doesn't get the 50 metre penalty back at a crucial part of the game. Pannell a poor decision maker. certainly a good argument for not introducing red cards.

I don't think we will see Jack Viney tagging players this year. I would suggest he will be the one that will get tagged from now on!

My view on this tackle. Oliver grabbed him by body. His arms were clear and he turned and handballed. Oliver followed him with the tackle making it appear more like a dangerous sling tackle. This young fellow playing his first game . The Port player was not hurt. I believe the MRP are overreacting here. a caution on this occasion would have been more common sense. I thought dangerous tackles were when you pinned their arms and slung them.

Brisbane also had an inflated salary cap that allowed them to retain all their depth players.

Ollie Wines is a great player. don't forget that all clubs rated Toupas highly. If GWS had selected Toupas then I am sure we would have considered Ollie. Even after we picked Jimmie a lot of clubs overlooked Ollie before Port took him at 9. the draft is not easy a lot of guns were taken late in the draft. Nat Jones 12, Mcdonald around 50 and so on. Hird taken at around 70. lets not give up on Toupas. He will be ok. but gee Ollie looks brilliant. Love to see him in a Dees Jumper - mayber in the future, we can only hope!

we are all talking about Cloke. what about tippett? the media is saying he may go to brisbane or goldcoast or stay at adelaide. why not us. clarke was going to fremantle, but we changed his mind.

Obviously Col has mucked up again. But I can not understand why we suspend him. This only penalises the team and us the supporters. yes fine him $5000 and his match payment for round 1. but for petes sake make him play. hopefully missing out on playing for Australia and all the media crap will be penalty enough. the herald sun calls for blood and we fall for it. punish Col by all means but dont punish the team or us the poor long suffering supporters.
