Ralphy said last night Dogs will definitely not be after May. Should we therefore lock him in as joining the kennel?

We are talking one more year with us, or traded for something. Whatever!

True, but how many with reduced output and other issues, would be tolerated in a business, for also distracting younger employees, while the boss is speaking in a meeting, discussing the businesses’ current results.

Fair enough Clint. I know he is no Sam Taylor, but let’s start that bunch of ins with Wade Derksen and add Oscar Berry, Kalani White and Toby Sinemma as fresh blood to the list. Hopefully a bigger name or two can be added later and maybe a couple more pacy skilful draftees.

Think it through and you will see where it is originating, in respect to a 34 year old at the start of next season, who can’t bend down and has lost all pace. A great player for us, but time catches up to all players except Pendlebury.

Tim see the post two before yours and even the following one and there could be the answer. Maybe it also encourages Richo to look around at other options. It is not the creation of another role as I see it, but rather a renaming at best and maybe a way to change the person in it and even remove the salary from the soft cap, if it is included in it.

Correct and we could have Turner, Tom Mac, Lever, Adams, Derksen, Petty and maybe even AJ, who could play down back in the key defender positions.

No just like our season, same old same old.

Lions can also add Berry, Neale and Hipwood.

And Giants or Dockers to beat Hawks.

Any news on Liv Purcell?

Absolutely not. Croft put his head into that, as Serong was low going for the ball. Nothing to answer. PS: Does Ginnivan get a week for punching Zorko to the throat before the game started? Clear potential to cause serious injury. Of course he won’t be suspended, he isn’t May or Kozzie.

Go Crows and Dockers.

Can’t stand Ginnivan and Newcombe.

I can live with a Crows flag. I like Matthew Nicks, think he is a really decent bloke.

Over the boundary and no free to Langdon. Have seen this several times in other games by Daicos and never penalised. A protected species.

Agree. Also, I note the lack of instinct when we have the ball, say from a mark, no one is standing the mark and there is 20-30 metres of open space. We just stand there instead of gaining the 20-30 metres for a start and then knowing where to kick to keep possession and gain more ground. It smacks of a group of players that don’t instinctively know what they are doing.

Well I suppose if it was announced on saturday night, or the next day sunday after the PF, that is Preliminary Final weekend and also GF week. The man thing is the Coach will be in place before trade week begins.

It sounds funny to say this, but if a 37 year old, who has played over 400 games, goes off injured earlier in the game, we win. The guy is a freak.

And two out on the full.

11 holding the ball frees to Port to 1 for Suns. I saw 10 blatant frees not paid to the Suns in the last quarter, several close to their goal. The commentators said the umpiring was extremely poor and I think Riccuto said it was as bad as he has ever seen. I thought Dimmas’ head would explode.

I could see one or two of that group leaving. We will make list changes as we do every year, we just have to hope that the changes improve us.

If I said to you we have the two Daicos bothers, would you say we are a finals side? When you lose 7 of 8 games by under 12 points, including finals teams, you are not that far away. A few list changes, development of youngsters like Langford, Lindsay, Kolt, Windsor, Kentfield, Jeffo, White, Sinemma, Adams, AMW, Mentha etc, a fully understood game plan and improved fitness will help us compete for finals again.

And two out on the full.
