Generally, I agree with your sentiments about Jesse’s recovery and also in general about not shooting the messengers. However, it should be known that the messengers in this instance are well know for flinging about questionable scuttlebutt and their message about Jesse doesn’t deserve to be given much credibility if at all.

The big bloke. What’s his name? Maxy!

I’m looking forward to the return to Gosch’s Paddock and the resumption of regular training reports (tomorrow?)

The silver lining is that it ensures that Luke Jackson gets more quality game time in practice matches. Preuss will be the #1 in Max’s absence but I think Jacko will have plenty to gain in the interim.

Assume from the geography of the opening that this all took place at Casey Fields?

Amazing that he was playing such great footy before he turned 21. Had he stayed fit and on track with his life, he had the ability to win a Brownlow. Now at 27 years of age, who knows what could happen if was healthy and focussed?

So what’s next? Nothing yet on the website.

And get Jackie Watts back in to do some post season tricks to liven up the place.

Better if they held this after the national draft so that someone could explain how we buggered up the trade and draft period.

Incidental contact, low impact, look away.

The Box Hill Hawks player who was injured and picked up by an ambulance is Mitchell Lewis. Casey big man Buxton-Wales has been impressive.

Two days later - PB: I was only kiddin’ the other day. How about 9 plus a steak knife.

Quality outside midfield strength has been mentioned as one of major needs and yet I’m not hearing any names mentioned in connection with the MFC. Any views on this?

Tell this to Wests Tigers.

Obviously the kid whose going to run out with the team this afternoon has been brought up exclusively on a diet of bananas.

Yes but the case will go to appeal and if that fails, who knows? Journos have been prepared to go to prison rather than reveal their sources.

Just exactly how many days are there to go until the draft?

Is Haddin the best wicketkeeper in the country ATM?
