Hope Fritsch pulls up OK after the knee in abdomen

Yes deiter, you do disrespectfully label posters and call posters names. Both of those were put downs, but i understand you cannot see that. And I'll add another of your spurious judgements here: You don't know me. You jump to conclusions on what other posters think and then go on wild rants with little relevance to what they actually wrote. The 'Ethans of the world' post wasn't even quoting him, such was your hurried frenzy to high horse. You are so focussed on your outrage that you find copying and pasting the opinions of others easier than formulating it in any detail in your own words - its lazy, condescending and laughable (possibly a breach of copyright too). Ethan's smack down should have been enough, but you had to go and put the other foot in your mouth. No doubt you'll continue with this boorish drivel... it's one of the prices we pay for freedom of speech. Looking forward to tonights game. Go Dees!

So dieter, somehow it's OK for you to disrespectfully label and call posters names AND show distain for a bunch of cricketers behaving poorly? Seems more than a touch of hypocrisy there. I don't GAF about these players or their individual penalties, I just think it's been whipped up into a hysterical frenzy by the media and become more about revenge, perception and the bottom line (sponsorship, IPL, etc) and less about proportional response. Will this stop players ball tampering or behave poorly? Fat chance.

Really? What a lot of rubbish. Granted, he's not likely to play ruck or a key position, but with about 10 years potentially left in his career you don't think he could develop into a rebounding hbf or a high half fwd? I certainly think barring injury he could. But I'm sure we'd all like him to succeed in the midfield.

WON'T SOMEONE THINK OF THE CHILDREN!!!!

Yep, new ball more often and no 'manipulation' of the ball at all. No shining one side, no sweat or saliva, no returns on the bounce, only umpire to adjust ball. Min penalty 10 runs and match fee. Just because shining one side has happened for 100 years doesn't mean it's not unaturally manipulating the ball to advantage.

Although Jesus was known as a carpenter, he never actually sang on any of their albums

That carpark is literally highway robbery

I know you are having a laugh DAG, I just wanted to point out Pedo's centring kick to Max was textbook perfect. I'm sure they work on those plays at training, but it couldn't have worked out any better (except the score, of course). Pedo may not be quick or the most skilled footballer, and he's getting a bit old in the tooth, but he plays his role for the side pretty damn well

Somehow I pictured you looking like that in your very distant youth Daisy. But in black 'n white, of course

Err, what's your point Daisy? Did you miss Play School today?

Until???

Oliver needs to round out his game with more kicking. He's a good kick and overhead mark. Can't be on his knees shooting out handballs for the next 10 years. I saw him move forward a number of times during the Geelong game, perhaps dragging opponent out of their comfort zone. More goals would also round out his game further

He has a point. Oliver, Jones and Lewie are all good kicks and don't do it enough, particulary Oliver, of course.

Actually, he did. There was video on twitter last week of Oliver doing 90 deg turns and repeat kicking on his left foot to a team mate. Goodwin might remind him of this during his weekly review

But it did make a long shot at goal a certain goal, Wise. How many times this season will he have these pointless brain fades? I love watching Lewie when he's on, such as the second half, but it doesn't take much to not mouth off to the umps or refrain from whacking a guy off the ball, like last year

Headline of the year

Yes and no, od. I'm in the camp of 'give him more time'. Plenty of tall timber out there taking 4-5 years to come on. eg. Gawn, Hawkins. But in the end, we have to trust that the fd will assess the situation better than us mere mortals. Otherwise we'd be pulling out the little hair we have left!

It is if you are a high draft pick not playing OD

It's easy mate, plenty more fish in the sea. Ditch the missus.

I will encourage Max Gawn to tamper with the ball to get reverse swing

No he didn't play

Jeez we're missing Jack Watts in the forward line
