Roost it far

601

I want local clubs with funding provided by the AFL to heavily publicise the issue, talk to clubs and supporters and isolate the farkwits. I’m pretty sure most clubs have volunteers who could help remove, fine and ban the trouble makers. Or we could continue to stick our heads in the sand and allow umpire numbers to further decline and our kids to continue to be exposed by this toxicity

The 50m rule for dissent is an imperfect solution

The abuse at local levels of football is a blight on our game and society. I can’t take my kids to the local football because it’s so bad. The last time I took them a man in his 40’s called the umpire a black cant and then proceeded to abuse those around him who told him off. It wasn’t an isolated incident. The leagues are short umpires and it’s no wonder. Time to remove the scumbags from the crowd. It’s upto the local clubs to call this out and move these people on.

Brayshaw has become one of our best players yet I don’t see him as a must keep if the price is right. I do however really hope he stays.

If we get to 75,000 over the next few years that’s a huge result

We’re so above hubris or complacency it’s not funny. Our defence and midfield is 20% better than anyone else. Hard to see us not winning 4 on the trot

Daw won’t play ahead of Weideman so you can forget that dream

Personally unless we are stricken down by covid or mass injuries no one’s beating us

Collingwood have admitted wrong, apologised and will no doubt have made the necessary changes. I’m not sure what else he wants to happen

Unbeatable

We’ll win easily. Lots of chatter about a danger game. Saints aren’t a danger, in fact no one is currently. Sides are putting everything at us and we haven’t got out of second gear. I pity the club that meets us in fourth.

Jeez we’re good

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.
