Did either of us say that? In no way am I letting the guy off I’m simply commenting on the method of the strike. I am not defending him, nor do I think he’ll get less than 7 weeks.

I must admit my first thought was that it was a body shot gone totally wrong.

Honestly I think it should be at least 7 weeks. It’s disgusting

I can’t even fathom the idea but I respect your opinion. You’re entitled to have it, not going to attack you for having a different view.

It’s an excellent point. The ultimate test of club integrity.

From a neutral point of view I say what you’re saying clearly. From our point of view, come on man!! The guy has spent nearly his whole career in rebuilds. He deserves to be part of something different at this stage of his career than to up sticks and be part of another one. I know footy clubs should be looking through the windshield rather than in the rear view mirror but I just don’t think we’re st that point yet with Jones. Not to mention I’m pretty selfish and want him to be a 1 club player.

Hahaha. It does make you think though. Would probably need a pick as well plus I can imagine he’d be asking a bit.

Definitely has all the attributes and yeah could literally be about to have a bolter. Would definitely like to see him more down back, was a bit miffed when he went down because it would have been a great learning year for him, still time though. And I’m all about the romance stories. Question, would you part with Weideman in return for Moore?

This news was heartbreaking. The more tributes that came out the harder it was. You can really tell the measure of a person by the way people talk about them not so much what they say. From all accounts this fella is as good a bloke as you can be lucky to meet. My heart goes out to his family. I hope there is something we can do collectively to give him support.

S-Town was magnificent. Might have to revisit that one. Started getting into the Joe Rogan experience again lately but mostly in the form of YouTube clips. I wish they would do like a 1 hour condensed version of the show just don't have time for the full 3 hours!

Its becoming a web of crap all these rules, every one of them just a stupid reminder of some fad back in whatever year and the corresponding media hype that surrounded it.

As much as I'd love Collingwood to miss top 4 it might be a necessary price to pay for us to make it :s

They are desperate for a quality mid so they'll probably take what they can get even its the best of a bad bunch.

I don't know what it is but I'm just not that crazy on Darcy Moore. Maybe I'm wrong and he could be about to take off but I just don't see it yet.

I like it, but one of my dearest wishes also is for Collingwood to miss top 4.

Come on all you fight fans come back! Dillashaw and Garbrandt soon who are your tips?

Massive signings. NFC West is gonna be electric!

Just like any other week, get the job done and go again Dees.

The thing that gets me about this is the timing. Never a more irrelevant time for him to speak about anything relating to us.

If we could just make the most of the rules that we have I’ve got full faith the game can become better again. The game goes through peaks and troughs and there has always been bad games in every era, even the 80s and 90s which is the era people love pointing to as the flawless product era.

I have never understood he AFL’s motive for a rule change that they have brought in. The slide, 3rd man up, protected zone, 30 second shot clock. At best all I can remember is some murmuring about these things and they just decided to pull the trigger. We have so many stupid rules now that we can’t even officiate the ones we had in the first place properly. There’s a rule that’s been around for 120+ years. It’s called HOLDING THE BALL and if it occasionally got paid we might have a more free flowing game. 6-6-6 isn’t going to do anything. I love it how the AFL and some journos call for change saying the specticle isn’t great but we the fans seem to be screaming to leave the game alone. I understand ratings may be down and there’s a lot of ugly games but I’m just sick and tired of hearing of all this rubbish we need to do. Have zones, cap interchanges more and tire the players out, clear the centre square, shorten games, shorten seasons. No-one has any friggen idea what they are talking about. Im willing to bet that should we make these changes in 3 years time we’ll be looking to make changes to the rules again.

Yeah Earl Hood exercise is definitely key. Its something I've always tried to keep part of my routine for self esteem and obviously health purposes. Running and weights were definitely my things. I have found in the last 12 months or so I've really struggled with my running due to some persistent shin splint issues and the fact that all of a sudden it felt like running became 3 times harder for some reason. So I find myself at the moment going to the gym each night doing either the bike or the eliptical trainer. Also one a week I'll do weights. This is all beneficial of course but I think its a bit stale. I think I really need to lash out and try boxing or something different. Its just tough because when you're like this you also get so set in your ways!

It’s definitely not healthy that’s for sure. It just seems like things are a little out of balance. Went out for dinner with some friends during the Freo game a few weeks ago and I really resented it because I was missing the game. Been seeing a psych lately, seeing them this weekend. Hopefully it helps.

I don’t doubt it Earl Hood. MFC has always had a large part of my attention, but in the last 2 years it’s like it’s gone up about 5% more. Will put off certain social events because watching us play is just not negotiable. It’s completely my fault. I’ve tried so many times to pull away just a little bit but nothing can seem to replace that void left. Nothing excites me as much as knowing we have a game on this weekend and there’s a chance we might win and have that winning feeling. Just would be great to have some kind of other outlet for the moment! Thanks for your words.

I'm personally happy with Oscar. He's had some great games where he's done all you could ask. Yeah he's he bit limited but I'd be in the camp of finding the right guy to play alongside him. I do feel there are many here and at games who feel he simply can't play, which is sad. Having said that I think its a worthwhile question SFebey asks and it gets you thinking. I'm sure there's many ideas on what we can do to improve our backline and at this stage I'm willing to listen to them.
