The amount of opinion stated as fact in this thread is ridiculous, even for Demonland standards. This story has been swirling around since he joined the club and he hasn't gone anywhere. And as yet, there has never been a credible source given for the remours. Given he spent the Christmas break in NZ, not in WA or SA, he doesn't seem desperately homesick to me.

I hope he bought his mouthguard.

I'm not sure if Adelaide being 8 points up at 3Q time against a putrid Saints side is that good a form line. And I want Essendon to make the finals so they can lose another final. So I'm hoping for an Essendon win.

The first post is the very definition of fickle.

There were several posters who wanted him dropped in the lead up to the Geelong game. Some like yourself have owned it, others haven't.

I love those multi calls, but seriously, the first call went with "fortuidous touch" to describe Petty's desperate spoil. Huge facepalm fella.

I wonder if any posters will learn from this and not be so trigger happy to write players off.... ... ... Bhahahahahahaha

He pretty much missed the entire preseason, so he has some catching up to do. Definetely worth persevering.

It was nice lead up play but he had an open player on at the 50 which might have been the go rather than the BBB 50:50.

Reserves as the curtain raiser to the seniors worked for a very long time, and is fondly remembered. It still works for nearly every non-AFL competetion in the nation.

Him (or maybe even better a player like him but not actually him) would have been far more useful than the Grundy experiment, but hindisght is 20:20. Not worth the risk at his age now though.

This is why we need an eye-roll reaction.

Much better Rivers. Nice start to the quarter.

Solid half of footy. We have been quite fumble at times, so a bit to tidy up. Great to see McVee in great form. Biggest frustration that half for me was Rivers kicking. Missed a short one that gave up a goal which happens. The real frustration is when he kicks long and it goes super high and takes for ever to get there. Kick it long, fast and flat and it becomes a weapon.

Any word on whether we will challenge the Rivers charge? Rozee clearly threw himself backwards (even Kane Cornes called it out) and there is no way Rivers should cop a fine for it.
