BF goes into meltdown over concessions.
I think the GCS reckon they have 2016 pencilled in. Good thing it's in pencil!

Depending on how teh Saints backup that Freo performance the R21 clash against Melbourne at the MCG could decide the spoon.
NEAFL has had to rely on quite a few top ups recently. They might soon be needed for AFL level!
Bit surprised Dylan Shiel is still playing with his crook shoulder. The last couple of weeks he's looked really hampered by it and assuming he will require a surgery on it. Wonder if he will see the season out??
I would have thought they'd have queued him up very early for surgery if it was required. Maybe it is required, but only minor in nature and without a huge impact on preseason..i.e. Won't impact early preseason running.

The reason according to BigFooty: It's because we're trading him at the end of the year, so we aren't worried about interrupting his pre-season.

There is nothing I don't love about the way this club embraces people, staff, players, members, fans and public....
The injuries, coupled with Tom Scully's season-ending knee injury, have raised the prospect of fellow vice-captain Shaw leading the Giants out against his former Collingwood teammates this weekend.
Once guilty of some on and off-field indiscretions, Shaw says he never thought he would captain an AFL club, let alone against the Magpies.
But he is at least taking plenty of satisfaction from Sunday's victory.
"It was really exciting and really pleasing," he said.
"Obviously I've played in some big games, big finals and all that, and round one this year beating Sydney was one of the best wins I've been involved in.
"This one here, just the way things panned out and for such a young group to show the grit and determination they did … we had guys I hadn't heard much from during the year getting the boys together and having a word.
"It was great to see that leadership and confidence growing in this group."
And for a change some good news
