They are doing a fund raising for his MND foundation. Starting Queens Birthday game. The first $10,000 raised gets Tim Watson dunked in the ice. I presume that for every $10,000 raised another celeb. gets dunked. When we find out the details what about we start a collection to go towards the foundation?

He may love the club but the almighty $$$ talks How many worth their salt have shown loyalty to the club above love for the $$$

Loved him since his first couple of games in the back pocket. Just marked everything that came his way.

You can say bears do Shite in the forest.Bailey said that in response to a question. By the way I don't think it advisable to poke the bear while he is having a carp. In fact don't poke a bear anytime.

John Ralph, suggesting that the 2 1/2 year prolonged investigation was way too long. The public will be on Essendons side this time. Ralphy, It wasn't ASADA that caused the delays, it was little and Hird making their frivolous appeals. That cheating lot will now get their come uppence. As I have been saying for 2 1/2 years "Guilty as Charged"

You didn't edit the spelling TSFKA

Unbelievable that Vandenberg is down at 15 votes. He should be up with Viney considering how many games Viney has missed.

The pressure is a necessity. We did it once against the toiges. Since then Freo and the swans have shown us what real pressure is. When we train why don't we train with intense pressure? Are we afraid of getting injuries? We can't train bruise free and expect to play any different. How you train is how you play. We need more hard players, we lack that grunt, and the big bodies. Van den berg is the hardest body in our side. Petracca next year will add to that. Riley is hard and need him in and under against the Hawks. Brayshaw Is hard and fearless. Viney ditto. Jones ditto. You can see what types we are trying to get on board. Then you get Toumpas, Watts and starts to fall apart.

We need footballers with a brain. The DH's we have you would think they have never played football in their life. So give me another 5 players that can jump, mark, kick both feet, run fast. Hit targets with foot and either hand. All of this to be done under pressure. They must also be able to tackle. Also have a bit of mongrel. That should give us the nucleus of a good team. Am I asking too much.

We played as we train. No pressure on the ball carrier, whether that be defence or attack. Sydney rag dolled us all night. They train to do that, we don't.

Give a go Rusty, we have been on double rebounds for 5 years.It never bothered anyone before.

Cross may go because of age. Depending on who gets recruited in the off season. Viney is still developing and has so much upside. Jones is safe, just signed a multi year contract 3 x B&F and first year solo captain.

Roos and Co have brought in 22 new faces since being appointed. The ones left that weren't a part of his regime are Mckenzie, Grimes, Jamar,Trengove, Gawn, Spencer. Toumpas, Watts. All these are being given last chances. Cross may go seasons end, although I hope not. Viney is safe. Jones is safe. He signed Watts on with the promise to him he would give him every opportunity to develop, the development has gone as far as it can go. He has to shape up or ship out. The backline is safe. I think this year is the final major clean out. He will give the VFL seniors one more chance to prove their worth, then it's Sayonara. Don't be surprised to see more changes in the coming weeks.

It's a team game. If a few guys are down on the day, it affects a lot of others up the ground. Last week was a great team game, this week was a game of individuals. Our midfield was murdered by the best I have seen this year. But the standouts to go for me are McKenzie ( kicking hasn't improved) Grimes (kicking hasn't improved) Watts (game hasn't improved) In Dawes, Jetta if fit, Riley.

I'll take that at this time of our journey.. I'd be [censored] off if it happened in the GF.

Sylvia was one guy who demanded respect, but never was prepared to earn it. I remember his first game after his year of OP. Standing at CHF and stamping his foot like a kid that hadn't got the present he thought he was getting. All because the ball wasn't kicked to him. Self centred selfish Brat.

After a great season last year, he is now being targeted by the opposition.He was great in and under, but now I think maybe the time to spend a bit more time outside. Bring in Riley to do the hard stuff at the bottom of the packs. He didn't get the name PIG DOG for nothing.

Watts is safe for this week. I can't believe I'm saying this. Probably because the cheer squad has started the Banner. "Watts 100 average games"

The best team win I have seen for many years. I couldn't pick one player who didn't play his role. They game plan Roosie and his team put in place was perfect. It really showed up the toiges for what they are, a bunch of outside soft c&$ks.

My opinion your opinion.As for the other incident I only watched the 2nd half.

That is the incident, I looked at it several times. The fumble was only because he took his eye off the ball because the forth coming high tackle.

Last quarter. And no. I wasn't one of the clowns. Jetta is one of my fav. players. But when you duck like he did today, sorry he must pay the penalty.

out : Frost, Jetta ( ducking to avoid conflict cost us a goal) Kent In : Gawn, Grimes & Michie. Assuming the casey form is much the same as last week.

If he has done an excel or other type of file on his computer, why hasn't there been a forensic investigation of his hard drive?

If jamar has to compete against a ruckman who can jump....... Then dump him..... White Russian can't jump. Ditto for Gawn, with so much height, his knee must still be giving him problems. Pencil can jump. So play him.
