yourself) how much crap he copped. I always loved Paul Roos' comment that if he were Jack he would have moved to Hawaii by now. Boyd is another story.

3, Not some shabby replacements if it happens. JKH not so sure about. Love to see Trenners.

Jack Watts must be one of the most strongest and mentally tough players around.

I have conflicting issues about this entire event. On one hand my gut says that Bugg didnt mean to knock the guy out. It seems to have connected at the right (or wrong) moment on a young small player. He sure meant to hit him but like many he was frustrated. It was still a dog act but I dont think it warrants 6 weeks and calls for execution. He is genuinely sorry. On the other hand I think of Brayshaw and how upset I would be if he was on the other end of such a blow. It is important to look at past form of players. I just wish the punishments were more consistent and there wasn't so much trial by media.

No way condoning Buggs shocking actions but in light of his genuine remorse and contrition he pretty much got the same as Hall who didnt seem as sorry. You be the judge

Would like to see Jesse in Seniors this w..e instead of rumours of VFL.

If Jesse plays VFL and has an average or below game....will they let him play in AFL the following week assuming all fit and nobody kicks 6 in his place?

I think percentage is going to be the deciding factor for us given its high. I dont want to jeopardise it.

Hope so too. Probably deserved 5 IMO . I reckon he gives his all on the field. Did Slobbo ever play?
