Boots and all

....and again, [censored]

Exactly.

Just notclooking like it. We finally get a goal then the quick response.

Ahh, thank [censored]!! I really feel for him. Aside from the obvious health implications, given his history with concussion, that could be season ending.

Has there been any word on Gus?

I wish we could have an announcement already. I feel gutted, I can't imagine how Melk and the rest of the team are feeling.

Unable to watch. Could someone please tell me how serious Melk's injury looked?

Any lingering hope of a top two spot is diminishing rapidly.

Agree, and the first part of the third. Baggers jumped us twice. I don't know if it's a lapse of concentration but it's what lost the game.

He struggled on the weekend playing full game time I thought. Prefer him as the sub.

This bloody run home is looking more difficult each week.

I would suggest that if he's named, he will be 100% ready to go. I think we can all agree that the coaching and fitness staff won't be taking the slightest risk with him.

I wouldn't be so hasty, everyone has bad games and he has been very good in recent weeks.

We can kick scores with a more mobile forward line. I am very pleased that Goody pulled the trigger on Petty forward and Tomlinson staying back. Again Smith came in and was effective and played his role.

Jordan again, too slow.

Did we have a late out? Who is Harmes in for?

Our boys had better be ready for a fight tomorrow. The Tigers will be roaring. Also, let's hope the Suns can deliver an upset.

How do we get our hands on Toby Greene?

Yep, me too. I think it may only be in special cases that he might squeeze in there to stretch a side.

Yes, absolutely this!! Before his injury, Petty was starting to click as a forward, then on his "early" return was shoved into the backline again. There was substantial work put into Petty playing forward and I think it was premature to move him back. The forward line you suggested Redleg, given time playing together, would be very dangerous. We look a stronger unit with both Tommo and Petty in the side. You could easily throw Smith into the mix if we needed to go taller because I think he works hard at ground level.

I think a lot of people, myself included, admire the come from behind victory which the Pies tend to do pretty regularly (for the record I hate it when they do it). Falling over the line, not so much. We did steady under extreme heat though, which is pleasing.

Why is Lever on Tex?

Maybe it is time for Petty to play forward and make Tommo a permanent fixture down back. I thought BBB was turning the corner a bit last week but he's off the boil today.

Lever has also been quiet today.

A little untidy with our disposal in the second half of that quarter. We were still winning contests but turning over the possession and squandering breaks out of the contest.
