he also said he expected to be back in action before qb game...... the prev game to qb is 10 days before

actually he said before qb game Viney has been sidelined for the past fortnight with another foot injury and is yet to pinpoint a return date, but believes his recovery is "tracking really well". Speaking at the launch of Big Freeze 7 in support of Neale Daniher's FightMND foundation, Viney said he will be back in action before the annual Queen's Birthday clash with Collingwood.

i know weather forecasts can be dicey especially 7 days out...... but they are currently predicting similar weather next sunday as we had against the swans could be a factor in how we should structure up

iirc it was just a continuous fixed sequence running from year to year all games at same time on saturday

think it was originally tied up with fitting in with cricket, sharing same grounds, centre wicket prep etc......only left room for 18 rounds plus 4 weeks of finals.

wind shifting to sw so rain belt should move north of the g......so here's hoping

think he meant to say gestational parent

don't forget we get trac this year and next year on the cheap (existing contract) he could have restructured to start new contract next year so if you factor in this and next year the cost per year for 9 years looks a lot better.......then add inflation in too

i doubt degoey will ever reach his potential on or off the field

we don't have the full details yet.....have to wait for club to better update us and answer all the wotifs

i'm still trying to work out the first use

i didn't say sparrow is a better inside mid than brayshaw i said brayshaw has played wing all season except last week (special case) and has been a success there, so we should stick to a structure that we know has worked. we also have more mid options than wingers.

you use the mfc app on your mobile mfc will download a ticket to app which i presume will display a barcode for entry what could go wrong ?

brayshaw was moved out of wing last game only because none of the 3 emergencies were logical replacements for viney and one of the emergencies was a winger (baker) and so brayshaw became a mid. brayshaw has settled in well to the wing all this year and is a better winger than baker, so he goes back to wing. this week we have the whole list to chose from for a viney replacement. sparrow was bog in 2nds so is logical replacement. harmes would also be a choice but has only had 1 game back from injury

he was only picked because the more obvious choices played vfl, so brayshaw took viney role and baker to wing with brayshaw back to the wing, baker is not a viney replacement

talk of holding it in canberra

if you are saying harmes as the medi-sub (for jones) then not a good idea. harmes needs more game time

anb's got money in the bank

will crack 50k this year (if covid doesn't get worse)

reckon the baker change will out of sparrow or harmes (really the viney change) probably sparrow after his vfl bog. think harmesy might need another game under his belt will be close but

no problems......how are you off for socks and undies?

an interesting observation of the tribunal defence was that the mfc did not challenge the original medium-impact classification. i can only assume the defence decided it was best to just focus on one issue rather than get tied up on 2 issues. Also if it was reclassified as accidental rather than careless then impact doesn't come into it. what is interesting re impact is that it appears the forearm/elbow high contact appears to have caused no injury and likely not any discomfort. According to the NM medical report there was no head injuries or concussion. It appears his onfield distress and having to leave the field assisted, was caused by contact to his kidney area in the collision and not caused by forearm/elbow. He apparently passed some blood in his urine and was set later for precautionary kidney scans and doctor said was expected to be able to play next week. If all this is true then impact of forearm/elbow had to be in the low band and not medium. from the hun report today: " The Dees accepted that Fritsch’s elbow to North Melbourne’s Tom Powell was high contact and medium impact." "There was microscopic blood detected in Powell’s urine sample after the match and he underwent a kidney scan on Monday, according to Kangaroos doctor Bianca Scotney’s medical report." "But Powell was cleared of concussion and suffered no ongoing headaches or jaw pain, with the kidney problem highlighting that more damage was done from Fritsch’s contact to the teenager’s midriff, rather than the elbow to his head." "Dr Scotney said kidney trauma was “unlikely” and Powell was a strong chance to play against Collingwood in Round 8."
