Witches Hat

These are the rumours I heard on the weekend. No idea how much truth there is to any of them. Zac Merrett is biding his time until after the Essendon B&F before unloading on them. Absolutely hell bent on getting out. Hawthorn are in to Merrett and Petracca but know they can't get both. Also conscious of the fact that Butters might be on the market next year and they'll need a healthy pile of cash for Josh Weddle who comes out of contract. St.Kilda have made a massive offer to Sam Flanders. Talk of a three way deal between Saints, Suns and Blues involving Curnow. I don't know who St.Kilda are putting up to entice Carlton to the table. TDK perhaps?!!

I select Charlie Spargo just to see how high @picket fence blood pressure can get up to.

Sanderson was at Geelong when he got the Adelaide gig, Neeld at Collingwood when he got ours. Both left immediately even though their clubs were still in finals.

Am I missing something here? You'd be forgiven for thinking we're on the verge of getting the next Alex Rance. Derksen has played zero games in three years at GWS.

That was Test cricket at it's absolute best.

I haven’t watched a non Dees game since the May suspension and don’t think I’m missing much. I assume hard core punters are cleaning up on multi’s. When was the last time a team from the bottom eight beat someone above them?

This decision just adds to my disillusion with the AFL. I'll never stop loving The Dees and I'll still go to our games but I'm pretty much done with the AFL as a whole. Local footy is so much better on so many levels

I thought McVee was better tonight.

Not a lot to get excited about but Verrall just might have something. Very clean below his knees.

Is football season still going?

We all seem to acknowledge that the midfield needs a shake up. Is leaving Trac in the forward line an option a la Dangerfield at Geelong? He is very good overhead and IMO would provide a better option than Petty who has no physical presence whatsoever. Your thoughts please gentlemen.

Channel 7 claiming exclusive footage of May doubling down is beyond belief. It's laughable to suggest that he then went back for another go. Collingwood are having a shot for goal after the siren, I'd have thought the logical place for the full back to be is in the goal square. Mountain out of a molehill.

I reckon it comes down to zero confidence. He used to be a reliable kick for goal when he made a foray forward. Same reason Fritsch played on from 30 out yesterday. Set shot kicking is a malaise that has spread through the whole team. How many would you trust from 40m out directly in front? JVR if he could actually get a kick, Sparrow and Kozzie perhaps but I'm not putting my house on them.

The worst part for me is that I’m not even a bit angry. Just resigned to being let down .
