One would like to hope not, but you may be right...

Usually the white boys are just accused of missing mummy if they’re suspected of being homesick.

I was told there was a funeral which was why he went back to WA.

Stop it! Sounds too much like common sense!

There was maybe a scratch match being played, is really hard to imagine a first year player returning home over the bye and staying longer than normal since the VFL is currently suspended.

There is probably a reason, hence why nothing announced so its NQR, why would he be allowed an extra week off?

Funeral vs staying for a practice match seems like a no brainer.

Chicken Little told me it was because the sky was falling

So they’re letting footballers who aren’t even playing into WA but the border is closed to everyone else?

Funerals get exemptions

Didn’t know that. Surprised actually given McGowan’s approach over last 12 months

He’s been re-elected now, things have changed.

If he’s spending time in WA because someone from his mob passed, the club may have given that special consideration.

 

[Collins-Langford-Ayres]

Hopefully back soon and performing well. Seems easily the most talented of our young small forwards, so need to him the AFL team and learning his craft.

 

[The Chad and I]

Cody Weightman is quite a player.
So is our mate Brockman - 2 years younger, fewer (and worse) of F50 entries.
Measuring up quite nicely with so much room to improve.

Is he injured? Brockman didn’t play in the VFL game today.

 

[Judd2Sewell]

Getting worried now, something doesn't seem right.

Please someone assuage my fears.

Wasn’t he the traveling emergency today??

 

[westhawk]

Wasn’t he the traveling emergency today??

Yep, was in the rooms before the game.

 

[Slysh]

I know it didn't matter in the end as we didn't use the sub but i hateeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee Brockman being the traveling emergency and not being the sub.

He needs games, personally i would like to see them at AFL level but if the club feels otherwise he needs to be playing VFL. To take him today and not use him is just another waste of opportunity.

It's not he got to travel with the team and prepare with the team, gets to be apart of all the briefing and tactics. More to footy than just kicking leather around.

Yep, but I think the point is he's losing match fitness

They’d adjust his training loads to cover a fair bit of that, I’d suggest.

Not when you have missed multiple weeks of footy

 

[Slick]

There's obviously pros and cons to him being the travelling emergency, from a purely selfish point of view, I just want to see him play some football consistently.

 

[grumbleguts]

i hateeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee Brockman

A little harsh don't you reckon?

 

[Jazzfan]

From what he showed in the first four games of the season, it's really strange we have not seen him back in the team the past ten games.

Not sure what's going on to be honest.
