There is no doubt that decisions are made in sport and in this case footy, by clubs about the abilities of players to play in various positions and to play to a certain standard. It seems to me that for reasons of pride, tightness of lists, or whatever, some of those decisions are never revisited by the makers of them. That is why some players leave clubs and go on to successful careers at other clubs. Of course others are never heard of again. I have always thought it is a difficult decision to make in many cases. Just look at the divergence of opinions among the fans. As an example, I thought Deakyn Smith could make it for us. The powers that be differ. That is their job to make decisions and no doubt they are often difficult and lineball. I accept that if these decisions weren't made, playing lists would hardly change.

My post if you look back at it, was directed at bringing a fresh Schache on in the last quarter and was not about the actual selection of Tom to play in the game. I think its a bit unfair to say a criticism of a player is a cheap shot, just because other players made mistakes. If you can only point out things when everyone else is perfect, we should all stop all criticism of our players and Coaches. Can I mention the times when Tom was in the forward line as the second ruck and didn't get to the contest a few times? My point is that we had a fresh bloke on the bench and he could have been used. Would we have won, who knows?

Snake.

Have said the same myself and it is very hard to argue against. Even that last goal came from an intercept and pass from an injured Weitering, with Tom Mac no where near him. I don't blame Tom, but Schache could have done something, while Tom did nothing.

Werridee, IMO the best band ever and not in your top 100, wow. Of course I am talking about the Doobie Brothers, my all time favourite. Btw you left out another quite good little band, called the Beatles. I know doing these lists is a tough job, so kudos for your effort.

Here's hoping.

Cider.

Pinky.

Granny.

I am waiting for the inevitable pair of Koreans joke.

Agree. Improve ball use and we are a real contender. “Team first” return to mindset wouldn’t hurt either.

Blake Howes.

Too many dangerous weirdos around.

These are the sort of world impacting issues we should be concerned about on DL and credit to you for raising it. We have enough of stupid footy cr-p on the other threads. BTW, I think the yellow is pineapple.

I have a film for you Biff, Saltburn on Amazon Prime. Should be right up your alley.

Yes of course. So easy to miss the obvious.

Ollie is going to be a fascinating watch for me this year. Unusual body shape and looks shorter than his listed 188 cms as a result. No doubt as to his talent. Everyone seems to agree that his fitness will be a big part of his development. He could be the sort of kid who has another year at Casey and then explodes. Looking forward to seeing him gain AFL level fitness and give himself every chance to make it.

First I don’t understand what the CO stands for, have I missed something? While I don’t see the need for a name change, I wouldn’t totally be against it. Perhaps the “DL no B$ Thread” would be acceptable. Anyway it does seem to have been a major success and why change a winning formula? It is the longest, most read, most posted, most pages thread in DL history, so no real need to change it.

Turn on the hose and point it over the fence and yell the ship is sinking.

Get a mike and keep singing Tie A Yellow Ribbon and Roberta Flack’s The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face, that should stop them.

As I always do. I am sure there are some woke posters that will decry it.

We agree on that. There is only one Willy Wonka.

I am familiar with that game.
