I guess it's the end of the traditional VFA clubs that are left. Port & Willie either pack up or do a Fitzroy and move on to another comp.

I think he is depth at best. I don't see Charlie getting a regular game if we are to be a Premiership contender. For now, I guess he gets a game.

This is a terrible game of footy. The consistent this season is that C/Wood have been in many terrible games. Their game plan and personnel keep throwing up rubbish games.

One of our problems is a lack of talent. I don't know if his issues are insurmountable but he does have talent.

...for a throw away pick in the 50's???

He's really not... Been tried there before in real games and it didn't work. 'Wise' spells it out pretty well here.

Thanks 'AF'... That was also what I meant to post and got sidetracked. I sure hope we get that news very soon...

Now that's the way to apologise, I hope they back it up with actions. At least they're not holding a royal commission like Eddie's mob.

If you watched some of the footy from Darwin the other night. Good old BT was pushing out some really condescending stuff about the fans that wasn't great to say the least. He's of my generation and I know he didn't mean it but at the same time so many just don't really get it. We've got a long, long way to go.

Funny to say for a first year player... ...but he has been a big loss. Just got our forward half into some type of shape then he goes down. Apart from anything else I really like watching him play. Look forward to watching him develop in 2021.

He had lost is as a defender and we had to try and find a spot forward for him. Started well in defence but then lost it. The same thing is happening to him now as a forward. It would be worth making the change during a game 'Biff', you have to try something. ...but as a permanent move, May has been too valuable as a defender.

I think we would be lucky to get that 'dazz'...Bruce is a similar type a year younger. "The Western Bulldogs have added to their key forward stocks by recruiting Josh Bruceto the kennel. The Dogs & Saints struggled to agree on Bruce's trade value over the past week, but the Saints eventually accepted picks 32 and 51 in return. The 27-year-old has been given a four year deal at the Dogs." We would probably be lucky to get a pic in the 50's for Tommy in exposed form now...

Probably better suited here... From my topic back in early 2019... I think he should have been dropped back then. Most, including our FD lived in hope. It was false hope.

Like' @binman' above, I had just read the article before catching this post. It's a very sad story indeed. The reaction from the VFL and local football bodies at the time was telling. They were not cast in a great light. Sports administrators often follow rather than lead the way. I expect to be reading about how the AFL turned a blind eye to the behaviour of certain club Presidents and the poor behaviour shown to Adam Goodes among others sometime down the track. We've certainly got a long way to go despite the current rhetoric.

Dimwit might be more apt.

His mouth obviously...

Back in the good old days you hit someone you got 4 weeks. If you kicked someone you got a hell of a lot more. Pretty simple system made complex. 4 weeks if you hit someone and I don't think you need to worry about it happening anymore... Of course it wasn't so easy to catch anyone back in those days so they had a payback system. You think Lynch would have done it if Collins could have had a shot back...I doubt it.

Lynch like Burgoyne and the sling tackle gets away with a fine. You can guarantee someone will be made an example of. If I was a low profile player (think ANB) I would be very careful in the current environment. The AFL are looking for you.

Interesting you have Tommy ahead of Luke....I certainly don't have Tommy in our best 22. He's been overtaken by Jackson & Weid this season. He's depth now and that's how he's being used.

They need to ditch the whole idea. Jealousy about a few players from Northern State academies gave us an unworkable system. We have a commission for a reason and they didn't stand up when they should have.

Also, to run against the grain here. I know he made a couple of mistakes but I thought Harmes was ok. He seems to be settling into the HB role in tandem with Salem. He's only a game or so off a real break out in the position.

A couple of things of note there. He's definitely going with the new AFL commentary buzz phrase 'creating width'. ...and we've been crying out for a good outside mid, and you couldn't get any more outside than that. On a more serious note, I love what he brings... The kid just doesn't stop running and you can see he enjoys his footy.

Looking at the game, watched a replay of it tonight. Dunn is done. Great effort to get back, depth now and gone at the end of the season. Has had a good career.

It showed in his first half...was on "media street". Tried to do way too much. ...but settled in the 2nd.
