Bystander

Not

Someone is going to have to step up in the tackling department. Munro was prolific and Grey often not far behind. Will miss Grey's skills. Very unusual to lose 2 from leadership group...I expect they both would have been peeved to have 7 available players sitting in the stands in their last game, a final. Both played critical roles in the 22 grand final.

Ex player Mark "Jacko" Jackson might be available. Could cover the goal kicking practice as well.

Yes, we are told that. But it seems that process is gone through then the best footballer is picked. So, question: if Johnny from Wangaratta comes from a terrible family situation and wagged school is ranked equally in football terms with Nigel from Scotch college from an unblemished professional family and topped Latin, are you going with Johnny or Nigel? I think I'm going with Johnny as there should be more upside. To their very great credit, some of our most outstanding players have come from extremely challenging backgrounds and, despite stumbles, have emerged really great people.

Someone needs an atlas or a new travel agent. Melb Perth is 2,700 km. Perth Esperance 600km. Round trip 6,600 km. I don't think our correspondent is up for a Pulitzer prize.

He only needs to be picked in AFL team once to maybe get a premiership medal.

Exactly. Let's hope he proves us wrong. His contribution in his appearances for Casey this year were very modest but he apparently did well for Vic metro. He will now have his opportunity which is justified.

That "expert" evidence was inexpert. And barely challenged. Maynard's intent was to collect Brayshaw.

Bit unfair. Smith helped Weitering up.

There was absolutely no problem with May making those comments. And, as you say, particularly in that company.

Shame to see George Grey go. Highly skilled on both sides.

My head is spinning. This is a job for Bletchley Park.

Very hard to learn to kick with other foot at that age...just saying.

Generally just a blood test now. So easy. I think a lot of men were put off by the traditional test. As for the bowel cancer test they send out. Finally got around to it. So easy ! You owe it to not only yourself but your loved ones. Do it NOW. Don't think, DO.

Same woman also said ' annus horribilis.' Would have been a dees supporter.

Cannot say. Did not understand most of it.

I watched his last games for Casey. He lifted and definitely looked like someone trying hard to get in the ones. And why wouldn't he, demons were a big chance for a premiership and every player covets those !

In my experience, men that could play tell everyone within earshot their sons are better, those of us that were not so good tell our sons that we were better and definitely braver. Saw Kynan play, has ability...congrats to all.

Please don't remind me. And a fit Grundy watching from the stands.

Thanks for posting that article. But does anyone know how to access the actual AFL rules that govern drafting, F/S, rookies etc. I've looked but can't find.

very generous of you.

It seems I have upset everyone by saying "saved his life" might be a little dramatic. So I retract and humbly apologise to all offended. I admit the bloke would have definitely died. Painfully. Now fully recovered. JFK performed a similar feat in WW2 near Bouganville and they made him president. So, I say, Roffey , you are out.

Glad he helped...but 'saved his life" might be a touch dramatic.

Nice bloke jack Mueller...used to say "how good would I have been with 5 fingers". ( Only had 3 on one hand. I believe kicked 8,6 and 6 goals in the PF,GF and GF replay in 48?
