Fullarton could be tried in some different roles, whereas Imo Billings is a bust.

Can’t imagine any Dees fan not enjoying that.

I agree we don’t owe Hunter anything and now I will tell you why we will give him his 200th game. It’s because we are aware of culture and the credits in the bank we will get from players and their Managers from doing it. Even our own players will be happy for him and it’s all part of building a good club culture. Players know what’s going on and clubs sometimes have to help their players, just as we expect everything every game from the players. He may not deserve a game on form, but the likelihood is that we will delist him in a few weeks and his AFL career will be over. We are not playing finals and we have the chance to thank a bloke for choosing our club and help him with a small gesture, to achieve a milestone, which he will treasure and why it was done would be obvious to the entire AFL community. Even played as a sub, he gets there for just one more appearance. It will create positive publicity if we do and maybe even more negative publicity if we don’t. Who knows the benefits this can bring and it is only a small gesture after all and again builds culture in the playing group and could even help secure future players. From where we are now, the lower we go, the bigger the long term benefits in better draft picks, higher trading picks and a softer draw next year and playing Hunter once more won’t hurt that. Therefore I am pretty certain barring any mishap, that Hunter will get another game with us and I would be happy with that for both Hunter and the club and it’s culture.

That’s good because it isn’t at Marvel.

We will give him his 200th even if he is sub.

To the Manor born.

Well at least it won’t be wet.

I am probably even less confident.

Is that near Romsey?

With Barass possibly leaving and McGovern nearing the end, if this bloke is any good would they let him go?

You will have to get Peatling to choose us first and to demand a trade to us second.

On 199 games and we play his old side this week. Think he might play.

Ok if you are unsure. 🤔

You are unsure it was sarcasm? Ok.

I think that was sarcasm.

Was a maiden after 6 starts, who could tip it? Btw, I don’t bet and don’t tip, for fear of anger when most tips lose, as they usually do.

Centre Square a horse I am in with Clarry, won the 3rd race today at Ballarat.

Yes just updated my post.

What has happened to the Swans? Maybe not having Rowbotham, Papley, McInerney, Mills and Rampe might have something to do with it. JUH, Naughton and Darcy are 3 pretty good key forwards. It has been said of course but do we beat Blues, Lions and GWS last night with Trac, Gus, Salem, Spargo and Smith playing. 100% you need luck in footy.

Well before the media writes us off next year, they should take note of this stat, even after the horrible year we have had with unavailable players. If we scored just 10 more points in total over 3 games, thereby winning them, we would be 2nd today, despite everything.

Do you think he played well yesterday? If he played like that every week he would be a regular. We actually improve with hungry footballers, instead of too many very comfortable ones.

How does Toby go from standing with the ball, to on his knees, where a waist high correctly applied tackle, is now on his shoulder? Pathetic and costs us a goal, which is more than the losing margin. The umpires boss said they wouldn’t pay ducking. Their movement on the mark, which cost us another goal was ignored all night. Dillon and Kane need to stop lying about the standard of umpiring and put some money into helping train umpires, instead of grabbing millions in salary like pigs at a trough.

I am not a fan of Bill, but agree with your post. He was ok yesterday and deserves a run at it to build confidence and a sense of belonging. He could be another mid that we so desperately need more of. He is already our player so let’s see what he has.

In the Bombers game Kozzie got a 50 for stepping over the mark, when the mark wasn even set and the umpire hadn’t yet called stand resulting in a Bombers gift goal. Have seen that 20 times since in suffer without penalty. Last night Kozzie gets grabbed in goal square without ball and play on and then Toby Greene blatantly ducks and gets charity goal. We lose by 2 points. Against Lions, Rivers loses a goal for running too far, actually 13 steps and we lose by 5 points. Have not seen a goal reversed for that in a few years. It is hard to take when controversial goals lose you the game and we have had it several times this year, with Carlton 1 point loss another, after Kozzie goal reversed incorrectly for a dangerous tackle, that was actually Kemp staging after he stopped the ball. Not once this year has it given us a win, which is the only consistency.

On a positive note, with so many things going against us this year, we have lost to 3 finalists by less than a goal.
