I noticed and heard Hodge telling Roseberry he had made some mistakes and then later Umpire 22 at the end of the 2nd quarter.

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.

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.

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.

BS.

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.

No, because he would cost us more higher ranked young kids and we have passed on too many in the last couple of drafts.

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.

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.

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.

Wise choice.

I can refer you to a trusted colleague who goes by the moniker of lawyer x. Sorry didn’t see the previous post.

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

Obviously yes.

Well you would be aware WJ that the Statute does not apply until the cause of action has commenced and that was yesterday, when Demon Frog brought it up and made the allegation that led to the apology. And I so advise. PS. This advice is pro bono.

Did I really post that? If I did I am sorry that I “ mentioned “ it.

He just walked past me in an Elsternwick car park. Has lost a fair bit of weight.

You obviously didn't read my post either or you would have read this " Yes he makes mistakes, but I thought he did his job." You disagree with that, fine. Where is the weird blind faith, when I say he makes mistakes. Have I likened Frost to Rance? I am not saying he is great. I am just acknowledging that I thought he did his job last night. If you think Frost should not be ever acknowledged for some good play, that is fine, go ahead and laugh at everyone who thought he was reasonable last night. Personally I lol out at posters who can't see a player do anything right because they dislike them.

"That’s the only place he can play Should never play up the ground again, his form had been atrocious for a long time in the middle. But if he can kick 1-2 goals a game he may keep a spot" The above is your post. First line you say he can only play in one place. Second line you say he never play up the ground again and his form in the middle has been atrocious for a long time. Third line you say he may keep a spot if he can kick 1-2 goals a game. 3 lines and bagged 3 times. Do you not see that? You bagged him, its simple, just admit it, don't deny it. As I said, where is the one complimentary line that says he played a very good game last night ?

I actually saw it differently. Yes he makes mistakes, but I thought he did his job. He was on Buddy and forced him up the ground to get most of his possessions. He has been far better than Oscar this season and you can't drop every key back we have, until the better blokes are ready. ATM I see Frost still in the side, ahead of Oscar, when May and Lever are back.

Did you notice Bruce gushing over the Swans and actually barracking for them?

In 268 games he has 134 goals, exactly 1 goal every 2 games played and mainly as a mid. You would think if he is fit, he would improve that playing small forward for a year or so.

Agree. On Oscar's first 4 weeks Petty will be no worse. I would keep Billy in as he needs a few games strung together, not being dropped after one, when he contributed and added some pace. Pretty sure he didn't turn it over last night.

is he still using IOU's as currency.
