monoccular

If he isn’t up to it he should not be playing. Pure and simple

Great goal assist Kolt

The whole KB “incident” was, as was the moon landing, staged. Moore had a pad on his knee. Tracc could have played on and could have played tonight. The scan was a scam. Anyone who calls me a conspiracy theorist is one themselves. He just wants play with Moore and 🐀💩4

I guess we will get a good look at him tonight - maybe we will see how early he is locked down? Hopefully?

…. and can you name one who is gettable, please?

This has been one of my biggest complaints / observations for years - even way back when Ox and Neitz were there. Always congested. Is it laziness or lack of coaching? Carlton are doing it well.

Surely no sane selection committee would select a player straight into the firsts after a long layoff 🙄😮 Is that the same de Koenig who kneed Max in the head from behind in a ruck contest - “play on”? Only emphasizes the lack of knowledge of the rules by the part time umpires. Perhaps they have a forward coach who understands forward play and structure. Who do they have in that role? And of course there will be atonement for that error made up in spades tonight 😡

Could be just a malicious rumour, but I did hear somewhere that his knees are not quite 100% 🤫

If all the players in the original post played to their capabilities consistently we would have a very solid base going forward Re the backline : they have been far more under siege this season due to the significant fall off in our midfield.

I wouldn’t trust either the AFL or the media on anything much actually WCW - you hate mi’splaced comma’s, wherea’s I really get ‘severely up’set when ‘someone put’s apo’strophe’s before ju’st about every letter ‘s.

Whether or not we are playing finals, we don’t need players suspended for round 1 (or round zero; maybe the AFL will, in their infinite wisdom, call it round munis 1. 🙄). Remember Kozzie missed round 0 this year, and we surely and sorely missed him. Do we know whether he did or didn’t have his spleen removed. See below. “I had to go straight into surgery at 2am; open surgery. I wasn’t under anaesthetic because my blood levels were so low.” This sounds very strange and there are surely some missing pieces. I have never seen (or done) open abdominal surgery without anaesthesia even in dire emergencies. If he actually had “open surgery” on his abdomen he will be pushing to get ready for the start of 2025. Club doctors need to make clinical decisions, which involves the history of and from the patient, and hands on touch, feel, listen. There is always patient input in this. And diagnoses are always subject to periodical review. Some may be adept at “bedside ultrasound” but this is very operator dependent and in this case wouldn’t have been of much help - note that the first CT some 4 hours post injury failed to show his splenic injury. As far as radiological assessment of scans is concerned, this can be achieved almost instantaneously remotely. This happens almost everywhere all the time : reports come from the UK (or USA or other English speaking first world health system countries) overnight when our radiologists are sound asleep, and vice versa. But the technology of achieving a quality scan depends on good well maintained equipment, and a competent radiographer who would need to be immediately available on site. Unlikely to be achievable at every AFL ground for every game. It is not as if there is a glut of radiographers who would only rarely be used for a CT scan. Especially as they are too tight assed to spend a few hundred bucks on goal line technology.

Actually, Schache is neither, sadly.

And don't discount a midfield who can deliver cleanly too. PS ... and a plan too

But would Goody have not given him a run either?

Sure, but in what role - he wouldn't / couldn't play froward at all (after the practice match at Casey v Richmond)?? Thanks, Nostradamus 🙄 What a performance by Joel Armati. 9.1 from 10 disposals, including 7 marks, 6 tackles. Could anyone ever do that in the red and blue?? "Only" 195 cm. Do we have any recruiting scouts in Ghana?

The highlighted bit is worth a bump - forward and forward entry game plan is killing our chances and our fan base. We have many of the cattle, but no plan or no workable one. 😧😮😢

We need some Venn diagrams here. Only 1% also don’t think that they are selectors, list managers, recruitment managers and umpires.

Is she match fit? And what position would you play her?

None more vital than Saturday week evening v North. Dreadful timing for us how we are currently underperforming v a team who struggle to get a quorum of supporters, but please true supporters turn up and give your full voiced support. Empty blocks will ensure that we return to graveyard time slot like we always had until 2021-2023.

Well this part is up to the players, and their nominated and unnominated leaders. Get together and thrash it out (no, not Entrecôte style) and bring a plan to the coach. We have been 3 short on the list since round 0. We are now 4 down until Milk gets back, but even then it is still 3. 2 stars (Angus and CP5), 1 good filler in (JS) and one very good player (JM). Makes it tough to plan some continuity. But, when the going gets tough, he tough get going : are we tough guys??

A bit early? Mid season! If it won't help us this year then OMG!! He is 25, and in his fourth year in the system not a speculative tall draft pick. If he isn't physically and mentally up to it now will he ever be? (Schache say hi, too).

And didn't 💩#4 also KO one of their own in the GF who has been forced into retirement?

.... and we recruited Fullarton to fill this role, but even in our time of absolute desperation he hasn't been tried. Is it too early to all him an epic fail?
