This. It's been a pattern since his return. Other teams are smacking into him off the ball and in the ruck. We need to protect him

I think Pedo week to week gives us more that Watts-on-a-bad-day gives us. He's just not a contested ball player. Not everyone can be Viney, but against Norf, we could have used Pedo, I reckon. I don't know if Watts comes out, but Pedo comes in

That's what the FD feel, I'm sure, and they've been spot on this year - I just like his marking and attack on the ball. He gives us goals in different ways from Watts.

Do you think Pederson would have given more than Watts yesterday?

I think Pederson would have given more than Watts yesterday. Difficult to drop him (Watts) after only one game, and he's obviously improved enormously this last year or so... Don't think they'll do that swap, but I wouldn't mind it.

Not sure the going inside 50 system is working so well. It will be great to see really clean forward play. so much upside to this team go Dees!!

Having max in form is a good thing

God I hope viney isn't playing too early.

We've got a decent team, plenty to play for, and no one is here...

Not a big crowd, it's fair to say

He's a hard ar$e. When that nuff-nuff started telling him about "discipline", Goodwin tore strips off him. Nice to see.

Stretch. No

Clearances. 23 12. We're just not getting enough of the ball

I don't like what Bugg did. He'll deserve to go for weeks. But I can't help thinking of early Hawthorn under Clarkson - "unsociable football" - don't mind that tag too much. But last night we got belted - we're not tough enough yet. When Max went down, no-one came back at them.

Yes - agree. I was worried when I heard that - but I think it's going to die out. Thanks heavens.

I'm actually relieved to hear that it's not a bone / ligament issue - the game has lost too many from those (Trengove, Egan, Hird (came back), Clark(?e)...) So he'll be back. Walk away from tonight - I suspect the coaches aren't too surprised, and good on them for not playing those that "might" have got up - and getting the right.

And these posts make me really appreciate being here with Frankie junior. He's in his late 20s, and it's a great time for us Look after yourselves.

How long can sealing wax and string hold together? Eventually our depth just won't be able to get us over the line. Having said that GO YOU GOOD THING

Pedo? - we really don't want to lose him!

or there is another version you tube from the FamilyGuy - If the admin watched this version, I would be banned forever!

Media will be on this for a few more days. Then it will stop. I reckon we're lucky it's at the G on Friday. But I also reckon he'll get booed every time he gets a possession. Club will have to be very strong.

Yep. Hopeless. This is where it's good to have the sainted PJ at the helm. He will make sure we will respond in the best way for us.

This is awful. Hopeless AFL counsel. MRP will get rolled.

Following the tribunal online, I reckon our boy is in strife. Hope I'm wrong. Might be just MFCSS...

If I wasn't so lazy, I would have looked this up before asking. Apologies. The Tribunal will sit at 5.30pm AEST on Tuesday night and AFL.com.au will run a live blog. I will be following that live blog with great interest. This could get very nasty for the kid - just remember Goodes. Not the same issue, but once the mob gets something in its tiny mind, it's hard to eliminate.
