RIP Richie, a true cricket great and gentleman. Condolences to his family and friends.

As far as I am concerned, give us back pick 12 and say $1m of the $2m that we wasted on him and I would have no problems at all with MC and what happened. It is also laughable, that MC returning to us, was touted by Mark Evans as one of the main reasons he wouldn't give us a PP.

Don't be signed on yourself. Every time you agree with me you are right.

We don't . Vince plays one more at Casey to build up fitness and if ok in for Crows. Dawes for Toumpas, Kent sub.

Agree Nev is no shrinking violet. A few forwards will attest to that.

I think Toumpas will go for Dawes with Kent sub. Vince will be given another week and if ok in for Crows. I am hopeful for jimmy t but he was terrible with his disposal. He just seems such a nervous boy. IMO it could all turn around with a breakout game.

I hope JV plays on number 9 if he gets a game. A couple of those smashes into the ground would go down well.

Need to build on that win. Have to roll GWS in Canberra. Need to win the games we have a chance to win. Best thing is for the players to gain belief.

Just saw Vandenberg singing the song and he stood next to Garland and looked bigger than him. He is going to be a hard match up, as he plays mid but also goes forward, where he can take a grab, kick a goal or assist.

A great start to the year. A new style of play as well. Go Dees.

It would be nice to finally win a first round game after 10 years of losing them.

Admiring it from the AFL members.

Your guess is as good as mine.

All my crew.

I would play him forward.

No.

When you hear someone say " in the fullness of time all will be revealed" or " I can't wait to tell my side of the story", you know that nothing will be revealed and their story won't be told..

Agree on Grimes. I think he has had a good pre season and is very unlucky. Hopefully he fights back. Knowing him, he will. He will still play good footy with us. Agree it is a team for the future, other than maybe Cross and Jamar who is still our best ruck. Clearly Roos is going to put his imprimatur on this team.

You wouldn't have picked Ablett then?

Correct. They tested the substance in Lees' case and knew it was prohibited. Wade admitted to importing it for use. With Essendon, the players attempted to use the substance imported by Charters. What was it? Was it prohibited? Who the hell knows. The best we know is that some Chinese bloke said to Charters I sent you TB4, as you ordered. It could have been rice. That is not proof of what the substance was and if that is what they attempted to take, then the relevant test of proof is not met. I am done. Happy Easter all. Go Dees.

Incorrect. Intent is only relevant if you can prove what was intended to be taken was illegal.

As McDevitt said in this case, it is bloody difficult. That is why they are so strong on positive tests.

I understand, just stick to the right end, or instead of your goal, you might find a behind.

But it doesn't, unless you have absolute proof of the substance to be taken, as they did in the Lees case.
