Harmesy copped a knock early in the second. Not himself the rest of the game, no one had any idea why including the coaches. Apparently felt terrible the next day and then failed the concussion test. He's pretty flat about it by all reports, hope he's right and firing for finals - underrated team player.

Goody tends to not bother too much with positions on the team announcement, so wouldn't think it would happen. Hope so! But as above...

Make of it what you will given it's old mate...

No decision will be made until our season is over, which I believe a fair few posters have mentioned now. Richo talks about it here (about 5:30 in).

Literally no one said 'we're in the box seat'. I mentioned we'd spoken to him and made that offer. Did you catch the news about how a 'premiership contender' had offered him a deal? Coincidence I guess.

Probably a long shot given his age, injury and home town, but get the impression we'll be key forward shopping this offseason. Totally agree he's likely a longer term prospect, but don't mind the idea of him in a combo with JVR down the track.

Dees and Gus trolling the Dockers before our game...

Nup, Perth... 😬

Would we ask the question?

Does this mean he's a good bloke and a handy player again?

But the big question remains, does this mean his manager WAS in Melbourne....? 😉

Yes, literally all the time mate.

He said he had spoken to Gus about it all, and I highly doubt his brother would 'stir the pot' for the sake of it when talking about his brother's career.

3rd in the Brownlow. Was in good form when he signed, but had also been dropped for the start of the season. He's said previously (about his current deal) he wishes he was on anywhere near the 600k the media had reported.

Hamish. Might be worth getting up to speed mate.

And he's potentially one head knock away from either being an outside player guaranteed or even career in trouble.

You're not this naive are you? Do you think Gus, or anyone from the club, is going to say 'yeahnah I hate playing the backline hey, I should be playing mid but the coach is a dud'.... And that of course ignores the fact Gus' brother came out and said he'd spoken to Gus and it was clear he wanted to play midfield and would potentially leave for that and a "lofty contract".

Cheers mate, saw the articles earlier in the week re: surface.

Yep, surface could be slippery, just won't be a wet weather game as such I reckon.

When I say defence I mean as a team, just to clarify. Having the holy trinity back together in defence will help, but need the forwards and wings to lift considerably in the pressure stakes.

Yeah for sure. Really intriguing offseason for him - Gut feel is Goody would be happy to ship him off, but we will have a very bare cupboard in terms of tall forwards and rucks quite possibly.

Chandler is a confirmed in?
