monoccular

How good, and inspirational, was that last run out of defence after Nev saved the day, helping set up the ANB Lewis final coffin nail? Took on (was it) Simpson, and left him grasping at thin air. He has done that quite a few times in recent weeks, and generally executes it well.

I will be checking my insurance policies to see if this mob is somehow in the fine print. And if they are and the scumbag does not apologize to Oliver and to the club I will certainly review my options. WTF would anyone bring up their employment in this context? Shows just how little cerebral higher functions this guy actually possesses. Which in turn makes one concerned that he may be making important decisions re my insurance.

I was going to but couldn't find an appropriate email address. Does anyone know of one?

Oliver - pi55ed them off

His [Jesse] best work in this comeback game was around the middle and wings.

The club 'culture' is at a new high: an apology for this would dent this badly. Instead we need to get on the front foot and demand an apology from him, and from MCC and security for not evicting him immediately.

Tom could start deep forward (formerly known as full forward) with Jesse up the ground (CHF) - when Tom rucks, Jesse goes deep. Keeps the flexibility, and the opposition guessing. And throw in JW4 as a roaming mid / forward just for more variety and opposition headaches.

He admitted that he did......where were the security bully boys? I am sure if it was a neatly dressed man, or a woman, they would have bundled him out quick smart.......but bogans stick together. Isn't he representing the AFL at Le Tour? Fans do not touch a player, full stop. Too simple for you Gil? Want a survey?

When he played up the ground he started to find form and touch. Silly to suggest he take the year off.

You want his address and his dog's name too? And his nice shiny car is ................. But I think Jake King is not taking on new jobs right now

So you close your eyes tight then?

Without the absence of Jesse, we would never have had to move Tommy forward, and would be tossing up between him, his bro and Frost. The move has allowed all three to blossom Perhaps a blessing in (very deep) disguise. Seemed to work in well with Jesse this week ie making space for each other and making defenders separate. Haven't seen that with 2 big forwards for a long time - they usually get in each other's way. Vince made a few very poor decisions creating costly turnovers. Failed to provide leadership when needed. No longer in my top 22.

presumably this fragmented discussion refers to Hannon? Great pick up and versatile tough strong player who can snag a goal from nothing.

I saw it too - best post match presser that I have ever seen. He has brought something very special to our club - kudos to PJ and Roos (and all others involved) in getting him to us, and for a fantastic succession plan* * Eddie take note

deebug - have a close look at Ethan's avatar - only a head. They behead folk for that sort of thing in ?? "Delayed concussion", a condition unique to Carlton, from round 2

Entirely in our own hands. Adelaide next week, and Port the following. Win both and we are in top 4. Then keep winning. Easy really. ?

I heard on the radio commentary that security "spoke to" the scumbag but did anyone see if they reprimanded him in any way? Should have evicted him, or at very least moved him away from the fence.

I maintain the faith though as our top players get back he may well go back to Casey.

Are they maybe suggesting that he offered a meeting, late at night in a dark alley, with Jake King? Or was that Ty Vickery? Or maybe he was offering to send Dusty around with some chopsticks?

Disappointing that he hasn't taken on the on field leadership role when the skippers went down. Very happy that he offered ANB that option at the death knell today though. And kicked the goal - you never know it could even make a difference re percentage.

Presuming Dom and JW4 available - Stretch and Kent on thin ice IMO. And Vince had better lift next week with Salem possibly being ready the following week.

Oh yeah. Once again the victim's fault. At least he didn't do what the AFL cultural attache (or whatever) did and jumped the fence. Still, unwelcome publicity after a gutsy (and lucky) win.

KC - anyone put their hands up for next week?

6. Nev 5. Tom 4. Frosty 3. ANB 2. Clayton 1. Oscar apology Hibberd, Trac

The pessimist in me sees them calling the guys back out and giving the Blues a couple of free in the goal square.
