monoccular

You surely couldn't be suggesting that there would be some sort of ill conceived knee jerk reaction from the knee jerks at HQ? Or give a free against you. Used to even be reportable long ago.

Then we had better bloody well win our remaining games. Simple. No good depending on others. Our fate is in our own hands. IF we can give GW$ a jolly good flogging, like a really huge one, we could even go past them tomorrow

Umpires getting into it again

Scott's head surely must explode very soon

Bloody hell. Hawkins two more punches. Won't get cited though.

Wow!! No Dangerfield, no Cats?!?!

Meaningless as "named positions" are, does JKH have the intensity and skills to eventually follow Nev as a "small defender"? Could this be why he has been named there? (I have no idea - genuine question for those who have any idea).

? do you mean more reliable (at this stage), or more likely to make it (which Brown has already)?

Max is surely not a fringe player ??

I think there is a grassy knoll at the ground so perhaps it is better not to risk him ? FCS DT, lets not try and get too clever......just win the next 8 in a row and hoist the flag!!

??????????????

A bit like (a then injury ridden) Scott Thompson going to Adelaide. Anyone remember did we get anything for him? Like Melbourne as in the capital of Victoria, or Melbourne as in MFC????

Pffff.....Bradman choked with a duck in his last innings when he needed a mere 4 to get a 100.00 average. Some Demonologists would no doubt be labeling him as a dud ?

What a cynic, suggesting that the AFL could possibly ever be dictated to by an outside influence, in this case the TV broadcasters. Scurrilous suggestion.

Beware - if Clarrie was getting too close to the bookies' favorite in the next few weeks*, the MRP would be instructed (by the Integrity Department no less) to find some tiny indiscretion (maybe a high tackle they could deem deliberate and dangerous) to ensure that the chosen one wins. The media and the gaming / gambling industry call the shots at AFL HQ. * and I do not believe the BS that they always spin about all votes being locked away at Chubb or Mayne etc. They know. Maybe Gil gets the duplicates.

Steve Bradbury???

One very determined dude we have there. Willed himself to do it. Well done Clarrie.

All too regular a mindset here I am afraid. Been happening for years. X, Y, or Z is out - hooray!!! We will win easily. Those who go on with this seem to forget that X, Y and Z are replaced by M, N and O.....so it still ends up our 22 vs their 22, and our 22 need to be focussed and at it all day. Sad truth, it seems. 86 games so won't even qualify for f/s, if that were to eventuate

Frankenstein again in the clear for high contact. Their usual protection of Sydney players and of this individual in particular.

Maybe the premise was that having him on our list would mean that he cannot play against us would in turn mean that we may eventually beat Norf. He seems to turn it on every time we play them.

I would see him as an 7.5/10 player. A good foot soldier but not a star. IF the price is right, yes. But not a must.

Couldn't care less about a bye after Alice - no harder than going to Brisbane / GC / Adelaide or Sydney, and almost certainly easier than Perth. But definitely a bye for both sides after a Darwin game in the interest of mutual fairness. AND no consecutive 6 day breaks, and certainly not two consecutive 6 day breaks and a long interstate trip (WA). AND a fair go re Friday night and Saturday afternoon / night games at the G. But if we have to play Norf in Tasmania, we just need to learn to beat them there.

Gerard was certainly not impartial on 774 this morning. Clearly innocent according to Gerard Exactly. Highly paid QCs will destroy the AFL / tribunal case.

"What tape? The camera failed? No idea how or why."

Bernie or Lewis (this year) would get 4-3 **and they also claim that they don't know the result in advance ???
