monoccular

Bernie Vince of recent time. Dom Tyson if he can get his leg right could turn out a classy pick up too.

Yeah. At least we can be 100% certain that Cale wasn't in body building drugs.

Would have to agree - very agile and very quick off the mark and quick thinking. Can make up for pure speed. I know he would be a dinosaur in today's game, but Greg Williams was amazingly 'quick' in thought and action, and strong in body, but really very slow across the ground. He has had a rotten run with injuries: let's hope that is behind him and with a good preseason he gets a chance to show his wares 2016. and Interesting that both are mooted as delists / trades ? :-)

Biggest question of all......was he injected or did he refuse? Until that is answered (and if he was injected then would have to wait until WADA cleared him) I wouldn't touch him

Yeah. What a lazy bastard......feigning injury to avoid hard work. Another failure of recruiting, development, injury prevention. C&B = [censored].

I am sure that the AFL, the paragons of integrity, (draft, draw, finals scheduling, three strikes policy, PEDs, tanking, MRP and tribunal etc etc etc) will find a way that Sideney will not have to suffer too much. All too true. Can buy lots of other stuff, but not happiness.

Certainly up there, but Viney, Brayshaw, Hogan and maybe even Harmes will be up there with him.....and of course there us the other Christian yet to debut. All have 'that aura' :-)

Do you seriously, even if you did say it in bold type, want us all to believe that Jackson and Rawlings would make these sort of major statements / comments "in the room" in the presence of random people??? If they actually did them our club is in even deeper [censored] than we all think.

Was that at Doglands? Was that the last win there? We're any of our current list playing in our last win at Doglands?

Bate was traded (or delisted) many years ago.

IMO our players all look better, and bigger, in our jumper rather than the garbage white nonMFC things that the bloody AFL HQ make us wear from time to time.

Now all I can wish for is for Harvey to get caught out doing what he does, sniping, for a totally indefensible reportable offence. One that even the MRP and tribunal cannot ignore.

Just about worst case scenario for Toiges would be a narrow unconvincing win with some sore bodies. It could be confidence sapping struggling to beat a team that really didn't wNt to win.

Perhaps the Tigers still think mistakenly that if they lose they could finish 9th?

That is the only way that this will be resolved, so let's hope that happens. What concerns me a bit is what Wayne Carey suggested could happen. Set up some patsy to go out and run riot...maybe "do a Mitchell" and knee a few Tigers to prevent them running next week. So what if he gets caught and misses a few weeks at the start of next season. After all he could serve on or maybe two weeks in the finals, even though he was unlikely to be selected. Some sort of "team penalty" for the following week may be needed (though not sure how it could work...maybe a goal or two head start for their opponents.)

Maybe they are part of our off season surprise recruitments :-))

Tony. You will start rumors rolling that "he is off to the Cats", or even that you are a closet Bulldog.

Sounds a strong character to have handling the younger players. I must say delivers a more convincing message than our senior coach.

Actual numbers 8,780 AFL official announcement 14,000 (after scrutiny by the overworked Integrity Department, of course)

If you know any Richmond or StKilda fans you could ask them.

Just maybe, possibly, Watts is injured or ill.

Ah...,the plot thickens. I was going to say that the selectors said NYET, but now this twist. Maybe we secretly asked permission from the Integrity Commissioner* (LOL) to play games with our team too. *just cannot control my laughter when I read this position as being part of the AFL

. Do you have a part time job writing those "jokes" they have in Christmas Krakoeurs ?

. And of those it is really only Hunt who could be considered as having "untried and untapped potential".

If we can't rise with the help of Roos and Jackson, who even the most skeptical of our skeptics would agree come from a successful club background, then we are well and truly doomed.How about trusting them (and their associates of course) collectively to make "the right decision" on our list management and see what happens. I am sure they know more than any of us what is going on with Toumpas' body and mind and whether he is worth hanging on to.
