Everything is a risk. I say we rest those who we then want to 100% for the rest of the season. Anyone watch North on Sunday? My god, they are Shiite!

I doubted Petty. Im glad Im wrong!

I have lost faith in Petty this year. Im not surprised its just me BTW. But after one half of good football so far this whole year, why does he again get picked?

The fact that we have a good few picks in a good draft shouldnt let us dismiss the absolute good fortune of being in the position to get Harley. Hardly any other club could tempt WC and they are all in tatters. I think we must must back JT but hell i hope we go for it!

We need to consider Petty's one good half of football this year, without thinking how promising he has shown in the past and how much we need him to come good.

I think Petty was tried forward this year as he wasnt going as well in the backline as previous. Thats probably just my idea :). He then has had issues up forward as well as injuries. I think he should be discussed in this light of not having a good season. Tommo while Frost-Like at times is doing a solid job and Id prefer Smithy to be up forward for a full game. I think Harry needs to put together at least another couple at Casey. Or Sub at best.

I am really happy for Choco to continue. Brings a real toughness mixed with humour which I believe our side needs.

I dont bet much but i enjoy it more than tipping. I work with a guy who has a leg of all sorts of sports into his wekend bets. Soccer, NRL, Tennis, he has plenty but he knows I think it is a problem. I told him today I used his name and password to ban him from gambling online in all betting sites in Australia. For his own good. I had him going for a minute or two. He was aghast.

So no sudden outs for the Dees? Then it was a massive plunge on the Lions probably for the betting to move that suddenly.

Im a bit surprised at this sweeping statement. Many followers of the Southern League have watched his junior games in awe. Quite a few said he won a flag off his own back. Modest too. Not available as Father-son, His father only played 90 games for the saints and the backlash against getting more shorties has been butt of many jokes that St. Kilda ran out of size small jumpers. I believe he is in the top echelon of talent at the club. Well top 8 anyway and will only get better. Anyone this talented will find a spot even though he is small and light. If it is to play as a defensive forward yes, he hasnt the weight for that and may not have it ever, but we need to include him for his kicking accuracy and his time and space cleanliness. I think he is that good.

Ok keep kicking from 50 into the square with 10 players going up there. I dont know why I thought it wasnt working.

Um.. kick straight against any of a few losses this year already and we win. Lets at least not try to kick from 50 unless your David Neitz. Pass to someone in the pocket and let them kick around the corner. Higher percentage of a good score. Forwards need to create space. Its not rocket surgery.

Bowey and Smith > Jordon

Robert Klomp won the Rank Arena TV, in an Escort Cup I remember. 3 possessions I think.

I honestly thought everyone played to their best. Yes there were mistakes but the run and attack from every Demon won the day

Any other training news?

When you play in a competative sport sometimes during the season you graft your way into form. You get the neccesary wins. We have the personnel, we are tuning up. We are right in it.

We need a good tall in Defense, more so now since I watched Jake Lever present himself for many marks which he dropped last week. They than became leaked goals. I havent seen this mentioned but Im not one to scour through reviews. If we only play Tomlinson then we need good ground assists down back. McVee has been missing in comparison to the 1st couple of game but Im encouraged by Salem and Hibbo. Bowie goes missing. Id like to see Spargs tried there. I hope Petty comes back in defense for his solid marking, May IMHO has been very good but a lone pair of hands.

My understanding is that tears and strains are the same. But Mild Strains (Grade 1) are at least 3 weeks recovery.

My sons 21. When he was 3 he said he wanted to barrack for Poor Adelaide because he was sorry for them.

HFC and media organisations will just say it was their duty to report. So how can you sue people who have not much to risk? It will have to come, and I believe it will come, from the AFL.

RC hates Melbourne. I was standing near him in 2012 when he was talking to my Bombers supporting mate at a kids Soccer game chortling at length about how we would remain [censored] for at least another generation. He went on to say things about what we stand for and how irrelevant we are. I remeber it well.RC left TV media because he found it too stressful and said it scared him. I have no love at all for the person. If he has changed, I guess I wont know as I avoid his content. Ok I feel better now :)

I think swans will win. Elite pressure now. Got more marbles than Freo in the last Id reckon.

come on Swannies. 2 in a row
