Companies cannot sue for defamation. And truth is always a defence!

So sadly is Morton.

You clearly haven't watched Clark this year because he has been sensational.

You cannot slice 10-12 from the list, It is just not feasible to do it in 1 year and load up with draft picks.

Conditions and match ups would definitely have been a factor. Beamer & Bate would sweat 12kgs in that heat.

I hope you gave a statement to the polivce. Its the only way these scumbags will get what they deserve. If not its not too late to contact the defence team and offer to assist. On another note it is interesting to see they have denied they were at fault and are going the self defence option, If this is found not to be true (ie there are plenty of witness statements to the contrary) then the sentence they will receive will be much harsher. I expected they would pull out the "I was off my head and didn't know what I was doing" defence. Or I was abused as a child defence. Or my mum wouldn't buy me a BMX defence.

Tom McDonald contributed significantly to his own injury by turning back into the pack. That said, I wish we had a player that other opp'n players feared when going for the ball. Mitch Clark probably has defenders worried because he is somewhat reckless when contesting for the ball. I think its a good coach that tells players to bring an opp'n player to ground when they are contesting a mark. You have to ensure body contact is made so that: A) the player cannot run off and at the very least it will hold up play B) the player may miss/spill the mark C) the player will hear footsteps next time Of course our player needs to keep heir feet as well otherwise it becomes a shambles. I keep thinking back to Justin Blumfield in the 2000 GF taking an easy mark with 2 Melb players bearing down on him. Zero body contact from our blokes and Blumfield ran in to score an easy goal. Sheedy would have told Ess players to bury a Melb player in the same situation. We need more mongrel.

Ironic given we are playing Freo in Freo. Everyone on the list should play because its likely we will only have 22 to choose from the way we are going...

The last 5 years we have had woeful pre-seasons that have carried on to the season proper. Momentum is huge n football and we should be aiming for the mother of all pre-seasons. According to Misson and others we have been woefully unfit and largely unable to play Neelds game plan for more than a few quarters here and there. Last year we had a false dawn with a win over Coll in the pre season but the rest were shockers. We want momentum and we want wins. The planning starts now. This season is stuffed.

The really good players get the ball and sprint 3-5 metres as a minimum before dishing off. Ours by and large don't (other than maybe Blease). We handball consistently to stationary targets 2-4m away (and often stuff that up). Players need the confidence to take the game on and they don't yet have it.
