That's a bit tough on Lever.. We lost the game for other reasons, like ... 17 behinds.

My view is we need to look seriously at our forward half and that includes a lot of first-line and second-line players that are just ordinary. Thought Sparrow did OK and in Spargo surprised me with his effort considering what he has displayed in the 2's over the past month. Sad to say McDonald should retire as well as BBB. As for JJ I love the guy but "love" doesn't win games. But guess the Club will go for the long term benefit rather that cheap imports where they are another teams has beens... p.s. I won't mention Schache...

Agree, In the States if targeting is questioned or observed by a referee during play he views footage immediately and has sole discretion to ban the player from the game there and then. There is no recourse to the decision either then or after the game has finished.

Gus at training today. Great to see him up and about,

All comments aside it is so sad that a genuine lover and fair player of the game in Brayshaw may end up playing his last game for the Club he loves. Footy aside I just hope he does what is best for his future as the brain plays longer in life than a footy life. As for Maynard visiting Brayshaw at home.... Yeah.... bet he would not have done it if the hit was not as serious as it may well become. One final point and that is .............. if Maynard at the tribunal of his defense raises one statement about how sincere he is by visiting Brayshaw I will know that it is all an act on his part. Just look at his history. And as for Buckley's comments.... He should be rubbed out... for what he said about the incident. "Collingwood legend Nathan Buckley says he doesn’t believe Brayden Maynard’s collision with Angus Brayshaw warrants suspension, suggesting there’s too much “grey area” in the AFL’s focus on duty of care."

I have learned to not believe a thing any Collywobble person says.....

While ya at it, drop Hibbo ( too slow these days but love ya service.) for Disco, bring in JJ for Smith and yeah - play Grundy.. God bless yo Brayshaw hope you come through O.K.....

My point is that no one has confirmed it was a concussion yet.

That's a bit tough to say that when we do not know what has happened to Brayshaw yet don't you think ?

Agree. Smith and McDonald should never get another game. But there again who do we replace them with. ?

It's difficult to determine who is right. Goody should, I believe support his players the way he is doing now, any difference would be irresponsible. On the other hand, it may well play out for other Clubs to increase their desperation "offer" for a player who obviously has a lot of talent. The trade period will settle that argument, just so long we come out the winner in the end whether it be we retain Grundy or trade him.

Better players ahead of him. Smith will be Sub against the Swans.

Not a bad selection. The only change I would make is to dump Smith and bring in McDonald, if only for his experience and a run b4 the finals

The Pies on the MCG for my preference...

I see your point BUT doesn't it come down to who we would prefer to play in week one... Like Brisbane in Brisbane or Port in Adelaide...?

And we will be the winner from that trade with at least a first or second-round pick, (or players of our liking)

Grundy's days at the MFC are done.. Play Grundy and we lose.

I agree, sad to say that we seem to play better with Grundy out of the team. I think J.J. should be dropped and maybe Laurie or someone of his ilk to come in.

watch this space, just my view that I am entitled to have.

watch this space.

Bring in Dunstan.....

Excuse me.. we should never release ANB or Salem. They are needed senior players who have played well this year. There are lots of knockers around of ANB but he is the heart and soul of our Club as is Salem.

OUT: Smith ( never to return) JJ (to be sub) Grundy IN: Tomlinson Harmes Hibberd FF Tracca.

That's Ok... Just thought it was funny though, a rest may well do them some good for the finals.. Hope Goody takes your suggestion seriously.

So I take it we are resting Gawny and Viney next week are we ?
