monoccular

It is hard to think of a better one. And just looking at the Frittata sealer, how much was that due to Petty's incredible closing and carefully judged spoil? Not recorded as a goal assist but it certainly was. Probably Harrison's best game - even despite his 6 goal haul v Tigers last year. His work up the ground was impressive and vital.

As I have said more than once before the VFL is an absolute dog’s dinner as a development / support / back up competition, and the stuffed suits at AFLHQ don’t give a rat’s [censored].

IF Bowey is really ready I would bring him in for Billings and play Woey on a wing / HF No other changes unless they think Laurie needs a full game at Casey.

That is high praise and will hopefully turn out to be spot on.

Welcome back Harry. Your contested marking tonight was first rate. So glad the selectors don’t decide according to the demo(n)cratic votes on this forum.

Pace +++ and that tackle ❤️💙 Cool head Usually a very good kick. Fantastic pick up.

Not just epic Daicos, but also epic Carlton defence, or non defence. And why shouldn’t they lose 3 on the trot. I see Colonwood have a freebie next week.

When #4💩 puts Cripps down and out for a week and actually gets suspended for a few months - then I will watch this game on replay.

And am I correct in saying that he also forced his own team mate Murphy into retirement?

Port 5 g 17 b in just short of a full game. Who has them as contenders?

Maybe Geelong could make him a short term Hawkins replacement ? Fits the age profile.

We all know who caused the retirements of Murphy and Gus - was said #4💩 anywhere near Rory's eye perchance?

They. already have a Tasmanian presence, and they have a coach who is said to support a Tasmanian presence. Nobody wants an uneven number of teams. Logic suggests that North relocate. Chook - AFL may well be heading for broke if the rumoured concussion class action succeeds.

Thanks Kev and all others including WCW Did I read it right that both Bowey and Melksham were in full training? Fabulous news if I am reading correctly. Would it mean that Bowey could be back this week or next, and Melk only a few weeks later presumably via a few at Casey

Chinese swimmers?

Are you saying that the AFL has a ruling that they are holding back? Seriously? Reasons?? Blackmail? Corruption? Incompetence? Totally unbelievable and unacceptable if this is true.

WADA ASADA and or the AFL are denying the Magna Carta Magna Carta of 1215, clause 40 of which reads, "To no one will we sell, to no one will we refuse or delay, right or justice.

“Still think Verrall can still play a role some stage this year as a 2nd hand Similar to how we use Jackson.” Verrall sounds an interesting one. To even mention him in the same sentence as Jackson causes salivation. And for those who have had the opportunity to see both throughout their careers, and I reacll Max took about 4 years to be taken seriously, how do these two compare? More cause for salivation?

Undoubtedly these questions will already have been asked, or will be covered anyway by the panel: 1/ why have our 3 midfield guns. Clarry, JV and Tracc gone off the boil at the same time? I can't remember any of them let alone all having such a poor run of form. 2/ Is Harry's horror run of form mainly physical, or mental? Does he need to see the team psychologist? Personally I think suggestions of him having checked out are offensive. Surely he would love another flag, even if he is planing on moving to SA sometime, and it would also lower his bargaining power if he ended up at Casey 3/ Who should take HBF while Bowey and Salo recover? To me it doesn't look like Woey, at this stage of his career at least. 4/ From whom are our goals going to come in the next two vital weeks? Fritta? Disco again? Petty? Smalls? 5/ Why was BBB played at Casey instead of being given a genuine rest? He needs to be very carefully managed if he is to contribute come the business end of the season. 6/ is there any explanation at all for the turnover fest in the first half? Probably the worst I can recall, and from both sides Thanks as always for your mostly positive slants on our beloved Demons.

Not forever but yes for a week.

Do we really know if Fullerton is a ruck forward or a forward ruck? They wouldn’t even open the mail. So far up themselves the arrogant bastards at AFL HQ

Ross Lyon - how long since he ran out on Freo? Hangover still? 4. Or is he on the AFL darling list?

First word sums it up. IF the AFL were serious about violence and assault, which this was. IF they could do it in a way that gave them enough wriggle room for their anointed darlings to get off when needed they may consider it, but if they can't, they won't. Point one - pretty unlikely in my view especially for the types of incidents discussed here Point two - the best summation yet, but again, what if Pendelberry or Cripps did this on finals eve?

Somewhere I recall there have been suggestions that the MRO and tribunal are corrupt incompetent institutions. There has certainly nothin happen this week to suggest otherwise.

Yes probably US cultural imperialism, but stolen from Yiddish long before the existence of the nation Israel. And yes - Clarry is a beaut bloke, quite bonza.
