With 5 weeks to go in the season, it is concerning, that a player is still not signing, after having an Offer from the club since last year and obviously several negotiations since. Hopefully we get some good news soon.

Agree. Pearce charged at the player from a distance and while attempting to correct at the last moment, he knocked the player out and into the air, spinning around. It was a far more violent incident and outcome, but as some have said it is May, not Darcy Moore. Ed Richards raised his forearm and hit a player in the head, knocking him out, but got off because he had the footy. One thing that may help him, is that nearly all of the ex players are saying he actually did nothing wrong. He doesn't brace, turn his shoulder and is running straight at the ball. Contact is made to the top of May's shoulder, not his bicep. Evans is also not in front of him, but coming from the side and Evans also owed May a duty of care too and could have protected himself by deviating, or putting an arm up, as Barrett said on the Sunday Footy show. It will be interesting, but as I said in another post, May could need a couple of weeks off anyway, given his concussion history, so we might be talking about one extra game if he gets three, as the AFL seems to be seeking.

Ed Richards knocked out an opponent with a forearm and they called it a football act, so May has a chance. Best thing is he didn’t turn his shoulder to Evans and he was running straight at the ball and then didn’t brace or lift his arm.

No need to get nasty.

There are 5 rounds left and we play Pies in the last, so in your premise May gets 5.

Given his concussion history maybe he should miss 2 games anyway.

Sent straight to the Tribunal.

I can see the Bombers using our traded pick with their own, to target Harley Reid.

Just as an exercise, can somebody calculate the free kicks and goals from frees and 50 m penalties in the last 4 games we played against Carlton.

We will say nothing as usual. 6-7 goals from frees and 50’s. 11 to zip frees in last quarter at one stage. Blatant frees ignored to us and doubtful ones paid one way to them all night. Commentators even were bewildered several times.

I don’t know who is worse us or the umpires.

Congrats Clarry. My favourite player and the best contested ball player I have ever seen. Get back to your best and we will be congratulating you on your 300th for us and maybe a couple more flags.

GWS “reserves” leading goalkicker.

If he comes to us he could be handy, but it needs to be borne in mind that he will be 24 and has been at the Giants for over 3 years and hasn’t yet played a senior game.

I think Dimma has shut this one down.

Hopefully JT and TL have.

He did and correctly. Field umpire came in and called for reviews.

Absolutely. Have been saying it for a couple of weeks now. Should have the game off and go home for a freshen up for a few days.

Cam took a few years to get going by the way. In Rayner's second year, he played 24 games for 224 disposals, at 9.3 disposals a game. In Kolt's first year 2024, he played 10 games for 117 disposals at 11.7 disposals a game. Rayner was the number 1 pick in his year and Kolt number 13 in his year. You would expect therefore Cam to be a far superior player than Kolt at about the same stage of their careers. Kolt has come off an injury, with an interrupted pre season and has had a difficult year. Lets cut him some slack as we did for Jeffo and others and I am confident he will come good and we will have another good player in our side, plus he has some sh-t in him and I personally love that.

Kolt and Caleb are suffering 2nd year blues, after injuries. The will be better next year, hopefully injury free and after good pre seasons. They don’t have to be stars at 20.

Losing creates discontent, enough said.

Glad I am self employed.

Of all the Werribee players taken by clubs in the last year or so, Henderson appears the most limited.

Not sure how singing the Dees’ song comes from a losing Eagles game where a former Dees’player is 3rd best for them, but glad you enjoyed the moment. You can probably sing it again now, as Casey won last night and a Dees’ player was our best.
