Off topic but on the subject of reviews the IPL is now allowing a review of wides. Madness. Some of the reviews from this weekend were madness

I'll be happy with 1-1 and then a win over Brisbane. Going 0-3 is my nightmare

This tactic could easily be eliminated by a post match review. If found to be a persistent tactic a fine against the team escalating gradually to points reduction. The commentators live in a "tough blokey" bygone world. Like faking it in soccer time to deal with these issues.

As was pointed out on the Casey thread, Add in Brayshaw and Smith and we now have 12 players on the injured list. It's getting tough

I believe it's from the Gippsland League

If that's right I'd be thinking 4-6 weeks and possibly post mid season bye

9 players on the injured list (not counting Lever and May) But then again Hawthorn had 8 injured on their list

The two players who probably had the most to play for were Fullarton and Tomlinson. Neither did well but Tomlinson was passable. Fullarton... I'll give him a few more weeks Does the VFL play next week or is it a bye

O Tomlinson Are we seeing the gentle closing of the window

Lose to Coburg who went 0-18 last year and you kind of know we weren't going well

The continual dump kicks out of our defensive 50 are amusing

A painful watch Need to apply a lot of optimism to find a promising player

We're six odd AFL players down due to injury which is relevant and we have little up forward.

Was thinking Casey might have a downer this year but it could be a big one

More like 3,000 years old. First with Greeks and the Romans perfected it. The Persians were more the long sword guys. Perhaps we could take a pointer from Cromwell and his long pikes

Post above suggests new guidelines. Pre pandemic dogs were very welcome. I can recall Neville Jetta and his family having a lovely little dog at Coburg. Went to Box Hill immediately post pandemic and certainly lots of dogs... all well behaved

Tomlinson on Dixon I assume and the following week on Walker. After the bye on Daniher Tough ask perhaps

As you say let's see what tomorrow brings but Fullarton is a long way from the proven player that Tomlinson is. You also have to ask will TMac and BBB be able to deal with a five day turn around. Could Lever make it back for the second SA game. Lots of unknowns

A very good team effort against an opponent that played a very old style gameplan. The Lever interview was perhaps a little worrying in that it sounded like he's resigned to missing a couple of weeks but he's glad it's not more. We have some gorilla forwards coming up in the next few weeks so Petty may be spending some time down back. Great to see Fritsch with a bag and two goals by Chandler at key times

bad luck BBB very close

Fritsch having a well deserved day out. Chandler with two key goals. Some good take aways from this game

Good few goals but those injuries could trouble us over the next few weeks

With the Hawks low score this could be a good percentage game if we can get some flow going

Went from way ahead on most stats at quarter time to near even. Lucky that the Hawks couldn't put any scoreboard pressure on. Need a better third quarter

That got ugly quickly
