Obviously this Geelong supporter still hasn't gotten over 92 & 94...

Except he's a pies supporter

How much longer can gay marriage be debated?

 

[Mickey Rae]

Saw it in their feed. "Will is perfectly entitled to his opinion" was the straight-bat response.

Unfortunately the peanut in question is also entitled to his opinion.

True .... everyone is entitled to their opinion. That is why this issue should be decided by a plebiscite.

Can we have one on welfare changes too? University funding too? And the removal of the temporary budget repair levy?

Off topic but I like the idea of plebacites

Eh we have a representitive Democracy for a reason. The average person does not have the time to be fully updated on every piece of legislation that gets tabled.

The system breaks down when representitives vote not according to their electorates wishes but along party lines and their electorate does not hold them accountable.

We don't need plebicities we need concience votes as standard not just special occasions.

Also ban political parties.

Only if you don't reside in Brisbane......

Fortunately I'm significantly south of there.

By now we all probably know about Naitanuis progress but according to the clubs snapchat Jake Waterman is back at training too.

 

[Bacchus]

Good that Watson is only listed as two. Have some hopes for him, might turn into a line breaker that we need.

 

[Miguel Sanchez]

The good news is Watson and Lycett are both down to 2 weeks. And Waterman is now "late 2017", same as NicNat.

The bad news is Mellen is out 5-6 weeks with a foot

 

[Bleedblueandgold]

WTF Mallen out for 5-6 weeks???
Thought he'd be back in 2 weeks by EP's next game...

 

[06Premiers]

May 23, 2017 (expected return to play)

Wellingham (ankle) 1-2 weeks
Lycett (shoulder) 2 weeks
Watson* (ankle) 2 weeks
Tunbridge* (knee) 5 weeks
Allen (foot) 5-6 weeks
Naitanui (knee) Late 2017 season
Waterman (foot) Late 2017 season

*Rookie-listed player

In the video Vozzo says they expect Watson and Lycett to play done minutes at EP next weekend (the same round as our Gold Coast game) so that's encouraging

Both teams have a bye the week after that which is annoying because they don't get any continuity in their return by missing a week after their first game back

Even worse for Willie since there's a WAFL bye this weekend - game, bye, game, bye, game starting from last weekend

The fixturing sure does suck, which is a huge downside of the alignment. I remember a few examples years ago of us & the purples getting special clearance for some players to play in other teams reserves games to build up match fitness.

In Willie's case, I don't see it as too much of a big deal as he is naturally gifted football-wise, just needs to work on general fitness and can do this outside of games.

 

[the harry]

Watson would be in the 22 this week if fit. So disappointing but good that he's getting close to WAFL game time.

you are entitled to your opinion but without a plebiscite on it we don't care for personal opinions

PS we should have one on injuries

Eaglemaniac should see if they can get a gig at our club to build their fitness haha.

 

[RookiePick]

Looks like they missed the cast on Partington?

There was a brief snippet of training footage on CH9 news of players running the boundary. Parto was one of the players in the frame with no sign of a cast

 

[RookiePick]

Indeed. At least Haggers still looks like a tit for pushing Ballantyne as an in for them this week.

Greeny would get mad if they stole any of his ten goals a game.

 

[Avalor]

It was great seeing Nik Nat out on the training track, joshing about with the balls and doing some ball work. He is carrying some pud though, and will need some serious miles in his legs to get rid of it. Still, I am hopeful, he can get a few games in later.

 

[Bleedblueandgold]

Don't think we should risk NN at all this year, unless he is 100% in terms of fitness and ability (e.g. able to jump normally).
