Straight swap for Preuss. Take it or leave it. ??

As a matter of interest, do you think that it is the coach alone who makes decisions about moving players on?

As I recall, in 2018 Hogan was missing for much of the business end of the season, when Tom played his most valuable football of his career, and Weed had a few good performances but could hardly have been called “in form” when Tom was at his best. What I feel we need before making any moves, and any sensible suitor would do the same, is to get a full evaluation of his injury and fitness status. His best was very good, inspirational at times, and if the assessment is that whatever ails him is recoverable, them why move him on. If not, then would anyone want him anyway?

Is that hardness as in glass? I wasn’t aware of that sad tale. Could very easily account for a form drop, depending on the timing of events.

So Colonwood would be a perfect destination then.

Surely the AFL wouldn’t make a knee jerk rule change based in one case ?

And if he says “no”, does that settle everyone’s mind? ?

Mazer. I have always been intrigued by the irony of the Bummers, at the low they were in after their unconscionable drug experimentation, appointing a pharmacist as their head coach. Intriguing.

He was only doing a BLM knee in solidarity with George Floyd. Lovely gesture. ?

Maybe wants to come and play understudy to Max Goody will have a word to FIGJAM and advise him ....

Or perhaps more likely he was not confident in his calf recover so not ready to his the accelerator. Happy to have given him the opportunity. As others have said, one can only speculate what could have happened in a normal season.

Well that worked out well, didn’t it. And what did the Chief Pharmacist add to the oranges? Valium?

As entertaining as when they were “so unfairly penalized” for dabbling in an illegal and immoral drug experiment. Daniher has hardly pulled on a boot for two years. If he is worth a top 10 pick then so is Tom McDonald. Diamond Jim Tillbrook springs to my senile mind.

Well I hope he appreciates the support. Ooooooozzze is rumored to be a bit of a “match day expert” which would be a very valuable link in the chain.

Q: Mr Andrews. Was Jenny Mikakos right to resign? A: Sorry, I don't remember who she was.

I just love his calmness, and mature reading not just of the immedaite play but the whole situation of the game. Amazing stuff from a first year player in the last few games in particular.

Can't turn the clock back, but it would be interesting if he [Kent] could have played a full season under our current injury management / fitness regimen. Chronic / recurring injury seemed to hit him whenever he started to look good. Now that would be something very novel at MFC. Worth a try, surely.

Presumably that includes game plan. Sounds like the hotel quarantine enquiry.

Lions seriously at risk of throwing this away with 4 behinds in a row.

One can only very seriously hope that he doesn’t sink to those depths of despair.

Great Scott finals record. Hawkins (0.5) had he kicked straight instead of sulking could have made the difference.

A protected bloody cheat.

OMG can’t believe the Felocentric umpiring. Geelong gets all the soft ones, and Port can’t get a half chance.

Selwood remains a protected species. Umpiring surprisingly hugely favouring the visiting team.

Cause or effect ? Either way really very sad for Harley and his family.
