Redleg

He didn't seem very confident on 360 the other night, about being ok to play.

Correct. Everyone did it, but she only goes after us and thereby says by inference, we were the only ones. The compere of the show, Eddie, even admitted his club had tanked and that everyone had done it. I heard him say it some years ago on a show. Libba, a Blues assistant coach at the time, dobbed in the Blues for tanking on TV. It was allegedly investigated by the AFL, then suddenly Libba sheepishly modified his story, obviously after being PERSUADED to. Terry Wallace also admitted that he did it at Caro's club the Tigers, which she will never , ever mention. I think there were a couple of others who admitted it was a practice in the game due, to the Priority Picks being available. I would give Caro more credit if she at least told the truth or was not selective with it and said Melbourne were the only team dealt with by the AFL for Tanking, but that it was in fact widely practiced in the competition. The media at the time would joke that Boards should be sacked if they didn't do it and take advantage of the PP's.

They did a good little analysis of Melksham’s role on 360. He is clearly playing his role of cutting off an interceptor and also providing an option inside F50.

Who would you drop?

Agree. I added a bit to my post as you were posting about if BBB is fit. Anyway we will see what happens with selection.

Jack certainly had that scary look. Do you think he has spoken to Goody and knows that JVR is in? I think it would be a huge call in a big game like this. Not saying it wouldn’t work, just a lot more pressure on the kid. If BBB is fit it’s unlikely, given wet night and Melksham is playing his role.

Expect all restaurants and cafes to increase prices pretty dramatically, to cover rising food and running costs. Fact of life these days.

Well that is consistent with what I saw, rather than buttocks. He still may not get up given short week for them.

He had ice on his leg. What was that for? Not sure he will play.

Grundy not playing. Howe and Mihocek, who always plays well against us, having fitness tests. Adams out is a plus.

No, too refined actually.

Won’t happen. Dislike champagne too.

Never tasted more than one drop of scotch, didn’t like it and never had it since.

Love the optimism!

Hopefully BBB gets back to his best and we then go with Weid getting the 3rd best backman. Atm its looking like Melk/Weid for that spot.

You left out his "sensational" for a regulation chest mark and " unbelievable " for a regulation goal from 10 metres out, straight in front.

We can win it without Tom. Just saw Bowey has crossed to North. It is his sister Hannah.

Can we win the next 6 games?

Probably because of money wagered earlier and they don’t want too much on one team as it gets clearer on the chances.

Bruce will be gone for starters.

Freo demanded and got pick 2 for Lachie Weller. That would value Jackson as the whole city of Fremantle.

Who said it was this week?

Retired players have to wait 18 months before going back into the draft. He will be pushing towards 40 by then. I think he is originally a Perth boy.

A poster said we are heavily into Grundy and may even have a deal in place. I wouldn't think that would be true, if we retain Jacko.

I wonder if that is to calm the masses and the media.
