Someone please correct me if I'm wrong but I believe Windsor is the only player in the top 20 draft picks to have played every game this year. Definitely time for the young fella to get a rest. I thought his game against the Saints showed that. Langdon and Hunter can take care of the wings. Maybe take Caleb to Alice for the experience but Definitely don't play at Casey. Bring him back ready and raring to go for the King's Birthday clash then, along with the rest of the team, he greats another break before the North game.

see my post below.  the ball was barely on his wing

I heard someone in the crowd at the game also saying Windsor needs a rest.   Do you mean a Bex, a cuppa tea and a good lie down?   If what is meant is playing at Casey that is a nonsense.  A week off doing tapestry?  Will not happen.

If Petty is out injured - IMO BBB is cooked, Jeffo is too raw though just starting to hit his straps at the lower level, Turner still injured (again), Shack just non competitive, FullArton who knows what, where, why - no good answer for another tall forward option.   How did Verrell go today?

The ball barely got near Leb.  The bulk of the game was played on Hunter's wing.  It was interesting to see how disciplined he was keeping his shape on his wing

No Blake Howes? Apologies if I missed the reason.

I don't mean to whine but what happened to dog diversity ? There are hundreds of breeds of dogs yet these days people only seem to have 3 or 4 types !!

Our very own "Thornbury Terrier"  The best girl and a ball getter too!

I learnt a valuable lesson at the Gather Round.  I saw three games including ours on the Thursday night.  By the end of the second game I was getting a bit bored.  Footy is ace but the Dees are acer!!!  Totally with you about the overlap, as long as I can see my team, who cares about the rest (unless it is the Bluebaggers getting spanked by 60 points!) mmmm, that's nice!!

What are they saying over at Princes Park?

Just watched Fox Footy interview with Darcy Moore. Very good speaker, high footy IQ and good tv appeal. If he doesn't coach after his career, he'll make a killing in the media

I reckon he was a high 90s atar student too making for a high I.q. and a high footy I.q. to boot!

What a great report, from the writing to the content.  Thanks as ever Kev

A kid asked Oliver if he was playing this week. He was taken aback by it. As if he had no idea why he’d be asked the question. So, I assume we can lock him in.

Excellent!!

If it is like last time, the team will be staying at the Playford

A few I would like to see

Jed Adams - Don (get smart actor)

Caleb Windsor - 5 Star as in 5 star Windsor Hotel

Charlie Spargo - I actually thought his nickname was Paul (source Gus and Gawny podcat)

Marty Hore - Lazarus

Only 19!

Interesting to see what happens to the forward structure once McAdam and Petty are both ready for selection.

Forgot to say it was good to see Max moving around for the ball ups and jumping instead of being crashed into made a difference. 

They awarded him a blocking free early doors which seemed to send a message to the opposition

What a name... 

Feel like this function is right up my ally.

Organised by Don McLardy.  A really nice vibe with a fully stocked bar and plenty of food.  Some old faces were there including Balls Grinter and Jimmy Magner.  DM me if you want the information

Attended a Mental Demons fuction last night.  Richo said that he will most likely go to Heeney

Nothing, we were the ones that signed him on a long term deal knowing he could be done at any moment.

Medical retirement should mean Gus is taken care of by the league and not salary cap.

The only other thing we should’ve got / should get is access to a replacement player by the SSP.

It’s crazy to have the deadline last week and Gus announced now. Provision should be made for medical retirements before the first bounce of the season proper.

I presume it opens us up for mid season selections - most likely for #10 and #29

You, my friend need to listen to the podcast. His partner has clearly been the making of him.

Yessss. One has to wonder though, with the likes of Parke and Hardeman up forward why we had such a long drought. 

Agree though Oliver and Pickett are hard to beat. 

Kolt and Knot could be a bit too confusing …. and for many especially in the last decade or so when wearing a tie has become less common some may wonder what is the significance of Windsor and knot.

Would recommend reading Between the Flags, Mono. It makes for insiteful reading regarding our woes over that period. 

Moves like Jayden Hunt (one of my favourites) but hopefully delivers into the forward 50 a bit better than JH.

With all the delistings and re-signings, I've decided to do my best 21. I'll do a best 21 after the draft too.

B: Heath, Gillard

HB: Goldrick, Colvin, Lampard

C: McNamara, Purcell, B. Mackin

HF: Hore, Harris, A. Mackin

F: Bannan, Zanker

FOLL: Pearce, Paxman, Hanks

IC: Mithen, Campbell, Chaplin, Fitzsimon, Rigoni

Disappointing lack of capitals W

Trac being a leader, good to see

the last pick in the draft!
