I am happy with that. That purple guernsey was a bit cringeworthy to be honest If we have to have a special occasion guernsey for any reason - just make sure it's at least blue & white

Within limits, yes. He will never be a Cunnington or a Ziebell in that regard. But he can learn to go when it's his turn to go. And when his body is more AFL ready, and he's more confident at the level, this won't be as noticeable. Boomer wasn't particularly hard at it. But he wasn't soft...

I don't think that's the game for dropping him. At worst, make him sub

He hasn't been good, but he has had some good moments. For a player of his talent, putting games into him is vital. And any day it can click for him. Either way, he still does some nice things every week. But at times has poor decision making, such as a forward handball to a stationery target...

Yes, in fact we are probably considering adding RHJ to the lineup for this very reason. He's a poor man's McKercher.

Yeah, both RHJ and Teakle trained with the seniors. Who knows what the plan is. Could just be matchday emergencies or a couple of changes in the works

I think Simmo would be a great strategy analyst or an opposition analyst, if he wanted to get back to clubland but without the stress of senior coaching

So we know that in addition to those who played last week, RHJ and Teakle trained with the seniors. What does that mean? Are we resting Darling perhaps? Or will Teakle come in as an extra tall?

I saw him warming up - no glove. But that's not to say he hasn't put it on later

Well, all I can say is he didn't train with the seconds. Notable others who did were Ford, Maley, Harvey, Bergman, Goad, Payne, both Dawsons, Urquhart and as I mentioned Phillips and Scott.

I took one of my sons to see the Captains Run this morning. We could only stay for about 40 minutes before I had to get back to work, so saw the "seconds" train, and then when the seniors were meant to run out we left. But judging by who trained with the seconds, I can tell that neither Phillips...

I think being ranked 15th, means only 3 teams are turning it over more. I think you've misread it

I never said he won't play. I just said that Harry said to Dwayne Russell something like "would be great to have George in the side in the next week or two." So I read between the lines. But it could have been just a throwaway line or a bluff

Or play him and sub him out midway through the third

Sounds like Wardlaw will play VFL again... To be honest, I don't get this. If he needs another week off, that would make sense. But why waste him in the VFL where he'll play with the same intensity anyway?

Going by Harry's chat to Dwayne Russell on SEN, I'd say that Wardlaw won't play this week.

I thought it was from all cultural backgrounds. This is an absolute joke. How is Iraq part of the NGA and Brazil isn't? What is the difference from the AFL point of view? Or does a player himself need to be born overseas?

Well, the last three weeks he has been largely ineffective

Yes the difference between his best and worst is stark. He needs to get to the stage where his quiet game is around 18-20 disposals. But at his age one has to wonder, if it hasn't happened by now, will it ever happen? I wouldn't be against trading him if the right deal came along, but...

From my North bias viewpoint, the umpiring over the last few seasons (this year included) has been absolutely atrocious. Not only regarding pedantic crap that's not in the spirit of the game (when all that the footy public wants is the same standard that seems to be applied in the Grand Final)...

There are a couple on our list right now, wearing number 29 and number 15 on their back just by way of an example

Carlton's problem is mainly around ball movement, which (deliberately or not) is designed to be safe and to protect turnovers in key areas. As a result, despite their dominant work around the contest hasn't resulted in high scoring, and in the second halves of games they have been over run by a...

Or he simply has to be really good at what he's good at

Unfortunately due to the "other" shoulder issue he copped in the intra club, this year was always going to be a bit of a struggle for Zane, but I understand the logic in not doing the reco straight away, which would have effectively ended his season. He can still continue to develop and be...

Our training environment seems like the most treacherous place to be. Hardly any injuries during games, but injuries galore during training and internal match sim. Wardlaw, Goater, Archer, Whitlock...

The three who can win it out of the middle and either let LDU run it out or handball it to the outside.

Not sure about your positional changes, I'd start with Simpkin, LDU and Wardlaw in the middle.

To be fair, McKay hasn't been there for most of their games and Kemp is just average. Yet they have looked ok in every single game, but faded late. In fact they have won all 5 first halves so far this season. Should be a very tough and even first half. After half time all their opponents...

We are so used to baracking for the underdog, I'll be supporting the pink team

Reasonable thoughts there. And while we are at it, we should probably once again ask the question why is the bloke who built this shit list, is still here.
