Which inturn aided our defensive setup at the same time.

He's off with the fairies daisy. He put his teeth in a jar bedside the bed, and in the morning they were still there, but Gus was gone ? It's hoped he returns to planet earth soon, so we can select him for a team.

These things have a habit of getting better out of the understudies. I like it. Because the hopes of the players are high. Some will take more of the bit between their teeth ? Lets all sit back and enjoy.

Misson: Hi DeeSp. Thanks for the question. The original injury normally takes 4 weeks to get right. in this case it hasn't responded as expected, but there is no crystal ball with injuries, just after the fact hindsight. Tom played practice match to see how he managed with the injury but unfortunately for Tom the injury flared up. We train our players to be fit to go, And sometimes injuries do not respond as expected. Which in this case is what has happened. Tom has done a lot of running to get his fitness levels up, and this injury has not responded as hoped. So now we have to back him right down, to allow time to heal this injury, He will maintain fitness inside on Alter G and swimming & will recommence outside running as expected in 2 weeks time. I hope this answers your question Re Toms injury management.

I don't mind that, if we go small up front. If Petracca was in a Giles mold, then we could fit ANB on the f/flank. Hogan rotating, R/R & CHF with Petracca.

Also troublesome in packs, around wandering boots. But is it the toe, or an ankle? These days with so much mis-information, its really hard to know what the truth is. But the reality is, its really tough to ruck with buggered feet. And to play CHF. Imperative we don't take risks before the season even starts. You can play with a cracked rib. You can play with a crack in the jaw. But try to run and jump in a game, with only one good foot, let alone having to kick on the run.

sorry, no i didn't get it.

Only a toe, kept Frost out for around 6 months. It troubled him for more than 12 months. Conservative with injuries especially early season is crucial. We can take risks if need be later in the season IF we are desperate. I would rather have Tmc cheery ripe, before he comes into the side. I don't want him tormented by this injury, all through the season. Viney came back too soon last year, didn't end well. Gawn came back too soon last year, didn't end well. Watts came back under rehabbed last year, stuffed our season. Didn't end well. Its no surprise that our momentum went into a downward spiral, when these players started to return to the team, all too soon. 2017 didn't end well for the Mfc.

I would definately leave TMc out for this one. One more week to get right. Please Mfc. Don't risk him in Rnd-1. We have plenty who can fulfill the role for one game.

I imagine its only a bit of bone bruising. They're protecting him from further knocks to that area, until game day. IMO, consider him a Lock!

Hey Cassiew. If THEY want to make a retro jumper for fans to buy and wear. Why not something along these lines. Maybe some 'slight' adjustment, to the colours, but only slight. So a lace up Jumper to wear to warm games,,, and also in a Vest form to wear over other clothing and under that plaid jacket. Reversible clothing, dress down on one side, & dress up a little on the other side with pull up collar.

The old jumpers around 60's, were very dark blue, in photos.

collingwood? just reverse their colours. Lets just not do the clash jumper thing.

Take the extra week & play Pedo with Hoges. I hope they do not play him TMc, just for Rnd1 gate attendance/memberships. Its the business end, that we want to be full strength, & bitter.

turf toe? we need TMc right for sharing ruck duties. I would rather sacrifice the first couple of games if need be, to get them tight & come home strong & fit. We have Pedo, we have Frosty. We can cover for Viney for a couple of games, so they are not carrying serious niggles right thru the season. Better have them just right for mid season,,, that entering this season NQR.

If we have to have a clash jumper it should be something alike this one. PS: the 'iSelect' banner is clashing with GWS jumper.

FishC beautiful neck of the woods, gateway to the Prom. And Foster down the hill. Nearly always lush & green, & people always wearing smiles.

Along with tricky nixen & a bunch of school leavers. Partying into the wee hours.

What, do you think we'd get a better player at Pick 16 next year, compared to what we would get at Pick 10 this 2017 draft? I don't think so.

I reckon that the Power will be the next SA premier team. Sometime in the next 15 Years. I just cannot see the Crows calling anything much at all in the next little while, after their pizzy little tanties. They need a dose of instant concrete, to settle that nerve condition they have over there. I have a vision of 'the tail', wagging away all on its own.

Peanuts hey. No wonder they lost the Grand Final, they must be all monkeys. They say, you get what you pay for.

Yes, at the Blues. He can then be the chocolate atop the froth & bubbles, on they're cappuccino's.

Grab a spot in the queue.

I wouldn't trade any of our young guns for anything. keep them all together. They are the nucleus of our new club. Brothers in arms. The older less committed brigade, need be shown the back door. asap.

Oliver would be worth a 1st & 2nd Rnd pick now. Petracca so far with one knee already Op'd on, would be currently worth what we gave up for him. Hogan is worth more than what we gave up for him, as he has already demonstrated his fitness from the back, & has kicked bags of goals, and is still very young. His pedigree is a proven commodity, over a few seasons now. Lever might get to that, but he is a floating tall defender. He is not worth 2 x 1st Rnd picks, at this point with his career.
