I'm sure that the club does everything it can to keep all players happy, but to suggest we drafted Weideman because Hogan told the club to do it is ridiculous.

Second year forward making demands? Good one.

Super game. Just goes to show how even the league is this year. Well, it is at the minute. Feel for the Dogs tonight. Lost Murphy last week, JJ goes down this week and a few others were sore and sorry by the end. Can't take a trick at the minute, and they would have been thankful that they played the Blues tonight.

Happens every time BT commentates Dogs games. He's on a constant [censored].

Fair enough. Gee I hope Stringer looks a bit disinterested tonight. A sure sign he wants out and I hope the Dees are all over it.

No, just disappointed that it still occurs. And before you say it - yes, I should know better!

I am as a matter of fact. He's not having a good day, but to suggest it means he is coming home is over the top. He looks like a guy who is still a little rusty after missing heaps of footy. I put his 'sluggishness' down to still working his way back to match fitness. If he had done this for weeks then I would be more inclined to agree. But cut the bloke some slack. One poor game does not mean he is running around out there with one eye on Victoria.

He isn't allowed to have one bad game after missing a year through injury? We are so quick to jump to outlandish conclusions on this site.

Not too dissimilar to the ones we weren't paid last weekend either. Clearly they went 15m. The umps have obviously been told to be harder on this, but their ability to judge the distance is appalling.

Agreed. Probably the best contests mark in the league right now, if he gets even a small amount of space he is clunking every mark.

May knew what he was doing, too. You could see it in his face as he ran past the ball and laid him out. Got Stef Martin right under the chin. Minimum 4 weeks.

I'd be surprised if you knew how to put your pants on in the morning picket...

Bit harsh. What he posted earlier gave me a chuckle and was quite harmless. Not quite sure why you had a go at it to be honest.

That will be the Bombers go all year - drag teams down to their level so they have a chance. It's an awful game of footy to watch but that's what the Bombers want.

They've had 2 free kicks for the game. You might be going over the top just a touch...

It's early going, but the Cats look a little flat early. They'll still more than likely give the Bombers a hiding but they haven't turned up to play yet.

How gracious of you.

Correct on both fronts. Just goes to show how easy it is for rumours that are backed up by nothing can gain some traction. Edit - sorry, Gaff is out of contract at the end of the season, but has indicated his willingness to sign a new, multi year deal this year. He last signed towards the end of 2014.

Why didn't he ask to be traded at the end of 2015, then? What changed that was so catastrophic that he now wants to be home in Perth so badly? Do the math dazzle - it doesn't add up.

What doesn't add up, to me, is what has changed in a few months. He happily signed on at the end of 2014 and, if he really wanted out, he could have gone to the club and demanded a trade. Nothing happened. He completed an excellent pre-season and is just starting to get back into form, giving no indication that he wants to be back in Perth at all costs. Langdon has hit the mark before, but he's also been waaaaay off as well. He is a Perth native who, of course, would want to see someone like Jesse come home. I just can't take him all that seriously.

They are just so... average.

Tigers are playing like us from a few years aho at the moment. 21-4 inside 50s. Tigers suck and it's glorious.

Agree with this 100%. Just dropping in something about another player having a possible injury but not giving the source is poor etiquette.

He was just putting roofies in the Gatorade though, so he should get off lightly.

He's just blowing smoke. They need him 'breaking' stories this week and, clearly, this is all he has. Not worried in the slightest.
