although i don't intend on playing collingwood next week, for curiosities sake, were there any injuries from todays game?

not sure we really deserved too many more mentions. Milne would've been nice, Gram has been up and down and Goddard has been going along under the radar somewhat.

I doubt he will be selected but its great that Maxy has got some well over due recognition!! well done!

I know the AFL has never tried or even pretended to make things fair e.g. blockbuster games, GC draft concessions etc ec etc but... who's bright idea was it to play a twilight game on the sunday before a finals series!?? it shouldn't be the difference between us winning and losing but its commonsens...

Looking back maybe we should've kept attacking at the end of the games against Freo and crows instead of chipping around wasting the clock.. may have made a fair difference in required winning margin needed tomorrow!

I would've preferred North had won today now!

conditions suited the crows, doggies shoulda been 25 points up but missed too many chances and the goal when Aka punched it was a back breaker.. damn it.. a 2nd chane opp woulda been a nice unexpected surprise... however, we only have ourselves to blame.. no excuse for dropping games to WCE and pies...

As you can probably tell its more for the pre-pubescent crowd so take it as it is.

I can imagine the questions i would've asked plugger in the late 80's and how over the moon i would've been so don't be too harsh.

A more serious opportunity to chat would be nice too though..

I must say though, Dal is one of the more boring players to appear on TFS (although, most of them are). I'd imagine Baker wold be pretty good value.

If your good enough to beat the 5th ranked team then i believe your entitled to then take their spot in the fixturing. I think this is the fairest finals system you could probably get. Remember the wonderful system they had in '92'?

In what was a terrible opening Qtr and a half CJ was one of the guys keeping us in the game with his pressure and constant running and presenting. To see this you'd have to have been at the game. He'll never be an A grade player but his disposal has improved and he never stops chasing, harrassing et...

Well i guess this explains why he isn't on out list anymore..

nothing to show for another 1st rd pick traded away.. he could play too.

No doubting he has his frustrating deficiencies but thats the lot of a small forward generally. Its about putting others in the foraward line to balance that out. He kicks 50+ goals a year and is leading our goal kicking.. i think we struggle to kick enough as it is without ditching him too. The sho...

Yeah, Geary not quite ready for it this year. Has got his feet wet in the seniors which will hold him in good sted for next year.

Birss and C.Gardiner to come in i'd think..

Its funny how everyone agreed with the selection on thursday nite but now people say he should never play for us again. yes he had a shocker but he'd shown signs of form a few weeks ago and no one mcevoy is not senior footy ready. we could've picked allen but would he have won us the game? c'mon, it...

No player in their right mind would play like they did today unless they were instructed to. Not even Melbourne or Fremantle does that. The game against Hawthorn should have taught old negative Rossy that when the players play some flamboyant football we can beat anyone. Yet back we go again to a r...

i did mention what he was good at and why he may have been selected.. his long kicking. Wasn't really expecting his selection. I hope he kicks ass. Talking about current selected teams must be better than the usual GT vs whoever stuff from distant past.. hopefully w can talk about the ins and out fo...

is anyone else concerned that we have taken out a kkp. i mean kosi will now be rucking with king and only roo will be our target in the 50 and he is going to get triple teamed this week. if Mg was not ready we should have just went for gwilt for schneids. thoughts? my worry and thoughts exactly! I ...

well.. i didn't expect to see him play for us again.

I suspect this is his last chance (again), maybe to help beat the Hawks cluster with his long kicking.

Birss seems is a bit stiff..

Unfortunatly, no he doesn't.

Brad Gotch played 43 games with Fitzroy and 53 with the Saints.

Unless the AFL change the amount of games needed to qualify for father/son back down from 100 games to 50 in time for next season.

exactly right KT. a balanced rant that showed all were to blame. reading stuff on this site sometimes sounds like entering into a cult, so worshipped and one-sided people are about an individual. Now this case is over lets hope we don't have to have any more irelavant and pointless discussions about...
