Fanatique Demon

Pickett just ran around in circles. A waste of space. Interesting to see if one of our posters gives him a vote today. "I always give Kossi a vote."

I confess I'm worried about the Bulldogs game. And I'm probably not alone.

1963, Ron Barassi on Roger Dean. Four weeks. By today's standards, Ron may have escaped any penalty. And Roger might have got a fine for staging!

I agree with the original post by JJC. Here's a rule the umpires need to police better... punching the ball put of bounds is allowed in a marking contest. Otherwise not. The key word is CONTEST. However I have seen players who aren't in a contest, could have attempted the mark themselves, but instead just punched the ball out of bounds. The umpires call for a ball-in. If there is no contest, it should be a penalty for deliberate out of bounds.

Thanks to Binman for creating this thread and the others who have contributed! i am learning a lot from this, although I confess I am not very familiar with EPL (and even less interested). Please keep the comments coming. It would be great if this made it back to the main board.

There could be 8 or 9 changes to both of last year's teams. Hard to assess.

A W I S E assessment.

Thanks Joeboy. I look forward to this each week.

True! ?

I really don't see the point in posting articles most of us can't access. At least not without a summary of contents.

I thought VDB... offered much grunt

Thanks for posting that, Blind_turn. Interesting. And I like the way Mitchel asks Worpel what he should do rather than just telling him. It makes me wonder whether our player reviews are as professionally conducted.

Can't access it.

Happy to be wrong about his Rising Star chances. I knew it would come but I didn't think it would have been for last week's game. Well done Jacko!

Seriously... it was another step forward for Jackson, but he has a long way to go to be a Rising Star of the calibre of other nominees. They don't give the award on potential. We all want him to be great, but he's not. Not yet, anyway. Same goes for Kozzie. Three minutes of highlights. Looong way to go.

He certainly will be! Just not yet.

ANB : Alas, No Better

Jones : sadly, time's up Harmes : much better today

There's a lot of premature love (and hope) for Jackson! 6. Oliver 5. Petracca 4. May 3. Viney 2. Salem 1. Lever

Thanks, Mr Nails.

Werridee might have to review his profile. His favourite players include TMac, Oliver and Jones. None of them fits into his team.

Our team is very different this year. But if Adelaide is going to win a game in 2020, it will be against us.

I was looking forward to Joeboy's assessment.
