I've gone from going every week to going ever now and then. Its just a waste of my time and money going to the footy these days. On top of that I seem to drink a lot more at the footy these days and walk out depressed & angry.

When it comes to Neeld, Craig & Misson we can't just get rid of all of them as we'd have to pay them all out & as far as I'm aware we'vė got stuff all money as it is.

Hawthorn next week

If I could only choose one I'd say Daniher, I just can't believe some of the things he can do for a guy his size. Also he will dominate the ruck as well as full forward or CHF. Although Hogan is younger I believe he is more physicaly developed than Daniher who won't be physicaly matured for another 4 or 5 years. Both players will be extremely good players for their respective clubs.

Had a chance to hear from Steve yesterday & he and the coaches are absolutely wrapped with Billy's development especially the last year he's really come on a lot and more importantly is loving his footy. The fact that he's made the team as an underage player could move him up the pecking order a bit.

I like the idea of Watts returning to the forward line but I wonder what would happen next year when Hogan comes in. We surely can't play Clark, Dawes, Hogan & Watts all up forward? So that makes me think why play him forward now when he won't be there in the long term. He needs to be settled in a position.

If you do a good job of rolling your ankle the initial pain is bloody painful. He eventually limped off the ground, give the kid a break FFS.

Bloody hell he's like a witches hat!

I just can't do it anymore, I'm so emotionly drained and broken by this club. I love it so much & have given so much support but It's just got to the point where I've got better things to do than watch this tripe. My kids don't want to come anymore they find it boring and have completely lost interest. I used to go every week with Dad to watch the Dees in the late 80's & early 90's & couldn't wait to do the same with my boys, it brakes my heart they've lost interest. I'll continue to buy my membership but I need a break from this for a bit.

Yep McLardy's a top bloke & a very genuine person but so out of his depth it's not funny.

A free moving Trengove...

I'll give you $24,000 If we get 24,000 people through the gate.

Strained calf? LOL I wonder how long they sat around trying to think up a mystery injury.

You must follow Brett Anderson on Twitter? He's written an article in Inside Footy about the similarities between Trengove & Ball.

What the hell is wrong with Trengove?

In hindsight yes I'd take Hurley over Watts but Hurley was never for one second going at 1 In that draft.

There's a lot of things about Troy's game that I do like. He's very competitive & one on one he's very strong. I also like that he repeatedly attempts to rebound the footy but I just think to often he lets himself & the team down with his disposal. Just my opinion but happy to give him more tome to develop and revisit it over the next few weeks.

His disposal is terrible, I watch enough Casey games to back that up.

Hoges is back in WA for the weekend, apparently he should be good to play next week.

I don't know what to do anymore, maybe leave him forward. Play Clark. Dawes & Watts in the same forward set up? Maybe that could work but then we get Hogan next year & we can't play four big blokes down there. I'm running out of ideas for Jack.

Love his tackling but that's about all he's offering at the moment.

I just can't defend Watts anymore, just no effort at all.

Hey I had Maccas at Cranny tonight

I also dont remember Strauss being that quick. He had the jets on tonight with a few eye catching runs through the middle of the ground.
