whatwhat say what

he works hard but he's limited. he's always going to be an in-and-out player.

that stuff re the shoulder is hilarious. how did they not realise?

Oliver, Weed, Hullet all look promising for the future for the MFC and Ben Ken and Joel Smith have things we lack in senior side - pace and tackles with intensity. I am not convinced about ANB or the other former senior players as to whether they're 'afl' level.

Agreed, and hit targets by foot too. Oliver is so exciting.

Tim Smith deserves a go on an afl list. I know he's the wrong side of 25, but he's a really good third tall forward. Oliver, Ben Ken, and Terlich all really solid I thought, unfortunately ANB, Grimes and Matt Jones can get it but their skills are not good enough, and Weideman and Hullet look like genuine prospects.

Footscray way too fast with their outside run. The same lack of speed and transitional thinking that affects the Dees afflicts the Scorps too. Dunn is a lovely long kick but he gets caught between pushing up to the contest and dropping back all the time, and the less said about Garland the better. Footscray look way better after one quarter.

And you cannot lie?

Sounds like what they have in the NBA. Becoming more and more obvious that teams need to be able to trade without player permission - as long as the contract is honored, that's all that matters.

Based on evidence thus far you'd have to go the Bont. If Salem can ever perform to his best at afl level I'd go the other way, but at the moment he's been unable to do so in his career thus far.

ABC commentators have already nailed their masts to the wall - backing Bulldogs big time, complete with Gia in the box.

dogs are so good to watch. the bont is unbelievable. i watch him play and pray that petracca can be as good; same with brayshaw as a comparison to macrae.

racks it up and turns it over - just like dangerfield.

i think it's code for "we don't leak".

he looks a good size and has promise, but so too have a host of others that we've recruited who have had outstanding form in second string competition, but haven't been able to go up a level. future third or maybe fourth round pick, which i don't think you can do. we need outside run but cey just doesn't get involved anything like as much.

i fully expect the franchise to make it two sydney sides in the granny.

i wonder if the dogs lose today to GW$ whether or not lin jong may be a withdrawal. unbelievable if he is able to come up.

no, GW$ got many more advantages than gold coast - and boy oh boy they've taken advantage of them.

who are geelong's best 25-and-under talents? they recruited for the 'now' and it's backfired spectacularly. sydney did the same thing with tippett and franklin - difference being they've made it to the big dance 3 of the last 5 seasons.

deledio is on a fortune and the tiges would love to move him out, but no one wants to pay what the tigers want for him. and if the suns offered wright for brayshaw i personally couldn't sign the transfer papers soon enough. riewoldt plus tiges second round pick this year (~22) and i'd be pretty tempted.

hogan's ground-level ball-handling is some of the best i've ever seen for a big bloke.

he wants his kid at the dees? happy days.

Bombers loathe Connors. Big time.

that's a bummer. i wonder why.

You would think so, and I would expect that's why he's been given more time. He is theoretically 'over' the injury - if you are ever truly over something like that which he had - and has not even had a full preseason as yet. Is t make or break time in 2017? Probably. I'm sure all parties are aware of it.

Classified pretty adamant he's off. On the Couch sure he's staying. Hutchy says take Lobb over Hogan. Ha! Ahaha ha. Ha. "Lobb could be the best player in the competition". Ahahahahahaha.
