Yeh, perhaps he should have been rested against Brisbane as suggested above. Either way I trust Burgo and Co on this. It's nice having some faith in the medical team

Dees Fixtures 30/7 vs Port (1st) 5/8 vs Adelaide (18th) 9/8 vs North Melbourne (17th) 15/8 vs Collingwood (8th) Think Bennell needs to be managed during this period. But a bit curious he is rested against 1st place when we have 2 "easier" fixtures following.

the "dangerous tackle"/"spear tackle" was more of a hit/bump anyway Love the aggression from Kozzie, even if he's given away a few free kicks (inc some downfield ones)

Yet 2/3 of them resulted in free kicks!

This is the first "dangerous tackle" if that's the one you're referring to. Didn't help we didn't get a replay of it. Grabbed from twitter, someone with better skills can note the time and put a better quality version in here aha

Second one I can sort of understand but the first left me baffled.

good call this, will buy something shortly. would have liked the jumper more if it didnt have the names on it (which defeats the point i know aha)

Curious to see how Gold Coast go. They've got the academy/rookie aspect which will help but the priority picks were to be reviewed annually.

Was really disappointed that AVB didn't tackle Scully into the deepest circle of hell but apart from that things were positive.

Kozi has slotted 2 goals and he's hit the post twice at this season i believe. As noted by @Fifty-5 he helped get us over the line vs gold Coast. Yes he could be scoring more, but the whole team could. Leave him in the team to develop his game and also the link up game with other players. Stats this seaosn 2.2 vs West Coast; 1 Goal asssist - 5 Scores involvements 0.1 vs Geelong, 0 goal assists, 4 scores involvements 0.1 vs Richmond; 1 goal assist, 2 score involvements 0.0 vs Gold Coast; 3 Goal Assists - 4 Score Involvements.

but the commentator said it was a delayed reaction!!!!

Keen to see the changes, want to figure out who the Great man (Samuel Frost) will be on.

It's happening far too often, social media has become a cesspool of hate and racism. Has society always been this racist or has social media amplified these voices? Overnight in England a 12 year old boy was arrested for racist comments to premier league player Wilfred Zaha (Crystal Palace). Racism has no room in sport (OR ANYWHERE) Racists should be named and shamed, education is paramount.

Was going to say even after the win there were a few negative threads about other players popping up. Nice to have an optimistic post OMac played well and deserves the Kudos.

They'll apply for an exemption and then need to spend 14 days in quarantine/away from rest of squad. Guess the club aren't expecting to be back anytime soon.

Bedford did well in Rd1 but we were also without Hunt/Hannan If Tmac is out i'd rather Tomlinson over Brown/Jackson as he's more versatile. This season is a strange one, you want to give players a run to find form, but its a reduced season and every win counts. So don't envy the match committee

sounds like i need to threaten to leave again! Only so many times before they call my bluff though

Sounds like an episode of Silicon Valley.

Still on traditional Foxtel, flirting with leaving to save money. Like the ease of traditional foxtel and the fact there is no stream delay. But will probably shift sign up for Kayo and Foxtel Now (or Binge) in the coming weeks. Foxtel will probably hold off 4K to Kayo tho which is annoying (but fair enough from a business POV)

"Bennell, Weideman among standouts in practice match" Unleash them then

"Attack wins you games, Defence wins you titles"

Yes and no to this, Liverpool signed 2 key players in Alisson and VVD to cover areas of concern that had let them down, namely GK and CB. These were missing pieces of the puzzle but the club had also invested in other areas on the pitch over the last few years. ie Fowards: Mane, Salah, Firmino and Shaqiri for approximately £130 million combined. Midfield:AOC, Wijnaldum, Keita and Fabinho for approximately £150 million combined. We thought May was the missing piece, but now we have a missing piece up forward.

Sometimes when you're doing a jigsaw you think a piece fits in but in the end it doesn't make the puzzle work. The club adopted a short term view in the hope of winning a flag. It's looking like a miscalculation but time will ultimately tell. Forward 50 entries still need to be addressed - we have players that are capable of scoring goals, just not a superstar. The club has put faith in Wieds development but he needs more game-time. We've won 6 regular season games since the end of 2018, 4 of which by less than a goal. (We've also lost 3 games by less than a goal). We need to improve. Take me back to the glory days of 2018 when we beat Carlton by 109 points.

Strange isn't it, 2018 one game away from the Grand Final - we think we're in the window and sacrifice pick 6 (KING) for May/KK. Fast forward to now and we've won 6/26 games, 4 of which by less than a goal. Looking like a complete rabble most weeks. Where are we as a club? and How do we get out of this mess?
