whatwhat say what

there's always next year...

extrezzo unlikely

Gaff’s third quarter unreal He’s as smart as Salem with ball in hand

That’s terrible luck - other knee from last time too

Filth v meth coke very entertaining Nic Nat looks finished for the day

we just ran away with it i just hate razor

i hated the brayshaw-razor high five

interesting that goodwin says the injury is 'different' to last year / this year's foot injury not sure if that's a good thing or a bad thing

6: Gawn 5: Oliver 4: Brayshaw 3: Hogan 2: Salem 1: Harmes Harmes’ blanketing job on Macrae in the second half was as good as I’ve seen the likes of Ben Jacobs do for North

First half awful; second half good Will hold his spot

At the game, his tackling has been good Looks completely overwhelmed otherwise

I just can’t believe our lack of defensive pressure We won’t win at the G with this zone; it leaves too much space open wide on the wings and waiting for transitional ball movement

Lose clearances = lose the game

that we are worried about the pace of the dogs backline imo big blow, and the comments from mahoney make it sound like it could be an extended period of time out: We will have further clarity on a timeframe early next week, although at this stage, we do expect Jack to return during the latter part of the season

oliver on the latest inside melbourne podcast said that he very much modelled his early game on voss three premierships and a brownlow to come! (preferably no horrific broken leg tho)

hm, i'm more circumspect than you about them although in fairness last night they did have 12 players with under 50 games under their belt, and another 3 in the 51-99 mark but how many of them are much chop? the younger curnow and cripps are stars, but ed curnow is about to turn 29 - he's not part of their long term future, and nor is simpson (34), murphy (31), thomas (31), rowe (31), kreuzer (29), wright (28.5), casboult (28), or even really liam jones (27) their list is in a bad, bad way it's glorious

Clayton @ 20 years of age >>>>>>> Dustin @ 20 years of age

yes

i think - and i could be wrong (it's been known to happen) - that if you sign a free agent then you have to honour their contract it's why hawthorn were still paying vickery as part of their salary cap this season ($500k) and why they won't have to with rioli

Always has been!

good deal for sloane, good deal for the crows

i'll go: stephenson kelly cerra fritsch clark richards dow naughton andrew brayshaw higgins the filth, in fairness to derek hine, picked up an absolute gun after the first handful of players - as they have done previously with pendlebury and de goey

unlike gaff, is not a free agent, wherein lies the rub we only have to give up salary cap to secure gaff; getting polec in would cost value in a trade class player...but gaff is better inside AND outside

it's weird to see how quickly he's been made to look very, very poor

it'll be adelaide's pick 8 plus x, y, z for pick 1 so that the crows can lock in lukosius
