Well let’s reverse the situation and take 10 of their best 22 out and put our 10 back in, would there be a difference? Aside from that our disposal is the worst in the AFL. Also none of our mids have had 10 possies in half a game. Any wonder that this injury ravaged, non skilled team is being beaten by one of the most talented teams in the AFL. That is as positive as I can get.

Giants at nearly full strength against Casey. What do you expect?

Ever heard of giving a player every chance to play?

Joke is we could have a full list to choose from late in the season, when we have no chance to make finals.

Very interesting.

Robbo showed it on 360 and said he was really moved when he first saw it and then again when it was shown last night. We all tend to forget in our passion for the club and winning, that these guys have lives away from footy and that events outside of the game can clearly impact on their performance. Good luck to Oskar and hope he has a long career with us.

Have we got a game this weekend?

Never a truer word was said.

Cockatoo-Collins brothers too. The Rittermans also, though one only played practice matches.

Truly lovely moment. I lost my mum when I was 38 and have never got over it. Oskar lost his mum before he was 21. He has done it hard. All the best to him and his family. I hope he has a great career with us. Football clubs do sometimes present a window into players lives and this was one that has brought us closer to the player and his family.

Agree BB. I was also proud of our boys in their moral win ( won everywhere but the scoreboard) with a severely depleted side, in Perth against a stronger premier than the GF (Barrass out and Gaff and Shepperd in ) after 2 consecutive interstate trips and a short break. Unbelievable really. Was nearly the 2 nd miracle result of the weekend. I was angry at Trac, Jeffy and Tom for their inaccuracy, but then sad for Trac, as you can see in his face he is panic stricken when shooting for goal. It is not the yips, it is a mental doubt in his ability to convert and I hope he is seeing someone, be it professionally, or a past player to get over this. There is fear in his eyes and I feel sorry for him, he is over trying. Back to the match, Robbo said if we won it could be the best win if any club in the last 20 years. That is a big statement and guess what, we kick straight and had better umpiring and it may have happened.

But that is the point, we don't.

Gee that is pretty bad. Why is he still with us?

Injuries have cruelled Dees and Casey.

What is it with our club? 16 injuries. Eagles had 2 out. Kent playing his 9th straight and Hogan also. Both missed all the time with us injured. What is the story?

I saw that too and just couldn't believe it. He ran 40 metres without a bounce. Perhaps the noise of the crowd not only deafens players it blinds umpires.

Yes they are all injured.

Them.

Missed 4 easy goals from inside 20 and dropped a simple uncontested mark 20 out. Momentum killers and kept the Eagles in the game. Nails them and we are probably 5-6 goals up going into the last.

I'm with you brother.

Jetta will be suspended and if we are really lucky the umpires will admit a mistake. Wowee!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Darling did the knee and then passed to Kennedy. Absolutely blatant..

Yes.

Are you serious. A goal to Kennedy from a free that commentators admitted wasnt there early. A throw in the goal square for a goal in the last. A ball touched on the goal line allowed to stand. A player speared to the ground 20 out, straight in front, in what all commentators agreed was a reportable dangerous tackle, with the player concussed, with the WA umpire 10 metres away, in the last, when scores were tied and then allows the player to play on ahead of the mark to goal and cause a 2 goal turn around. A total failure to pay a block or hold to any of our forwards despite it happening over and over, yet paying slight bumps or holds at the other end. David King saying their will be a lot of anger from the Dees at the umpires and Eddie highlighting the dangerous tackle incident and calling it unbelievable. Oh come on. Yes we kicked poorly but we are discussing the umpires.

No he turns 21 this week.
