Undeeterred

For the record, whilst I wish I said something stronger, it astounds me that !d!ot is censored.

Or more fundamentally, what the idiot also doesn't grasp is that he is advocating potentially stuffing a player for all eternity in return for him playing one game, in Round 1, against a mediocre opposition.

Super glad they stopped scheduling our annual arse flogging from Hawthorn in Round 1, and gave us a bit longer to prepare.

I actually think it would make more sense to start JKH, rather than make him the sub. He'll end up sitting there for three quarters, getting more and more nervous, then potentially have to come on and contribute immediately when the game might be in the balance. Far better, in my view, to let him run out and get the nerves away in the first quarter, then sub him out for Byrnes if he's cooked, or Byrnes in for someone else if he's going ok. Much less pressure on the kid that way.

I love how since I put mjt on ignore, life is so much calmer for me!

Mate, you need to get out more, and stop worrying so much!

So, Clark gone, they've officially admitted they have NFI what to do about Chris Dawes, which means he has to be on the indefinite list, and Hogan is now out to 3-4 weeks. As per my posts above, subtle and not-so-subtle shifts in the media position. What they are effectively saying is that all these guys are basically no go for they have no idea how long.

Tom MacDonald played CHF in juniors didn't he?

I think it would be more than bothersome even for them. It really tears the guts out of your structure, not having forward options. We're just lucky that we still have a few left!

Honestly, I think you need to take a step back, a deep breath and maybe give yourself a week or two's break from this site. If you can't read a thread without taking bait from people who know you're going to bite and occasionally just not answering, have a break. It's intensely boring.

Just being realistic, but I think without all of these key planks in our team, we could well get smashed by the Saints. Hope not, but I think we're overestimating how far we've come.

Come on people, please, enough with the Juice! Incidentally, though, he'd have a better crack than Cook this week at getting a game if both were on our list.

Bigger fish to fry than this I reckon.

I'd say they boil down to the same thing, stuie boy.

Disagree. You're being completely unrealistic about the ability of anybody to herd cats on an internet forum.

I've managed to sneak 1!

Yet you have made the same, bleating, whiny post about eight times when both the masses and the moderators have made their views on your ridiculous, naive thread fairly clear. Edit: Hadn't read the last page. Eighteen times.

Seriously, such drivel that you've been automatically put on ignore.

Gee, not sure. I mean, they did play in last year's grand final, so I think it is a fairly safe bet to label them as a contender.

Confucius strikes again.

I agree - you probably are the only one who has noticed something wrong! Better email Roosy and co and alert them.

Because, Rhino, he's a complete fcukwit masquerading as a journalist.

Yeah, although you can look at it that he was saying they were aiming for all three to be back by then, but the media message is slightly shifting each time we hear anything.

It could go either way - either they will be completely rudderless, or a pack of enthusiastic kids who have nothing to lose.

The article on AFL.com.au about Roos' successor had this buried at the bottom... Sounds a bit ominous - Dawes at least 4 weeks away from training, club has no idea about Hogan and 'day-to-day' tends to mean 'month-to-month' in my book. Interesting to keep a watch on how this pans out
