He can work out on fixing those deficits at Casey while JFK gets rewarded for hard work

Ron - as one of the dwindling numbers who saw the 1958 GF, I never thought that I could possibly utter those words, but I concur.

Diamond Jim - you forget it s the A FL, whose modus operandi is making decisions on the run.

Are you alluding to a certain #16 in the late 1950s early 1960s? Big Bob (as opposed to Tassie Bob #8) Johnson perfected this rôle.

IF Tommy was available then yes, probably not both but surely the serendipity of Tom's injury is that we more or less have to play them both.

Meniscal tear should nowadays ordinarily be a few Meeks to a month but MFCSS means it could be anything. Regardless he should be handled with kid gloves and why should any slight risk be taken in this total disaster of a season? The time off should enable him to fully recover from whatever held him back until the past few weeks. And I agree some goal kicking set shot routines should be part of his later rehab. Should give Preuss an opportunity to work with Max as an alternating forward. Or maybe as some have suggested try Oscar as a forward?

A score review, if deemed a goal, would have guaranteed a MFC win with a minute or less to go. Clearly the instructions were to keep the result open. Surely the footage is available somewhere and should be reviewed to “ensure the integrity of the game”. ???

Remember the last time the Cheaters doctor gave an opinion re MFC players “assaults”? Hogan got 2 if I remember correctly for a “delayed concussion” (whatever that is) on a player who was close to BOG the following week, and Lewis got 2 or 3 for breaking a jaw on someone who missed no games. So, mark my words, Lewis will go.

Tom McDonald - FMD in fact FMSeason Finally after a difficult season he hits good form and !!! Are there still any non believers in the Curse of Norm Smith?

Maybe you should move to Carlton and see if your pessimism is transferrable? especially if Tom's knee turns out as bad as most things we have suffered this season. Fair dinkum - he finally hit his straps then -- ping :-(((

I guess beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Not one dimensional in my opinion - ready to handball, goal assist, bit of reasonable ruck work. I suppose we will have to agree to disagree. Not every young KPF can burst onto the scene like David Schwartz, Wayne Carey or Dermott Brereton. I am happy to see him as a work in progress. I hope he keeps well away from this "supporter" site.

Hi hum. Goudy presser: “made progress as a footy club ... need to compose .... poor connection... etc”

So bloody predictable Going to get run over yet again

OMG Trengove kicked into Hawkins man on the mark - goal. Clanger +++ But a great win over the arrogant Cats.

Geez Gablett is a whinier ... throw the ball, then his team mate kicked it away. Why not 50 as per regulations?

Another goalfest at marvelous Marvel.

They actually wouldn’t give a stuff, provided the sponsors pay them big bucks so that they can get paid big bucks. It is no longer a game for the people: it is a business money game for the likes of Gillon.

Winning is wining even if it is by 13 bloody behinds.

These sorts of things can happen when administrations allow themselves to become so interspersed with and then dependent upon the gambling industry. Then of course they have to appear to come down on gambling (though meekly enough to allow a banned player to become miraculously available for final$.) Their rule changes to ensure lots of goals (code for advertising opportunities for their $ponsors) having been a dismal failure, close finishes are essential. Like Ethan above, the game I used to love has gone - sold down the drain to the highest bidders. ??????

Wasn’t the merger plan that Casey follow Melbourne’s game plan to the letter? ? So, all going to plan.

Do we have a ruckman without Preuss?

But of course the AFL in their infinite wisdom have ensured that he will be allowed back for the finals. I wonder if he had a few bucks on the Hawks last quarter comeback? Could help him pay his fine.

However I suspect that you may encourage her NOT to change her surname?

Collingwood pretenders??
