Youre guessing that his teeth would've clattered together.

Oliver overreacted. Anyone arguing otherwise is just as bad as the MRP/tribunal they're dissing. If the shoe was on the other foot we would've been screaming to take it to the tribunal as well because there was actually absolutely SFA in it.

If Hogan and Watts come back in then either Stretch or ANB will have to go out if not Hannan who I do agree brings that something extra. ANB for all his forward pressure and improved decision making is excess to needs (dependant on Garlett getting up) with a power forward back in the team demanding the ball. Stretch did okay but as the replacement for Watts, logic would suggest he's possibly an omission.

So who does when Hogan returns?

I agree that Hannan is coming along nicely and has done some handy things but I'd much rather have Hogan roaming the forwardline and mixing it up in the centre. In; Hogan, Watts Out: Hannan, Salem Watts has been pretty smooth out of defence this year so I can't see these changes affecting our structure too much with Salem missing off half back causing a in like Wagner..

Part of the reason I reckon the club is being extra cautious with injury rehab times - it seems that way to me anyway. We're going to wear a few defeats between now and the end of the H&A but if we're fit and firing come finals time look out. Hopefully I'll be chewing through my frequent flyer points with trips to Melbourne.

Competition with Wagner now I guess.

Super excited for Joel to be back playing footy. Can he break back into the seniors? Hibberd wasn't available when Joel debuted and Melksham, Hunt, Jetta seem to have their spots secure for now and Oscar is improving all the time.

lol I've got nuthin..

Likes the smell of his own farts a bit does, Roosy. But he's completely entitled and justified to be doing that.

That's the biggest question. Obviously Viney has his shoulder concern, Hannan was a bit proppy on that hip complaint and Hibberd got thru okay but his Hammy is still a concern given another short break. If we can get this win against the Swans, the boys will have a decent 9 day rest before taking on the Blues. I'm mindful though of Goodwin saying we won't risk anyone so there could be a couple more forced changes on top of Salem and Garlett. But at this stage, it's fairly straight forward with Watts and JKH the logical replacements.

Blow for Demons with defender hamstrung Salem missing for 3 - 4 weeks will hurt us. Our soft tissue injuries are mounting... These 6 days turnarounds are catching up to us.

Apologies if it's been mentioned previously but gee whiz Hannan needs to measure his passes better than he currently is. Too much heat on a lot of them sailing over teammates heads.

And missed the best part of the third qtr. just an amazing game, incredible leadership.

He does indeed.

Fantastic. When you multiply that by the other 21 players there would've been a very special feeling amongst the group.

Harmesy was the only player to venture over to the Eagles members area where I was seated so I yelled as loud I could and he came over for man-hug. I said to him that "that was f'king epic" and he replied "yeah, it was a good win".

If Freo win this comfortably we will slip into the top 4!

Well, my planned 3 month abstinence from beers failed last night but after completing early 8 weeks I'm not too disappointed with myself - particularly because I think a celebratory drink was justified. I did however manage to lose my wallet with my mates Eagles membership card in it which I haven't got around to telling him about yet. The last minute was excellent given that I was surrounded by smug Eagles supporters listening to the radio saying "only 40 seconds left... only 21 seconds left now... bad luck mate". When Tmac kicked that goal I turned to the whole bay and went fecking nuts. One bloke called me a c$&t while giving me the finger which was nice. Probably in return for telling him earlier to cover up his hot chips in case 'Gaffy' jumped the fence. Last night just reconfirmed to me that WC supporters are a bunch of sore losers.

Yeah, i know it's 0124am and I've watched the last two minutes for the last half hour. Time.

Incredibly, but maybe not, for once after being actually at the ground, I can't wait to get home and watch the mother-fuggin replay on Tele.

Nash, I'm bloody exhausted! Hoarse throat, adrenalin still pumping, just so so satisfied it's hard to put it into words. I had the % sign ready to go and still have it with at 'The Vic' hotel. hope this works..
