I'll be sad to see Smack go he always laid it all out on the table. Was never a superstar but you knew he was more than a role player when everything clicked he could be genuinely destructive on his own merit. Will always remember him as one of those blokes who really stepped it up and gave it...

Draper haha

Ooft. So glad he turned this around hahah

There was talk of starting to jam extra games into the schedule to get ahead of where the AFL wants to be. But with so mich uncertainty they are stuck going week to week almost and hopefully we will see things stretch out a little. Its just too bad most of these injuries we are getting have...

Someone has missed their depot.

As sad and reluctant I am go agree he really does appear to be the next cab off the rank... i love huss hes been a victorian stalwart for a long time but he is under pressure. Perhaps Stoinis will miss out the next match for KP but if Huss doesn't perform we have someone ready to go. Stoi is has...

Absolutely. As is Pattinson and Siddles ability to remain on the park and in doing so not be too fit that they achieve Australian selection. Rimm8ngton is good depth at this stage. They have Bravo which adds resiliency/flexibility to their attack

I'm struggling on at first 11 for the boxing day T20 derby. Wildly i might suggest: - Luke Wright - Rob Quiney - Kevin Pieterson - Glenn Maxwell - Marcus Stoinis - David Hussey - James Faulkner - Tom Triffit - Scott Boland - Adam Zampa - Michael Beer Or perhaps give Maxy or Stoinis the job...

So we have the late start on Boxing day. The local derby which i will be attending. How do we see our best 11 panning out Stars supporters? Despite losing Johnno Hastings which is a huge loss i think we can cover him. Especially as I will assume that the national selectors will overlook...

Tremain has gone from strength to strength. He's their best pace bowler after pattinson and siddle.

But in days gone by that far down the pitch they'd never give it out.

This run chasr way too interesting than it should be

Haha send off for Maxy. "Look at the scoreboard mate"

Exactly no way at all that he will be picked in the first XI Just means that the first three quicks will be Johnson, Starc and Hazelwood with next choice being Siddle. Which really, when you consider that we have just lost one of the best bowlers in the world having Starc/Hazelwood as the...

I don't care what anyone says. We get ****ed over by the umpires more often then any other team.

Freo aren't only winning this year. Lock em in for the next 5.

We looked so spent energy wise for a number of weeks in the first half im hoping its all part of the master plan. Risky but will hopefully will pay off as we peak rather than peter out coming into finals. Just to echo what a number of others have said

Is it cricket season yet? I just dont know what the deal is so much not like what we saw last year... Crameri not that big a loss surely

Umpires performing like they have all had strokes only seeing one side

Thats just damn ridiculous. One of the best ruckmen in the league? If you want to play just one ruck Tbell ahead of Ryder anyway but I think they are both versatile enough for a 2 ruck system.

Thats nice but post is useless without saying why.

Why stick to the tradition if we dont have the cattle? The batting order isnt concrete why behave as if its so? Need quick runs? Promote Watson to 3. The only thing holding you back is your mind. The aus team has shown they want one batsman attacking and one rotating the strike.

Game on a knives edge... need a wicket Stars.

Watson hasnt been dropped for form for a long time. Might do wonders for him to go back down to shield for a while, without needing to be injured to do so, and earn his way back in the side. At least theselectors have shown their preparedness to pick whomever thry believe is the man for the job...

Still would hold off resting them till after the Bye unless injury or suspension strikes

Ryder and Bellchambers will need to wait till Hille gets back before any thoughts of entertaining a rest. Maybe rounds 16/17 for a week each giving Hille the bulldogs and GWS.

Umpires gradually killing off high intensity contact by assuming high intensity = illegal. AFL rules panel clearly don't look at the effects of rules changes from a neurological conditioning perspective. Constantly making rules that outlaw contact but in turn create an incentive for the other...

I'm an OT (Occupational therapist) and work in community rehab in a large regional centre. I work with a lot of people young and old, returning from all kinds of hand, back, shoulder and arm injuries as well as brain injuries. Chronic pain another big one (of which the AFL population would...

A defensive unit of Carlisle, Hooker and Hurley would have a spread of attributes that may be the best chance of covering the void left by Fletcher. Hurley the last piece of the puzzle with Carlisle the stopper, Hooker second or third tall depending on match up and going third man up relative to...

Which I don't mind either -- Let's see if TRB go that way now that Gumby has a number of games under his belt (as they didn't last time all of Crameri, Hurley, Gumbleton and Ryder were all available).
