Makes sense, watching him play often gave me a headache.

We should probably retire you and all for safety’s sake

It might be an idea with the midseason draft coming up.

 

[Gysberts2Bate]

Whenever I think of James Strauss, I think of Jack Watts turning inside out and bombing a goal from 55.

Was that the same game? Christ. Two of the most sickening things I've ever seen on a footy field.

 

[Tempy Tiger]

No they didn't ... it was concussion, or injuries or something

Pretty smart play. Retire due to ‘concussion’ just before you get delisted. Golden parachute.

 

[rhaz]

Lol we could finish the round 17th if we lose by more than Gold Coast does.



E: ok nvm here come the doggies
E2: ok nvm dogs s**t the bed so I'm still right!!

Midseason Draft starts at 6.30pm. Looks like we'll have a free run at either Lowson or Hirst, with the experts expecting we'll take Lowson, regardless of him doing an injury on the weekend, which admittedly isn't thought to be too bad.

I hope we go for Hirst. Somehow doubt Lowson ends up fit enough to play a game this year (though definitely sounds like what we need on a short term basis), but this entire thing is a bottom of the barrel exercise and we might as well go for someone that's fit and has something in the way of upside, as a player that likely would have been drafted last year if not for injury. Dunkley probably plays for GC this year tbh, but don't think he's be what we need anyway.

Makes sense we'd draft him, our injury list needs moar numbers, even if it is a short stint

 

[stabler]

I also want hirst. A speedy player who barracks for the dees. Where do we sign.

Of course goody will probably try and subvert expectations and we take the injured guy with the munted hair

 

[TheCount]

Make that Kyle Dunkley instead ...

 

[Gysberts2Bate]

Huge, didn’t think Dunkley would get past pick 2.

Yeah, as much as a steal as you can get in this sort of draft, given he was being talked about as going number 1 until all the talk was Carlton taking Deluca, it's probably a pretty good get.

He's almost a little unlucky he's coming in now that we're getting a stack of players back, and not a few weeks back

 

[schmuttt]

Another inside mid?

 

[TheCount]

Another inside mid?

They did say he's been playing forward in the VFL of late ...

 

[stEdy]

Can't really get too excited, he's probably behind Maynard in our VFL team

8 years younger than Maynard. Actually has potential, even if it’s 1%. Maynard is getting a free ride

Maynard has been clogging the list for a while now

We need another 10 or so.

 

[Cannon82]

We need another 10 or so.

With Lewis and Jones on the verge of retirement, we actually need at least 12.

 

[blitznu]

Anybody see the team of outs we could put against 22 that played last week * i reckon itd belt the team on the weekend

12 it is.

Actually I would like it if we populate our entire list with in and under onballers and literally nobody else. Obviously we will win nothing but it will be amazing to see how badly the plan goes. I need a reason to watch Melbourne currently so car crash will do fine. How to turn a list with potential in the window and age bracket into a weekly farce. We’re halfway there so may as well charge at the cliff and jump

Unfortunately this is true. My mum is friends with Brad's mum.

Cardiac arrest and rushed to hospital but couldn't be saved. Very very sad.

Nothing in the news but then again you wouldn’t really expect something like that to make news.

Where did you see it? (Or who said what on Facebook)? Horribly sad for him and their kids if this is true.

God that is terrible.
