Zero F50 tackles last week. I'll think we'll have less this week.

Yeah this bloke has been assessed by 2 separate S & C teams and no one can seem to find an answer. I was thinking put him out of his misery but your idea sounds better especially if the rookie lists get expanded next year.

Ah Elliot. Just gave him the 3 year contract he wanted didn't we?

This is now a genuine worry. We invested a 1st rounder in this kid. A pre draft medical may have revealed issues with his feet but apparently clubs aren't allowed to do that because?????

We all McGovern's history with ribs. Assume "season". Agree that It'll be good to give HEdwards a run. We'll know by the end of the season whether he's worth keeping.

MOAR talls! Actually, the obvious interpretation is that HEdwards is on standby for Gov and similarly Hutch for Waterman. Or the MC is trolling us.

Yep never played us at home since Optus opened. On the flip side I think this season will be the first year we haven't played them in Brisbane over the same time period.

About a month ago I heard him on radio saying he was keen to go on next year. I think he's now at the stage where he gets "managed" for occasional away games.

I can only assume Kelly either hasn't fully recovered from injuries or re-aggravated one during the game. Nothing else could excuse that performance. Did not notice him until Hawthorn were 6-7 goals infront.

The concern is Flynn hasn't played a game with Kelly and only 1 with Reid. Dare I say it a lack of synergy.

Not exaggerating it would have to be close to double figure soft tissue injuries since he arrived at the club. When we have good availability he falls back to just being a fringe player anyway. This probably means Jones holds his spot and Maric the unlucky one to miss out.

I've been at Optus on a non-match day, late April this year and they were using very similar lights on the ground. Its obviously achieved SFA.

A few years ago when our record at AO was excellent, Cripps was interviewed after the final siren in game we'd won and he'd kicked 5; "You guys seem to enjoy it over here and you played a great game" Without missing a beat Cripps says "best surface in the country". The implication being he...

I've seen one suggestion that the WA clubs have "mini hubs" in Melbourne for a few weeks at a time to reduce overall travel so you're actually not that far off the mark.

The far slower pace and intensity compared to AFL makes it less likely.

Yeo has to play a minimum 18 games a year for at least the first 2 years of this reported contract extension to justify it. Given he hasn't managed that since 2019 and is now the wrong side of 30 I ain't holding my breath.

You can hardly blame the club for being cautious, Yeo was available for less than 50% of our games from 2020-23. Or to put it another way in 4 completed seasons he managed less than 2 all while collecting big coin. It seems like Pyke has had a look at how we've been burnt on contracts to injury...

Take this with however many grains of salt that you wish. Bloke on YouTube "True Eagle" says that he was recently contacted by someone close to the club (before the game last week) who said we were varying our training loads and was convinced we'd lose to Norf but also equally convinced we'd...

Ok point taken. That indeed sounds more promising but I'm still not convinced we'd be rushing in a 1 game Beagle forward if we were really confident Waterman was fit for Saturday. Hopefully my fears are unfounded.

Good decision. Far too early to make a judgement call now, though some nuffies have tried but it give it another 2.5 seasons from now and we'll know if he's going to make it or not.

Great news for the young(ish) fella and I hope he goes well but it does seem a strange selection. I don't think one game with Beagles playing with a leg rope to the goal post is going to immediately translate to our senior team. Unless of course (and here comes my cynical nature) the club are...

Yeah Yeo. Thursday selection "Yeoy didn't quite get up this week". Saturday morning "Waterman needs surgery".

That's the odour I'm smelling. Norf go 0-23 or even 1-22 and inevitably more people start asking "why are this mob still in our competition?" Mumma Kane doesn't want to face those type of questions. With regards to the AFL I'm starting to think the club needs less of the softly,softly tinker at...

I hope we at least gave them business class seats.

Looks like it. A team going through a season winless would be pretty embarrassing in their "equalised" competition.

Should never be losing that game once King is forced off. What an opportunity missed. What a backward step from just 2 weeks ago. The selection of Sheed AND Gaff could only ever be justified with the 4 points. It didn't happen and Simpson has to wear it. Sick of getting in front of St Kilda...

If Ryan was at peak fitness he could play as a small FF. He's done it before. But these days he's just a shell of that player we once knew. Guess its hope the land of the giants forward line can hold their marks. Woosha would love it. Predictable but still incredibly frustrating that Trew...

The "surprise" injuries are back baby! 3 since the official list on Tuesday. Fully expect 1 or 2 more before bouncedown.
