8 point game and if we win they will be the best ranked team we’ve beaten

Nothing personal against Junior Rioli but I was a little peeved that he copped a two week suspension (reduced from 3) at the Tribunal the other night. How could they have applied the same punishment in a situation where a player caused an opponent to be concussed and miss at least the following week to one where his club gives him the all clear?

The slipperiness was due to the state of the ground after a heavy downpour on the night before the game. And yes it was humid during the course of the game.

Expect Jefferson to have a big post season at the end of the year and return bigger and stronger and near AFL ready. As it is, he’s the leading goalkicker at Casey so far this year. Ollie Sestan should look different as well after a pre season.

Especially after 46 possessions the week before and no promotion.

This. Daicos is in his second season and is leading many awards and a Brownlow favourite. He’s one of the factors behind Collingwood’s rise from 17th to flag favourite. There are no guarantees with recruiting but the addition of a player of that calibre could be enormous over a long term, especially when added to an already quality list.

For Melbourne - the great Tommy Bugg kicked four goals and for North Melbourne, the great BBB also booted four. I think Brown should forget the haircuts in future and grow his hair back to previous lengths.

Poor old Robbo’s crook this week. Shouldn’t bag him at least over this one.

What if they’re gone and JT and crew genuinely want someone they know will still be available at 20?

I asked the question on the Changes thread and nobody could give a definitive answer. Someone wrote that today is the day on which the 2022 playing contracts are supposed to expire so I guess we’ll know soon enough.

Is anyone concerned that at this late stage we have yet to contract Michael Hibberd or Jake Melksham (according to the Herald Sun subscriber pages):

Good luck to him - he certainly was a talent when he played Under 18s.

Does anyone know what junior club he played for in Victoria before the family moved over to WA?

Whatever happened to the key talls from SA who were so much in vogue earlier this year? Have they fallen away or are the SA clubs hiding them?

Looks unlikely to be taken in the top 40 but does that mean we would draft him?

I can guarantee that when players get 30 touches in a game, a few of those won’t work out perfectly. Some will be due to extra pressure on the player with the ball and some due to the player receiving. If you’ve watched enough of their games, you would realize that Tsatas’ disposal is up there with the best at this level. That’s why highlight reels are basically useless. Fair dinkum, on what you’ve offered up here, most of you wouldn’t have drafted Trac.

Two goals in the first quarter to Max Gruzewski, a 193cm tall key who can play forward and back and who Melbourne has spoken with.

Could be on his way to Windy Hill?

Why not go for both Gunston & McKay? After all, Brown’s productivity has dropped below acceptable of late and we haven’t managed to get T.Mac on the field. Both getting older, slowing down and injured. They might be on their last legs next year.

EDMUND’S MEGA TRADE UPDATE ON TARANTO, JACKSON, GUNSTON, RIOLI AND MORE “West Coast believe they’re still in the hunt for Luke, so we cannot rule out the Eagles. “Fremantle are seen to be the frontrunner there, that might still be the case, but the Eagles maintain they’re still in the race for the WA-born ruckman. “Luke Jackson’s gone, let’s just state that as fact.”

Two top ten picks plus a decent player with other possible positional changes. This would give the club the opportunity to secure a ruck replacement and a tall key forward to cover future needs as compensation for such a talented young star.

Perhaps he’s just checked out knowing his chances of a senior berth are pretty minimal. The only way he can resurrect his career IMO is at another club if one of them wants him.

Hunt named at HBF.

Young is a player of the future and tied to a long contract with the Dockers. No way.

It’s a pity we missed out on that Sudanese ruckman who was tied to us before the AFL changed the rules.
