You may have something there with Weid named as an emergency. Tomlinson is very unlucky, as he has been in great form with Casey. I wonder if he could be tried forward if the opportunity arises.

Ar you sure it's not the sheep?

Wont be the Lions with their 3 tall forwards. Don't think Blues either with their 3 tall forwards. Can't see it being us, with LJ and Gus to re-contract and Weid and JVR outside the best 22 atm. I think the Dogs, Swans, Dockers and Cats, if Hawkins has indicated he is retiring, are the main chances, if it is indeed true. If i was picking one, I would say the Dogs have the biggest need.

I believe so . PM Demonland.

Probably not, but I am sure it isn't changed on any legal documents and will revert back on sunday.

I am not sure of the salary cost, which may impact LJ/Gus deals, but if they didn't, I wonder why we wouldn't fill a need now. We need a developing ruckman, who might not be available in the next draft at our pick. There is obviously a good reason if we don't participate and given our recent drafting/trading, it would be very difficult to criticize such a decision. The next AFL draft may really be a few needs selections, rather than best available, given our list atm.

All three of my teams are undefeated so far this season, Dees, Casey and Narrm.

That is like the "sorry you took my statement the wrong way" apology. It's not an apology at all for a hurtful statement. In this case Bevo lights the fire, but doesn't put it out, but rather says he will not add any more fuel to it. What about " I got that wrong:? That would put an end to it. I think he has gone from being a sensible coach to a [censored].

Charming. I recall as Team Manager of the Dees in 1979, I was warned to not linger in the race at Victoria Park, if I wanted to avoid being doused in urine, from cups or cans that had been used as urinals. Spit was another issue to be careful of. I went up and down the race in record time.

Are we going to create space for a pick?

How rich from the umpires’ pet team.

With a few out injured Melksham will get his 200 this week. Agree with others that he is no longer in our best 23.

Did you notice a player in number 13 for us? He was so far BOG, that he may have got all 6 votes from the umpires and I for one would say that wasn’t even enough. I have never seen anyone do some of the things he does. We had Robbie the most skilled player I have ever seen. We now have Clarrie, the best contested possession player I have ever seen, who I am simply in awe of and am so grateful he is one of ours. Thank you Jason Taylor.

Lot of scragging.

Gus not concussed so he gets nothing.

That song was originally done by Steam. Don’t know if Bananarama covered it later.

Blues 20 frees to 7 and 5 goals from free kicks. They are playing good footy as well. The club I dislike most in the AFL. Can’t stand to see them playing well.

Going for our first win against the Roos at Marvel.

It had to come, as it has been everywhere else.

As there is nothing else happening on that day, it will be great to watch the Dees as the main event in town, or the Country for that matter.

Big event on saturday, Dees v Roos.

JVR might be only 193 cms, but he plays like 194 cms.

Did he get a week when he kissed his brother?

Disappointing. Well we at least hold some records for MRO/Tribunal penalties. Only club to have a player suspended for 4 matches for a sling tackle ( twice - ANB and Jack Trengove) Only club to have a player suspended for rough play, without actual contact with the opposition player ( Brent Moloney ) Only player to be suspended for an elbow on the throat of an opponent ( Viney ) One of few if any other clubs, to have a player suspended for 2 matches, for an otherwise legal tackle, that became illegal, only as a result of the opponent being concussed. Only club that has had a player suspended for standing still, while a player ran into him, bounced off and got a whiplash concussion without head contact ( May ). I am sure I have missed a few other records we hold at the MRO/Tribunal.

I think we should support Kade and appeal. Win or lose it doesn’t matter, just show support for our player. FWIW the last few tackle suspensions appealed were successful, if I recall correctly. Someone posted that Hawkins has concussed 3 players in tackles without suspension. He is much bigger than Kade and able to do more damage with heavy tackles, but has repeatedly got away with it. There are plenty of precedents to show to the Tribunal.
