I found that very surprising. It was really quite obvious.

"can't hit targets by foot" - that one is incorrect.

Essendon..
It isn't? But isn't the AFL all about fairness, inclusiveness and equality?

Who will the Demons target next?
Is Usain Bolt available as a free agent?

They also have great disposal and a fantastic mid field.

PREGAME: Rd 05 vs St. Kilda
He got it 8 times last week and I saw him not tackle a number of times. Agree with you that he needs to get the ball more and have more defensive pressure. He is good with ball in hand though.

PREGAME: Rd 05 vs St. Kilda
I noticed and heard Hodge telling Roseberry he had made some mistakes and then later Umpire 22 at the end of the 2nd quarter.

Injury List - Season 2019
Looking like we may have made a mistake in not letting him go to the Swans and trying to get Zak Jones as part of a deal. We are unlucky with our trades, in that we got Lever, May and KK denying us young kids in the draft and all 3 are not playing. Meanwhile Jesse, while not dominating, is at least playing. Before some of you jump on me, I said we were unlucky our 3 aren't playing because of injury.

Billy Stretch Appreciation Thread
He seems to be the current whipping boy. He had twice the possessions of Spargo but is out. He is not getting a continuous run at it and in that scenario you are nervous in your game, thinking that one mistake and you are out. He is no champion, but has pace and disposal skill, something we lack and the Saints don't. I can't see Lewis playing saturday and wednesday night after a hammy return. Maybe he will be a late out and Billy comes back in. Maybe they want Billy for the Tigers. If Billy is not getting games during the year, I think he will leave. We were flat footed against the Saints at the G last year and that is my big fear saturday.

Buddy?
Bigger BS. Re writing history is an art form for some. I have never to my memory denigrated a player, other than this bloke, who has left us for greater financial reward and there have been plenty over the years. This bloke is a scumbag. His lying is there for all to see. To our dying President, to the members when he said I am staying and want to be a one club player, to his team mates, even to the public at large. when he was interviewed at Sydney Airport with his family and said he was just having a look around and then the next day a video was being sold at outlets with him in his GWS gear. We know the video wasn’t made that night. I suspect he even lied to GWS about his injury to get to Hawthorn just like he did with that terrible knee injury he had, which disappeared when he left us for GWS. To me this bloke is scum.

Sam Weideman + contract
Agree it will get done, but it may be for a shorter period say 2 years and at less money. That will allow him to back himself in for improvement.
-
Buddy?
No, because he would cost us more higher ranked young kids and we have passed on too many in the last couple of drafts.

Injury List - Season 2019
Possibly, but a bloke who is limping around with an injury, who continues to play and seems to be limping worse at the end of the game than earlier, has most likely worsened his injury , rather than improved it. I think that is a fair conclusion to draw, given The extended period he is now facing on the sidelines. However, as you said, or not.

I think you can say season and hope it is not.

Injury List - Season 2019
At first blush the Joel Smith situation is a disgrace. Quite likely if he was removed from the ground in the JLT game when he hurt himself, the injury would have been less severe.

Changes: Rd 05 v St. Kilda
Saints have pace and Billy needs to stay in. No good dropping him after one game every time, it is destroying any confidence he needs. I would give him 2-3 games at least and give him the opportunity.

If Spargo becomes John Townsend, ANB will become Greg Parke. It is not happening.

Roaming Brian - Round 4 vs Swans
He just walked past me in an Elsternwick car park. Has lost a fair bit of weight.
