Roost it far

He’ll sign with us and maybe end up at Freo in 4-6 years time. He ain’t going near the Eagles. He and Brayshaw are simply waiting for the new EBA before signing. The rest is media chatter

How long until he’s back? Do we have an injury list available?

I hope the Saints are close to full strength and push us hard. I want to see us challenged and respond. We’ve got a solid month of footy coming up in 3 weeks and we need to be ready

Bedford would be incredibly stiff to miss, thought he was great. Weideman is the classic “almost” player. Can’t help but want him to succeed so I’ll keep the faith Melksham appears done although he’s got a great footy brain and beautiful disposal Dunstan just isn’t that good but a worthy back up Tomlinson over Smith for me Chandler is below our level, he’s at the point where our depth gets seriously challenged Brown needs to stay inside 50! Petty, Kozzie, Jackson, Sparrow, ANB all walk straight back in when fit

The only way we lose is when we have an off day or covid really bites. This week our outs are big but are ins include Viney and Lever. Hardly an issue

In the last Richmond persisted with a spare player back all but ruling out a chance at victory. Their chaos game was no where to be seen

We seem to be doing just fine at Casey. For all the moaning, yearning and wishing going on you’d think a new facility was somehow really important.

The league, pushed by the players and managers will sell the game to the highest bidder. 80% plus of fans will doll out more money to watch a “product” that will be further altered to suit corporate broadcasters.

Hibberd unlikely to replace anyone. Salem only out guaranteed a return spot. Jordan has been terrific, Hunt is the likely unlucky one for mine. In saying that I hope he gets a grand final spot this year. For that to happen he’ll need someone injured

Keep Weid in for 6-8 weeks. We can afford to rotate our 3 key forwards atm. Give TMac a week off. Play Brown and Weid for the next 2 weeks and see what happens. Weid clunks a couple more marks and he’s a 3-4 goal key forward with growing confidence. It’s worth some patience

No change, Weideman should get 6 -8 weeks to prove himself

It’s going to be sad when we’ve one 4 premierships on the trot and we start losing again.

Bowey got a lesson against PA

Weideman: Brown to replace Jordan: great wingman’s game Sparrow: love how tough

Just goes to show how good we are currently. With Brown, Salem, Lever and Petty all certain starters when fit it’s just a matter of signing them up!

Sydney Brisbane GWS if we play at or near our best no one comes close besides Sydney. Their ability to just keep coming makes them very dangerous in finals

We’re not the Hawks I’m afraid

Is that the big fella!

Lever will come in but with May not at his best I doubt we’ll drop TMac. Tomlinson or Hunt will come out and if Brown plays then I’m not sure who he replaces

You can’t cover the loss of players like Jackson. He’s a generational talent.

Smith: some costly spills or better second half

We remain the best team in the league by some margin

Please no one tell me Smith has made it as a player

Weideman to kick 6 and Dees by 80

He’ll stay for 6 more years and win 3-4 more Premierships then head west so we can start a mini rebuild to begin our next dynasty. Can see us winning 7-8 Flags in the next 20 years
