monoccular

Simple answer to the question posed: if he is fit and well, AND meets the coach's expectations, YES. Is not, NO, Same goes for every player every week.

A blond -- that could explain quite a lot ?

Interesting re read of the article: "Hannan's two teeth were partially dislodged from the force of McKenna's elbow and he was taken to visit the dentist at the end of the training session." Partially dislodged - maybe looking on the ground wasn't where they were - did they look in his bleeding mouth?

But, down to business. Can anyone who was there rate #4's intensity on a scale of 0-10? Thanks

We already have x^2 threads on JW, and a round 1 team thread (or maybe several)....so we need this?

So eloquently stated, as only you can Ernest.

What a strange and somewhat defeatist question. How about a positive mindset.....win round 1, AND the next 5, and the next 10, and the next ten??

Barrie - this reminds me of that absolute farcical night we played Footscray a few years ago.......the night we wore the pink jumper........and the genius at AFLHQ put the maggots in pink too. Late in the game as we were attacking with a real chance of a rare win, one of our guys mistook a maggot for a player and passed to him....Dogs cleared it and saved the game. As I recall DumbItriou made some smart arse comment and brushed it off. PS this 'clash jumper' is the best one yet.

Does that mean that we will be done for some trumped up non defined offence again? CC should not try to make jokes.....AFL think he is covering something up. (Hope Brock McLean didn't hear what he said)

Beat me to it I was going to say all is pending confirmation of the facts by The Donald.

Not an issue with VicKick standard umpires and VicKick standard players in the whites (thought they used to be called the good old navy blues). PS CP5 looking friggin awesome.

I have heard that many people in Casey take cash, (and anything else portable that you don't tie down) especially if you don't hang on to you wallet very carefully.

Who? So good anytime to coup McChins. And Sam seems such a high quality person to have Magpie genes. I loved watching Murray W's broad smile as Sam kicked that first goal with his first kick v Hawks. Maybe he will become a true convert and really p155 Ed off.

Fact? Speculation? [censored] stirring?

So can we clarify please. A commercial radio reporter says an unnamed source in the club said that JW came back NQR. Any word from those who have been able to get to training please. From what I remember reading there were no "issues", other than a crappy hairstyle. Please explain.

WTF? Presumable upper end or it would be called as ankle, but upper end could compromise the lateral knee ligament which could be a problem. Any insiders here who could elaborate?

Injuries Melbourne Wagner (dislocated fibula) Dislocated fibula?? Never heard of this. Top end, or bottom end (= ankle)??

All that faulty, and all would be forgiven for illegal drug use - "delayed concussion, didn't remember what he was doing and forgot the rules"!

I liked the part - Carey sold his intellectual property for $2 -- overpriced I reckon.

No - much smaller. But "free" to Telstra mobile customers. Is it also "free" to Telstra home internet customers? So typical of the greed of AFL, Telstra and Foxtel. Don't give a stuff for the peasants. Pay more for less service.

Sorry, titan, but that system looks very logical, and almost fair to the "lesser clubs", so clearly there is no way that the AFL will possibly allow that.

Wow. Bastards. Wouldn't have found out until Saturday as I do not watch Essendon games

Going back as far as the 1950, when red and blue dominated, I admired Bob Skilton Darrel Baldock Both were clean ball players, had unbelievable skills, and were totally fearless. The best I can recall seeing until Gablett Snr PS Might add Kevin Murray to that list.

Brilliant. And of course Norm Smith would go ballistic way back in 1964 if his back pocket player, say a certain someone wearing a number 5, were to venture forward and have a ping at goal! Rumour had it that despite Neil Crompton's indiscretion snatching back the GF Norm was (almost) apoplectic that he had broken team rules. ?

So has Jeff done enough?
