Dockett 32

The original injury was convenient, so it seems is the recurrence.

Didn't Roos indicate he wanted bigger bodied mids. The days of us recruiting midgets might be over.

Getting back to normal it would seem.

I have a feeling and sincerely hope, you correct the lack of Shiraz later on. Trust you're on the mend.

Might?

We do!

Wont be the top two as they are both big blokes.

Excellent role model behaviour for young Hogan. I hope we can see them operating up forward together.

Who owns the governance responsibilities ( players/club ) then Red?

Interesting stuff and you blokes know more about this than me. Some may say the "no records scenario" could long term end up a far more serious issue than the very dodgy/perhaps illegal administering practices themselves. I haven't explained myself too well here, but if they get a no sanctions reward for their effort,s it would seem odd and what message would it send? Would not seem right to me.

Seems to me top clubs like Geelong ( Ottens, Rivers) Hawthorn ( Gibson, Hale) Collingwood ( Jolly, Ball) Swans ( Tippett, Hall) aren't that concerned about draft picks at all. They know they aren't going to get them because they are on top. Just pick off the good players from the cellar dwellers, much easier. IMO Players association and managers have blind sided the AFL on this. Means 5 year plans for cellar dwellers simply can't work as players depart prior to reaching their peak and you are left with immature kids. Its a nonsense to be hoodwinked by them. Winning should be a week to week expectation. The potential losses that worry me most for our club are Frawley & Gawn. Silvia may have a couple of years left and Jack Watts hasn't moved up to the consistently good or match winning status. I think we know where we would be left if we lost all four. Hope we get on the front foot here.

If you can arrange an each way pay out for 4th on the tote, your a shoe in redleg!

Hard to find a good goat. Ease up!

I think I may have backed a few that ran like the one outlined in the Hippogriff photo. Congratulations on your win Redleg.

Couple of slow learners about! Nice refreshing initiative.
