monoccular

So was his year in Paris actually just to get him close to Lausanne to butter them up? Interesting thought. Goddard. Chapman. .......? Notice none of the "young guns". I still cannot derby and why WorkSafe hasn't bought in yet. I had thought they may have been awaiting WADA etc outcomes but it is just taking too long. Similarly AHPRA / Medical Board and Dr Reid. Unbelievable that they haven't lifted a finger.

Careful. The AFL logic may make us wear our away jumper for our home game. Pretty bloody simple, but when did the AFL consider simple solutions?????

So did the Cats....until this year. Let's make it the twin coach double.

And remember that Freo may well "rest" half their team then if they are clearly 1 or 2. Did it last year and lost to ?Saints?

Checked out to where though?? Umpiring once again giving Toiges an armchair ride. Paid a mark resulting in a goal hardly touching the ball then someone paid a mark after Kruzet was the only one who touched it. Absolute crap. And no doubt whoever is the umpires spokesman will justify it all as ok.

ball and Christian. - not injured, just a minor infraction.

FCS he is at Port: Toump is with us. Get over it.

Did he seem to be enjoying it, or was it under gun point? I am sure the opposition would love to hear all our club secrets too. Hey, maybe that's why they don't release everything! It will be interesting come season's end how the list managers rank MJones, Bail, Michie and Riley. Some of course will depend on contract status and options.

Bleeding Red n Blue, I hope. What a way to go. Adieu

If he is from Canberra, Saturday's weather shouldn't worry him one bit. Should thrive on it.

But only because the package wasn't playing Heard it so many times last week Awful

I was wondering how long it would take.

We will find out this week at the MRP whether they regard the head as sacrosanct are if they are as corrupt as they sometimes appear. Taylor Adams [allegedly] DELIBERATELY kneed an opponent - I think Westhoff - in the face (part of HEAD) several times. Should be 4 or 5 weeks but because he didn't kill or concussion him I guess they will say Ko case to answer of some piddling (for them) fine They have a choice : mark their ground and stamp this thuggery out, now, or say it it ok ,or not too bad, and it will continue until there is a serious injury. Dog of an act with potential for extremely serious injury.

Bloody Taylor Adams. Animal. Kneed ?Westhoff several times in the face whilst on the ground. We will find out just how sacrosanct the MRP finds the head I guess.

Can't complain about the lineup I just hope that Max can ruck all day as he really has no help

Isn't it just fantastic that Hird and his lawyers always find someone else to blame other than.......James Hird. The same James Hird who announced as the story broke all those years ago --- "I will accept full responsibility" He has accepted none, zero, nought. Not for the drug experiment, not for the team performance. If I could be bothered I would trawl through his period as a commentator and see what he said of coaches of unsuccessful teams. Doubt if he has put it all on the players' heads. Just shown his true character - fantastic footballer, deeply flawed person.

Reading elsewhere, I think that I am wrong. Maybe some sort of uncle.

I hate it too, but we did ok in it vs the Druggists last year....just.

I am waiting for the soothsayers come out with their "flash-in-the-pan" posts Well done Aaron. You have started well, and fitted into a much needed rôle. Keep it up. We have seriously missed you

Actually, IF we play as well as we did vs Cats, he next 4 are eminently winnable IF

Yeah....hope that they aren't bringing back the 'top ups' that did us in the preseason. :-((

I believe that he is the son of Wayne, who is famous for a "pretty spectacular goal assist" in a GF v Collingwood. And by the way people talk of a heavy ground this weekend - just have a look at the video of that game...that is heavy. Trouble is who would that be?? Junior Mc used to do it but he isn't playing. Cant think of anyone else, And you believe one word that that compulsive 'stranger to the truth' (as they say in parliament) would say? Probably means that he is in.

Just watched the highlight of ladt year's match Great last Q fightback Loved Jordie's two precision handballs in that last passage, and Salem's composure - even though in Derwayn's call he wasn't even an option for that last pass. Reminded me also of what an awful commentator Derwayn is. 'His greatest moment ' keeps coming from his mouth. And his blatant barracking for the Druggists. Awful.

* do you mean the right choice in abandoning the club that supported (and paid) him so well during his illness and injuries???? Many I know following other clubs, Geelong included, felt he let down those who helped him. Still we got HL and Geelong got a NQR.
