I hope to hell we don’t get an injured player because of this crap. MFCSS.

Either we bring our pressure game now or goodnight. Umps will find a few more goals for Eagles as they always do. We need to win that contested ball and create scoring opportunities.

His improvement has been great.

Joel Smith has played 18 games in 6 years and is 25 years 6 months old. He is 191 cms tall. Weid has played 49 games in 6 years and is 24 years and 1 month. He is 195 cms tall. We seem to have plenty pushing Weid out the door but not Smith. Given our lack of options, we probably keep them both, until better is available.

Normally I would say you are being overly emotive when you say it is borderline cheating, BUT, those two frees were disgraceful and totally wrong. Perfectly tackled, with the ball and he drops it both times and then gets the free. Umpires can't be that bad, can they? They were clear to see and blatant. I note a commentator said perfect tackle after both incidents and then went quiet. I hope to hell these decisions are raised on the Footy shows tonight, but of course they won't be. Just looked on the AFL match highlights and of course neither free shown.

I think this is the game JV would have been very helpful, a hard at it slog.

Won them a flag. Happy for Weid to do that for us. Boyd also had mental health issues, I am not aware of Weid having those issues.

Happy to draft a key forward, but I would back Weid in. This is the same kid who was BOG in a final.

Going to be an ugly, tough, wet weather game, that we must win.

Yep 5-0 atm including a soft free 10 out.

Your welcome. It was a difficult question to answer. How much do we have to pay for a player in matched points, when we don’t know what we have to match.

Well done ANB. It is a great achievement to play 100 AFL games. I am one who wanted you gone and is still not really a fan, but that doesn’t mean your good games and achievements can’t be recognised. Congrats and hopefully your 100th is a big Dees win with you playing well.

Depends at what pick he is nominated, if at all.

You are not alone.

Only playing with you. Any club would grab him.

Hard to argue against. I think Selwood could actually shoot someone and get off.

You mean a type of player who kicked 2 points against the Blues and can’t get a kick against us.

Why the angst? All he did was run past the ball and bump a guy who was bending down, in the head. About the 5th time too and will finally get suspended if he does it 3 more times.

But if they want Clarko and he wants a year off, that could cause issues, unless Hawks let him have his full contract fee, even if he coaches another club.

That’s a bit over the top don’t you think? He made a private, racist comment to a mate, that was overheard. We don’t even know what he actually said. He copped 6 games and a $20000.00 fine, not to mention public humiliation. Think he has copped his whack. You want to end his AFL career, seriously?

I would have thought in the predicted very wet game, a harder player might have got the nod, like VDB or even JJ. Maybe they want Melksham’s foot skills in the poor conditions, to score, or set up a couple of goals.

You forgot Beamer, who got 2 weeks, for no contact at all with a Cats player. Every new, weird decision, does seem to involve us.

The commentators on kayo freebie referred to Laurie Bailey continuously during the Casey game. He appears almost identical to Bailey Laurie, so maybe we could draft him and have two of them.

There you have it. A concise summary. As I said in an earlier post, the AFL has adopted a result/injury based penalty system, except where there is no injury, medical treatment, or even leaving the ground, if it looks bad. Then make it up on the fly.

JJ.
