The shortened quarters were designed to mitigate injury were they not? Now that’s not enough and extra interchange is required? Yeah nah.

I don’t share your optimism of parish as I don’t think he’s improving anywhere fast enough to be considered a future gun. Gun mids are generally having a far greater impact at his stage of development and it’s not like he’s being held back by a gun midfield outfit either. McGrath is tracking nice though, as he should for a number one pick. I have my concerns over his disposal though but he seems to have a good understanding of the game so I think that can be mitigated some what.

As far as what blitz thinks of Woosha and his positional changes I’m not really that interested. Half the people on here think that Woosha has done a good job which flies in the face of the clubs “soft sacking” of him.

Hope you are right about us being contenders next year… Or the year after that… Or the year after that…

Parish and Langford don’t need to be given minutes or opportunities, they’ve both had plenty. It’s time for both to step up, what kind of player do they want to be?

Half a million dollars per month, not including player payments.
$6 million dollars a year, every club.
No wonder grass roots footy is dying.

Gil also said on radio this morning that he doesn’t think the extra interchange will happen. Doesn’t think it’s needed. He did say though that they reserve the right to be ‘flexible’ and ‘agile’ about it but those were his thoughts.

Sounds like the two WA teams might be staying in QLD beyond the initial 5 weeks. Would be great if we can avoid playing in Perth

Hope this 4-week floating fixture doesn’t give the AFL any ideas for uninterrupted seasons. ■■■■■■■ impossible to use Football as an excuse to avoid family birthdays if you don’t know the fixture.

“After reviewing the decision and the current adjudicating framework in place, the Match Review Officer’s findings were appropriate, however, it has become obvious that the framework in which the MRO works relating to dangerous tackles requires strengthening,” Mr. McLachlan said.

So if it was the correct decision, why are they fine tuning it? Just man up and say it was wrong and admit Christian stuffed up

Gill drops out of QandA on Future of Sport tonight. That leaves Btendon Gale to talk about the AFL
Vlandys has also dropped out but League will be represented by NRL interim CEO Abdo.
