It's not a big mistake, only $1.6 million over 4 years.

Scuse me! Kreuzer, O'Hailpin, Waite, Houlihan at around 188 and Carazzo a bit shorter, is not a small forward line.

Its started early. If he is a nightmare to coach and get along with, why would you even consider it? He is not even a big Key Forward, he is Sylvia's size.

Win the next two and we might.

I'm staggered they even let you into the ground to watch them play.

Garry Lyon on same show said Geelong took no notice of him and that may have flattered his performance. Well they put Bartel on him in the last quarter and he played on Selwood early, so given that and his stats I think he can be bloody proud of his first up performance. IMO he is this week's rising star. I also think the OX would be very happy with the boy wearing his number.

Accurate summation.

Scarlett was a father son and out of our reach as he had committed to Cats. Goodes was a 17 year old and we had already taken one at pick one and were not eligible to take another.

Funny.

Spencer off on a stretcher for Casey. Hope it is not serious.

Not as shocked as me. I nearly fainted when I heard from our Footy Manager moments before the draft that we wouldn't take Talia or a tall forward as pick 11. Must say I am pretty happy with JG with what I have seen so far at Casey and yesterday for the Dees.

And that has to change. We must now after playing there for the last 100 years say enough is enough. In the last 20 -30 years we have been drawn to play there every year for a near certain loss. The reason from the AFL is that the bigger drawing sides don't play there. With us improving there is no doubt that we would draw at least 50000 at the G against them. Why should 20000 fans be denied access to the game. They should only play the interstate teams there and maybe North as well who we all know can't draw crowds. They have 8 games a year there and in two years there will be 8 interstate teams plus North, that is nine games to choose from. The MFC should take this up with the AFL as a priority. The Cats can fill the stadium with their members against any of these teams so that should suit everyone. It is grossly unfair that we have to play there and deny 20000 fans when other teams never play there.

Because he is in our best 22 and he has been great this year.

I didn't. Thought he was very poor. With Scully, Trengove and Mckenzie to come back in, someone has to make way.

So you think Bailey told him to play from behind on every single occasion.

He has been selected for Casey and I am stunned. I could understand if he was also rested but dropped!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Every year for the last 15 or so I have picked one player as "my boy", the player that I watch most carefully and follow and this year I took Jordie. I have spoken to him a couple of times and he is a great kid and loves the club and his footy. He has a habit of saying " yeah" all the time and I feel like that should be his nickname. I think he will have a great career with us.

If that was the case you would use Watts as the second ruck and we know why they won't do that, we don't want him crippled. If Jamar is ok he needs about one third of each quarter resting and that means about 8-10 minutes for someone else to help out. Miller would be the one with Sylvia or Bate filling his forward spot. Usually it is done in sections and therefore 4-5 minutes at a time. It is not too difficult to organize. I just don't want a 185cm player in the ruck who is needed elsewhere.

Correct.

Played well too.

Sylvia at 185cms in the ruck is a joke. With Bate back, Miller or Dunn (if he is in) can have a few minutes there, as they are far bigger than Sylvia. Sylvia can then slot into their forward position while they are rucking. IMO it is ridiculous to ruck Sylvia and probably get him hurt as well. If Spencer, Gawn or Fitzpatrick kick on we won't have this discussion.

I understand that Beamer feels upset and wants to contest the charge, but a week's rest after a hard game last week and the chance to play your 100th in front of 50000 at the G against the scum, instead of at Skilled with few demon fans present, is not a bad alternative.

Disagree on Warnock. He was injured. He is in our best 22.

Doubt it after playing in 80% humidity.

He is only on the Rookie List.
