monoccular

Like everything, depends on cost and fitting the culture. I very much doubt ifBuddy would be happy playing second fiddle, a specially at Casey, for peanuts.

About half my age - so could I demand $300k?

Surely it depends on "health fitness" vs "match fitness" - the only way to gain the latter is in a match. I like this, but would bring in Hunt in lieu of Rivers, at this stage.

Don’t know that he would really enjoy Hobart. 🙄 “Gives away frees & carries on like a sook when they don't pass the ball to him.” He would really love being a Melbourne forward right now. 😱

Mmmmm? Not footy related anyway as Melbourne and Geelong failed to make finals in 1947. Most likely soft tissue ie skin and muscle healing I would think. The bone itself won't be healed for more than a month.

Should be HTB every time - Selwood, and Minivan would whinge like hell.

.... and some poor guy will be riddled with guilt, and vilification. And of course the AFL HQ will wring their hands and say "how unfortunate, nothing we could do"!

IF and when, poor guy. So many opportunities this year - defence, attack - but never available. Feel so sad for the guy.

Top 8 starting to look pretty settled - not the order but the teams. Saints not quite there, and Dogs look cooked. GC$ just maybe an outside chance to squeeze in especially if they perform like today.

Thanks George. But it is frustrating to watch. Though last September I don’t think many complained.

and very precious. And Gillon wonders why they are not respected.

Umpire #19 has just handed the Dockers the game - ignored a very obvious HTB, then gave a slightly less obvious one to Freo - Saints unsurprisingly exasperated -> 50 meter penalty and goal after the siren. Hard to see the Saints getting back now - they had the momentum and perhaps a chance for a goal themselves before the siren.

Now Saints in an absolute panic - rather like we were in Q3 v Freo.

How in a month of Sundays was that free to Fremantle and not to Jones who was grabbed around the neck? Directly gave a goal to Freo Frees were I think 9 - 4 in Saints favour now 11 - 10 for Freo. Certainly have impacted the game.

Magpies get out of jail yet again - how appropriate, given their jumper, and the fact that their fans get day parole to see the game.

Go Saints - but please kick straight. Currently live ladder has Richmond in their appropriate position 9th.

.... and also pivotal to hand balling (unless you play for Footscray or Geelong when you just throw it) Which hand was injured?

Let’s hope they can get them over the line, as they have done to others over the course of the year.

I definitely need a long shower as I feel so dirty, but a Bomber win would give us just a little more buffer in top 2. And if Norf can keep it up would make a satisfying rebound after Thursday.

Disappointing comment

JVR and Laurie just played blinders for Casey (didn't see the first half) - could we risk debuting two players in an important game? JVR actually took contested pack marks in the forward line in the wet - maybe we couldn't cope with that?

Frees now 16 WB, 9 SYD ... and the throwing continues at will

JVR amazing contested mark - yes, a Demon took a contested mark - and a clutch goal from 50 Will JVR and Laurie debut next week?

Great passage Laurie laser pass to Chandler - great mark then pass to Weed - goal and the lead restored
