So flat today after yesterday's game.

It might be pick 2 or even 1.

Didn't play in front once the whole game.

I think we all support him and hope to hell he becomes a good player for us, but..................

Not if the bad weather is as predicted. 6 goals in that case would be remarkable.

I understand the "get over it " philosophy, as it is done, but that doesn't stop you thinking about what could have been. It is compounded by the fact that most armchair experts on here wanted Ollie and the fact that he was a Victorian and good mates with Viney. Toumpas was considered top 4 by most recruiters and above Ollie. Our problem was that GWS didn't take him at 3, instead I think taking O'Rourke, who most would agree has been underwhelming, more so than Toumpas. It is pretty likely that if GWS had in fact taken Toumpas, we would have taken Ollie. The fact that they didn't probably spooked us and we had to decide whether to take the higher rated player over the lower rated one and we took the easy way out. A gutsy call would have given us a fantastic player. As I believe it was Todd Viney's call, he may have been worried about taking Jack's mate above a higher rated player. No need to mention it to him today, as he probably feels sicker than we all do, as it was his decision.

What is our form in hail?

That is very distressing news.

Well the difference is that the Eagles would have beaten us anyway, but the Tigers were handed the game by the umpires. We got a very bad run again, but GWS were robbed of the win.

Just watched the Tigers beat the Giants and the 3 best on the ground for the Tigers were all in green. Most disgraceful display from umpires you could see. Not that I care, but they handed the game to the Tigers,

Another injury. Russell Roberston injured in the Legends game.

Bloody foxtel. I recorded the whole listed game and was [censored] as hell when the recording stopped 3.5 minutes from the end. These are digital times and recorded by remote and they should get it bloody right. I miss the end and the celebration of one of our best wins of recent times.

Well that is great, back in OZ and the Dees aren't playing. Oh well I guess I can watch the Geelong replay.

Probably will.

Well they starved me of bananas for one thing. They allowed our game against the Cats to be in the middle of the night for another. They didn't cover the game in the press for another. No replays either. Need to get back to civilisation.

Back in Melbourne Thursday and no Dees to watch this weekend and only on telly the next. Looking forward to going to another game to see our batch of youngsters,

Well, well, well. My optimism for our future might be well founded after all.

Oops!!!!!!!!!

Possibly.

IMO Fitzy will stay and I am unsure on Hunt as he really hasn't had an injury free go at it yet. Pretty sure he will be given another year.I think they may look at Michie and Riley if they are looking to move another player on.

If you looked at this week's side you would think we were tanking, until you looked at our injury list.

That helps a bit.

Yep.

We now have 3 players out for the season and about another 10 out for various numbers of weeks. Nothing changes.

His father became a great player for us, but it was after he was 21 he started showing ability. His son may be in the same mould.
