More than the next in line.

Not quite. First Boyd’s contract could have been heavily front loaded and even if not he has retired and done a deal to end his contract. Buddy or more particularly the Swans can not do that as the AFL passed the Buddy rule as they were furious with the Swans at the time.

Yes. Without him we have only one possibility and his best at the moment is fumbling marks and if lucky kicking the ball off the ground into the goal post from 2 metres out.

Did you tell him you were a Dees fan? That is not good for the ticker. Seriously though, I hope you are well and continue to be so for many years to come well into your old age and enjoy seeing a few more Dees flags, though one would be nice for starters.

I went across to Perth and saw that game with the family. It was sensational. I gave us no hope whatsoever, with the injury ravaged team we had, just like tomorrow.Can lightning strike twice? My son and I were asked to help with the banner and we were more than happy to oblige. A very memorable day indeed.

Will be surprised if he doesn't sign a new deal with us before the end of the season, well south of his original ambit figure.

Wish the boy well for the future, but with his manager, $2m won't be left on the table. There might be a saving to the Dogs and more cap space in 20/21 and a mid year draft pick, but don't always believe what you read. He will get most of that contracted $7m is my belief. If properly invested, he will have an income for life, even if he never works again.

Trying to make his dad happy.

Is having 24 hours straight, goal kicking practice.

Given his recent form I don't think this will be his last season.

Not really. The monkeys are able to pass their peanuts to each other without dropping them, or landing them in the lion's enclosure, unlike our inability to handle a footy.

182 cms. He can kick so not interested.

I did.

Disagree to a degree. I would rest plenty of our better players and give others a go, as this is a short week and a pretty hard task. I would freshen up Gawn, Oliver, Viney, Tom Mc, Frost etc and play Spargo, ANB, Smith, Preuss, Sparrow, Baker etc. Then we could load up and start our comeback against the Giants in 9 days at the G, where they play poorly. We would be fresh and ready to go against a top Team who don't like the G. To me there would be more chance of winning that game, than the Eagles after a short week and 2 interstate trips in a row.

Thanks Raymond.

Me too. If we can develop the young blokes we drafted this year, I'd be happy with that too. If we can draft and trade in some more skill and pace, I'd be happy with that too. If we can reduce our injury list and get the blokes we need back on the park, I'd be happy with that too. If we can stop fumbling and learn to pass to our forwards, not their opponents, I'd be happy with that too. You can see it doesn't take much to make me happy.

You are welcome .

David King said something we should look at. He said if we want to win, stop kicking it to the other side. That simply put is what we need to do. Problem is we can't, because most of the players are poorly skilled and under pressure or even without it, our poor disposal just leads to turnovers and ultimately easy goals, as we struggle to run back the other way. If we did that yesterday we would have won by a minimum of 5 goals.

Disagree. He went for goal but miskicked it and it tumbled in the air. He was 40 out and a point would win it. He went for goal.

Best compliment I can find is shameful footy.

Lets go draft some more hard no skill players. Lewis finished, enough of the one handed tackles and turnovers. Garlett shat himself 3 times going for a mark. Magnificent. Petracca is the worst kick for goal in AFL history and is just a player who destroys the efforts of his team mates. Keilty, sorry Drunk’n, but he is having a shocker. Not sure why Preuss wasn’t played. Preuss had 49 hit outs and 2 goals for Casey today. World record entries in F50 for least return. They are the most poorly skilled side in the AFL and plenty of us have said it for a few years now and to me nothing has been done about it. Even if we fluke a win today what I said stands. It is actually embarrassing watching us play. How can you as an AFL player not be able to kick, mark and handball. It defies logic.

Did Misson, the Doctor or the Coach send Joel back onto the ground? That is the question and the issue. If the Doctor said don’t and he was overruled, then it is that person we should be discussing.

That should put it to rest and make everyone understand why his father, an ex afl player btw, is upset.

Yes.

What else could Joel say publicly. He is listed as 6-8 weeks and if it is 8, that is 70% of the season he will have missed. If it is the club's fault, then you can understand why his father is furious, as would Joel be, privately, you would imagine.
