Hate to be 'that horse' but dear Sam does not belong in that top 10 no matter how much talent he has. (Just saying....)

It’s alright. Would of been nice to have more dots and waves regarding indigenous design.

I must say I took a step back and I thought they were oven mittens for a seal covering a CFC jumper.

As an added bonus, it has the Dja Dja Wurrung tribe listed, who are the traditional land owners where I am in Bendigo.

Few more covid cases and Charlie may yet play 12 games this yr plus some finals

Love this.
Yes Kennet reckons season could be postponed (maybe even terminated) if the COVID situation gets worse.
Surely the season just gets delayed/postponed, the AFL cannot risk calling the whole thing off.
SO yes maybe if that happens Charlie gets more time.

They would probably cut back to 17 round with a month before returning to hubs again-- to expensive ..

Too late for this season, but if we have him & McKay together for a full season next year these 4 goal losses we keep having will become wins.

Only if our midfield can get the ball down there with any sense of cohesion and connection.

With McKay as the big dog in the forwardline, we allow Charlie the freedom to be the ultimate wingman. Elite endurance, elite mark, float/rest forward.

Really an impossible matchup.

I guess that's what we're trying to do with Setterfield at times? Difference is although he's tall, he doesn't have the other attributes.

We’ve taken a lot of things on trust in the past few years, waiting for Docherty, Wiiliamson etc to come back from injury and the jury might be walking back into the courtroom for those verdicts .

It remains to be seen how well Charlie will be or perform after his time out of the game - I’m hopeful that he’ll be fine, but ....

Setterfield seems to have been used as a bit of a big bodied tag for the last couple of weeks. Seemed to be running with Kennedy last week? Maybe trying to teach him how to find the pill.

Willo hasn't been his body right?

Doch is a great example and yes, he's back to being good but is nowhere close to his best.

I don't think we need anymore for this to become reality! Kennett let the worst kept secret slip this morning when he said expect another 'few' weeks of lockdown! Pretty much the sentiment up here is Syd as well, sadly...

 

[Juddafideslenko]

My care factor in the AFL is diminishing drastically week by week.
Post by post, article by article, one hypocrisy after another.

Honestly i wouldn't give a shit!

There are more important things at stake right now than worrying about watching a contrived game run by a corrupt organisation which consists of mostly rich entitled kids that this situation will have little 'real' affect on.

I personally am not spending my mental health on something that really doesn't matter so much.

*and it brings me no joy whatsoever to feel this way.

I wouldn’t be surprised if they postponed the seasons for a couple of weeks. Round 12 hasn’t officially been set (as far as I’m aware), but I can’t see the season coming to an end.

I'm happy with the Martin decision. Naturally high endurance player, and he played a role early on.

We just have an exhausting game plan.

Testing them

he was on fire in the richmond game, and was good in the pre season games, would've had him over levi every game so far just unlucky with the injury.

McDonald in Casboult out would have made a significant difference to our fortunes I feel.
McDonald was taking marks around the ground and his decision making and disposal was pretty damn good.
I can't help feel we've been playing one short.

 

[myblueroan]

We just need Charlie to focus on doing everything right to ensure he gets back on & stays on the footy field.

So I guess the rock climbing/free fall event I had planned with him is cancelled?
Can we still do the Highland Games? I don't see how a spot of log flinging could do any harm?

 

[Coops93]

I don't think Charlie will need long in the 2s. I think once he can play a full game they'll be getting him into the seniors pretty quick.

Maybe 3 games, with each game building more gametime. Half a game in game 1 building to the 3rd being a full game. After that he'll be in the 1s I think.

 

[BigFrizz36]

With the VFL likely to be paused for a little while yet, players returning from injury will either have to return to the seniors whilst underdone or sit it out & rely on match simulations to get them up to some sort of match fitness.

Reserves played a scratch match last Sunday versus swans and others (maybe Edwards from Richmond played).
Teague stated that Dow and Kennedy were very impressive and also mentioned LOB.
Hopefully they'll continue organising some sort of match sim scenarios.
