I recall reading on DL many posts as to what a crap player Frost is and should be traded at the end of the year. I posted he should be in the side, after Lever was injured and certainly ahead of Petty, who I think will become a very good player for us. After a few games back in the side, he was lauded by DL and the media,for his attacking play in Defence. Suddenly he was a good footballer. While he is capable of the odd Clanger, he is still a handy player for us. Just because he has some limitations, like all players, doesn’t mean that he hasn’t improved. Also just because he has not succeeded, say in previous stints in the ruck, doesn’t mean if needed there now, he wouldn’t handle it better. I am not saying he is a ruckman or a winger, just that he might do ok there if needed to fill in,because of the attributes he has and that he has developed somewhat the last couple of years. I think there is a tendency to categorise players and sometimes incorrectly. We all do it.

More like chai tea.

Been reading my posts again PF? I also said in a pinch he could help out in the ruck as once the contest is over he becomes another mid.

Ah, The difficulties of typing while riding a jet ski.

Waiting for all the houses to come down.

Looks like we are not taking any.

A pop gun.

You mean England.

Cry ? ?

BBO, I bet you were hoping for Magic Circle to win, so the G String would be worn by the owner at the presentation.

Whatcha talkin about Willis?

Winner of cup, number 23 in red and blue colours. Omen for our part of the draft on November 23. Our first pick, yes 23. Further omen, 3rd horse in cup also in red and blue colours. Our 3rd puck looking good as well.

Aren’t they exempt as a Sports Organisation?

Can’t believe I have scheduled Foxtel to install a satellite on draft day, at the very time that the draft is on. Looks like it is DL on the computer, for me at draft time.

May and Petty both played forward in junior footy.

Excellent tribute Jack. So sad that it required writing. Agree with Saty’s comments on Colin too, he was an extremely friendly bloke, who was always happy to have a chat and a laugh.

What accounts?

If Preuss and Max are in the seniors, who is rucking at Casey, a skinny 18 year old Bradtke, who has hardly played footy the last few years, I think not. How would our mids and setups go, with no chance of practice to a winning ruckman. IMO, we will rookie an experienced ruck like Campbell, who can also play forward if required, when Preuss is playing for Casey.

I am pretty confident we will rookie an experienced ruck to play at Casey and share time with Bradtke and also be the emergency for Max and Preuss.

Full forward at Casey. We have no one else to play there anyway.Tom Campbell has played there for the Dogs.

The other one.

Read what I said. I said we need another EXPERIENCED ruck, as we have a project ruck in Bradtke and without Hogan, they shouldn’t risk injuries to Tom and Sam in the ruck, ad we are short of key forwards. Someone like Tom Campbell as a rookie for a couple of years, is needed until Bradtke can develop. We have lost Pedo and if Max and Preuss go down we are in trouble.

We have a project ruck in Bradtke. We need another experienced ruck in case Max and Preuss go down.
