Didn't look good at first live. When replayed several times on television he can be seen turning in mid air and only light contact with his shin to the back. If Buchanan's hit to the face front on was 1 week this can't be the same as contact is to the back and minor. If he is outed it could mean all the Sandy finals which is ridiculous.

To be fair, if we were playing for picks 1 and 3 we would do exactly the same.

We should have played Neville, Weetra, Garland and Buckley to in the words of Ratten try our young boys out. Four more senior players like Ward and Jamar could have gone back down to help Sandy and that way every player available is getting game somewhere. I find the selection pathetic considering the situation.

Ha Ha ! Jack will be in the passenger seat. Bring a spare chair for me. Scoop Jnr. may tag along as well.

Brad Scott is at Collingwood and apparently highly regarded. Chris has just retired and was very impressive on the radio with KB yesterday. Might be worth having a talk to him.

I think it is on one of the official club threads that he is staying next year as an assistant.

Congrats. She is very cute.

You are joking I hope. Biff was a great Demon who played full forward and full back and several other positions and always gave 100% for the club and his team mates. He was tough as nails and had many scalps. Many opposition players were plain scared of him. If Biff was playing when Long did the dog act on Simmonds in the 2000 GF Long would have ended up unconscious. He was one of my favourites in an ordinary side. Please don't knock Biff he deserves better.

Heard of Equine Flu ?

I am off to see Sandy on Saturday and get away from the thoughts of Coaches and Tankers. Who might I see at the game?

Not so sure about the first part but on the second you are absolutely correct.

Could only see Tigers getting up if Crows roll Pies and Saints lose interest. Tigers could not beat Saints if they are playing for finals. If above happens I will feel sick knowing that tankers will get 1 and 2 in the draft and 1 in PSD. If that happens look for an old man throwing up in the AFL members on ground level near the old coaches box.

Pubs in Carlton are open tomorrow. Its not too late.

Or maybe just a Coach who wants to start a new culture of committment.

Great read Clyde.

Would hardly say Roos was an unknown. I know what you mean he wasn't a senior coach, but he was a champion player of 350 games at two clubs under many great coaches. Obviously I don't know who our next Coach will be, but there is one thing I am confident about, if it is not Sheedy our record membership will drop and our perilous financial position will not improve at least in the short term. Sheedy would attract members and sponsors. The club would gain enormous PR. I know that is not the reason to appoint a Coach but he is the only (multiple) premiership coach in the group and if he failed say after two years he could be replaced and we could be in a strong financial position. If one of the others failed it could be a disaster on and off the field.

Can we keep the priority pick if they sing well?

Just like Mark Austin for the Blues. Ratten has said he wants to try out everyone on his list to know where they are at. We should do the same: in Weetra, Neville and Garland.

I thought Ferg has been pretty good lately and if Dutchy goes he may need to put on some weight and be the big backman.

Lappin said in his media conference that if it was a final or an important game that he would have played. Ratten then said half grinning, that Whitnall and Scotland would probably miss with injuries, while they were shown at training running freely.

Maybe Ward and Holland for starters.

Agree, except with the use of the word " nobody". There are some players above 26 you would sign for 3 years and take the risk. If Neita was 27 would you worry about giving him a 3 year deal? PS. WJ I wonder if your mate has got anything to do with this?

Not according to some on this site.

I was also at Brown's first and I think Bizz's, I will check that one and will be there for there last. Well done boys you have had fine footy careers. PS. Think there will be a few more retirements to come.

Love those relatively good sources.
