Agree. If left unchecked, it wouldn't be long before most bench players started lining up to scream abuse. Admire his passion though.

This is Harmsey and @old55

Who's jumper are you snuggling up with tonight?

Yeah, I know. Just not keen on Jordon (the other realistic option) being the one to make way, but maybe Jordon to sub

In: Brown, Spargo, Hibbo Out: JVR (susp), Turner, Harmes Also if required in Schache, out Fritsch (managed) if required

In the next decade or so, we might have a lean year (like Richmond is having now). I don't want us to be shunted to Marvel in the unlikely event that we aren't winning. The G is our home this year, next, and forever.

I realise it's not imminent, but has he given much thought to life after footy and what he wants to do?

I thought that myself. The chin's bog standard. They should've called him Jaws

Chandler

6 Petracca 5 Oliver 4 Brayshaw 3 Slick Chandler 2 Grundy 1 Lingers

He works extra hard and his skills are a cut above! Slick!

I was hoping some of the old codgers would be managed this week with the short turnaround - May and Hibberd. Similarly, I hope the mids are rotated out of the centre a little more for Kozzie, JJ and Sparrow. Of course we won't take Norf lightly!

I'm sure it only set them back a few mil in consulting fees.

Total jerk. Jackson is an emerging super talent and Grundy is an all-Australian around the peak of his powers. Comparing the two as though on equal footing is ridiculous, although to be expected from Cornes the Clown

Not to labour the point but...................... why the [censored] are we STILL playing Geelong in Geelong?? Their reduced ground capacity because of yet another govt funded expansion (just GAGF) will see Dee fans get about 35 seats and a max crowd of 17K. Seriously WTF? It should be at Colonial or the G. I'll just have a bex and lie down for a sec. PS Adelaide's crowds are lame given how well they're doing.

I find it a bit yawny too but know next to nothing about him. It's odd they took sooooo long and looked soooo far and wide, only to pick him from under their noses.

Goody said he was still experiencing symptoms so wouldn't be considered this week.

Ok poor taste, but jeez I laughed at this - from 'The Luke Jackson Trade' on Big Footy: What Freo thought they got: What they got:

It's time for the Western Bulldogs to rocket back up the free-kick ladder. May the umpires miss every one of Libba's throws! C'mon doggies!

Not delayed concussion?

I wouldn't be surprised if Brayshaw became captain down the track. Maybe Lever, but not necessarily. This is just my observation and plenty will disagree, but I mostly see him (Lever) yelling at other players. He may be marshaling the backline or telling another player off, but I seem to only see or hear him yelling. If Lever stuffs up, other players will console him as they all do for each other. If any player around him stuffs up, he yells at them. In my book, yelling shouldn't be an autoresponse for a leader. Just not cuddly enough I'm afraid!

Furphy sponsors a number of clubs too

Fixed. There are a number of things that need fixing and I'm inclined to agree with Dee Spencer but if they're addressed, I don't have a problem with it: 1) The double-header was a fail and needs sorting 2) There should be a second bye if they're stretching it to 24 weeks. It's hard enough limping to the finals as it is. 3) Three years is too long. An extra year or two would have been enough before sending it to WA, TAS or NSW 4) I have no problem with the SA teams (or whatever state it might be) getting an extra home game - they travel more than enough as it is.
