Yeah if i was Bailey, i'd say Frawley was one of our best players at the time and he put him forward because he wanted some goals.
Connolly was on the bench because we were struggling and he has senior coaching experience to offer. God help us if Josh M (sp?!) or Criag sit in the box this year!
if the AFL dont likethese responses then off to court we go. Try making such things stick in a court of law! they're unable to be proven beyond doubt!
At the end of the day, Bailey should be able to come up with any 1/2 justifiable excuse and clear his name, even if its dubious, who is to say he is right or wrong? If the AFL start to scrutinise a coaches every move, then i'll give up following the comp, and watch the WAFL
i've booked flights for the round 3 clash with WCE (with a heap of west coast mates), so hoping the team is up and about by then! If they're not, it'll be a long day!
I'm having flash backs to this time last year. so much percevied depth, so many options for starting 22's, but we know how that panned out
Cant wait until round 1
I dont want you to see red, but Pick 14 isnt exactly coming out of the blue, especially given his red hot form in the WAFL, where he was good enough to be selected to represent the WAFL in the stage game against the SANFL (in which he starred and kicked 3, including the winner)
Semi off-topic, regarding LJ;
I was in Bali over new years and sat at a table at a NYE dinner at the hotel with a couple from Alice Springs; one a police officer the other a nurse. He happened to have responded to the emergency call on the night that LJ allegedly committed the offences. The nurse was working in emergency when the victims were brought in.
I won’t go into specifics of what was said, but it was such a pity to hear about Liam in that light.
I think Rodan will excite alot of Demons fans this year.
But the players who exited me most last year were Howe, Clark & Jones.
2013 will be a good year if the players who exite me are those above + Trengove, Pederson, Dawes, Byrnes, Frawley, Garland, Dunn
I dont want Viney and Toumpas to be burdened, its time our older types to play like leaders and established AFL players should
Beeing based in WA i never really saw the point of them, but I flew over to watch the Dee's / Hawks game last year and sitting in the olympic stand with the wind howling and a massive chill factor i found a new respect for the humble scarf.
