Played a great game against Geelong, and still offers something to our side.

Agreed. For a bloke that all know is in his last season, he is producing in our time of need. Tim is going out in the way he would be proud of - as a true club man. This has been the story of his career. From "best bench player in the game" during our premiership years, to jack of all trades in latter years, whatever the team has needed he has put his hand up for.
Even when dropped he has put his nose down and fought his way back - prepared himself so to be able to produce if required. In all he has done he has set a great example to our younger players.
I am so happy Tim has got to 200 games - a terrific achievement. And I am so glad for the pleasure he has given over the years. And I know he will do all he can for the team as long as he is with us.
A great club man. Sorry if this sounds like an obituary, but I genuinely admire the man for the way he has conducted himself.
Dual premiership player Tim Notting said the last third of the home-and-away season always presented physical and mental hurdles for younger players.
"This stage of the season is always a real grind," Notting, 30, said.
"It is an important time when you can set yourself up for a decent crack at the finals."
He said he was desperate to be a part of Brisbane's finals push as well as prove his worth for another season.
"A lot will depend on how I finish the season, where the list is at and what the club wants to do," he said.
"If we are on the same wavelength then hopefully I'd play on but, if not, that will be it.
"Hopefully my experience will be an asset as well in the later stages of the season."
BRISBANE utility Tim Notting is likely to miss the Lions’ clash with Collingwood on Saturday after the AFL’s match review panel offered him a one-match suspension for striking North Melbourne’s Scott Thompson.
The panel deemed the first-quarter incident as intentional, low impact and high contact drawing 225 demerit points and a two-match sanction. An early guilty plea cuts the penalty 25 per cent to 168.75 points and a one-match ban.
Just reported, one match ban for Poss for striking Scott Thompson, downgraded from two match if accept early plea...couldn't come at a worse time in his career. I haven't minded his last games since he came back into the side, adds a bit of versatility, that we lack. Silly boy!
If ever the scene was set for a man to go out with a bang, this id it. One thing for sure, Possum will give it every thing he has got, and then some.
