Bystander

I'll speak to charles

Re Bell, I have seen him play quite a bit so I must fit into the clueless group. I think he has shown steady improvement...if the improvement continues, which I expect, he may well have merit.

My, probably minority and certainly irrelevant, reaction to Daniher heading home for the birth is disbelief. That reaction must be shared by at least some of his team. Good. The conception is another matter. Should be there on that occasion.

Or Saturday.

No booking required last game

Yes, that is what subrule (e) says, but it is followed by (g) which says despite other rules maximum 12 games. It also says b applies which provides that if a player has played a game in the ones after 1 July, he has to have played 6 VFL games to be eligible. What complicates matters is that while 20.g is expressed to be despite the other rules, so is 20.e. Good fodder for the High Court now that appeals to Privy Council are abolished. But, maybe I'm wrong.

It is Rule 20, see subrule b and g. Really hard to read and I get paid to read stuff and understand it. What makes it hard is that most of the subrules start off by saying in effect "despite the other rules..." but you end up going in circles.

I stand to be corrected, but I'm not sure bowey is eligible to play. He has played too many AFL games , more than 12? I managed to find the rule, 20, but it is extremely difficult to interpret. Written by a very big committee?

Forecast for Saturday...cold and rain. Rather different to last encounter against this mob.

Forget double header. It's at Casey, unless there is a change of heart...which I very much doubt

There is always a lot of unhappiness at Sandy dragons around the favouritism issue, not only of team selection but positions. So mediocore Johnny would turn up from Haileybury and get plonked straight in as a midfielder. Vic Metro selection seems to have similar bias. Of course, people very reluctant to rock the boat and comment.

That's quite funny, lord nev.

Absolutely perfect conditions here at Casey with quite a crowd building.

Bell a little unlucky. I think he has come along well this year.

Just did...someone with better skills than me will out it up here.

He played AFL as well.

My understanding is Jordan can't play VFL as he played AFL last week, used medical sub.?

Little unfair to suggest you couldn't explain to pies supporters how to get to Geelong. Instead of turning right to port Philip prison or later Barwon prison, keep going straight.

Does Jordan qualify to play.? I thought if you had played an AFL game after 1 July you had to have played 6 VFL games to qualify? Happy to be corrected.

You have Rosman in. I see he has to undergo test. Or has he passed test.? Casey chances won't be helped if McDonald plays limited minutes. Likely ?

Confirmed. Casey fields, 1.05 pm Saturday.

Re location this weekend...AFL statement on VFL finals implied home grounds, so Casey fields....but don't take that as gospel.

Saints only 13 points down,,,,7 points down, put calculators on pause,

It is now in the, at least, online version of the Herald Sun.
