my perverse logic is founded in the context of redemption. He may just want to show us he can do it. Don't think it would work with any other club. At the very least we get a depth player and hell our depth isn't great

Jack ... Watts I mean. Could probably get him for peanuts and who knows what he might do for us.

If Garlett remains we are in trouble.It means we have no one and/or can recruit no one to fill the small forward role. Perhaps we are in trouble as we seem to be on most lines in our team.

Kelly is out of contract and has publicly stated he wants to go home. Cats know they will be screwed.

Doggies doing it relatively easy heading for the home turn. Time to get some solace by visiting the Crows and Port fan forums. Links anyone..please

Trac is in contract for next year. Cats cannot offer draft picks alone so it would take their first pick which is only 2 picks before our present second and a reasonable player. It all comes down to assessing whether 2019 form is the best we get out of him. I really have no idea on that score.

coach killer ?

so if Bulldogs win both Adelaide teams and Hawks miss. If Bulldogs lose Hawthorn replace the Bulldogs unless one of the Adelaide teams has a BIG percentage boost in which case they go in. Also if Bulldogs lose Essendon ends up seventh whereas if Bulldogs win Essendon end up eighth. Am I correct? Very appropriate that Bulldogs are playing on Mars Stadium Interesting that it's 12 games gets you in the eight... so not much different to most years where it's 13 guarantees a spot.

does anyone know the rules on colluding in the PSD. Assuming a deal can be done with GC and a money deal with Langdon it seems to be a no brainer. In the past I recall players saying I will only go to club X and it was frowned on. Perhaps different if Langdon merely said he wants to come to Melbourne (city) thus ruling out GC

Casey are out Box Hill by 14.... minutes to go

Season looking over for Casey About five minutes to go and Box Hill lead Collingwood by 8 points Wait on ... Pies kick a goal... back to two points

Collingwood

Box Hill hit the front by a point 13 mins into last quarter

Hawks and Pies exchange goals and it's still an 18 point lead to Collingwood in the VFL. 26 mins into third quarter PS 3/4 time Pies by 19 If Collingwood win Casey are in the finals

Collingwood 12 points up on Box Hill make that 18.... 12 mins into third quarter

have made that point often to my doggie supporting mates

Dogs won a premiership doing just that

like it as a bargaining tactic... an offer of 60% say of his trade value or we take him in the PSD. Time for our trade negotiators to deal hard as Freo and GC did with us last year. Our second round pick is quite high so I'd love to keep it or at least trade back into that round albeit with a lower pick

Pre bye I was looking forward to this game as an opportunity to emphatically prove that the pre-bye form of the team was an aberration. Please forgive my stupidity.

the revenge of the green top no doubt what instructions went out re the pitch but this sucks I think we will need a 400 lead lot of cricket in this game with the sun shining brightly

and all out for 67 now I'm scared what do Oz need to score in the second innings

yep very strange Was a nice high scoring game for a while and now...nothing

Great first hour for the Aussies. Would be nice to have England 5 for at lunch. PS and now 4 for .. yeahhhhh Must say Labuschagne reminds me of this golden oldie....

underwhelmed but perhaps he'll be decent in the caretaker role post bye next year. Yep MFCSS is my mantra Seriously though what benefit does a sacked coach bring to a dysfunctional playing group. He comes with no authority or credibility. It has echoes of Mc Cartney which didn't end well. Mind you he was pretty good at outcoaching Goodwin on so many occasions. Just shows really how shallow the professional pool is.

This round is big in the South Australian context. Could see the demise of one if not two coaches.
