[Kickett Punches Read]

I know that Pavlich has been inconvenienced with a knee injury since mid 2008.

I thought today that he looked proppy in his movements and barely ventured outside the 50.

Will the knee injury impact on his future career ?

no, pavlich is fine, he just gets r*ped by the fact that the only player skillful enough to get the ball to him is himself.... he was our most dangerous forward yesterday. people bag him but i think he gets a rough deal, considering he is the only thing keeping us in our games. his knee will be fine, his team is not

Just watching the game now.
Into the 3rd. when Ryder gets to do his boot laces up just before he kicks a goal.

I'm sure I saw Duffield scratching his head.

I have never seen an umpire refuse a player doing up his bootlaces before a kick.

You could have knocked me over with a feather when i saw that.
I was lost for words, and still am.

The umps need to be reminded of lloyds ritual

see, im not sure that harvey can give hill the luxury of gaining confidence in the wafl.... because while hill has done nothing, we cant drop all of head, browne, duffield, thornton, hill, johnson and dodd.... im guessing the outs for next week will be

thornton, head and hill.... with perennial duds johnson, dodd, duffield and browne getting yet another undeserved chance

in the vain of questions such as "does a tree in the bush when it falls make a sound" and "which came first the chicken or the egg"...... i have a question....... how do you rebuild something that has never been built???? because that is what we are talking about here.... we arent even close to having a competitive side..... i reckon we need a complete change, call ourselves the fremantle sharks, get rid of head, johnson, murphy, browne, duffield, obrien, dodd, thornton, headland and campbell and completely start over.... change that shitty song which we only ever get to hear at the start of the game, and refuse to take shit anymore from anyone... especially our own players..... we played a bottom 6 side today and were beaten all bloody day, we are a frickin laughing stock, i dont blame harvey, i blame the, and i use the term very loosely, "players".... i honestly dont believe that harvey is telling thornton to hand ball back to a player and miss him by a meter even though any other afl player could do it with his eyes closed, i dont believe that harvey is telling duffield that when he kicks it he should aim for the opposition player ten meters infront of pavlich, and i dont believe harvey is telling johnson that he should shirk every issue that gets thrown his way.... the plain and simple fact is that connowab traded all our good picks away, and the few that we kept smart picked up heartless duds like murphy....... i gotta tell you, this is as angry as i have been about anything in life, since the eagles won the 06 premiership

Kickett I know you're angry and so am I but somehow I don't think changing our name or our song would help very much.
