AFL and VFL are also not like for like competitions.

Alex Silvagni starred for Blues in his first game for them. Don't think Dockers are slashing their wrists yet.

Saints could also end up with a top 3 pick, (Hawks traded pick) plus their own first round pick and then maybe a West Australian Saint who wants to return home, making a big package to offer Dockers.

It's a good distraction from the usual highbrow conversation.

Looks like Jesse is back for the Hawks game.

My favourite group of all time, heresy.

Well lets hear it for the "refusal to be pressured act", which a few of us on here are adept at.

What game is that?

I think the air con was on in the stadium and it created a slight breeze.

I think you are being too critical. PS. That was not meant as a criticism.

Well a good win after a messy first half. Time to treat myself to a banana smoothie.

Maybe, but as Judd says, he doesn't have to destroy his feet in the process.

Not quite close to the end, but a contract of many years at $1.5m a year is an acl away from being a disaster.

Bugg 35 possies and 5 goals for Casey and didn't see him on Sunday. VFL is not the AFL.

Didn't know that. When was BP appointed?

Interesting that Pies and Bombers fans boo their ex players, but cheer ex players of other clubs, who are now playing for them. Hypocrites of the highest order.

Or even misconstrued.

That's a bit rough Wise. Just different interpretations of what and how it was said, by you and Saty.

Might be hard to tinker, given that he didn't play for Casey and is obviously on standby in case of injury to a named player.

Except that Casey doesn't play like that. So not sure he will improve that aspect if his game at Casey. Don't disagree that his play on game has not has been as good recently. However it may be to do with poor forward structure and the fear of turning the ball over, that is obviously drummed into the players.

Not according to the FD.

That is often caused by poor forward structure and players being scared of going forward and turning the ball over. They then turn it over closer to the opposition goal which is worse. Personally if it is going to be turned over, I think our goal square is a far better option. With Jesse , Watts and say Weid up forward, you see the ball come in much quicker and more direct play.

That could be the case, as for those who love stats, his were far superior to JKH last week, yet he is gone. He also doesn't turn the ball over like JKH did. To me, JKH is one lucky boy this week.

I just laugh at those who say injuries mean nothing. Everyone gets injuries. Well everyone might get injuries, but it is really about who is injured. Richmond had one possible top 22 player injured last week in Vlastuin and Hampson, who probably is behind Nankervis anyway. Everyone else was available. Pies had one player out. Then of course, the other issue about injuries is when you get them. We seem to get them early in games and are robbed of our better players and then the use of rotations. On the flip side, the teams we have played have not lost anyone during games and that has made the contest tip heavily in their favour. We have copped it both ways. Our better players going down and early in games. That just kills you. We have played pretty well this year and if not for those injuries, would possibly have been 5 zip. The fact we are not getting killed in games is testament to our effort and improvement.

But this was a late bump, not an off the ball strike.
