monoccular

Looked like the umpire called play on there before that 50m gift to GWS.

Not likely Lewis MFC: Greene GWS

Green needs three weeks for that - will be offered one down to a fine. PS if Dogs' Dr Zimmerman was like the Blues' one it would be two months.

Relentless pressure and relentless running will win us if we keep it up for 4/4

One has to wonder if Brooos has an Oedipus complex the way he swoons over Mummmmyyy

Either - dropped, or; - suspended by another brain fade

That "below knees" to GWS was actually "in the back" to the Dog who bent down to get the ball. Another absurd knee-jerk rule - this one I think by not the current knee jerk, Gil, but his predecessor jerk Vlad.

BT orgasmic over Bont's handball - almost as good as a typical Oliver one.

Finally a correct deliberate OOB decision. Thanks Gil for f'ing up our once great game

OMG the commentary is awful. BT is just inane. Bruce whilst he knows his stuff, is past it.

I may have said it earlier, but I just think (other than the fact that they don't have a clue about footy) they just cannot believe that any human could possibly handball as quickly as does Ollie.

The small forwards will need to run, run, run and spread to give options. Totally agree the "kick it long" supporters will be frustrated. ...maybe because Col is out for the year Sadly though counteractioned by his no tackle colleague IF he can hit his best form, and IF he runs with Daniher all day, then he will have to do some ruck work. No doubt his WCE pharmacist coach will find an answer.

Just a genuine question steve - are you a physiological, myotherapist, exercise physiologist, orthopaedic surgeon, sports physician, or none of the above? Just above the funny bone?

Has anyone here seen the footage? Is there a link? Was it as bad a Jesse's 2 weeker, or Lewis' 3 weeker?

Looks almost a reflex action as he was off balance falling So presumably no footage of Angus at all anywhere?

Not a very good one either Seriously though, is the instigator of this thread a bored school kid of some sort?

Competes Applies pressure Tackles Allows Watts to play forward most of the game Every clearance hit out is a bonus

Nothing it seems Typical of that amateurishly run comp

Brayshaw presumably was concussed despite the varying interpretations and versions coming out from the club. Get well quick please. And presumably NO MRP output from this amateurish body aka VFL thugs.

Watts is not "an adequate back up ruck who can play forward" but rather a very creative forward who can play back up ruck (surprisingly effectively). But the Geelong, the Freo and the Richmond games have shown us just how much we need him up forward, and what a gaping hole he leaves there when required to do any other than brief relief ruck work.

Good thought. IF Tommy plays his best and negates Daniher all day -- even following him to the bench when he goes there -- then we are in with a real chance.

Coach's favourite will play wherever he wants, provided he doesn't have to lay a tackle Injury issues?

If Melksham plays, which I suspect he will, I will join you, au chapeau, for dinner.

I am certain that we would have been at least a little bit better in each game with them both in the team: v Freo it was just a little bit that was needed, and the experience at winning of Lewis may well have held the line. With the loss of Gawn v Cats the forward line, disappeared with Watts having to ruck, may well have done the deed especially were Jesse there to lessen the loss of Watts as a forward. Lewis may well also have provided that missing stability in the critical moments v Tigers, and we all now know what terrible distractions Jesse must have had that night. So, in summary, without the Carlton doctors either maliciously, or incompetently, overplaying those injuries, we could well be 5-0.

That is a dilemma for all teams, especially given the three up rule and the construction of the bench. It had been suggested at least by some here that both Max and Spence play in the earlier games. It can never be known, but I guess one could speculate that were they both there would either or both have suffered these particular injuries. Was Max "overtired" when he did him hamstring? Was Spence "fatigued" when he did his shoulder? One can and will never know.
