That we will never know...

So late to the party on this thread Tim...sorry. I know you've been battling over the last few years but hadn't seen this. Just wish you all the best mate, it's an incredible fight and to see it documented like this is quite special. Your resilience is inspiring. I'm looking forward to seeing some video and pix from your August gig.

An old friend of mine used to work in a bar in London. He had a regular that he knew as Peter from the roads (worked with the road repair crew)...His boss said one day, do you know who Peter is...that's Peter Green. It's sad what happened to him and he never got his due recognition outside of rusted on old music fans & musicians like ourselves.

The extraordinary Lisa Fischer...a truly remarkable artist.

The only difference is that Nibbs was getting a lot of ball in the 2's... Kolt needs to play mid at Casey and start racking up the numbers.

He's not at Weids level 'picket'...

Not sure 'MurDoc'...

Durham & Merrett... A good run with injury is what they don't have.

Just a quick question. Have you ever seen an umpire go forward after a ball up/throw up?

I'm not a fan of EFC but I think I'm less a fan of Hardwick. Whilst he's at GCS I hope they go nowhere fast...

Memory is not great 'Macca' but I think Goody was a bit more than a nuts and bolts footballer, nice left footer...

Graham Wright

I'm not so sure... They have a very savvy football person taking over the reigns soon. Will be an interesting watch.

I think we should keep it as a base for our dog walking club after we leave.

I'm an Ed fan but it's going to be interesting watching him get off this one. King was blaming LDU for going low in the tackle. I thought you were supposed to go low & tackle around the waste. The fend off came as he was already going low & Ed saw it, just banged the elbow into his head. For mine that's a minimum 3 weeks.

Funnily enough we have a few Premiership players on the list who are good leaders. Just don't need to trade them out. We don't need to bring in old players from other clubs now unless Pendles felt like an extra year.

If he's anywhere near these players then that would be good...but that's a very high bar, particularly McCluggage who I rate as top tier in the AFL.

You need to take into account reasons where they exist. I'm not convinced by him yet but will cut him some slack.. Certainly not 5 years of cobbled together games. By next season we would want to really see something from him.

Have to agree...I heard Cooney talk about this the other day. Said a young player missing a preseason has a huge effect on their season. He said older players can get away with it to an extent because they have banked multiple preseasons & a larger workload over their careers. It actually makes Lindsay's first season quite remarkable.

Sometimes it's about longer term development. Time in defence didn't/doesn't hurt him. Took some nice grabs down back, one would be in the running for mark of the year a few weeks back. Has to be good for his confidence. Forget about a senior debut this year, let him get a full preseason under his belt first.

Watched a bit of it 'Red' and nothing to inspire...

It was certainly a big part of it but not the only issue...

I think you're looking at the wrong bloke...

...and it's the Boards job to oversee and where necessary take action to sort these problems out. A caretaker President & CEO are not in a position to do anything.

An absolute shocker 'Dub'...there's no way in the world that shouldn't have been called. Yet somehow 4 umpires couldn't make it.
