    recidivist and did it in a bad week in which to elect to bump not tackle

    the worst one I've ever seen is neal-bullen's suspension for a sling tackle - where he let go of the crom dude and his head clunked the ground due to the whipping motion; there was no sling

    from memory, anb got three in a 17 game season; we appealed and it got EXTENDED to 4

    disgraceful

    almost as bad as when trengove copped 3 for dangerfield being a wuss, going down like he'd been broken in half, and being perfectly fine the next week when he dominated and booted 6

    Didn't Brad Miller (or was it Brent Moloney?) get done for almost bumping someone. Something about he just missed but the action was suspended. That one has always been high on my ridiculous meter.

    Goodies MOST COSTLY Mistake in coaching was that call which IMV Totally cost us a tilt at the G.F, but that was last year. Let's see if anything changes this year which it should. I'll still maintain that T MAC is cooked. They are now trying him up back, which is about as useful as playing Ravishing Rick Flair's double for all I care, but IMV he is cooked.

    I usually get your references PF, but 'Ravishing Rick Flair's double' has me stumped.

    I’ll stand corrected on McEvoy but certainly a bit of a wasted pick for the Saints, traded him off for a pick in the teens and Shane Savage.

    However I think it backs up my point, and whilst drafting in hindsight is easy Saints could have taken Mumford who went as a rookie and any of the players left on the table in place of McEvoy, namely

    Dangerfield, Cyril Rioli, Robbie Tarrant, Alex Rance, Easton Wood, Scott Thompson (would have been handy in the 09/10 backline), Callan Ward or Cale Hooker

    Nothing to do with your argument,  but I have vague recollections of the Saints hoping McEvoy would become a forward.

    Learn from other clubs over a sustained period and ourselves with Gawn and Jamar, none of Nankervis, Cameron, Pyke, Bliczavs, Jordan Roughead, Dean Cox, Jolly or McEvoy were high draft picks. Most are either late, rookie or cheap trade pick ups

    Wasn't McEvoy a top ten pick?

    Highly doubt so. 

    Harmes has a some making up to do as he turned up in poor shape day 1 of the Dogs pre season which Bevo and the coaching staff were simply not happy about.

    He'll certainly play games, but it certainly won't be every week in the AFL.

    I didn't hear about that. Perhaps loosing the passion?

    So, extending the "New Hope" theme I can imagine the following:

    Obi-Wan Kenobi - Peter Jackson

    Luke Skywalker - Paul Roos

    Chewbacca - Max Gawn (but only if he had his beard by then?)

    Darth Vader - I'm loath to say Mark Neeld as I think he was on our side, even if he wasn't a success.  

    Han Solo???? 

    Who else???

    I would have considered Neeld more of an Admiral Ozzel.

    Just a little more...

    If you use the AFL club package to renew you will get the Basic package ie 4K.. two screens for 12 months.

    How long this continues will be interesting but if it's anything like the deal they did for Telstra customers I'd expect it to run for 2024. Then it will increase in price in 2025.

    I went from the Telstra deal to the club membership when the price rose. Very happy with the digital membership option, hope it continues to be a great deal.
