What ever the case, the whole situation has been brought to the fore, and it can be dealt with properly instead of swept under the rug.

Exactly how hard is it to pick up your opponent when the opposition are in possession of the footy? Does a senior AFL player of 100+ games need to be told that week in week out, or else won't remember to do so?

Dal has never paid much attention to the defensive side of the game. Particularly this year it's often been his man playing loose on the fat side that opposition sides attack through, so it seems obvious that opposition coaches are aware of his lack of accountability and direct play through his direct opponent.

To be an elite player he needs to address this. He has the requisite talent; his dropping from the side should be a wake up call for him.

geeeze this is the big time if a player is going to have the sooks so much he wants to be traded cause he gets dropped for poor form then that player isnt worth the worry

Hey if Carlton want someone from St Kilda they can have Ross Lyon.

I won't even ask them to give up Fevola.
I won't even ask them to give up a second round draft pick.

I will even give them a scond round draft pick if they take him off our hands.

Non performers belong at Casey.
That means Ross Lyon, John Barker and Anthony Rock should be coaching Casey this week.
