ughh. this has put us a bad position. no way do we delist him if he is likely to get off. maybe we ask the afl for special consideration and attempt to move him to the rookie list?
I was furious that we didn't take the bulldog trade last year.
I have a feeling Bate might get another contract extension now for some reason.
Neeld seems to see something in him.
We were the worst vic team last year too. We won all our games against easy beats and had no defensive structure or game plan. We were nowhere near finals contention. So the only real questions it raises in my mind is - do you know what your talking about?
loved it when he tagged Hird. Took him out of the game and racked up some good stats himself.
I will always remember him as a Demon. He ended upbhaving a [censored] fight with Chris Connelley didnt he?
Two years in a row Suns have beaten them up there!
I think it would be better for the Suns to finish 18th. They will take Whitfield and then GWS will take Grundy.
If GWS finish 18th they may decide to take Whitfield. Suns would then look a lot more closely at bidding for Viney as they don't need Grundy and would rather an inside mid.
I thought he was really good for his first game back.
The turnover in the last was annoying. Lined it up, drilled it, hit the target right on the [censored]. Shame it was a Freo player.
Not sure what to take away from it to be honest.
I was pleased with our first quarter. Losing Jamar was such a blow. Martin leaving the forward line really left us without a target.
I was really hoping the boys could stick it out. It would have been a great hard fought win.
We really have got to stop all these turnovers. It simply kills us.
I have faith in our current coaching staff to do their job.
I would much rather take a player who has at least 6 or 7 years ahead of them than Chapman.
I would take Sewell in a heartbeat. He is a few years younger than Chapman though. There is no way that we will lure him away from the hawks though. So i find little reason discussing him.
meh... i think a lot of people were baying for blood. the ball was in the air and he had a chance of marking. if he didnt bracevhimself for impact and didnt take his eyes off the ball it would have been play on.
Well done Bate.
I feel Bate's career has been held back due to poor development. Bulk up, Trim down. Your a mid, your a forward, your a demon one week a scorpion for 3 weks. Your not wanted. you are wanted.
A well deserved 100 games and ill be flying up from hobart to cheer him on this week.
He has been recovering from an injury recently. And therefore easing into it at Casey. He really hasn't shown anything this year. I wonder if he will be a causality of the new game plan
There were rumors a few weeks ago that he was out on the town and got in a fight a few weeks ago. Hope it wasn't true.
