It seems pretty clear that he is still struggling with back issues. His turning circle and flexibility looked poor. I think the 2 week rest will be a godsend for Tom and the Dees

I don't think thats correct. Has been injured a lot through those 2 yrs.

The Swans were underwhelmed by All Australian Alir Alir...just sayin....

Maynard doesn't excite me. Has quite a few brain fades. I do like his attack on the ball though, He is manic. He's not what we need. We need to add outside run and delivery skills. Someone like Bowie only taller! Laurie could be that person but is only 181cm. Maybe a Lukosias type. You can't have enough class and where we sit we don't want to be adding second rate players. We also need a back up ruckman. And eventually a replacement for McDonald. I am also looking forward to the day that players are clamouring to get to the Dees because they want to play in finals..

Particularly after finally finishing in the top 5 at the B&F, lamenting how it took him so long to get there and then promising to work harder. He just didn't want it. Its not a crime just a waste.

I think he lost weight!

Yes, your point is?

I think even he would struggle to break into this side!

Terrific spokesperson for the players. Quality person.

Context is v important here. TOG, where he played etc.

Every 8 games in his 176 game career, Clearly previous fines and suspensions are no deterrent.

Clearly not. Otherwise Tobes would have been banned for life by now. And missing the Grand Final (if they make it) is sanctimoniously seen as equivalent to 322 home and away games. Which will inevitably lead to appeals for the 3 weeks to be reduced to 2 weeks so that Tobes can play the granny if they make it,

Tom Bugg would have been flogged in a public square.

Disgusting the preferential treatment that 'stars' of the game get

A player is not even allowed to approach an umpire and question them. That is only for the Captain. At least thats how it always was...

Greene's counsel "Toby Greene's representative, Ben Ihle QC, agrees that "it's not a good look for the game … it's a terrible look". But he says the question the Tribunal must consider is: "At the point contact was made, what was going through Toby Greene's mind?" He says the Tribunal can't make a decision based on the look, but what was going through Greene's head." Who GAF what was going through Toby's head. He knocked the umpire full stop. Get in the bin you serial offender.

Every single tipster had Rchmond in the 8

Weigtman had turned around and was facing the 'pusher' Pushing in the front is not a free

Most frustrating is the umpires whp call "play on not 15" just after it is kicked and before the team mate has even marked it!

May played on Greene last time.

2 means he misses playing us I'd be happy with that

Last 10 finals Dogs have won the free kick count. Just sayin....

I'm happy with 2 weeks

6 Pages in apparently not ! One thing that has happended this year is that the match committee have selected a team to beat the opposition. They will do the same again.
