Sorry, that may have read wrong. I agreed with what you wrote. I didn’t mean to imply you thought that, it was simply an extension of the narrative. Right spot, right time but struggles to influence.

Tried to impact the game with numerous tackles but ball carrier still easily able to offload. Cant fault his endeavour.

Who’s house? Our house. ?

Would love AVB out there tackling with intensity and tackling to hurt.

They did release that video.

Eagles won flag without Nik Nat and Gaff, let’s see how the Tigers go.

Apologies, not trying build suspense, more so just massive hours at work and last nights game put me to sleep. A lot of people wouldn’t agree with his stance, he didn’t miss Hogan at all. - Asked for someone to explain to him how someone can just drink/use drugs to excess than hide behind the guise of mental health. - Why is it that when this happens the club releases a statement to the effect of “we need to get around this player and care for him” rather that telling the player that he stuffed up and made the wrong decisions. - No accountability from anymore. There was more but that was the gist, obviously he did mention that anxiety wasn’t an issue when he was playing. I heard it on Sports Tonight on Wednesday, they were replaying an interview between Blight and I think Wheatley. I know many won’t agree but I did with a lot of what he said.

Anyone else hear Malcolm Blights take on this?

One site pulled it another put it back up.

I’m a Sydney based Redleg 11 home game member. I just bought my tickets for Queens Birthday. All that was left was Level 1 goals punt rd end (which I got) and Level 1 wing, then level 4 in the bleachers.

How does citing mental health issues enable a player to bypass a drug test? Why did the players ever agree to hair testing, was it tied into the EBA? cheers

Is it just me or wasn’t there a better photo of him from front on?

John Candy. Who’s Harry Crumb (1989).

Poor form rjay, no ones trying to justify anything, merely point out what is obvious to some. Clearly Curnow has talent but the main objective of a key forward is to kick goals. Curnow like Hogan struggles at times with easy set shots.

I thought the whole idea behind bringing May in was to play on the Josh Kennedy types. But if Kennedy lines up in the goal square then Oscar would play on him? That to me makes no sense.

This is like Hogan all over again, lots of talent but can struggle with his set shots on goal. I wouldn’t know what his stats are but we all had plenty of opportunities to watch Carlton last season and from what I saw he missed a few that were 30-35 metres out with little angle.

Curnow’s accuracy is a concern.

Well if that’s the case Oscar definitely misses out then.

First choice to play on a Josh Kennedy or similar would be May. First choice playing on a Franklin or similar would be Frost. To me Lever and Frost bring something different where as May and Oscar are similar. Unless Oscar was so far ahead of Frost talent wise I’m not sure why we would play him. A back six of Jetta May Lever Hibberd Frost Salem offers us so much not only defensively but also setting up play coming out of our back 50.

Totally agree, I like Oscar and think he is developing nicely but after watching both of their output in the last 6-7 weeks I’d take Frost. I think he offers more because of his versatility.

Good to see just about everyone has jumped off Frost again.

Part of being a leader is knowing not only when it’s your time to lead but when it’s your time to step aside. I can’t see the club making a change for next season but it has to be Jones last in an official leadership role. You don’t go from captain back to vice captain, if anything you from captain to purely playing and being there as a mentor to your successor. For me this situation feels weird because pre Roos, Jones was a rock in our team, he always led the way even though he wasn’t our most talented player, we were getting flogged every week and was overlooked for Grimes/Trengove. Over the last couple of seasons he seems to go missing in the big games. I hope this time next year we don’t have another Grimes debacle all over again.

Think Jack Grimes.

Who’s their forward option? Peter Wright Mids Martin, Swallow, Miller Defender I honestly can’t name a Suns defender right now. It’s been a long hot day in Sydney and I’m drawing a blank. They got pummeled in the last few week of the season, no doubt a few players had already checked out but they are effectively a mess. Bolton and Richardson need to perform next season or they’re gone, they would be viewing the Suns not only a guaranteed win but a percentage booster as well.

The bottom six last year were : Bulldogs, Freo, Lions, Saints, Carlton and the Suns. Last season they somehow upset Sydney in Sydney, I can’t see that happening again. All but the Bulldogs have signed experienced player/s. Bulldogs have a better list anyway. Suns have lost Lynch, May and Lyons. Suns first 4 games : Saints away Freo home Bulldogs away Carlton home Catlton is their best chance and I can’t see them beating them. There’s also the cash out option should the losses start to stack up but I think I’ll just let it run.
