If he got 6 weeks, then he's available next week.
He got 7! Is avaible play against North...and there's some irony.

Re: Soon come

After the Richmond win we were 9th on the ladder and at that time I thought that's about right . We are capable of beating anyone but we are also lacking in many areas. I think you may have a loose definition of "capable". We can't be lacking in many key areas and still be capable. If we ...

Re: Soon come

Soon? Henry is at least a month away, as is Crouch...So if you're including Henry then you need to add Crouch - or leave both of them out. Webster is back after next week...Surely he comes in. Is Arnie Arie Schoenmaker? And, to be honest, even with an improved effort that team is not even close to t...

Re: Sorry couldn’t watch

It's hard to think of a game in recent times where I've been more disgusted with the lack of effort. I left 10 minutes into the 3rd quarter - and I was not alone. I would have left at half time, but I was hoping to see a response after the break...Maybe the aliens would arrive again. But, no. Every ...

Re: Charlie Cameron suspended stiff to not get the StKilda tax

Fair enough, overturn the decision on the basis of Cameron’s record. He has always struck me as being a clean player: goes for the ball, doesn’t snipe. I know the AFL doesn’t seem to want to bring players’ past records into these decisions as much as used to happen, but it’s surely tolerable. But w...

Greene's tackle on Andrew looked like slow motion. Absolutely nothing in it...Barely a free kick.

Re: Tribunal a new level of randomness

Why did he not cite Nick Vlastuin's dangerous tackle on Dan Butler a couple of weeks ago? That was more dangerous than the Cameron one. I stick to my assessment of him Geez...He did cite him. Got a fine (all it deserved)...No where near as bad as the Cameron one. https://www.afl.com.au/news/1104938...

I'm not fan of the MRO but, to be fair, he did suspend Cameron for the act and it was the tribunal that overturned the decision.

Gold Coast are ahead of the curve with regards to talent acquisition and stockpiling, and by a fair margin, so there’s that and that’s going to always be the main ingredient that wins you flags. Their list is also now arguably ahead of us in terms of games played in terms of having a critical mass ...

Re: Can we?

Greene will provide a massive headache, as usual. I'd be inclined to play Stocker on him. He's the toughest of our small defenders, and Greene likes to physically intimidate his opponents with his dirty little cheap shots. I'd be stunned if Wilkie doesn't play on Greene. Toby averages 10.27 points ...
