McKay if you are comparing him to his last 2 years. Also Gov before he got injured. Walsh showing signs although it's only 2 games. TDK showing he can hold down no.1 ruck spot.

If you want to do well in this game its less about making bold calls and taking big risks and more about consistently making sensible decisions. Might not work out all the time but over the season you will end up ahead. The risk of keeping Kerch with that 4 (or whatever is was) in his system...

It'll be interesting what happens if he, Martin and to a less extent Cunners (given he has only missed a few weeks so far) come good at the backend of the season again. Its saved Marchbank and Cunningham the last 2 years. If their seasons happened the other way around (played early then...

Plus S Durdin has disappeared off the fact of the earth. Does the club hope we forgot about him?

That update is just embarrasing. Motlop redone hamstring. Going to end up missing 12 weeks with a stubbed toe. Now Marchy has a transverse fracture (no idea what that is but never mentioned before) . I think we just need to put a line through him no matter what happens now. Non committal...

Yeah, I agree. Feel our system looks a lot more solid this year. Moving the ball much better and look the more dangerous team even when not dominating the game. The fact our victories (and one loss) have been so narrow is more down to oppopsition (Brisbane & Freo) and not taking advantage of our...

That was Cerra. Missed a week through tightness then came back and strained it.

Yeah, I'm not sure about that. Nothing wrong with everything you have written in isolation but using that logic you could explain away almost anything. Going by what's been posted on this forum the strength and conditioning team have no accountability if it's a contact injury. Thats just luck...

This is the issue with the conservative approach taken with some of these injury prone guys. They already get injured all the time but because of their history we need to ease them back. So now a regulation hamstring for Martin means 6-8 weeks while it would be 2-3 for another player. It's not...

I guess the thing you could say with Butters is both players arrived at the same time. It was incidental that his hip made contact with the other player. Crouch on the other hand was 2nd to the ball so had a duty of care to Carroll who already had his head over the ball

Looks like no brownlow for butters

Clark is a really disappointing player for a top 10 pick. Will probably still be a solid player but doubt he turns into the type of player you use that pick on.

Guaranteed at least 2030. Every point Harley Reid scores over 54 will be a bonus.

I'm shocked they still haven't tried Dawson at half back. Seems the obvious move. Feed him some easy ball and get him into form.

Not mentioned in this thread yet but you'd think Matt Crouch is almost definately gone for his bump on Jack Carroll. Feel for him as he was only marginally late but Carroll's head was over the ball. Crouch turns side on and collects him pretty hard. They will argue he was just contesting the...
